2 [PROM YRSTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION NAY MEAY WAR THIS TIME, Ohili Requests Permission to Submit an Entirely New Proposition. HOW THE YORKTOWN RUMOR STARTED.

C., Telogram to Tie Brr. | make a proposition, It wants to put the whole controversy on a new basis. This i3 the news which comes from Minister EBgan 1n Santiago tonight and confirms his advices of last evening When the proposition is made it may be ntarproted by the United States as warlix or it mny bo accepted as a peace offering, but it at least asks tho opportunity to make it. Minister KEgan has been uotified that instructions will be sent tu M- ister Montt for changa of negot tions. Mr, Igan evidently thinks that timo should be given for a new proposi- tion to be formulated, so the president's message and the correspondence will not go to congress tomorrow. It may be Friday or Monday, but the Chilians will have the op- portunity for their lutest expression to be put before congress at the same timo. . What Chill Has to 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 wiil fully define its position ou all tho Poluts in controversy, declare how far it is ready to go in the direction of an apology for the Matta letter as wall as making reparation for the Baltimore outrage. If 1ts propositions are satisfactory to the Unitea States, and the belief 1s they will not be, then it will be either war or arbitration. But Chili has at loast wot, to the point where, in answer to Minister Iigan’s peremptory instructions, it declares itsolf ready to make a catogorical a sing the Situati 1t remaias to be seen whether the repre sentation made to the minister in Santiago will be carried out or whether the Montt government will at the last moment fail to come to time. The recent developments wore discussod this afternoon at the white house by Presidont Harrison and Secretarics Blame, Tracy and Elkins, Ex-Minister John W. Foster aiso had a previous intor- view with tue president on somo questions of diplomatic precedents bearing on the situ- ation. The couference botween tho president and his secretaries lasted till evening. Not Materially Changed. There seemed to be but little idea that the developments from Chili would cause any chauge in the attitude of the United States because tho reparation proposed, as outlined by the somewhat meager news from Minister Egan, did not meet the caso though it was of suflicient importance to justify tho president in taking a little more timo to write his mos sage. Practically the situation was declared to be not materially changed siuco the presi- dent discussed it in his annual message. It was therefore clear that everything bearing on the subject, would g0 o COngress as pror- ised, with something in the line of a recom mendation from the president, and with pos. sibly a hint that a resolution from the legi lative body might be desirable to show that the executive and legislative branches of the government were in accord in upholaing American rights. Not ndicative of Peace There was plainly little expectation on the part of the president and his advisors that congress could be informed that all ine questions in dispute were in process of sutis- factory sottlement and that the ordinary channels of diplomacy were still sufticient to meet the emergency. Peaceful Indications. While the cabinet as a body did not assem- ble for deliberation today tho jownt presence of Secretaries Blaine, Elkins and Tracy at the white house thisafternoon bore a strong resemblance to o meeting of tho cabinet. “Thoy remained in conference with the presi- dent for a long time, and General J. W. Fos ter was called in for consuitation. The di cussion related gonerally to the Chilian affair, bat the question under consideration was the character of the president's message 10 congress. Senor Montt, the Chulian minister, was at the State dopartment today ana Yad a short interview with Assistant Secretary Aaee, but, itis understood, he had nothing im- portant to communicate. Secrotary T'racy received a cable messago from Commander Evans today saying that the Yorktown, with the refugees on board, would sail from Valparaiso toright for Uallao, This is regarded at the Navy do- partment_as an indication that affairs are quiet in hili at present. Whilo Commander Iivans was giveu full discretion, it is taken for granted that ho would not leave Valpar- 130 if thero was any necessity for his pres once thore, excopt in pursuance of orders direct, from tho Navy department. At the meeting of the senate committee on foreign reiations today theve was no mention made of anything relating to Chilian afairs. NO TROUI APPREHENDED, Dispate Will Amicably Adjusted, LCopyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett. | Varpaiaiso, Chili (via Galveston, Tex.), Jan, 20.—[By Mexican Cablo to the New York Herald—Special to Tur Bek,|-—-The Horala can state positively that President Montt yestorday told an official high 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 within a short time. Itisa deliberate lie that was fired on. The faots that were selzed upon to cirou late the canard were as follows: The Chilian torpedo boats wero practicing In Valparaiso bay without torpedoes, only spurs being used One of the boats chanced to get near the Yorktown and when about thuty meters away slewed around. That was absolutely all the foundation there was to the report. Commander Evans, bappening to bo ashore shortly after this took place, talked a good deal about it to our officials here, and notably o Consul McCreery and Lieutenant Harlow 1 havo just had an interviow with the cap tain of the Chilian torpedo launch Sarjento Alde. He states thatall the torpedo boats in question were ordered to practice in the bay without torpedoes. His lnunch, while so cogaged, happened to pass the Yorktown, clreling. Ho indignantly denies that his ac ton was in any way insulting ¢ iutended as a provocation to the Amerfcan ship. Other Chillap officers are siuilarly at a loss to undorstand why such a maneuver should have been deemed provocative of ill feeling The CLilian ships Esmeralda, Huascar and Cochirane, and two torpedo boats bave sailed om u practice cruise. They will go first to Quinteros bay and then to Taleahuano. The ships are under manned.

