That tin; United Statu:) is on the
vorgo of ii war with our h'onth
American neighbor is plain tu ho
seen. Lust summer wliilo tho
crow of thu U. S. cruiser I'.iititnoro
was nshoro at Valparaiso a mob of
Chilian jiolieu attacked tliu sailors,
and somu wuro killed and other
wounded, roiiic dying afterwards, j
Our government called iiM)ii thu
Chilian government for indemnity
nud nn ajKdogy. Shu treated tho j
duumtid with contempt, ami an tin- ,
interrupted corroonlonca has !
bcon going on between tho two na- j
tioiiH. It is given out by members
of thu cabinet that this corrosKnd-
unco will show that the olfonso of
thu Chilians was of miiuIi a serious !
character that this government ban
uxureisod extraordinary patience in
consenting to permit so much time
to elapse without thu prompt and
fidl reparation which was demand.
ed. t n less the Chilian govern -
incut oiroi-s assurances in unmu-
.... , . ....
tiikublo terms of its willingness to
make full reparation, and nucoiujm-
nioa this nssnianeo by expression
of roirut Biillicient to sntisfv the
01 icgrui BiiiiiLiuni 10 saui t it
llOlior or thu I. lilted .State, the
meaning of this is war. War can
now Im iivoided nnlv bv thu fail-
K . .
tiro oi congreffl to declare it or
by action on the part of thu
Chilian government, which shall
iiiako war nueuscury. The jircsi
dent and his ndvioers have hettled
down to the cot victiou that Chili
will not olTer hiich terms of settle
ment as thu Cuited States eau ac
cept, it is now evident to thu
most skeptical that thu country is
Uton tho verge of a war, and that
in a region that si. months ago
Hhowed no sign. Probably a peo
plu i;vur npjiroaehcd a war appar
ently inevitable uilli o little
tlourish of trumpets, but the
Aiiieiienn people uro ready to up
hold thu honor of their (lag in for
fign KrtM, and to avenge thu un
warranted insult and death of their
Miilor lads.
There is uneasiness felt about
y ... i.'. r.M ii, ....,,... I ...i
" '"". """V "'; M" " !
ineiit has iin(iiestionabh) news that ,
at least two Chilian commander !
mean to make a dash for that city
the instant war is declared and lay
im indemnity on thn city or lay it
in ashes. N'aval olllcers are feel
ing very serious. They have no
doubt of the fighting iiial!tiei of
thu Chilian navy nor of their entur
prise, and ail say if it does come
to blows it will be a very bitterly
fought out war. Contlduntial orders
woru issued to the general superin
tendent of recruiting at Now York
to accent every available man lit
for artillery or infantry. Kccruits
aiu coming forward in unusual num
bers just now, and you need not be
surprised if next wok's Nhws tells
vou that war is surulv on.
