THE "TIMES" MAN AT IT AGAIN.
latest Ileport of the Chilian Correspond
ent of the Thunderer.
London, Feb. 9. The generally wrong
correspondent of the "Times" in a long
dispatch to his paper says accounts con
firm the deep impression caused in Span
ish and Portuguese republics by the
the United States against
Chill.
The almost always Wrong correspond
ent then says:
"They regard It as an outrage, and de
clare that the Illusions they have hith
erto held respecting the griat northern
republic have vanished. The legitimate
Influence of tbo United States has been
destroyed, and in the futuro the Central
and South American republics must look
for protection and mutuality of interest,
both commercial and political, only
among themselves.
"Mr. Blaine seems to have foreseen and
directed this Impending destruction of
his Pan-American policy by the unwar
rantable ultimatum sent to Chill. Con
sequently he Is throwing the responsi-
b'-ity on President, iiamson. tmsH
