"Did you have any cut or scratchos on your finger?" "Not that I remombor. I oh. yes. Now I know. I scratched myself on the tip of the finger tho day before. But that was a mere trifle."

War with Chill seems moro certain to-nlnht than at any tlmo slnco tho controversy arose hotvveon the two coun tries ovor tho flrlne upon tho sailors of tho Baltimore in tho streots ot Valparaiso last fall. The air is full of war and rumors ot war. and thoro Is a deep conv Ictlon In tho minds of publlo mon in WashlnKton that If an apology is not soon forthcoming from Chill a declaration of war will not ho lone postponed. Iheio has hoen a decided chance of opinion within tho last torty-elRht hours on tho part of those who have heretofore scouted tho Idea ot serious troublo between tho United Mates and tho South American republic, and tho publlo man is nn exception now who thinks that Chill will apologlzo or that the United States will not whip her If she does not. Tub Sun's roport ot tlio excitlnc situation attractod wido attention in Washington to-day. nnd Its ed itorial comments were a sourco of (treat satis faction to Hojrotary Tracy and other ofllctals. Secretary Tracy warmly commended tho cood senso and cood tasto ot the editorial. The meeting ot tho Cabinet this morning was nn important event ot the day. It was not only Important, but It was dramatic. The Fresldont submitted to the inspection of his advisers tho rough draft ot the mossasoho has prepared toaccompany tho Chilian correspond ence to tho two Houses of Congress, nnd asked tholr advice about It, Boforo the Trcsldont did this, however, nnd while somoof the preliminary corrcspondonco was holns read by Hecrotary lilaino. the Secre tary. Is is said, was attacked with vertigo and nausea and almost fainted In the arms ot Becrotary Klklns. Tho members of tho Cab inct. allot whom were present except Secre tary Foster, who is sick at Fortress Monroo, weio thrown into n Btato ot consider able excitement, hut regained their com posure nftor a window hnd boon opened and Mr. Blaino hnd been revived by a draught of cold air. Tho Secretary iinmo ll iti'ly left the Cabinet room, accompanied by Secrotary Klklns. and wont to his home nftor stopping on the way to consult his physician, who, unfortunately, was not at home. The Secretary of War retui ned to the Whlto House and remained until alter the conference had adjourned. After this llttlo flurry the consideration of tho Chilian question was resumed, the par ticular point of discussion being tho recent pretended withdrawal of tho offensive noto of befior JIatta. the head ot the pro visional Government of Chill. After the Cabinet meeting Secrotnry Klkins said to tho Sun reporter that nothing had occurred that put a new face on the situation. He was in clined to think thnt the United States was in for war. ns there seemed to bo no way of avoiding it Mr. Klkins snid further that the dotails of the Chilian controversy were in tho hands of the President nnd the Secietarios of State and the Navy, and that the other members ot the Cabinet wore' mere lookers on In Vienna, although theyweroin full accord with tho fool ing that the honor of the United States must bo upheld at any cost. Tho Secretary of the Nuvy finds himself to night with every ptospcet of a naval war on hand, and nil tho details of his campaign aro mappod out. Tho excellent condition of tho hen ice is due to the hard work that every one connected with tho depart ment has been calh'il on to do. All of the bureau chiefs have bi en nt tholr desks early nnd late nnd nluavsou hand to confer with the becretary.

The fonr of just such action lias caused several foiolgn firms doinc business In Chill to urge their reprcsentatlv es to adv Iso iigaln t hostili ties. The hlnckndo will lie ono ot tho most elTcotive features of tho attack. Orders have also boen glvon to have the ar mor for the monitors hurried and a steady supply kept up. The armor question has al ways given the department tome trouble, hut thpro is every Indication that it will not delay the provision of a thoroughly cquliped flcot.

