"AN ULTIMATUM. President Harrison's Message on the Chilean Affair. CHILE MUST APOLOGIZE. The Whole Correspondence Sub- mitted to Congress. All Citizens Must be Protected —No | Satisfactory Expression of Regret Even Tendered the Chilean Government—A Clear and Concise View of the Whole Situation In Both Countries, by ! that the President Harrison's Chilean message on by in the the documents, correspondence, the case, to Congress, The | message reviews all the evidence in ths case situation, accompanied ote. been has sent and says he feels compelled to stand upon the | of the 21 to | Minister Egan. are that the Chilean Government must | apologize and make reparation for the | assault upon the Baltimore sailors, that | the Matta circular note of December 13 must be withdrawn, that the language in the note | must be withdrawn, and the language dis- avowed with as much publicity as it was cir- | culated, or diplomatic relations with Chile | will cease, that Mr, Egan's recall will not be considered until thése matters are disposed | of. The President in stating his reason for making these demands advised that they be | confirmed and enforced by Congress, President says: “1 do not deem it necessary in this com- munication to attempt any full analysis of | the correspondence or of the evidence, A | brief restatement of the international ques tions involved and of the reasons why the responses of the Chilean Government are un- satisfactory is all that | deem necessary. | “It may be well, at the outset, tosay that, | have been id in this co le in eniti of Minister history of this exciting Chilean affairs, from the outbreak lution until this time, discloses no part of Mr. Egan unworthy of or that could justly be the oo CASION serious animadversion or criticism. | He has, | yi the whole, borne himself, in very trying circumstance, with dignity, discretion and eourage, and has conducted the correspondence with ability, courtesy and fairness, “It is worth while, also, at the beginning, to say that the right of Mr. Egan to give shelter in the legation to certain adherents of the Balmaceda Government, who applied to him for asylum, has not been | by the Chilean authorities, nor has sny demand been made for the surrender of these refu demands note of January These demands The i 119 den lex ll recedents cited by Mr. Egan, particu- lar 3 ws of the revolution in Peru in 1460, not leave the Chilean Government nap ion to deny the right of asylum to | political refugees, | ssomed very clearly to support Mr. Egan's contention that a safe couduct to a neutral territory was a neces sary and acknowledged incident of the asylum, AN with nies “These refugees have very recently out formal wiuct, but by the ac cence of t orities, been placed | on board the Yorkt y and are now being | conveyed t his incident t be losed, but this Gov wive polio 11998, at the most nm the | of the mig the « ernmen » fs still that cur stabbed and they or 3 had dome, but for what the Govern ment of the United States had 4d or was charged with having done, by its civil officers and naval commanders, If that be the true aspect of the case, the injury was to the Government of the United States not to these poor sailors who were assaulted in a manner so brutal and so cowardly. The President then goes on to consider the legal aspect of the case, and declares that our Government must take notice of the event as one involving an infraction of its rights and dignity, precisely as if its minis ter or consul, or the flag itself, had been the the object of the same character of assault, | “On the 21st inst...” says the President, «| caused to be communicated to the Gov. ernment of Chile, by the American Minister at Santiago, the conclusions of this Govern ment after full considerstion of all the evi- dence and of every suggestion, affecting this matter, and to these conclusions I adhere.” (These conclusions are given below under the head “The Ultimatum.)" In the same note, the message continues, the attention of the Chilean Government was called to the offensive character of a note addressed by Mr. Matta, its Minister of Foreign Affairs, to Mr. Monts, its Minister at this Capital, on the ult. This dispatch was not officially ymmunicated to this Gov ernment. but. as Mr. Montt was directad to translate it and give it to the press of this country, it seemed to me that it could not pass without official notice. It was not only undiplomatic, but grossly insulting to oar naval officers and to the Executive Depart. ment, . it directly imputed un. truth and insincerity to the reports of the naval officers and to the official com munications made by the Executive De partment to Congress it =i be observed that I have notified the Chilean Govern. ment that unless this note is at once with- drawn and an apology as public as the offence made, I will terminate diplomatic relations, The request for the recall of Mr, Egan upon the ground that he was not persona grata was unaccompanied by any suggestion that could property be used in support of it, | and I infer that the request is based upon of - ficial acts of Mr, Egan which have received the approval of this Government, But how. ever that may be, | could not consent to consider such a question until it bad first been: settled whether our correspondence with Chile conld be conducted upon a basis | of mutual res In submitting these papers to Congress for | that grave snd patriotio consideration which the questions involved demand, I de | sire to say that I am of the opinion that the demands made of Chile by this Gov. ernment should be adhered to and enforoed, If the dignity as well as | the prestige and influence of the Unital | States are not to be wholly sacrificed we | must protect those who, in foreign ports, | display the flag or wear the colors 0 opinion beaten thing SLOSS killed, an were assaulted, | not this | Government against insult, brutality and | death, inflicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own.

To this, Senor Matta replied that not polios spies He mitted indiscretions which might provoke replies and reprisals not pleasing to the rights or decorum of anybody.” In furthe: correspondence Mr Wagan renewed charges, and Minister Matta insisted that the disturbances grew out of the conduct of the puspie connected with the legation and the refugees.

In a reply to this Capt.
