SAXTIAOO , Chill , ( vlft Galveston , Tex. ) ,
Oct. 80-By [ Mexican Cable to the Herald
Special to Tun Bm : . ] The Chilian author
ities uhow no disposition to recede from the
dollant attitude which they received In
answer to the communication from the State
department In Washington In regard to the
assault on the momboia of the
crow of the United States cruiser
Baltimore. Pedro Montt , the representative
of the provisional government at Washing
ton , sent a cable dispatch , which was received
today , urging the Junta to adopt n concilia
tory policy and to move with great caution ,
but his ndvlco has apparently had no effect.
Up to this date there has boon no sign of an
apology for the assault on the Baltimore's
men , and no reply has been made to Minister
Egan's request for au immediate Investiga
tion of the causo.
I nm at a loss to account for the actions ot
some of the clear headed Chilians for showing
such n noncouclllatory disposition In this
matter except for the prosumptlon that they
are influenced by ignorant advisors or are
disposed to glvo way to popular clamor.
While the American and other foreign resi
dents fully realize tbo gravity of the situa
tion and are fearful of other and perhaps
greater complications , the Chilian public ap
pears to have no conception of It.
Beyond the meagre facts which have boon
published In the local papers they nro ns a
rule Ignorant of what has occurred. Much
surprise Is felt hero among the Americans
that the San Francisco has not Joined the
Baltimore at Valparaiso.
Shot by a Policeman.
Several foreigners who witnessed the re
cent fight nro ready to testify thut Boat
swain's Mate Uogan , the only man who was
killed outright in the light , was shot by a po
liceman. Local papers steadily refrain from
commenting on tno affair.
The funeral of Trumbull , the man who died
from the olfocts of wounds received in the
attack , was not attended by any of the Chil
ian ofllcors except by an escort of police who
were sent to preserve order.
Captain Schloy of the Baltimore has ap
plied to the intendento of Valparaiso to pro
tect the ofllcers nnd mon of his ship who
were obliged to go ashore on necessary busi
ness. The Intcndcnte replied that ho was
unable to glvo any advice relative to the
Baltimore's mon coming ashore. Ho evades
the question of protection altogether. Cap
tain Schloy does not intend to cease attend
ing to his necessary shore work , even if ho
has to arm and protect his own men.
DIsciiMHcd by the Cabinet ,
WASHINGTON. D. C. , Oct. 30. At the Navy
department today there is no sign of dis'-
turbanco over Chilian affairs. At the cabi
net-mooting thU afternoon tup tlmo wnsjUo-
voted to discussing the Chilian situation" . It
is surmised that Secretary Blaine submitted
for consideration the outline of a reply to bo
made to Minister Egan's communication ,
that Its details were perfected and that in
duo time it will bo made public. There have
boon no further dispatches from Minister
Egan or Commodore Schloy.
Sensational Kumors.
During the afternoon all kinds of sensa
tional and , In many cases , manifestly absurd
stones were telegraphed to Washinirton from
other cities in this country and Europe for
confirmation or contradiction , lu the latter
category was the startling announcement ca
bled to Europe by a sonsatlor.-mongorlng
news agency that Uio president's cabinet had
decided to declare war on Chili ; that all of
our navy yards had been ordered to prepare
vessels to leave immediately , and tbat orders
had been Issued to the vessels therefor.
When this story was brought to the atten
tion of the ofllcials of the Department of
State they were amused rather than
Indignant at the Inventive fecundity
shown by the news ngcncy , which has
been for some time disbarred fronj
access to the news given out by the depart
ment itself. Ono of the assistant secretaries ,
after characterizing the story as absurd , re
marked that the author had overlooked the
fact that under the terms of section S of the
constitution the congress of the United States
alone had power to declare war , and that the
president and his caoiuot had no share of
this power. So , too , the story that Minister
Eean had been recalled was promptly de
clared to bo au invention without foundation
in fact.
The Navy department ofllclals evidently
have no expectation of an limned into out
break of war. Commander Kamsoy , li. charge
of the Navigation bureau , without whoso
knowledge not a naval ship moves , said that
so far as ho know there had not been a single
order Issued bearing on the Chilian situation
during the past week.
The naval oOIcor.s In charge of the various
bureaus In the different navy yards also
stated thut tbaro were no unusual prepara
tions going on in their respective uoyurt-
inonts.
Altogether there was an air of serenity
and everyday humdrum about the Stnlo and
Navy departments which , no less than the
oral denials , afforded nn emphatic contradic
tion of any and all sensational reports of
warllko disturbances ,
for American Gore.
From the Evening Star : "It would bo a
wholesome thing for the political health of
the entire South American continent , " bald u
prominent nuval olllcer , "if this country
should turn In and glvo Chili n good , sound
thrashing.
