I'll* I.IUIti K(.public Notified Tliitl liar Apology In Accepted—No Demand Made for a Salute of

I'KKKECTI.T SATISFACTORY. WASHINGTON, Feb. l. Secretary Itlaine has sent a cable message to Minister Kgan, instructing liim to inform the Chilian government thut its proposition for settlement of the difference between the two governments made in response to the ultimatum of the 21st instant, is satisfying to the president of the United States, as indicating a good prospect that the controversy can now be adjusted on terms satisfactory to this government by the usual diplomatic methods. The telegram makes no request or suggestion of any kind whatever for a salute by Chili to the American flag. There was nothing said at Friday's cabinet meeting on this subject, and there is no reason to believe that this government will require such a salute from Chili. It is very possible however, that Chili will oh her own accord perform this graceful act at the termination of the diplomatic adjust meut of all difficulties which is now in progress.

The following is the text of the cabit message sent by Secretary IUaine at: cepting Chili's proposition for settle ment of the differences between the two governments: "1JKPAHTMKST OK STATE.

"The president notes wish gratification tin expressions'of regret for the condemnation o' Ihe afsault upon the sudors of the Uallimore offered by Mr. Pereirn, and congratulates tilt Chilian government upon the frank and amplt withdrawal of the Mattu circular and upon tilt spirit of justice displayed towards Mtalsl^i Egan. You will assure the Chilian governmcn' that the president will lie glad to meet in tlii most generous spirit these friendly overtures. "Believing that the subject of reparation fo assault upon the seamen of the Baltimore ii now capable of adjustment between the tw governments by the usual diplomatic method the president proposes for the present any dis cussion of the sug?«stions made by Senor Pc rtra as to the use of other methods, not doubt lug that the sense of justice of Chili will enabli the two governments to speedily and honorabl make full end of the whole matter.

In direct violation of the American law, which provides that a foreign ensign must be accompanied by the stars and stripes, the fore and main masts were destitute of bu nting.

As the vessel sailed up the harbor the British flag was perceived by pec pie on the docks, and as the vessel passed the Three Hridges the abutments were black with excited men, who greeted the British flag with hisses, mingled' with cries of "Haul it down," and

Shoot it." Capt. Trowbridge, of the schooner, drew a pistol and swore lie I would shoot the first man who taid hands on the halyards.

When the vessel finally readied her berth at Swords wharf.whicli is just in the rear of the Fourth regiment armory, there were over 1,000 men on the wharf. They were joined by a few armed militiamen from the armory, who attempted to tear down the flag. They were driven off at the revolver's muzzle by the crew. An American flag was then hoisted on an adjoining schooner and greatly cheered. The Hritish flag still floats, but will le forcibly removed to-day.
