ANUTUKK ULTIMATUM.

Ni:\y Youk, Jan. no.—The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: President Harrison wili send another ultimatum to the little .South American republic. In substance this cable was sent from here at un early hour Friday morning: "Kyitn, Siinllugo, Chili: President Harrison accept*, null's apology in the 1 )rn ul md generous spirit in which it was nfreiwl. "Hi.ainis."

A cable to this elTect will follow this morning: "Egan, Santiago, Chill: V.'liile Chili's apology is, in terras, all that this covin try could ask, yet there is ono thing more to be done before the ilignity of the United States will be fully satisfied. Chill must salute the stars and stripes. Ui.aine."

Such was the decision at the meeting of the cabinet late Friday afternoon. The first cable—that is, the one accepting the apology—also states that the matter of indemnity to the families of the two sailors who were killed and the fourteen others who were wounded in the Valparaiso affair can bp settled by the two governments without reference to arbitration.

The second cable, or the one demanding that the stars and stripes be honored, informs Minister Egan that a salute to the national colors will give emphasis and expression to Pereira's apology, which will make it doubly gratifying to the people of this country, and he is to understand that this government will insist upon it

Must Honor the Flag.

Washington, Jan. 80.—Cliili must salute the flag. When this is done the Baltimore incident will be closed. There will be no resort to the supreme court of the United States nor to a tribunal of arbitration. President Harrison's administration accepts the apology of the Chilian government iu its broadest sense. With this feeling there will be no need of any intervention to settle the terras of settlement. The Chilian authorities having admitted that reparation is due, the arrangement of the amount of idemnity to be paid the families of the victims of the Valparaiso assault can easily be arranged through diplomatic channels.

Iteply to I'ercrm's Note.

Those points were discussed brie 11 at the cabinet meeting Friday when Secretary Blaine outlined the instructions which were to be sent to Minister Egan in acknowledgment of Minister Pereria's note. It is understood that the secretary's answer went Friday night and will be delivered by Minister Egan Monday. The Chilians will find nothing to complain of in it The paper will be a notable one. It will show that President Harrison's administration, while firm in upholding the rights of those who wear the American uniform, has been moved by no unkindly feelings toward Chili. Minister Pereira's hearty expressions of good will will be met in the same spirit and there will be no caviling over the terms.

It Will ItOMt Willi t'llili.

Secretary lilainc in stating the pleasure of.l'resideul Harrison's administration that such a satisfactory understanding has been reached will in effect declare that with such frank tenders as Chili makes it is not for the United States to haggle about the amount of the indemnity or to ask either its own august supreme court or a third nation to intervene. This country will trust Chili to do what is proper. The salute to the flag will follow the apology, as a matter of course.

To Restore Good Feeling.

This was stated by Secretary Blaine in answer to an incidental question during the cabinet meeting. He did not think there could be any misconstruction about that The Montt government, when the reply to the ultimatum of tho United States was drafted, fully understood that the salute would be the last step to the restoration of good feeling between the two republics which have been estranged. It is presumed the suggestion for this will conic from Chili itself. The United Statos has on several occasions in offering apology for wrongs done to other nations saluted the flag of such nations. It is a recognized principle of international law that a salute may be accepted as an apology.

Will Return the Salute*

In insisting that this be done the United States will be exacting no hard conditions. It will simply be seeing that the whole world understands that Chili has npologized. To show the renewal of cordial relations the salute will be returned and the whole misunderstanding will be at an end. The Hag of the United States will thenceforth be respected throughout South American and the ignorant populace will have learned that there is one other country besides Great Britain which holds an injury to the humblest sailor wearing its uniform as an injury itself.

Heady to I'ay.

Santiago, Jan. 30.—A cable dispatch was received Friday morning from Minister Pedro Montt at Washington repeating the text of President Harrison's message to congress, accompanying Chili's reply to the ultimatum of the United States. He adds that he is now assured that the government of the United States is favorably disposed to that of Chili and is content with Minister Poreira's reply. Senor Pereira read Senor Montt's dispatch at the session of the senate Friday afternoon. Nothing was said in the dispatch relating to the question of future arbitration and Indemnity, but Chili will certainly pay whatever indemnity is agreed upon, fleu.d with h* Emnlt

During its first session, lasting nearly four hours, the committee heard Messrs. Rice, Ritter, Bailey and Noble C. Butler. The testimony of these gentlemen was in opposition to Judge Woods on the ground that he had been prejudiced in his charges to the jury in the "blocks of five"' and the Coy cases, and had not given that assistance in securing the attendance of witnesses and otherwise expediting the former case that he should have done. The committee spent much time examining these witnesses, and when the last of the four had been beard andscross-questioned a recess was taken.

FOUR BURNED TO DEATH.

Mm. George Cramer and Three Children l.ose Their St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 30.—Four miles west of Brainerd, Minn., Friday four persons were burned to death. George Cramer's house caught fire and his wife and three children were cremated. The husbaud was away, but saw the fire and found the burned bodies. The bodies lay in the cellar together, bnrned beyond recognition. Cramer is nearly crazed with grief. The only theory now advanced is that the bouse took fire under the floor, that Mrs. Cramer -was outside, and on discovering it rushed in to save the children and all fell to the cellar. The woman was 20 years old. The children were aged 4 and 2 years and the baby 1 month.

The Free-1 born county hank, of which Armstrong wis chief owner, was, however, rinsed, and the announcement made that it would be reopened soon. Recently de-1 posilors have heen very pressing in their demands and have threatened to have a receiver appointed.

The True Situation.

Friday the. true situation was learned, when the directors made the sensational statement that there was no money in the vaults to pay depositors and that the bank would not be reopened. The amount of money on deposit, mainly belonging to Albert Lea merchants and Freeborn county farmers, is variously estimated at from 500,000 to SSO.OOO. The administrator of the Armstrong estate say^ it is prolalile tills money will all be repaid, but that it will require the .sacrifice of a large amount of real estate and may not be paid for two or three years.

Kxvltod Depositors.

The depositors ore in* a great state of excitement and are spreading all sorts of rumors. One of these is to the effect that Gov. Armstrong lost money heavily in wheat speculation in Chicago during the last four or five years of his life. His friends admit that he dealt to some extent in wheat and pork but scout the idea that his losses we re more than a few thousands, if anything. His real estate holding* ill .',! bert Lea and .MinnertpolU are listed at "534(1.000. itjnk Door* Cios*:l.

TO ATTACK BV PIKCKMBAl. Washington. Jan. :!0. The democratic policy witli reference to the tarifl in this congress has been decided. Tho McKinlev law will be attacked by separate bills aimed at a few parts of the measures, not by a general tariff revision bill.

Nothing was said about which particular feature of tho present law should be first attacked, and this will be left to future determination. lliiw tilt* Vote Stood. :!After there hail been a lengthy discussion iu which the members of the committee in former congresses expressed their opinion in favor of a general tariff revision bill, 'and Mr. Springer and his associates nrgucd that the proper method of procedure was by attacking the tariff law in detail, Mr. Hrya.il (Neb.) offered a resolution declaring it to be the sense of the democratic members of the committee that its policy with regard to tariff legislation in the Fifty-second congress should bo one of revision by separate measures instead of a general revision of the whole system. This motion was carried by a vote of seven to three.

Those voting aye were Springer (111.), chairman: Montgomery (Ivy.), Whiting (Mich.), Shively (Ind.), Cockran (N. V.), Stevens (Mass.), and Uryan (Neb.). Those voting against the proposition were Mc.Millin (Tenn.), Turner (Ga.), and Wilson (W. Va.).