"They huvo the most Insane notions down
there about au International war , and they
really think they could defeat the United
States without trouble. There uro about
ii.OOO.OOO . of thorn In tbo whole country , a few
moro than In the fainglo city of Now York ,
and they have not the slightest conception of
the magnitude of this nation and Its tromcn-
deus resources , They have no Idea of what
is meant when wo toll them that wo have
(10,000,000 ( Inhabitants , and they are sincere
In tbo belief tlir.t they cnuld successfully
COPO with us In a light.
"Thoy are lighters from the first word.
They will fight over anything or ut the drop
of tno hat , as the expression goes. They
have just been through asuvero civil war and
their blood U up. The masses are probably
oiigcr for a brush with the United States , nnd
they are no doubt urging their authorities en
to a dollant attitude. Their recent troubles
have but Increased their thirst for blood and
the excitement of warfare , and I should not
bo surprised to see bulllL'oront demonstrations
before long. And I should welcome such a
thing , nnt for the salto of activity In the
navy , but for the good and wholesome effect
it would have upon the world ' at
largo. The United States has boon
far too consorvutlvo In its at-
tltudo towards the rest of the powers ,
and oven If Chill Is small and weak , the
spectacle of our whipping her would produce
for us an excellent prostlgo aurDad. Then ,
too , it would firmly establish once for all our
supremacy on this hcinUphcro ,
The Chilians In my opinion are the finest
lot of people In South America , They have
good notions of progress and tholr country
is well advanced. Yet they are quite blind
to our own greatness In comparison and
tbliiK that they are every Inch a ? good as wo
nro. "
Another officer , speaking on the same sub
ject , said : "Tho Cbillun natos an American
that Isnnlnhabtltuntof the Unltoa States
worse than poison. Hadutrusts bun and tnks
every opportunity to got a whack at him.
Ho will fight ono as soon a ho cots
Within distance of picking n quarrel. I don't
know why this Is , unless because vvg have
tent down so mnny poor spoclmo1 / our
race to trndo , and thus have do1 latod
our own stock through our rupros - - , lve.s.
I should like to see an affair with I il , if
only for professional reasons , but/ / : : > because -
cause I think tno time has comothis /
country to administer n lesson to sq ) iiu.
"The best thing thn United State7 ,1 do , "
ho continual ) , "Is to mass oft nil lt < . ; dlablo
force In Chilian waters nnd glvo little
beggar n chance to see what n grj power
this Is. The navv can muster nu ! i Meet
now , and it would be a good tlmal nako n
show , oven If nothing moro was . mpted.
All the thing should begin right I ; mid bo
eoinuminiUed us speedily ns possible , "
Station * Needed.
Still another naval officer said : "Wo have
before us n demonstration of the wisdom of
Washington's maxim In tlmo ot peace prepare -
pare for war. Some of those who nro now
arguing vigorously and war-lilto demonstra
tions are mon whoso rare It should have been
to pronaro us for such an emergency. T'JO '
Isavy department has boon trying to Impress
upon congress the importance of providing
coaling stations In both the Atlantic and
Pacific , but nothing has boon done and wo
are now without means of coaling our ves
sels in those waters. Wo have neither
codling stations nor drv doclts In that
vicinity. In case wo go to war with Chill
all the countries between here and Chill will
bo neutral. There will have to be n line of
coal vessels sent from San Francisco to
Chill. Our vessels cannot long remain In
these waters without getting their bottoms
HO , foul that nit their speedy qualities will bo
destroyed , and If tbo Chilians could cut off
our coal supplies wo would soon bo In a bad
condition. Moreover , It weald bo necessary
for our vessels to sail back to Sun Francisco
to have their bottoms cleaned. The only
thing to do would bo to capture n port anil
establish n coaling station. "
"Should there bo hostilities , " said ono of
the diplomats , -"as 1 don't easily see hnw
they can now bo avoided , you need not look
for any great naval engagement in Chilian
xvntcrs. Your enemy seeks loud sounding
glory , and ho would send ono or two of bis
ships to your Pacific coast. No ouo would
know whither thov had u-ono until they ap
peared In San Ulogo or San Francisco Imr-
bor and there would bo the trouble. Yon
don't think men who are not ignorant could
bo so foolish , but you do not know those
Chilians. Tholr bravado Is something won
derful ; Insane , I grant you , but nevertheless
wonderful. Such n conflict could have but
one result arrogance would bo laid In the
dust but these hot heads would have caused
infinite damage to some of your coast cities
for you have no fortifications worthy of the
no mo.
' You have many fine warships , though ,
nnd to us who know these who desire to bo
your opponents It would not bo surprising if
a naval engagement In ono of your California
harbors were to take pluco within sixty
cloys. "
Heii'itorial Opinions.
Senator Edmunds called on the sec.-otary
of the navy today. In response to "nn In
quiry , ho sold that ho was sure that this gov
ernment would bo firm mid jast and would
do the right thing in the right way. Uo
Hoped the Chilians would bo reasonable
enough and sonstulo enough to act properly.
