Not So Warlike

Valparaíso, Nov. 8. - A report has jnst been received from Santiago to the effect that Minister of Foreign Affairs Matta has sent a dispatch to Minister Egan rclative to the Baltimore affair. It is said to be eouched in conciliatory terms and to ermee in every way a desire to see that justice is done as soon as the inquiry in this city is concluded. The Libertad Electoral, the semiofficial organ of the junta, publishes an editorial which is caleulated to set at rest any feeling of uneasiness which may have prevailed here or elsewhere in Chili. It Baya that for the last few days rumors have been prevalent at Santiago tliut an alarming rupture of amicable relations betvveen Chili and the United States was imminent "We assure the pnblic," it adds. "that these rumors are unfounded. We know thia to be a f act, for this very day dispatches have been received from Senor Pedro Montt, our minister at Washington, assertiug that the utmost cordiality exists between him and Secretary Blaine. This certainly is the very opposite of a hostile feeling. Senor Montt had an important conference with Mr. Blaine, during which the Baltimore episode was fully discussed. Mr. Blaine said that he saw in the case no reason so far to compromise the relations existing at present between the respective countries. Mr. Klaine also said that he would not form any definite opiniona about the affair until the conclusión of the investigation at Valparaíso. Senor Montt reports that Mr. Blaine's reception of him was very cordial and kind. For our part," the article concludes, "we ieel sure that these facts, when they become generally known, will put an end to all disturbing rumors." Washington, Nov. 8. - Secretary Tracy on Mouday said thcre was no warrant for warlike dispatches at this time, as nothing could be done until the result of the Chilian investigation of the attack on the sailors was known. Ue saw no rea&on for any appre hension in the mind of the American public The secretary's view is evidently shared by the state department officials, who look with amusement upon wbat they regard as clumsily disguwed efforts of a cert a in element in the Engüïh pres.s tu foment serious trouble between the United States and Chili In an effort to nullify the progress made towards the establishment of reciprocIty between the United States and South Ameriua. Lokdon, Nov. S. - The Daily Telegraph publishes the editorial: "It cannot be üeuied that the accounts furnished by Commander Schley of the actual de tails of the riot at Valparaíso are quite enough to arouse the just indignation of people of far less jealousy for their natíonal honor than the American people are known to be. Whatever may be the upshot of the unfortunate disputo, 'we most slreuuously protest against the name of this countTy being draggcd into tbe matter by one side or the other. A dispatch to a New York paper represent the t'üilians as being extremely friendly to EitgUhme'i, because they imagine that in a serious conflict with the United States England mijnt interfere in their bchalf. The junta, it asserts, is seeking an al'.iance with Great Britain. If the members of the junta, the provisional government, are in reality doing or coutemplating anything so extremeiy foolish they will soon discover their mistake. If the Chiiians have coneeived the notion that under any circumstances Great Britain will step in and proteot them from the coneequences of their acis they cannot be too soon or too emphutically disabused of that idea. Eugland will regard a war between the two countries as a misfortune to her commercial interests, but he can hardly hold that the United States must accept unmeasured inBUlts from a South Amoricau republic just because to resent them would bc iñoonvenlent to British tradani. "The taunts which have been leveled by certaln English journals agalnst tbe United State in this matter are both unjunt &nd singularly unwise. Standing altogct'idr outslde and aw;y from the quarrel which has so lamentably estranged two transatiantie democracies, England's attitude can only be that of nnxiety to sce a perfect termination of the unhappy dispute aiid willingness to do anything that lies in her power to contribute to such a solirtion. The voice of this country should bs heard not in the language of taunts and faultfinding, still less of menace. but in the advocacy of a caulious diplomacy and a mutual forbearance."
