2 [PROM YESTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION, | NAY MEAN WAR THIS TIME, Chili Requests Permission to Submit an Entirely New Proposition, HOW THE YORKTOWN RUMOR STARTED. Torpedo Boats, Drilling, Manwavered Close to the American Craiser—Yorktow Has Suiled From Valparaiso—Sum= ry of the Situation, WasHINGTO! D. C., Jan. 20.—[Special Telegram to Tie Ber, |—Chill wants time to make a proposition. It its to put the whole controversy on & new busis. Tbis i3 the news which comes from Minister Egan n Santiago tonight and confirms his advic of last ovening. When the proposition is made it be nterprated by the United States as warlize or it mny be accepted asa peace offering, but it at least asks tho opportunity to make it. Minister kgan has been uotific that instructions will be sent to M- ister Montt for a change of negotia- tions. Mr. Igan evidently thinks that timo should be given for a new proposi- tion to ve formulated, so the president's messnge and the correspondence will not go to congress tomorrow. It may be Friday or Monday, but the Chilians wili have the op- portunity for their latest expression to be put before congress at the same timo. .. What Chili Has (o Say. Up to this evening Minister Montt had not received his instructions, but ne is looking for them every day. What Chili has to say will be in the nature of an ultumatum from 1t, not in the offensive, but in the way of a reply to the United States government. It wail fully define its position on all tho poiuts in controversy, declare how far it is ready to go in the direction of an apology for the Matta letter as well as making reparation for the Baltimore outrage. If its propositions are satisfactory to the United States, and the belief 1s they will not be, then it will be either war or arbitration. But Chili has at loast ot to the point where, in answer to Minister 13gan’s peremptory instructions, it declares itsolf ready to make a categorical reply. w may Diseussing the Situation, 1t remaias to be seen uether the repre- sentation made to the minister in Santiago will be carried out or whether the Montt goverument will at the last moment fail to come to time. The recent developments wore discussod tnis afternoon at the white house by President Harrison and Socretavies Blaine, Tracy and Elkins, Ex-Minister John W. Foster aiso bad a previous intor- view with the president on somo questions of diplomatic precedents bearing on the situ- auon. The couference between the president and his secrotaries lasted till evening. Not Materially Change ‘There scemed to e but little idea that the developments from Cinli would cause any chauge in the attitude of the United States because tho reparation proposed, as outlinea by the somewhat meager news from Minister Egan, did not meet the case though it was of suflicient importance to justify tho president in taking a little more time to write his mes sage. Practically the situation was declared to be not materially changed sinco the presi- dent discussed it in his annual message. It was therefore clear that everything bearing on the subject, would €0 to CONETess as proru- ised, with somothing in the line of a recom mendation from the president, and with po sibly a hint that a resolution from the legis Lative body might be desirable to show that the executivo and legislative branches of the government were in accord in upholaing Americau rights. Not Indieative of Pea: There was plainly little expectation on the part of the president and his advisers that congress could be informed that all the questions in dispute were in process of sutis- factory sottlement and that the ovdinary channels of diplomacy were still sufticient to meet the emergency. Peu ul Indications, While the cabinet as a body did ot assem- ble for deliberation today tho jownt presonce of Secretaries Blaine, Elkins and Tracy at the white house thisafternoon boro a strong resemblance to a meeting of tho cabinet. ‘Thoy remaiued in conference with the presi- dent for a long time, and General J. W. Fos ter was called iu for consuitation. The dis- cussion related gonerally to the Chilian affair, bt the question under consideration was the character of the prosident’s messago to congress. Senor Montt, the Chilian minister, was at the Stato dopartment today ana had'a shory intorviow with Assistant Secretary Adee, but, itis understood, ho had nothing im- portant to communicate. Secrotary T'rucy received u cable message from Commander Evans today saying that the Yorktown, with_the refugees on board, would sail from Valparaiso toright for Callao, This is regarded at the Navy de- partment_as an indication that affairs are quiet in <hili at present. Whilo Commander lvans was given full discretion, it is taken for granted that ho would not leave Valpar- 30 if there was any necessity for his pres once thore, excopt in pursuance of orders direct from the Navy department. At the meeting of the senate committee on foreign relations today there was no mention made of anything relating to Chilian affairs. HENDED, Ident Thinks the Dispate Wil on B Amicably Adjus [Copyrighted 1592 by James Gordon Bennett. | Varraraiso, Chili (via Galveston, Tex.), Jan, 20.—[By Mexican Cablo to the New York Herald—Special to Tus Bek.|—The Herala can state positively that President Moatt yesterday told an official bigh in the Chilian service that there was not the slight- est doubt but what ull matters at present in dispute between the United States and Chili would e amicably settled withina short time. Itisa deliborate lio that was fired on. The facts that were seized upon to cirou late the canard were as follows: The Chilian torpedo boats were practicing in Valparaiso bay without torpedoos, only spars being used. One of the boats chanced to get near tho Yorktown and when about thirty moters away slewed around. That was absolutely all the foundation thero was to the roport. Commander Evans, happening to be ashore shortly after this took place, talked a good deal about it to our ofticials here, and notably to Consul MeCreery and Lieutenant Harlow 1 havo just had an interview with the cap tain of the Chilian torpedo launch Sarjento Alde. He states that ali the torpedo boats in question were ovdered to practice in the bay without torpedoes. His launch, while so eogaged, happened to pass the Yorktown, clreling, He indignantly denios that his ac tion was in any way fnsultivg ¢¢ iutended as @ provocation to the Amerjcan ship. Other Chiliap ofticers are siuilarly at s loss to understand why such & maneuver should have been deemed provocative of ill fosling. The Chilian ships Esmeralda, Huascar and Coclirane, and two torpedo boats bave sailed om % practice cruise. They will go first to Quinteros bay and then to Talcahuano. The ships are under manned.