A reporter saw Senator Cullom after ho
had had an Interview with Secretary Tracoy.
Speaking of the Chilian affair , the senator
said : "Tho situation looks very ugly.
These little chaps down there nro very
'sassy' ' and I think wo shull bo obliged to
give them n lesson If they don't change their
tactics at once. The only thing for us to do
Is to send our war ships down tuoro and glvo
them the mischief. "

Anti-American Sentiment Growing.
SANTIAGO DE OIIIM , Oct. 80. It is generally -
ally admitted hero by the supporters of the
government and by the Americans nnd these
In sympathy with them , that the situation of
affairs us regards the dispute between the
United States and Uhlli has not Improved.
In fact the anti-American fooling is growing
In bitterness , nnd all the American ofllcials in
Chili are apprehensive.that further trouble Is
browing. Tlio exact nature of this trouble
they are unable to define , but they sco little
prospect that an amicable settlement of the
Valparaiso Incident will soon bo reached ,
and the signs of Increasing popular animosity
toward the United States glvo ground for ap
prehension and Indignation ,
It Is not Intended by these statements to
create n feeling of alarm or oven anxiety as
to the final result of the diplomatic negotia
tions now in progress , but from all one can
see hero todav , the relations between the
Junta and tbo United States governmant are
dangorouslv strained.
United States Minister Egan , Captain W.
W. Schley of the Baltimore and William B.
McCroory , United btatos consul ut Valparaiso
raise , were In close consultation throuchout
the day , and though it is not possible to ob
tain u'ny definite statements from them for
publication regarding the nature or the re
sult of their long deliberations. . It can bo said
that they nil consider the reply of the Junta
to Minister Ecun's note asking for proper
explanation of the Valparaiso collision as do-
cluodlv insulting to tlio United States gov
ernment. It is also known that they regard
the situation at present as being serious.
Tim reply of the Junta , they thliiu , moans
practically tbat Chill is indignant at the do-
munds made by the United States govern
ment , that she will take her own time to con
sider the matter , and that when the Junta
reaches u conclusion that government will
settle the matter without reference to the
views of the United States on the subject.
Thti reply of the Junta , they further hay ,
falls to express any regret for the murder of
the Baltimore's men , nor Is there In that doc
ument any expression of regret as to thocon-
duct of the police in using their bayonets In
lUTt'stlng the Baltimore's mon. Several of the
latter , It will bo remnmbcrod , are more or
loss severely woundnd with bayonet thrusts.
Whllo the United States officials hero u o
Justly Indignant at the terms which the reply
of the Junta Is couched , their Indignation is
ns nothlmr to that felt by lha American resi
dents In Chill. They do not conceal the fact
that they nro looking for further und moro
serious trouble , posslblv In the near future ,
between Chill and tlio United Slates.
Soliley Will Not Ho HlufTeil.
It Is learned today that the United States
cruiser Baltimore is prepared to enforce , If
such a course Is found necessary , proper
treatment for her officers ami Kallors who
may bo compelled by the necessities of the
service to go us ho re. It is not meant by this
that Captain Schley will In any way Irritate
the Chilians by sending men or officers
ashore when It Is evident that they are not
welcome thoro. On the contrary ,
everything possible will bo done by
the Baltimore's commander to avoid any
trouble. But for marketing provisions ,
\vetorlng , Interchange of messages between
the commander und the United States minis
ter and other necessary duties , mon nnd of
ficers hbvo to go ashore , nnd the captain of
the United States cruUor does not intend to
bo prevented from attending to such duties.
But as the virtual boycott placed upon the
Baltimore continues , Captain Schloy , If ho
finds It necessary , will send urmcil men
ashore unit will take other stops to ensure
their protection.
It has Just become known that there is
another feature of the Valparaiso outrao
which demands explanation. The municipal
And government officers uf Valparaiso who
made an Investigation of lha attack upon the
sailors of the Baltimore compelled the United
States mon-of-wnrs' men who were con ( I nod
in the prison to sign n .statement written
In Spanish , exonerating the police
from all responsibility as to tholr
arrest. As thoao papers bad to bo

The danger of trichinosis does not exist.

provo that oven with n duty of LV > francs
American pork would bo abe ! to compote

to n customs duty. Ono should seek to defend -
fond tlio national Interests , not foreign Inter
ests. In support of his argument ho cites
tbo example of the United States , which exacts -
acts a duty of f > francs of foreign pork and
nil other duties established by the Melilnloy
bill. Finally ho cites the tarlir of Germany
nnd Italy , which levy n duty on American
pork of'J. > fruncs.
Devillo , minister of agriculture , claims the
maintenance of the duty of 'JO francs , which
ho consider * protects sufficiently French
production. The council of agriculture had
oven thought It ! francs sufficient. The cham
ber did not think so , and Iho government
stood up for 'JO francs , but hu thought It
