Little or No Excitement Prevails In Offi
cial Circles The Great North-' .

Nsw Yokk, Oct. 29. It is generally
acknowledged by merchants interested
in the Chilian trade, that the present
situation is an exceedingly grave one.
The Evenitw Sn says : "But little bus
iness is transacted by shipping men,
and by those interested in the Chilian sit
uation, it was this morning the whole
topic of conversation and speculation as
to whatlihis country would do in the
event rf the war with Chili. ' The idst
of then are inclined to coff at the idea
of her .going in face of the United States,
but the feeling prevails widely that the
Chilians are ready to fight. Several
prominent down town business firms
whe have contin-ercial , relatkm with
Chili, were called mpon this Morning
Lwit9i a view of ascertaining their feeling
with respect to possible outbreak of
hostilities between the ; United States
and ChiU. : '"W feave received no ad
vices whatever frora our correqponpents
in Valparaiso in -regard to this affair,"
hetid - Charles ELiElint, "and -so long as
the matter as of diplomatic negotiations
!I-do not think ny -serious eoraaequences
need be appreftenaed." At tbe office of
(Srall &Co,, itas said,' the trouble
v would no doubt be settled in a few days.

Wakuixutox, Oct. 28. Senor Pedro
Montt has evidently received his cue
from the junta. The burden of one of
the complaints at the White house con
ference last Friday was that Mr. Montt
has avoided the state department since
the establishment of the provisional
government, .notwithstanding that the
United States was the first to recognize
the nw Chilian government. His neg
lect as the official representative of the
junta was the subject of much unfavor
able comment. ' He has now officially
notified Secretary Blaine that he has re
ceived notice of his appointment by the
' iunta as envov extraordinary and min
ister plenipotentiary from Chili to the
United States. Senor Romeror the
Mexican minister, accompanied by Senor
Montt, arrived at the state department
about noon today. Minister Romero
performed his part by formally intro
ducing the diplomat, and Senor Montt
did the rest. He iuformed Secretary
Blaine that the reason he had not pre
sented himself sooner was his absence.
from the city almost continuously since
the overthrow of .Balmaceda. He- also
informed the secretary that be had now
received notification of his appointment.
The official documents which are neces
sary to establish him in his office 3re
now on their way to Washington. Sec
retary Blaine received the Chilian with
all due courtesy, and any business that
requires the co-operation of the Chilian
representative will hereafter be trans
acted through Senor Montt. .The int
view was short and pleasant. '.A 8oott.v
as Minister Montt's credentials arrive he .
will be formally presented to the presi
dent by Secretary Blaine. If the feel- .
ings of the Chilian representatives in -this
city are any reflex of the sentiment ,
entertained by their countrymen against
the United States, then the outrage at
Valparaiso can be understood. While
diplomacy places the seal of secrecy npoiy
their official lips, in ordinarv conversa
tion the bitterest hatred and denuncia
tion of our government crops out. 1
visited the legation today to ascertain if
the visit of Senor Montt to the state . -
partment was indicative or. a morre- cor.,
