Santiago, Jan. 25. The ultimatum of the United States government has just b .en made public here. The terms are: Immediate withdrawal of Matta's note. Indemnity and apology. Failing in tiiis Minister Egan is to lie re plied at once and diplomatic relations -evercd. Valparaiso, Jan. 25. The correspondent of the United Press is informed that Minis ter Kennedy, representing Great Britain at Santiago, has received definite instructions from his government to make an offer to the government of Chili to act as mediator between that country and the United Stites for the purpose of preventing a war. The Chilian foreign minister, SenorPereira, has iufornied Minister Egati that the mes sage from the United States government, received on Saturday, and which is re carded as an ultimatum, will be answered on Monday. Washington, Jan. as. Notwithstanding the generally peaceful character of t be day there was any amount of talk yesterday over the prospects of trouble with Chili in view if the despatch of an ultimatum by this government to the South American republic. All the departments were close!, and of course there was no official or public manifestations as to the matter. Inquiries nt the departments were answered, in most case.., by the mesengr r and watchmen on duty, and there was no indication on the surface of the excite ment that existed in official circles. At the navy department two or three officials were found, but they united in saying t hat nothing had leen received from A'alpa raiso. One of the officials said the stories that Admiral Ghtrardi had sailed away to the east in the Philadelphia to meet and engage the Captain IVat as tne latter sailed away from Toulon in an incomplete com! ion with an inexperienced crew, was a fail, if ul creation, but lie would not say wher the Admiral had gone, if he 'km"'". The AIIk1 "I lliiiiatnin." No information was to be had at the state department, none of the otlieials through whom communications reach the public having visited the building during the day. The terms of the ultimatum to Chili have not been correctly given in any of the dispatches referring to it. Three subjects are covered by t he document. The assault upon the Baltimore's sailors is the first. The secretary of state directs Egan to inform the Chilian government that after a full and careful examination of evidence of that i.fi'air as submitted by the Chilian irovertmunt ami shown in the ex amination of the Halt iniore's sailors, the president feels compelled to stand by the terms of Assistant Secretary Wharton's instruct ions to Minister Egan, triven Oct. iid, r.nd to insist upon an apology and reparation therefor. Matta's Note anil Ksau'i Recall. - T'te second subject is the Matia circular note of December 1:1. This note, the Cbil iau government is informed, is offensive to t''e president and other olUriais of the Uni-ed State;-, and that unless it is promptly withdrawn ami the language disavowed by the Chilian government in equally public and general form as that in whe-h it wtis circulated. Minister Egati v. id ask for passports and diplomatic re latioiisbetv.---.-ii the countries will cease. Th! thiru .-tt.-ject is the proposed recall of Minister Egan. Acknowledgement is made of receipt of Minister Moutt's note stating that Egan is not M-rsona grata to the government of Chili, and announc ing the readiness and desire o that gov ernment to receive another representative of the United States at Santiago. .A Question of i-racity. Upon this subject the government of Chili is informed that the note cannot now lie considered. There are ot her and weight ier matters H-n'ing set tlement, and when they are satisfactorily disposed of this gov ernment will then consider the request for the recall of Kgan. The United States minister was, of course, notified of the re ceipt of the note from Senor Montt, and it is said that a message has leeu received from hiiu stating that the members of the Chilian government authorized to speak upon such matters have verbally assured him that they were satisfied with him, and that similar statements were made to the ministers from other countries. This dis patch raises a question of veracity between Kgan and Senor Montt. y-wbo.ly Willing to Talk. A visit to Secretary Blaine's residence last night for Chilian news was without result, the secretary declining to talk Minister Montt was none the less reserved, lie declined to answer any inquiries con cerning Chilian affairs, and said he had no news to give out. An incident that goes to show that Minister Montt regards the situation as very grave occurred a few evenings ago at the house of a cabinet of ficer, when the minister, iu speaking of the Chilian question, became so painfully exc-ited that the subject had to be dropped. t AN EX-SENATOR'S REMARKS. John R. Hrndrnou, of Missouri, Comes to ( hill's Defense. Ex-Senator ' John B. Henderson, of Mis souri,, does not think our government is wholly in the right in the Chilian contro versy. In discussing the situation yester day, particularly with reference to the right of asylum for refugees, he finds two sides to it. The refugees harbored by Egan, Le 6ays, are citizens of Chili, who, being guilty of crimes under Chilian law, sought tefnge at the house of the United States mianrct la order to escape the Dunipnmes uue to those crimes, "i nese men nave not only been sheltered and protected at the house and at the legation of our minister resident at Santiago for several months, against the protest of the existing govern ment, but they are finally removed and peaceably transported by lund from Santi ago to Valparaiso, and there placed on a war vessel of the United States, to be afely transported by the authority of our government beyond the jurisdiction of the country whose laws they have violated. 