[ Now York Herald Cable Special to TUB BIK. : ] Instead of being nnuoycd nt Sullivan's many contradictions , Sluvln is delighted to think that the big American will at last give him a ehnnco ot a fight. Slavln told the Herald tonight that ho would lenvo for America during the last wnok of November , and will then be propnrd to make a match with the big fellow for as largo a stake as bo likes to put up. The Australian stipulate * that the battle must bo with small gloves , and to a finish , before niiy legitimate club In tha states. Ho bars Now Orleans , because Mitchell cannot go the Crescent City without getting Into trouble with the authorities , and where Mitchell cannot go Slavic will not. The Australian was surprised nt Sullivan's denial of tlio meeting In St. Louis. Slavln wont there for the purpo'O of finding out wU thcr Sullivan wan ted to fight or not , nnd Sullivan then told Slavln that ho had retired from the business , "but If I go back again , " said John L. , "you shall have the first chance with mo. " This conversation took place In the big fellow's room and was re ported In every paper In America. Slavln cannot understand why Snlllvnn should deny It now. Slavln-sald : "It Is a pity Su'- ' llvan did not accept the olTor mndo by tbo Melbourne Athlotlo club to find n purse of i'5,000 and furnish a xldo bet of 5,000. No such arrangement ut this will bo mode by any other English or American club. Besides prize lighters do not usually cary backers around with them. Anyway I will go to Now York and see whether Sullivan will really fight. So If ho will put up n forfeit with the Herald ho can rest assured I will attend toil. I shall ex pect the cluD giving the purse to furnish mo my expenses. I would sea that Sullivan got his expenses if ho fought in England or .Australia. .

Oct. .11. The Ilorald's Wash ington correspondent says ! Secretary Blalno rather enjoys the excitement of having so lively a controvert } " on bis hands at the out set of liU roturu to work. Ho feels fully capable of taking care of It nnd Is receiving little advice oxccpt the warnings of the pres ident to go slow and trc.it the Chllluns with forbearance. The fact that the Chilian situ ation was not seriously discussed nt the cabi net meeting Is the best proof that thcro was nothing sensational in regard to It today. This fact disproves also the story which was set afloat.that Minister Egan is to bo re called. Such n step would not bo taken without the consultation of the cabinet , and I bnvo the authority of n cabinet oflicor that it has not been taken. The moment that Minister Egan abandoned the legation the place would cease to bo protected by the American ling , nud the friends of Butmuccda who have found a refuge there would bo ox- nosed to the danger of tnstnut massacre. The provisional government would not bo bound by diplomatic usugo to glvo safe con duct to these men nnd they wouiu not bo likely to do It of their own free will under such circumstances. There are nearly u score of these adherents of Bulmaccdu protected ut the legation nud to abandon them in cold blood , without the strongest , reasons , would bo almost as bard h ) justify as Napoleon's shooting down uf his Turulslf prisoners because ho could not carry them away with him. Minister Egan , i have the best authority for saying , will remain at bis post while thcro Is n possibility that Cull ! intends to make amends for the brutal .slaughter In tbo streets of Valparaiso , nnd while there Is a necessity of protecting these who have sought the shelter of tliu stars and stripes.

Tbo Post says a pon- tloman who was informed yesterday of the domund of Chili for the recall of Kgnn suv.s ho received today an authoritative dispatch from Washington announcing that Blalno had promised Senor Monti that tlio United States legation wculd bo put In c&argo of its secretary next Monday. The Commercial Advertiser special from Washington says * Socretaiy Blaine has in formed Motitt that his government wilt in sist upon reparation for the insults of the Chilians. WisiiiNOTO.v , D. C. , Oct. 31 , There Is nothing itidicativo of n change in the Chilian situation this afternoon so lur as learned. There has been no further exchange of dis patches between this government nud its rep- reentatlvos in Chili. The report telegraphed from Now York this afternoon that Secretary Blaine had promised SonorMontt that the United States legation would bo put in charge of its secre tary , fails to Iind cjiitirmation hero. On * ho other hand , the fuel is mentioned by the State department olllcinls that thcro is no secretary attached to the United Stares lega tion at Santiago. fllnro British Patience. As a portion o f the English press contlnuo to ciiticizo the uttituto assumed by the United States in respect to Chili and contrast it with the forbearance exhibited by Great Britain in lilto cases , another precedent in line with the Brazilian incident quoted In these dispatches u tow days ago may bo cited as Illustrative of the British methods of ad- judieiating differences with smaller nations. In 18b7 the governor of the Britisti colony of Trinidad sent n written notice to the government of the neighboring stnto of Vedo- /uela requiring the payment of the claim of two British vessels the Henrietta and Josephine which had boon seized by the Venezuelan government for alleged violation of law. The Venezuelan government was notillod that unless payment was mada within seven dnys the commander of the British forces in the West Indies would take the necessary measures to collect the money. The Venezuelan minister of foreign aflairs called together the diplomatic corps ana ap pealed to them to exert their good oOlces to prevent Great Britain from enforcing this threat In so summary a manner before the claims coulo bo properly examined nnd ad judicated. The diplomatic corps declined to Interfere , basing their refusal on the ground that the matter was ono that must bo arranged bn- twoen the two countries interested. Mcnn- wuilo the British squadron made prepara tions to enforce the demands made upon the Venezuelan government and the latter pro testing against the injustice of the claim and appealing publicly to the nations of tno old and now worlds against the summary method adopted by Great Britala , paid over the $40,000 , yielding , as it said , to superior strength and not to reason or justice.

