Santiaoo rK Cini.r, Jan. 30 A dis
putcli to the Associated Press late Thurs
day lnnt gave a very brief synopsis of
President Harrison's second message to
the American congress relative to Chili's
position In tlia dispute witli the United
States, taii'l in a short time tlie
news spread through the city mat
there wan no further danger of war, the
tenor ol the brief telegraphic reports
showing that tlie United States was wil
ling to cc:ept Chili's apology. Presi
dent Harrison's first message caused
great excitement here, where its warlike
utterences were thoroughly d intra used in
rafes and other places of public reaort,
lint the second ineaeage caused a revul
sion of feeling and the people generally
became much calmer, and expressions
of satinfaclion were heard that the dis
pute had been amicably settled through
diplomatic channels.
For the flmt time in four months the
Chilian press is publishing respectful
comments concerning F.gan, the United
Slates niin'iHter, and other American
officials, who heretofore have been
objects o? many vituperative attacks, and
it is thought the Chilian newspaers
henceforth will be more circumspect in
their utterances regarding Americans.
Congress adjourned today.
Washington, Jan. Ill What to do
with the naval vessels, now that the
Chilian excitement has died out, is the
question that is agitating (Secretary
Tracy's mind. It is not unlikely that
advantage will be taken of the presence
of the unusually large numbers in both
Pacific and South Atlantic slations to
carry out the long contemplated project
of dividing the I'aiiflc station into two
separate commands, one to be named the
North Pacific station, and the other the
South Pacific station. There is also a
sufficient nuinlier of vessels at San Fran
cisco and other North Pacific ports to

to be trouble within a fortnight or so

was caught by ftal current and carried

Washington, Jan. 2S It was openly
admitted at the navy department today,
now that there is no lonuer any reason
for concealment, that the government
was fujly piepitred to enfoice its de
mands against Chili, in case they
had not been seemed by uiore pacific
u.ellicoa of negotiation. through diloma-
Tlie entire avaiiaiae navy loree
had been concentrated so as to advance
on Chili ports. The Pacific squadron,
consisting of the San Francisco, Charles
ton, Baltimore, Boston, and forktown,
would have been speedily reinforced by
the South Atlantic squadron, now at
Montevideo, consisting of the Chicago.
Atlanta, Bennington, Egex, Philadel
phia, and Concord, of the North Atlantic j
squadron, the two last named vessels
now on their way to Montevideo. The
Concord arrived at Bahi today and the
Philadelphia is beyond the port on her
way to Montevideo. The Miantonomoh,
Newark, and Vesuvius were held in
reserve for possible service. At the
same time great stores of coal, ammuni
tion and provisions had been forwarded
on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
so tlie fleet should be amply supplied in
case foreign ports would be closed to
them. Arrangements were made for
immediate use of a number of transports
and auxiliary cruisers. Arrangements
were made to secure the delivery of 10,
000 tons of coal a monht at a point con
venient for the naval vessels. The
plans contemplated the early seizure of
some Chilian port for use as a base of
supplies.
These preparations entailed great ex
pense, roughly estimatedatabout$2,000
000. The foregoing estimate includes
coal, additional expense attending push
ing up work on vessels now under con
tract, and extra work at the different
yards and shops. The order of officers
and men to the Ohio has been revoked,
and the work of fitting her out is sus
pended. The department will now be
busy for a long time undoing many of
its preparations and restoring the naval
establishment to its usual basis.

Italy' Indemnity.
Rome, Jan. 31. It is reported that the
Italian government has sent to Wash
ington a list of the families that, accord
ing to the Italian claim, are entitled to
compensation for tho loss of relatives by
lynching at New Orleans, and that Sec
retary Blaine has promised the Italian
government to submit the matter to
congress with the expectation of favora
ble action. Most of the bereaved fami
lies are residents of Sicily, and it is stated
that several of them are left destitute,
who were in the habit of receiving funds
from their relatives who fell as victims
to the lynchers.
Mklf.sa, Mont.. Feb. 3 War on
horsethieves will soon be vigorously
begun in southeastern Montana and
northern Wyoming. Detectives have
been with the gang and lliey are now
located together with 100) head of stolen
stock. A posse of "Tlilr'y rtm-kmra
struck their trail a few days ngo and
news of an engagement may be exiected
at any time. But this is only the be
ginning of the war of exterm'natioD'
which will be waged ss relentlessly
against the horse-rustlers as it was
against the cattle thieves. To carry it
out, each roundup district will have a
separate organization, but all working
in harmony. A fund of $20,000 is being
raised, and with this the growers believe
they will be able to put a stop to horse
stealing in the state. Agents will be
kept at all the shipping points in Mon
tana, Idaho, and Wyoming and every
possible outlet guarded. Unless the
rnstlei8 soon dispose of the horses they
have coralled in Wyoming near the
Montana line, and scatter, a big force
will be upon them and the result will be
a pitched battle for which the stockmen
will be prepared. The rustlers are
strongly intrenched in the montains and
will fight to the last ditch.

A Discovery Which May Be of Great Value to
a Resident of Boise City,
Washington, Jan. 29. The demo
cratic majority of the ways and means
committee, by formal action this morn
ing, adopted Springer's policy, and de
cided to attack the McKinley tariff by
various separate bills. Upon this policy
the democratic members of the com
mittee decided to act as a unit. This
conclusion was -reached this morning by
the democratic members of the ways
and means committee after a conference
lasting several hours. The resolution
was carried by a vote of 7 to 3. Those
voting in favor of it were Montgomery,
Whiting, Slmyely, Cochrane, Stevens,
Byran, and Springer. The negative
votes were cast by McMillin, Turner and
Wilson.

Boisb City, Idaho, Feb. 2 Robert
Laing, a resident of Boise City, has
made a discovery which may be of great
value to the swge-brush districts of
Idaho, Utah, Nevada and other states.
Some time ago he became imbued wivh
the idea that sage-brush might be cuu
verted into coarser grades of paper. He se
cured a wagon-load of the supposedly use
less shrub and began to experiment. By
using a lime process and treating the
limbs of the brush to protracted boiling,
he secured a pulp that more than satis
fied Ii is expectations. It was equal to
the very best wood pulp, and the pres
ence of a long and strong fibre was
plainly demonstrated. Mr. Laing slates
that he can manufacture sage-brush pa
per at a small cost, and that he can make
a profit by selling it at 4 cents per
pound.
Fire at Eugene.
Eugene, Jan. 30. About 1 o'clock
this morning a journal on the dynamo in
the electric light station became heated,
when a man in charge removed the cap.
The boiling oil was thrown on the arma
ture and to the floor ablaze. In a second
the room was filled with flames The
fire department responded promptly, but
could not reach the station until the are
dynamo was completely destroyed, and
the smnller incandescent system nearly
so. The loss is 5000 ; insurance, if 2500.
The streets will probably be in darkn ss
for a month, till the plant can be refitted.
