This Is the news which COIUM from Minister Hcaii in SanttDKo tonight and confirms bis advices of Inst evening. When the proposition is nrado It may bo ntorprntcd by the United States as warlike or it mny bo accepted as a pcacu offorlnir , but It nt lonst asks the opportunity to tnnho it. Minister Kgati tins been uotiflod that Instructions will bo sent to Min ister Monlt for a ohango of negotia tions. Mr , Ksnn evidently thinks that tlmo should bo Riven for a new proposi tion to no formulated , so the preiiaunt's mo-tsago anil the correspondence will not go lo congress tomorrow. It may bo Friday or Monday , but the Chilians will have tbo opportunity - portunity fpr their lutost expression to bo put before congress at tbo same tlmo. Vt'liut Chill Iliis lo hay. Up to this evening Minister Montt had not received bis instructions , but no is looking for them every day. What Chill has to say wl'll bo In the nature of tm ultumatum from it , not in the ofToiifJvo , but in the way of a reply to tno Unitoi States government. It will fully dcflno Its position on all the points In controversy , declare how far It is ready to go in tbo direction of an apology for the Malta letter ns well as making reparation /.or the Baltimore outrage. If its propositions are satisfactory to tno United States , and the belief is they will not bo , then It will bo qthor ! war or arbitration. But Chill nas at least cot to the point where , In answer to Minister jSgau's peremptory instructions , It declares Itself ready to make a categorical reply. IMsi-imlng the Situation , it remains to bo seen whether the repre sentation made to the minister In Santiago will \ > o carried out or whether the Montt government will nt the last moment fail to come to time. The recent developments were discussed Ibis afternoon at tbo white bouse by President Harrison and Secretaries Blnlno , Tracy and Ellcins. Ex-Minister John \V. Foster also bad a previous inter view \vltla the president on sotno questions of diplomatic precedents bearing on the situ ation. The conference between the president and his secretaries lasted till evening1. Not .Miitermlly ClniiiKtMl. There seemed to DO But little Idea that the developments from Chill would cause any change In thu attitudu of the United States because the reparation proposed , as outlined by the somewhat meager news from Minister Eg4n , did not moot the case though It was of sufficient importance to justify the president In tailing a little moro time to wrltu bis mos sago. Practically tha situation was declared to be not materially changed since thn presi dent discussed it < in his annual mcssago. It was therefore clear that everything bearing on the subject , would tro to cougross as prom ised , with something in the line of1 a recom mendation from the president , and with pos sibly a hint that a resolution from the legis lative body might bo dcstrabto to show that the executive and legislative branches of the government were in accord in upholding American rights. Xot InillciitUt cThcre was plainly little expectation on the part of the president ami his advisors that congress could be informed that all tha questions in dispute were In process of satis factory settlement and that thu ordinary channels of diplomacy were .still sufficient to meet the omorgom-y. IVllCI-llll IlllIlclltlollH. s Wullo the cabinet as a body did not assom- bio for deliberation today the joint presence l < of Secretaries Blnino , Ebtlns nnd Traoy at the white bouse this afternoon bore a strong resemblance to a meeting of the cabinet. They remained In conference with the presi dent for a long tlmo , and Genor.il ,1. W. Fos ter was called lu for consultation. Tha dis cussion related generally to the Chilian affair , Lmt the question under consideration wsts Uio character ot the prosidont's mcssago to congress. Senor Montt , tbo Chilian minister , was at tbo State department today mm had n short. Interview with Assistant bocrutary Adeo , but , U is understood , ho had nothing im portant to communicate. Secretary Traoy received n cable message from Commander Evans today saying that the Yorktown , with the rofuguos nn board , would sail from Valparaiso tor.lght for Callao. Tim Is regarded at the Navy do- partmcul as an indication that affairs are quiet m Chili at present. Whllo Commander Evans was given full discretion , it is taken for granted that ho would not leave Vnlpnr- niso If there was any necessity for his presence once there , except In pursuance of orders direct from the Navy department. At the meeting of tbo sonatu committee on foreign relations todav there wns no mention made of anything relating to Chilian affairs. NO Tunritu : Ai'rKiiuxi : : > ii : > .

Ono of the boats chanced to got near the Yorktown and when about thirty motors away slewed around. That was absolutely ull the foundation there was to the report. Commander Evans , happening to uo uihoro shortly utter thn took place , talked a good ooal about It to our officials hero , nnd notably to Consul MeC'rcory and Lieutenant Harloiv I hivvo just had an Interview with the cap tain of the Chilian torpedo launch Sarjeuto Aide , Ho Mates that all the torpedo boats lu question were ordorud to practice lu the bay without torpedoes.

