All that It Can to Make Minister Egan's Position Unbearable. A CABINET CONFERENCE TODAY. Serious Complications Have Arisen and More War Ships Will bs Sent to Chilean Waters at Ones, Washington, Sept. 28. For two hours this morning the president was in consultation with the representatives of the slate and navy departments. While no ollioial information upon the subject can be obtained, there is reason to believe the administration is con-fronted with a serious aspect of affairs in Chile. Since last Friday cablegrams in ci-pher have been passing between Wash-ington and Valparaiso, but the ollicials refuse to make their contents pubiio. It is gathered, however, that they re-late to affairs in Chile, and that seri-ous complications have arisen between the junta and the United States repre-sentatives in that countrv. At, present the United States naval force in Chile consists of one vessel, the Baltimore. The San Francisco touched at Callao. Pern, last week on her way northward. An effort was made by the navy department to com-municate with her but she sailed for Acapuleo. Mex..on Friday before the ca-blegram reachtr her. There are no other modern vessels despatched to Chile. It is assumed that Commodore Ram-sey, chief of the navigation bureau who was called into the consultatiou with the cabinet officials was asked to explain the exact extent of the resour-ces of the navy department. Senor Montt. the Chilean congress-ional envoy here has received a dis-patch from Senor Malta, minister of foreign atlairs, stating that peace was not disturbed by the revolt of the mili-tary. Secretary Tracy while declining to make any statement relative to the conference at the While house this morning said he did not intend to send any more ships to Chile and that he did not regard the situation there as threatening.

News of serious import to the United States government and Americans generally, reaches here from Santiago. It is to the effect that the leaders of the junta, for what reason does not yet clearly appear, have, for the last few days, adopted a course which has had the re-sult of harassing Minister gan. It may be an expression of sentiment growing out of the Itata seizure, whieh never has been rightly understood by the congressionalists, but has aroused a strong feeling of antipathy to the United States, or it may be the deter-mination to make it so unpleasant for Mr. F'gan, on account of the stories spread about his sympathy with Raima-ced- a as to drive the minister out of Chile. These are only surmises. The fact is, the junta has been endeavoring to in-duce Mr. Egan to give up all those who have sought refuge in tho United States legation. The junta has gone even further than this. It has put forth the claim that it has a right to arrest any one, uo matter of what nationality, who may be found on the street or any- where else, outside the four walls of the legation. In keeping with this claim, a number of foreigners have already been placed under arrest; among them are three Amoricaus, who were engaged in busi-ness here. The matter went 60 far that every person having occasion to visit the legation was ordered to obtain a permit from the intcniknU; before he was allowed to go into the place. To enforce this rule forces of police were put on guard outside the legation and patrolled the blocs day and night until Friday last, when Minister Egan entered a most vigorous protest to the whole proceedings. His manner was so earnest that tha police were with-drawn. It is said that he has referred the entire matter to the authorities at Washington. The Sheriff In Farenlt. Tisama, Cel., Sept.28.