A man who gives his address as New Hnvon. Conn, has written tho department regularly every day long lettors regarding a campaign ngiliist Chili. In tho pone'lllod communica tion which was received to-day ho uigedthu sending of ono cruiser for every vessel nt tho disposal nf tho enomy. nnd to follow the line up w 1th 150 trauspoi ts hnv lug on bout d -OO.U(K) men to occupy the country. Another man In Illinois suggests the selection of two cham pions, one from each country, and letting them fight it out In mortal combat. He oilers his services to his country for this Bclf-sacri-llclal purpose and only stipulates that thu duelling ground shnll be In this country. Another suggestion which has como Is tho dropping of till sorts of horrlblo compounds down upon tho heads of tho enemy from aerial vessels of war. As a matter of fact, this suggestion In pait hids fair to be carried out, for the department has ai ranged for a balloon service, if tho war lasts any length of time. The purpose nf the balloons will lm lather to make observations than to accomplish unysuch thingsasthe correspondent pro posos. Tho depiiitmeiit has been informed that thero nro Knglish and Gorman Influences ut work on thoOovornnient nt Santiago looking ton peaceful settlement of tho difficulty. So far thooveturos bavu had no effect upon tho Chilians, and from all accounts they are deter mined to resort to nurruther than give In. Tho officials here look for some sort of a dilatory communication ut tho last moment, and, in fact, it is said that even now tho Chilian Minis ter has advanced vorbnl assurances that his Government will npologl?e. He lias been do ing nil ho can to induce tho authorities at Santiago to do the proper thing, nnd In -this endeavor ho has been assisted by Mr. Blaino and tho British Minister. But atno tlmo slnco despatches have been coming from Valparaiso has thoro beon 11 singlo conciliatory feature of the situation. Com modoro Itnmsey. through whoso hands go nil the despatches from that part of the world, told TnE Sun roportor to-day that for tho last two days the aspect of tho caso had been warlike. A great deal of aependonco may be put In tlio remark of this officer, for he is too conservative to allow bis wishes in tho matter to run away w lth his honest opinion. " It Is oasy to understand." snld another official, "why English und German Influences are at work on the Chilian authorities to nvort war. The natural sequence of the declaration of war is the blockading of Chilian ports nnd interference with tho commercial intorosts of thoso countrios in Chill. Thoy will do nil thoy can to prevent anything which means loss of monoy nnd the Interrup tion of business, and If tho Chilians swing round nnd recognize the claims of the United States, it will be because outside influences have operated to tho result, and not hecatibo tho Chilians realizo tho justlco of the do mnndsof this Government, or are ohediontto the manifestations ot force in which this country has indulged." To-night tho men who have been arranging for war are all at tho Executivo Mansion, with the exception ot Mr. Blaine, as guests at tho lit st state dinner ot tho season. The President's message will not be sent to Congress to-morrow, ns was predicted, but will bo deforred for sevoral days, probably un til next vvoek. Asono member of the Cabinet expressed It to-night, the case against Chill is not jet legally complete, owing to th delay in tho receipt of certain reports from Col. Homey. Commodore Schley, nnd others, Tho message will contain about l'JS.OOO words. The report that the Chilian Government had dispatched threo mon-of-vvur to Intercept Admiral Walker's squadron, should it sail for Valparaiso by way of tho Straits of Magellan, scorns to have had Its foundation in the fact that tho Chilian man-of-wnr Esmor nlda has gono down tlm coast of Chili to ronder assistance to the Paclfio mall steamer John Elder, which has been wrecked ofT that coast. This Information waseontalned in a despatch received attlm Navy Hepnitmuiit to-day from Commander Evans. Ho did not refer to any contemplated Interruption to Admiral Walker's fleet In its voyngo to Valparaiso. Tho Secretary of tlio Navy rocclvod a des patch from Toulon, France, stating that tho Chilian battleship Capltun l'rnt. which Is building nt that port, and now nearly com pleted, will not bo ready for service before This 'information will undoubtedly relievo the minds of many people, ns the Prat Ib re garded In some elrcles hb about tho most for midable man-of-mir ever built und uble to cope with the bebt lighting vessel ot any of tho great powers.

The roport Is persist ently circulated to-night thnt Mr. Blaine's sud den departure from the Cubluct meeting to day nnd his failure to nttend the State dinner to-night Is tho rosult of n direct conflict ot opinion between tho President and the Secretary of State growing out ot the Chilian situation. The fact Is notod that Mr. Blaine did not send his regrots to tho Whlto Houso until tho hour set for the dinner had arrived, tnfucoof the fact that he assured hid friends thnt ho was not III. A United States Bonator expressed tho opinion this evening that from his personal knnweldgo of tho very delicate and critical situation of 11 Hairs nnd from tlio fact that Mr. Ill.ilnu has nil along been In favor of a pence pollcv.ho is In'llned to bclicvo thnt thero Is a srilous misunderstanding between tho Presi dent and his Secretary of Stnto. The fact that Mr. Blaino telephoned for his friend Senator Hale Immediately after leaving the White Houso and has been all the evening In consultation with other friends lends color to the report of a disagreement Many friends nnd advls eis of the President and Mr. Blnlne niliiilt that they fear tho long existing III feel ing betve'on llinso two conspicuous Hepub licnnshusat Inst brought them to the joint ot an opin rupture. The truth cannot bo learned to-night, but It Ic freely predicted bv several prominent Ho publicans that thero will soon bo sensational developments In the persoral quurrel. Mr. Blaino had been only the minutes at the Cabinet meeting when. It is said, he was seized with vertigo and complained also of nausea. According to the accounts given by other members ot tho C.iblnot. ho loaned ngainst Secretary Klklns nnd a col league hastily opened a window, The fresh air revived him, and he expressed a desire to remain. Ills colleagues Insisted, however, that ho should go home, und ho con sented.

Early In tho "bbbbbbI day It was stated on the authority ot a mem- fpV hor of tho Cabinet that in tho night a messago " lpV had beon received from Minister Montt saying ppj that ho hnd been instructed by his Govern- rtH ment to assure tho United States that an apol- VRfl ogy would boat onco forthcoming.

No ono could pH be found to father this statement which -aBBBni was follow od by tho sensational story that the pfeV Yorktown ut Valparaiso had been blown up by "bbbbbb! tho Chilians. On tho heels of this came the "aaafl Information, grossly exaggerated, of Mr.' , vr-H Bluino's illness nt tho Cabinet meeting. All flf these rumors and moro of tho same sort wont 'ppB flying about tlio Capitol until the legitimate M business of tho two IIousos was lost sight of In sbbbbI tho general demoralisation that seized upon bbbbI everybody and everything. ''! At tho moment vvhen tho fact of Mr. bbbbbI Blalno's attack became known Senator bbbbbbI Hale received a telephone message that LbbbI tho Secretary desired to see him on very H important business.