As I have cabled you , Ihoso warlike reports are , In my opinion , seiilout from this country by persons wbo seem nuxlous to bring about serious trouble between Chill and the United States.

Eighteen hundred johus have slopped work in consqquonco of the exactions of the com pany , which requite ? thorn to turn iu 211 francs every night for the hire of , its cabs. , The mou uppo to bankrupt the company , which has n capital of &r > .uOOOUO francs , nnd can hold out for two mouths longer. Meanwhile , however , it is losing " . * iQUQ francs a Jay by th'o strike. It seems impossible for ttio company to accept tbo offer of the drivers to pay 15 francs iv day for tbo cabs , as the first cost of the vehicles and horses is 17 francs. The strikers uro enabled to continue their fight by menus of subsidies received from tbo johus in the empjny of tbo rival companies. Euch of these drivers contributes 1 frano a day to the fund an easy matter , as the earn ings of tha nonurbalna men are much In creased by the strike. The Paris municipal has voted a sum of 10,000 for the strikers , who have now bO.OOO francs at their disposal. The fight may bo a long one , though it is u case of sous against francs.

In the ratika of the tramp iirlntor no moro adventurous caroo appears than that of globe trotter Holier * M. Sinytho , says Iho Washington 1'oat. A young man yet , under 2/5 / years , ho has prob- iihlj stuck typo under moro Hags than the oldest voloran who worked with Horace Oruuloy and followed the star of omplro lo the ( foldon ( into and back a do/on jottrnoys.

There ho took ad va nt ago of genial King Ivula kaua's well known partiality for Amer icans and struck the old goiitljinan suc cessfully for a place in the royal print ing ollico. In the language of the Sandwiehors , there Is no wand for wcalhor , since the temperature rarely varies moro than " 0 degrees. The enterprising merchant who hangs out a different thickness of undercloth ing for every sign of the rodinc is r.ot rated in the Sandwich Bnulstreet After Sinytho tired of hobnobbing with darK royalty ho found a passage to the -Sa- moaii islands , \vliofo the monotoin of typesetting was relieved by the Interna tional row then in full swing. Now Zea land was the ne\t stopping place , and from there 11 was a short jump to Aus tralia. Sinytho slopped for eighteen months in the live colonies and followed his trade in Sydney , Melbourne , Ade laide and smaller town1' . Wayfarers from the United States are received with open arms .in the Island continent , . Kvon Iho privilege of franchise in colonial elections is extended - tended to thorn without the Intervention of naturaliy.ulion red tape. The tramp printer had opportunities to cast an Australian ballot on its native licath.but refrained , partly because ho was not in- toichtod in tbo politicb and partly be cause ho was afraid it might Impair his standing as an American citizen. After Australia came India , known to fume in this year as the homo of Itud yard Kipling , who pushed a reporter's pencil on onu of the Kngligh papers and whoso copy Sinytho put in type. Several English newspapers gave a place to the Kansas pilgrim , but Sinytho found the BritOns too cold blooded iiittl haughty to thaw iiuo geniality ovou under tropical suns , and so ho packed the white linen which constitutor an oriental wardrobe and decamped from Madras into Ceylon. That spicy island paid duo homage to Yankee ontorpribo , and offered a foremanship in its govern ment printing oslablibhinonl , entailing a monthly revenue of a high bounding number of rupees which would conio to about , oiglity American dollars. Along with this was a house and two native sorynnls. But young Smythe was beginning lo roach out in his mind for civilization airuin , .so ho booked him self on an Knirlisb steamer for Gibraltar and voyaged up through the Sue ? canal , which ho described as a big ditch like inv artificial waterway , only wider and lirtior than the general run. After a few months in Palestine and Arabia ho again sol will. Al Iho olher end of the Mediterranean the Rock of liibrtiltar ofiored attractions too great o bo passed , so ho stopped ever to in spect Iho garrison and take a run into Spain. A sailing vessel picked him up ind dropped anchor finally up the Thames tit London. A tier a few mouths in the ollices of the irovincial papers Sinytho embarked on its Html voyage with Ngw York lii ylow. 3n two or three metropolitan papers ho latullod the typos , and thtsti came lo his irosonl stopping place in the capital , vhich suits him HO well that ho outer- ains no ambition for future travel. ' 'I was a groal reader in inv younger lays , " said Smythe , "and made up mj iiind to see Iho world and lllon settle lown to businoB. " Then ho quoted Stevonson'ri saying- that "books are good mough In tliofr waybut a mighty blood- osb substitute for iffo. " And ho has cer- ulnly seen a little of the latter.