Admiral Irvln Talks About the Fleet on the Paclilc. SvxPuvxcisco , Gal. , Oct. ill. The naval ofllcors at Mara Island are of the opinion that the United States has ships enough in fight- trim nt the present moment to handle Chill with ease. Admiral Irvlu , commandant at Mara Island , in discussing Uioquostion , said : "wo can handle Chill easily , without any additional work or preparation.Vo bavo ships enough In lighting trim now to squelch Chili. Valparaiso Is the key to the entire situation , and I do not apprehend any dllll- culty In capturing the key. Of course-wo shall want Iqulquo as well , for that is Chill's purse. I say take It , not blockade It. The nltrnto exporters do not care whom they pay duty to and wo If wo did not want It wo could turn it over to Peru , from whom Chill took it. I think this talk about privateers doing damage to American commerce in the event of war Is nonsense. If it really has any foundation it would moan that the privateers would bo foreign vessels , under the Chilian Hag , as certain foreign elements have an interest In stirring up strlfo. As far us Chill nlono Is concerned there Is noth ing to worry about. She could bo taken care of by the vessels entering the port of San Francisco that have boon found uo to the qualifications ol the naval reserve standard. iMiiHHln a Mighty Flaot.

The merchant marine vessels referred to would bo of vast assistance , however , us transports and provision freighters and would lessen the number of ilghUnir ships required to a vary small number. The Mlantonomah could got around there easily , cither by steaming from ono coal port to another or going in tow of ouo of the big twin screw ships. There are several ships that could tow her around easily and make good time , and once there , with the fast merchant nmrlnu to keep her supplied with coal , ammunition and provis ions , she could pretty near settle the Chilian lighting forces herself.

Though thcr < nro no new developments today In the stall of the diplomatic strain existing between thi United States nnd Chill the political atmos phcro shows no signs of clearing. The mom hers of tlio American colony an ex peeling nt any moment to hear Urn tbo United States eovcrninont has sen an ultimatum to the junta. The only sllgh change In the situation lies in the fact tha the junta , thiough its organs nnd by Its rep rcscnttitU'cs , nro now claiming that the polici of Valparaiso wcro in no way at fault In nr resting the sailors of the Baltimore or Ii their subsequent treatment of them. This with other matters , notably the oxpectatlor that Minister Egan will soon bo directed b. , the Stnto department at Washington to present sent an ultimatum to'tho junta Is , natural ! } causing great oxcitmnont in oftlcial and othci circles. The possibility of serious trouble with the United States has led the Chilians into what may turn out to bo a dangerously delusive ' "bollof. They seem-to bo of' the opinion that should Chili become involved in hostilities with the United States an alliance with Great Britain could bo formed. linked , the Chilians are already gravely discussing the possibilities and probabilities of such an alli ance between Chili and GreatBrltatn against the United States. The United Stages legation is again being closely watched by the police in the manner adopted some weclrt ago when the legation's right of asylum was questioned. No reason , so far ns can oo learned , bus boon assigned lor this renewed surveillance. It is not un likely that the government has taken this means of kcopmir fully advised of all who enter or leave the legation. Possibly also It Is Intended by keeping the legation under constant observation to make the right of asylum us dlfllcult mill trying as possible. In any event thofact _ cannot bo lost sight of that this ospionriga'is ' annoying to the mem bers of the United States legislation as well as to the American colony at largo. That the police on duty near the American legation are under , Instructions to make ar rests of persons leaving that place in certain contingencies isH"inanifest from the luct that two ludios who hud been calling at Minister Egan's vycro placed under arrest last night as they c mo out into the street. The ladies were questioned by the olllcer Jn charge , wiio appears to have satisfied him self that this wnn not a case where bis in structions justified him in holding them prisoners , so they were restored to liberty and allowed to proceed on their way without further molestation. U is needless to add that they nnd their friends are much exas perated at tbo action of the polico. Last night also a carriage was driving past the legation wtion the police made un at tempt to stop it , on wlnit pretext is not known. The driver , bovvovor , whipped up his horses and drove away before the police could capture him or see who was In the carriage. These incidents , though almost nothing under ordinary circumstances , are nmirniliod oy the condition of public fooling hero and by tlio status of the negotiations between the United States and Chili. So it is not to bo wondeicd at that Americans feel unoasv and are apprehensive that something serious may happen. Tno members of the junta continuo to express the strongest feeling agaiusttho United States. A prominent member of the junta , who nolds a position in the cabinet , in an inter view in regard to the dispute between the two countries spoke iu n nest unfriendly manner concerning America and Americans.
