Effect of US losing a War to Chile in 1885

No war reparations to Chile obvious, but to Colombia that,in this specific scenario we are speaking, it´s look like were the invaded country that Three different countries jumped to defend, a more symbolic gesture than anything else.
again, I doubt it. Both nations have reason to want a peace fast, and negotiations over reparations are likely to go over (very) badly with the US Congress (who will have to sign off on any peace treaty)… not to mention the US public. Also, I don't see the UK and France 'jumping in' to defend Columbia; France is likely to demand that the US leave, but in this scenario, the US is out fairly quick, so no real need to escalate. The UK is just going to remind the US that they have equal ownership in any US canal (again, that's a bit weird). Also, both nations have an interest in keeping the US transit rights intact, so they aren't likely to be too demanding of the US...
 
-Chile and US get into a fight circa 1883

-Chile wins hands down and raids SF mint, carrying off large amounts of gold and putting the fear of the Almighty in DC. Maybe they take a few islands off the coast of California as 'coaling stations' and/or US property in Hawaii as an extra humiliation

-US looks to modernize their fleet and fast, but until 1898 are very inactive in the Pacific as well as Atlantic. Chile uses its newfound glory to become lead Spanish nation in South America with British support while Argentina groes closer to Germany.

-US and Spain play out war akin to OTL Spanish-American war, Chile stays well clear of the Anglo giant and sells both the Hawaiian interests and Californian islands back to the US for reasonable prices.

-US develops torpedoes and submarines well ahead of the curve and becomes an even greater power than OTL with WW1 made less destructive and WW2 shortened by 4-6 months

-Chile gets mauled without apology during Pinochet takeover and Anglos exact revenge in an almost, 'Nothing Lasts Forever' style.