'Tut Yourself In Ills Place." "Suppose that during the late civil war in this country the English or the French minister at Washington had given shelter and protection to Jefferson Davis, to Jacob Thompson, General Early or General Beauregard, how long would the house or person of that minister been respected? To submit the question is to evoke the answer." Mr. Henderson then quoted from Secretary Fish in 1ST5, and from Webster, Seward, Marcy and Bayard, all repudiating the doctrine and practice of asylum, and then said: Ve have no right to interfere with the civil policy of otiier nations, and to make the houses of our representatives abroad a harbor for offenders against their laws is an insult to thein far greater than the action of un authorized mobs can possibly be to us. Italy Is Still a-Waiting. "One year ago, when Italy demanded im mediate apology for the killing of her citi zens by the New Orlean mob our secretary said that he would not lie hurried or bul lied into an apology until the facts were known. That deed is yet without apology, without indemity and without pledges for the future. In seeming fear that the re sult of judicial trials in authorized courts will be disappointing to our pride we rush ta a mock trial at Vallcjo, where there is no test of the truth, no cross-examination, no sanctions of an oath, no rules of prac tice, no public fear or danger of the penal ties of perjury." An Odiflna Reflection. -If we had to go to war with every nation the blood of whose citizens stains our soil from mob violence, no full years of peace would bless our land. Chili re pmi;ates all governmental responsibility for the mob of last October. She claims that it, was the sudden and unlicensed out break of drunken men on both sides, ishe proposes to establish this fact unir the due administration of her law . and asks for time to furnish the evidence. Shall u:ir pride forbid us to wail As to the Ke.-ati of )'.gan. As to the right of Chiii to ak for Min ister Egan's recall, and that such request v onid endanger peaceful relations lietweeti the two countries, (ienerai Henderson said: Is it possible that we have reached such a position of haughty arrogance that we shall insist upon imposing our choice of ministers upon foreign nations? This is a right which we have exercised from the foundation of the government. General Washington, while president, demanded of i-'rance the recall of Edtuuwl trenesu We have since dcmaii.bi. ,t'te ?vcnit of a inii.l -.er fix ;. Sjwlu. and wry ri -i niiy one from KiiLiiaTni." 4 orreet Iitu ttie F-sn;tor. There is one point in the aJjove ia which tlie e-senator speaks without the record. As soon a 1 he news of t lie mob violence at New Orleans was reccivi-d the president ca'oled to Italy a telegram of most earnest regret and horror at the occurrence. It was full enough in those respects to lie considered a frank apology. So far Chili has expressed no regret ofTiei.-. !;.-. It is said that the Chilian government is in trouble with il s. own peopie., who arc op posed to any hack-iio'.vii ;;i the matter.

As to the recall cf Euan this government h.s a right to know The reus ,ns which render him u:ia --i.-p' to tin- govi rn uieut of tli.it eo : ni iy, i.iel if it v. ere the purpose to recall him they could probably be asked. But if Chili wants to have him leave the country she will i:ae to do as this cour.iry did with Enrd Snckville M esi, ; ip.ai send l.ini his p.is- .oils, or, if this government should he s..:islied that Chili was desirous ,f getting rid of Mr. Egan simply because he is the representa tive of the United States. Egau might be instructed to demand his passports and then leave. Eurd Salisbury, as he had a right, declined to recall Sa-kvilU-West when asked by the United States to do so. STATUS CF OUR MILITIA. It aiiV.it lie ( alinl On tr;o Abroad Illinois Volunteer. I low the United States will increase its fighting stn-nvrth in case of war with Chili is a mooted question here. The president can call out the entire National guard to repel invasion, am! he may do almost the same thing to suppress invasion in any one of the states, the only one exception beiiur the militia of the disturbed state. But when the service to lie rendered is in other lands t hen it would te necessary to call for volunteers, and of course all such from the ranVs of the National guard would receive preference. Iu. that case they would have to leave the National guard and enlist in the regular army. Value of the National Guard. A prominent, officer of the National guard of the District says: "Sould there le war with Chili or any other power, the value of the National guard would at once lie apparent. In round numbers, there are 110,000 men. and at least 30 per cent, of these would volunteer for services abroad. This would mean that an expeditionary force would lie comjiosed largely of men who have received suflicient training to admit of their being put in the field at once." Volunteers are showing up al ready. A letter is printed from Colonel Wm. Clendenin. of the Sixth Illinois, to Captain E. I. I'aubel. of Company 8., same regiment ,and the subject. The colonel asks t he captain bow many men of his company would respoudif called upon. The captain rep! ivs t hat, the w hole com pany is ready, and that- it can be increased from thirty eight to I'M men in forty-eight hours. Eaubcl's company is at i'reeport. Indiana' Rig Claim.
