Wasiiixotox, It. I'., January 2tl.—
[Rpeclal.]—Not so much probability of
war to-day as yesterday since the publl-
catlou In the morning's paper, of drill's
willingness to withdraw the offensive
Matts note and submit tire Ualtltnore
matter to arbitration by neutral nations,
or to the United Slate# auprrne court.
General belief ia that all danger of war
has passed. Some few doubt the au
thenticity of telegram, from Santiago,
published this morning; but It Is gener
ally agreed that If the government of
Chill has actually sent such a message to
our government, all possibility of war
ha* been avoided.
The belief Is that tlm president l.a.
rrcrlved something bearing on the rase.
In reply to representative, of the press,
the president would neither afllrin nor
deny that the message had been receiv
ed. There are four suppositions: first.
That ho cannot deny and does not
wish to nltirm. Second, That It
was agreed In cabinet tn-diay to
not make pnbllo disclosures. Third,
Thai he object, to making ann«unc«-
ments »n ....settled questions, fourth.
That there have been propositions ns
calved, hut they are not definitely un
derstood. Outside administration cir
cles It is generally thought that the
president ha. committed an egregious
blunder in hastening to thrust his mes
sage into congress before sulUclent time
had elapsed to receive a reply to the
ultimatum. More than over Ids message
is regarded as an electioneering docu
ment made for buncombe and the Irish
vote. If he hail waited afow hours there
would l.uve been no need of the message.
In the house, Urrokemidge of Ken
tucky ulTrrtd a resolution, asking tlm
prerident for all Information In hlspoo-
sessions, was spiritedly debuted and re-
furred to committee on foreign alfalra.

Wasiiixotox, l). C., January 27.—
(Npecisl ]—There will be no war. The
president's message la called In derision
"latat yeni’a almanac," and he le freely
criticized for his baste In sending the
message before there was time fot Chill's
reply to be received. The demoermts
ridicule him.
.Scnor Monlt received another illipstcb
fnun Chill. It is unequivocal In Its ea-
presaluns of regret, and cannot but bo
satisfactory to this government, nnd It I*
a complete apology. The apology Is
humble, and no civilized citizen could
refuse to accept It. Moreover th* dls-
|>a:ch received on Tuesday was much
more ample In Its terms of apology than
has been stated.
Representative Mount, chairman of
the ru.nmlttre on foreign alfalta, says,
the whole matter is settled. Nothing
hnt preliminaries remain to be
arranged. The apology made by
Chill is as complete as it could
possibly be. They apeak with inoat pro
found regret of the attack on the Balti
more's sailor*, and declare sincere feel
ings of friendship for the United Steles
and profound respect for our flag and our
uniform. As evidence of perfect good
faith they propoev, In connection with a
complete and humble apology, that the
matter of reparation be referred to the
United State* supreme court. There I*
no reserve; It Is a complete s|H.logy, and
settles the whole matter.
