CHILE BACKS DOWN. | (Continued from Editorial Page.) nacessary nud acknowledged incident of | the asylum. These refugees have very recently, without formal safe conduct but by the acquiescence of the Chilean authorities, been placed on board the Yorktown and are now being conveyed to Callao, Peru. Disrespect to Our Legation This incident might be considered wholly closed but for the disrespect man- ifested towards this government by the close and offensive police surveillance of the legation premises which was mani fested during most of the period of the stay of the refugees therein, After the date of my annual message | and up to the time of the transfer of the refugees to the Yorktown the legation yremises seem to have been surrounded y police in uniform, and police agents | or detectives, in citizens’ dress, who of- | fensively scrutinized persons entering or aud, A on one or more embers of the min- L8vVin gS OCCASIONS, uli el I ister's fami Commander Evans, who, by direction, recently visited Mr. Egan at Santiago, in his telegram to the navy department, described the legation as ‘‘a veritable prison,” and states that the police agents or detectives were, after his arrival, withdrawn during his stay. It appears further, from the note of Mr. Egan of Nov. 20, 1801, that on one occasion at least these police agents, whom he declares to be known to him, invaded the legation premises, pounding upon its windows and using insulting and threatening language towards per- sons therein, The Chilean authorities have, as will be observed from the correspondence, charged the refugees and the inmates of the legation with insulting the police; but it seems to me incredible that men whose lives were in jeopardy and whose safety could only be secured by reti ment and quietness, should have sought to provoke a collision which could only pd in their destruction. The Attack on Our Sallors, But the most serious incident disclosed by the correspondence 1s that of the at- tack upon the sailors of the Baltimore in the streets of Valparaiso on October 15 last. We have now received from the Chil ean government an abstract of the co clusions of the fiscal general testimony taken by the judge of crime in an investigation which extend over nearly three months much regret to be compelled tO say this report does not enable me to modify the conclusion announced in my annual message. I am still of the opinion that our sail- ors were assaulted, beaten, stabbed and killed, not for anything they or any one of them had done, but for what the gov- ernment of the United States had do or was charged with having done, by its civil officers and naval commanders If that be the true the injury was to the governm¢ United States, not to these poor sailors who were assanited in a manner so brutal and so cowardly. The Baltimore was Valparaiso by virtue of vitation which nations are | to the war vessels of which they have friendly rel This invitation, I think, n ordinarily to embrace such communication with the sh is reasonable and the comfort and convenience of th cers and men of such vessels, Captain Schley's Testimony. Captain Schley testifies that when his vessel returned to Valparaiso on Sept 14, the city officers, as extended the hospitalities of the his officers and crew. It is not claimed that every pers collision or injury in which a officer of such naval vessel vi , shore may be involved raises an int national question But I am cles where such saulted by ar ! by hostility to gover uniform these sailors and officers wear and in resentment of acts done by their government, not by n. their nati must take ice of the event as ond volving an dignity The officers and more were in the under the orders not by their own choles They were upon ti hore plied Chile, and wi commanding And it does from that of m permanent express invitation of ment to Justify Nor does it affect the injury was the act of upon the WAS nade I ve th 4 the case nt of ik UR § aspect of the NeCPSSAry 18 cust INAary, City sail nment w them government by the vernment f th : th val of ~ invitation Rae (us ut a mob Attack. n reviews Cause of the The dents of sailors wh and well bel the Sisters whence thes The tice who w outbreak in began by a fa f Talbot, w knockdown.

At the Mercy of the Mob It appears from Chilean sources that almost instantly, with a suddenness that strongly implies meditation and prepa ation, a mob, stated by the thorities at one time to number and at another 1,000, was engaged in the assault upon our sailors, who are rep resented as resisting “with stones, cluls and bright arma.” The report of the intendente of Oct 80 states that the fight began at 6 p.m and that the police rived on the scene at 0:80, a full half hour after the assault president the the affair, assertis tent mm “an nothing an an 2 06x) began, Xt that time he says that a mob of 2,000 men had collected and that for several squares there was the appear ance of “a real Iattlefleld.” The scene at this point is very graphi- cally set before us by the Chilean testi mony.

They were stated as follows: “Pirst—That the assault is not re | lHeved of the aspect which the early in- formation of the event gave it, viz: That of an attack upon the uniform of | the United States navy, having its origin and motive in a feeling of hostility to this government and not in any act of | the g | i alors or of any of them, “Second—That the public authorities | of Valparaiso flagrantly failed in their | duty to protect our men, and that some of the police and some of the Chilean | soldiers and sailors were themselves guilty of um N \ sailors before aud afier a He president the preponderance of the evidence and the inherent probabili ties lead to the conclusion that Riggio was killed by the police or soldiers “Third—That he (the president) is therefore compelled to bring the case back to the sition taken by this gov ernment in The note of Mr. Wharton of Oct. 281ast * * * and to ask for a suitable apology and for some adequate separation for the injury done to this government,’ Matta's Offensive Note, In the same note the attention of Chilean government was called to offensive character of a note tl QSL address by Mr. Matta, its minister of foreign al fairs, to Mr. Montt, its minister - 11th 1 at t at thi municat y this gov Mr. M directed and give i it soeerned without of " It was not only undiplomatic grossly ulting to our naval and to the ex directly imputed x to the report ! h to the official com the executive d It to and en el Uphold the If the dignity as we L. and influence of the $ to: hes wi : sacrifiond we 1nnst Ur Nation's Dignity pre United Stats tect those who in the flag or wear the « ernment against insult death, inflicted in resentinent of their government and not act of their n oo It} men lors of this g brutality and of the acts for any of Fireman Shields 3 1 Sha for, wi nited f this man { the | held In itd Sates UN, AS eX]roNse na, bs ples which are ma ard m ninent In reg tection as distinguished fr of seamen are well settled “It is held that the circumstance that the vessel is American is evidence that the seamen on board are such: and in every reguiarly documented merchant vessel the crew will find their protection in the flag that covers them."