Despite statements to the contrary, the people one and all bellove that the matters in dispute between the two eountries can be settled in nccordence with the terms and conditions suggested in the Herald It must be considerod that while tho Baitimore case has dragged slowly alcng the procedurs is only.in accord with the cus- toms of Spanish countries. In addition to this, the permanent government which re- placed the junta, now out. of existonce, has ly been establishod since January 1, 1502 Then again, Senor Matta's conduct in send ing his aggravatiog circulat has to be remem- [ as brineing about complications in the new cabinet, which even now Is not by y means working harmoniously. Before war can be declared with any show of justice, some antini demands must be maide by the United States, and I am given to understand theough Chilian official sources the kind has yot been n goyernment. hero that notbing of made by the Americ Highly Colored Reports. As T have cavlod you, theso warlike reports are, in my opinion, sent out from this country by persons who seem anxious to briug about serious trouble between Chili and the United States, These dispatches are invariably col- ored highty and in many instances are sent with the connivance Of those who wish to profit on exchange, As [ announced sho would, the Yorktown left Valparaiso harbor last evening for the north.

CROUBLE AT THE INQUES e Physi Quarrel Over a Vietim of the Monon Wreok, Crawrornsvitie, Tod.; Jan, 20.—|Special Telegram to Tie Bri|—Thero has beon 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 suddenly Tuesday morn ing. Yosterday afternuon, prior to the acrival of the corouer, the road’s local suigeon an- nounced that' McKee had dicd of heart disease rather than frou injuries recoived in the wreck aud prepared to bold a post mortem cxaminatiori to verify his assertion, but when ho attempted to carry out his plan Mrs. MeKee intorposed and flatly refused to allow the oxamination. After o squabble the pro- joot was abandoned and Coroner Branaugh began bis inguest in an undertaker's shop. The inquest was not_completed and will not be until tomorrow. Tt broke up last night in very unpleasaut dispute. Dr. Etter, a local physician, who attended MciCee when first burt and who visited im 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- ministered and further stated that be nad warned Mckee to bo wary of Ensminger. He also told tho same to Mrs. McKee. Dr. Knsminger, who 'was prosent, in- duiged in sor.o stinging languago, to which Etter retorted. Tho coroner threatened to call the polico, and the inquest was ad- journed. The reflection cast on Insmingor has caused no little comment, as he is a physican of good repute. SOUS Urbaine Cab Drivers' Strike in Paris. \Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.| Paws, Jan. 20.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to, Tite Bre.|—Tho strike of the Urbalne cab drivors, which has been going ousince Junuary 1, has taken an odd turn. Bighteen hundred johus have stopoed work in consequence of tie exactions of the com- pany, which requires them to tura in 23 francs every night for the hire of its cabs. The meu lppe to bankrupt tho compnny, which bas a_capital of 25.000,000 francs, and can hold out for two months longer, Meanwhile, tiowever, it is losing 2,000 francs a day by tho strike. It seems 1mpossible for the company to accept the offer of the drivers o pay 15 francs o _day for the cabs, as tho first cost of the vehicles and horses is 17 fraces, The strikers are enndled to continuo their fight by means of subsidies received from the jebus in the employ of the rival comganies. iuch