The Mornim Call prints an Interview with the Chillun consul-general ut this port, N. Guerrero, relative to the telegraphic dispatch from Vulpuruiso, which stated that the Chilian warship Impenale would Boon leave Valparaiso for H&n Francisco with the exhibit for the world's fair. Mr. Guerrero said he did not believe there wns a word of truth in the state ment. In the first place there was no warship of that name Bailing under the Chilian flag. The South American Rteamsbtp Co. has a steamer hy that name, and this was probably the ves sel referred to in the dispatch. Mr. Guerrero said he thought that It would be a long time liefore any port In the United States would see a Chilian war ship. "They have not forgotten," he continued, "either the Iluta or the Baltimore Incident. They have not forgotten how the Charleston steamed down there. Why cnuld not a letter , have been sent by the president of the U. 8. to the Chilian authorities asking that the Itata return? They would have Bent her back, and there would have been ho exliihition of the attempt to humiliate the Chilian republic" "There will be no exhibit from Chill at Chicago. That was settled some time ago. My government has de clined to take any part in the world's fair. The correspondent at Valparaiso is unrenanie. I nave received advice there will be no exhibit of Chilian products at the world's fair." t - " EXBCUTOK8' BALE.