Highly Colored Repo As T have cavled you, theso warlike reports are, in my opinion, sent out from this country by persons who seem auxious to bring about serious trouble between Chili and the United States, These dispatches are invariably col- ored highty und in many instances are sept with the connivanco 0f those who wish to profit on exchange.

Crawrornsvitie, Tod.; Jan. 20.—|Special ‘elogram to Tire Bei.]—There has been no little stir causea by developments subsequent 10 the death of Colouol Melville McKeo of Chicago, who was injured in the Monon wreck and who died suddonly Tuesday morn ing. Yosterday afternuon, prior to the arrival of the corouer, the road’s local suikeon an- nounced that' McKee had died of heart disease rather thau frou injuries recoived in the wreck aud prepared to hold a post niortem examinatior to verify his assertion, but when ho attempted to carry out his plan Mrs. MekKee intorposed and flatly refused to allow the oxumination. After a squabble the pro- joct was abandoned and Coroner Branaugh bewan bis inguest i an undertaker's shop. The inguest was not_completed and will not be until tomorrow. Tt broke up last night in o very unpleasant dispute. Dr. Etter, a local physician, who attended MciSee whien first burt and who visited him again the afternoon previous to his death, stated that the slow pulse of the patient was caused by the medicines which Dr. Ensminger had ad- winistered and further stated that be nad warned Meleo to bo wary of Bnsminger. Ho also told tho sume to Mrs. McKee, Dr. Ensminger, who ‘was prosent, in- duiged in sor.o stinging languago, to which Etter retorted. Tho coroner threatened to call the police, and the inquest was ad- journed. The reflection cast on Iinsminger has caused no little comment, as he is a physican of good repute. L AGAINST FRAN SOUS lar Phase of the Usbaine Cab Drivers Strike in Paris. | Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett. | Pas, Jan. 20.—[New York Herald Cable Spectal to, Tite Bree.|—Tho strike of the Urbalne cab drivers, which has been going ou since Junuary 1, has taken an odd turn. Eighteen hundred johus have stopped work in consequence of tie exactions of the con pauy, which requires them to tura in 23 francs every night for the hire of its cabs. The meu hope to bankrupt tho company, which bas a capital of 25.000,000 francs, and can hold out for two months loager. Meanwhile, hiowever, it is losing (00 francs a day by the strike. It seems impossible for the company to accept tho offer of the drivers to pay 15 fruncs o day for the cabs, as tho fivst cost of the vehicles and horses s frar Tho strikers are enavled to continuo their fight by meavs of subsidies received from the jebus in the employ of the rival comganie Hach of these drivers contributes 1 franc a day to the fund—an easy matter, as the earn- Ings of the nonurbaine meu are much in- creased by the strike. The Paris municipal bas voted a sum of 10,000 for the strikers, who have now 50,000 francs at their disposal. The fight may be a long one, though it 15 a case of sous against francs. The disturbance at yesterday's sitting in the Chamber has been followed by a duel be- tween tho deputies, M. Delpech aud M. Casteiln. M. Delpech was wounded. M. Laur il not challengo M. Constans nor will he prosecute the minister for as- saulting him. Pracucally the quarrel is ended. * The moral results ‘of the affair wiil be felt later on. It is generally felt that the incident will prove disastrous” to the reputa- tion not only of the minister but also of the Chamber.

You would not say that you had an Ireland man aigging in your garden. It is better to call John a Chinese. Don’t, please don’t, say that New York city is locat on Manhattan Island.
