(IIY KUTiTKie TI; I. I.iIH Al' 11, —Copy |;|OUT.) New YoI:i;, October liO. 'I'llK Cliilinn Gov.'l'iimi nt has refused to allow representatives of foreign i'owers to hold an imjuiry in'o the outrage on the sailors of the United States navy.

The Cabinet hus had the matter under cottsidera'ion st Washington, anil, as 'lie outcome uf the deliberations, the cruiser YorkstoA'u has been ordered to Valparaiso.

It is expected thai Mr Eg, 'in, United Slates .Minister in Chili, will embark upon the cruiser Baltimore, which is lying i:i Valparaiso harbour, thus s wiring diplomatic relations between Chili and the United States. October oh The Washington Post, Mr J. (1. Maine's organ, makes ail angry reply to the London Times' .strictures with regard to the dispute between Chili and the United States.

The Chilian Government demands th'' 1 rei'all of Mr Put rick Egitn. tli" Tinted States Minister, I'residonl Harrison favours t!ie request, but Mr J. O. 111aii)i\ th" Secretary of State, objects, and serious ditl'ercnces in the Cabinet have been the result.

There is great activity in the ship yards, prepaiing vessels iu case of •mergency.

Chili is showing a defiant attitude to the American demands, and it is alleged that she believes that England will come toller assistance.

The Eveniusf Post rofurs to Air Egan as being uneducated, and says as he is disliked in Chili it would only bt decent and prudent to recull him. November 1. It is reported that thn Chilian Government. refuses to have any further r.-Litious with Mr Egan, and (he bupropion prevails that hi* fciro-jval would induce Chili to satisfy the detunuds made by the United States Government for an apology and indemnity fir the outran on the sailors belonging to Ihe U.S. warship Baltiun ire. There is but little excitement in the United States over the nff'air, and a serious rupture between the two e.>tnitri"s is regarded as i n probable. Presid-nt Harrison is believed to favour stronger action in the matter than Air Main. Valparaiso. Ootobe" 2!>. During a ball hi'ld in the city a toast was drunk (;■> the destruction of the Ainerir.au liopublie A number of English residents who wen; present refused to recognise the toast, aud withdrew from the room. Owing to the excitement occasioned by the rupture with the United States, business in the city is saspended. The Times s iys that Mr Maine, iu adopting the atiitude he has towards Chili, is appealing to the national vanity in vi w of the impending elections in live States. November 1. The Chilian Government assorts that an enquiry into the outrage on the lTuit"d Slates sailors his not. yet been concluded. Eleven Chilians have j b" si arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the a'lair.
