There was oppositisu to tliis note in behalf of the conservatives, but the liberals, under the lead of e.ilwardo Matta formed a majority, and 1'ereira's note was endorsed. Papers which are favorable to Balmaceda published the ultimatum sent by the United States with the wildest kind of comment. Thcv do so in order to arouse public feeling. Hritish Minister Kennedy tendered his good oftices to .Minister 1'eriera on behalf of the British government. It is thought here that there is a poss ihility that lhe government of the United States will not regard the terms of the roply as satisfactory. 'Nloi.K, .Ian. 37. A sensational rumor im -f'Jl "ii the stock exchange this nfter-M nfter-M that Egan has been killed. When tho M (! was brought to tho attention of tho department officials at Washington by I ieociateil press, they laughed and p roll ro-ll Ced the rumor absurd. 1 Proton', Jan. 37. This government Salved a long message from Minister conveying the otter on the part of the B government for a settlement of all difficulties with the United States, message confirms in every particular foments made in the dispatch received fljh Santiago, which wa3 in effect that qKj.iv;re i to withdraw the offensive ' mRciit in : tta, to withdraw tho request foBB : Kipm and submit tho Baltl- mB'ii:iii ;ie arbitration of some neutral n.Bjp or t i the (ich-iuii of tho United StlW supreme i ourt. jtri stales these propositions at greater lemh t'ein hie press dispatches, but the ctJkaddiiinu cannot, now bo ascertained. 1 Hp is ren u for the belief, however, tliBtlie 1 'li.irsn government not only offers toBphdi ., w the otfeuslvo note, but, in acMti'Jn, ml rs to apologize for it.

Without With-out Reaching' a decision the meeting ad-jourjned. ad-jourjned. T'ie president will doubtless communicate Egak's d:patch to congress, but will probable prob-able not do so for several days, unless it is calbiil for by tho house or senate. ffcere arc no new facts developed today in rsjfard to the. Chilean affair. The members oi tli ! cabinet preserve perfect silence on tb4 subject of Chile's concessions and will not admit or deny anything. jg$retary Tracy is confined to his home to'tay with a slight attack of rheumatism. Csytfin Schley, commander of the Balti-turOj Balti-turOj said this morning that it would be im-pjwpqr im-pjwpqr for him to make any statements wnttfrer iu regard to what wan said during tift bnferoneo with the president and tho sfSretary of the navy. Lieutenant MeCrea 'jBtap Baltimore is also iu the city. No "nvrcnu-nts. of naval vessels are announced ftejresentative Blount, chairman of the hpsicominittce on foreign affairs, called at ,tvt department of state and had a chat with i8f."s.:, TOoine o,i tin: ques' on. of submit- tih to congress the' reply' OT me Chilean gofce.-vonent t0 jo so-called ultimatum of the. T'nited States. The additional corres-ponblence corres-ponblence will probably bo sent to congress In af few days. Ii is evident from the talk with senators than think the difficulty has passed the acute single for tho present at least if not perma-nenaly perma-nenaly and there is uo necessity for doing anyt hing in advance of executive consideration considera-tion of Chile's reply. From what can be lean red there is no disprsition In congress to pre- i Chilo in the matter and the hope is expr r-ssed that the' official note will disclose cone .'ssions on part of Chile equivalent to thosi ! which have been attributed to it by the i iscription of its purpose by tho Associated Associ-ated Press. II s evident that if tho administration be sati-. iicd that sufficient concession has been mad. i by Chile to satisfy tho honor audi ligntty of the United States congress will ,villingly acquiesce in that view. Tli b first cablegram message received by the p resident from minister Egan was not in all re spects satisfactory. It was lacking in fullii ess and there are many things in it re-quiri re-quiri ng additional elucidation. Another and later dispatch has now been received and its couti &ts are such as to leave nothing for cone' rcss to do in regard to the president's mcsil age. It not only confirms all that was said An the associated press dispatches but is co'lgched in tho most friendly terms. The etl'ecj t that the dispatch recoivod say the chart p that the Chileans entertain feeling of out mity towards tho United States and to its llj ig and uniform arc utterly false. The dispt- nch then says in order to show the frien, flly feeling entertained by the Chileans for tL to l'uited States aud as an evidence of their desire to do all possible they will will-inglj' will-inglj' I- l 'ave the affair to the United States suptv ':me court. ,,1 Tho Chilean Cabinet Excited.

The." fact that, in his opinion, tho United State i was a great nation, honorable aud just if i its dealings, was emphasized.