of these drivers contributes 1 franc a day to the fund—an essy matter, as the earn- Ings of the wuonurbaine men are much in- creased by the strike. The Paris municipal has voted @& sum of 10,000 for the strikers, who have now 80,000 francs at their disposal, The fight may bo a long one, though it1s a case of sous aganst francs. The disturbance at yesterday’s sitting in the Chambver has been followed by a duel be- tweon tho deputies, M. Delpech and M. Casteiin, M. Delpech was wounded. M. Laur will not challengo M. Constans nor will he prosecute tuo minister for ns saultiog him. Practically the quarrel is ended. The moral results of the affan wiil bo folt later on. It is generally felt that the incident witl prove disastrous to the reputa- tion not only of the minister but also of the Chamber. JACQUES ST, CERE.

The office of the agentof the Litchfields, who hold the logal title to the lands, is besicged daily by settlers anxious to buy.

Mr. Wanamaker’s office is a large, light, pleasant room, which any one ap- purently may enter and tell his business to the postmaster general, who hears it all, gives his answer bricfly and frankl though courteously. “Everybody thinks the postoftice,” says Mr. “T have plenty of suggestions: many of them ure unavailuble, but now and then 1 get a good one, and such are worth waiting for.” He is i his office by 8 o’clock, an hour before the clerks appear.

After Smythe tired of hobnobbing with dark voyalty ho found o passage to the Sa- islands, wheve ti monotony of typesotting was relioved by the internu- tional row then in full swing, New Zea land was the next stopping place, and from there it wius a short jump to Aus- tralin. Smythe stopped for eighteen months in the five colonies and followe his trade in Sydney, Melbourne, Ade laide and smaller towns, Wayfarers from the United State ived with open arms _in the i tinent. Even the privil franchise in colonial elections is ex- tended to them without the intervention of naturalization red tape.

After Australia came India, known to fame in this year as the home of Rud yard Kipling, who pushed a reporter’s pencil on one of the Knglish papers and whose copy Smythe put in type Several Bnglish newspapers gave a place to the Kansas piigrim, but Smythe found the Britons too cold blooded und haughty to thaw into geniality even under tropical suns, and so ho packed the white linen which constitutes an oriental wardrobe and decamped from Madras into Ceylon. That spicy island paid due homage to Yankee enterprise, and offered a foremanship in its govern- ment printing establishment, entailing a monthly revenue of a high sounding number of rupees which would come to about eighty American dollars, Along with this was a houso and two native ants. But young Smythe was b ning to reach out in his mind for civilization again, so he booked him- self on an English steamer for Gibraltar and vo; d up through the Suez eanal, which he described as a big diteh liko any artificial waterway, only wider and dirtier than the genoral run. After a few months in Palestine and Arabin he again set sail. At the other end of the Mediterranean the Rock of Gibraltar offered attractions too great 1o be passed, so he stopped over to in- spect the earvison and tako a run into Spain, A sailing vessel picked him up nd dropped anchor finally up the Thames at London. After a few months in the oftices of the provincial papers Smythe cmbarked on his final voyage with New York in view. On 1wo or three metropolitan papers he handled the types, and then came to his present stopping place in the eapital, which suits him so well that he enter- tains no ambition for futuve travel.
