A LETTER FROM ADMIRAL BROWN
Goes to Show That There Was No Low Lost
larly in September.
EGAS AXD HIS BON T7ESE DENOUNCED
Sax Fbancisco, Oct 31. A letter from
Valparaiso, Chile, written under date of
September IS, two weeks subsequent to the
downfall of Balmaceda's Government, re
counts that at that time a feeling of great
bitterness was being exhibited toward
United States Minister Egan and the Amer
ican naval forces. Newspapers which be
gan pnblication after the success of the
Congressionalists continued to reiterate that
Minister Egan had favored Balmaceda, but
it was also conceded that he had protected
a number of Congressional adherents when
Balmaceda was in power. "When the con
flict closed the fact that he had afforded pro
tection to adherents ot Ualmaceda was
urged against him, as showing his sympathy
with the downfallen administration!
An intimation that a son of the United
States Minister was interested in a railway
enterprise was also cited as a reason tor the
opposition to the Minister, and the claim
was also made that the latter intended em
barking in a commercial enterprise in
Chile when hi' term of office expired, if
Balmaceda succeeded. It was acknowl
edged that no evidence was given in proof
ot these allegations, but they were printed,
and added to the feeling of animosity in the
popular mind against the American em
bassy. Attacks on Uncle Sam' Naval Force.
The papers also made attacks on the
American naval force, owing to the chase of
the Itata, and the statement was repeatedly
made in Valparaiso and Santiago papers to
the effect that Admiral Brown, in his flag
ship San Francisco, had given warning of
the landing of Congressionalists at Quin-
teros isay to tfaimacedas officers, even
going to the point of stating that he had on
board of his flacrship an officer or representa
tive of the Balmacedan armv. This was
called to the attention of Admiral Brown in
a note from Minister Egan, and the former
replied in the following letter, which was
printed in the principal Valparaiso and
Santiago papers:
My Dear Mr. Fpin:
I am in receipt of vour note of yesterday,
in regard to slanderous articles whicti ap
pear in several newspapers in relation to
my proms: in this ship to the vicinity of
Quinteros in the afternoon of the 20th ult.
I have to say that under ordinary circum
stances I would consider it beneath my
cignity as an officer of the United States
2Cavy to notice, even in this unofficial way,
such charges as are made. However, I will
Five, in a brief way, a statement of the
events of the day. As was my usual custom
I went on shoio in citizens dress, for a
walk, at about fl.30 a. ji., and meeting a Gov
ernment officer who spoke English, I acted
him if there were any troops near, lie re
plied at once- "Ye, the opposition have
made a landing; at Quintcros."
Tlie German Admiral' statement.
In order to verify his btatement or dis
prove it, I went at onco to the office of Ad
miral Viol, and he gave me particulars of
tlielindinjr. He said at early daylight are
port reached him by telephone from Val
paraiso lighthouse that a large number of
ships were entering Qninteros Bay, and at 7
jl. x. he received a telegram from Qninteros,
reporting that the opposition were there and
were making a Undine. " This telegram gave
the names of the men-of-war and stated that
there were five transports and three or foar
small steamers In the expedition. This was
not held as secret, for everyone on the
streets of Valparaiso knew it as soon as 1.
Admiral Viel told me that the advance
of the opposition would be contested by a
large force of Government troops, and that
a battle would be fought near QulnteniS. I
came afloat and informed the German Ad
miral, Valois, and the senior British officer,
Captain St. Clair, of mv intention of going
to Quinteros, and at the same time said I
would take an officer from their vessels, if
they desired to send one. Admiral Valois
did so. I reached Qninteros Bay at about 3.30
T.n., and, seeing no evidence of a battle,came
back to this port, where we anchored at
about 5 r. it. 1 sent an officer on shore with
a cablegram which he had to take to the
Intendencia to be approved. My message
to the Secretary of the Navy was in code, so
no one knew its rmroart. The officer wbo
went on shore told me that every one knew
the opposition had reached the Aconcagus
river. In fact, he obtalnedmore information
than I had. All I knew waB that a landing
had been made, and that no lighting had
taken place within sight of the ships.
The News Given Out by Brown.
No information was Riven by mo of what 1
had observed, and the crew of the boat
which went on shore wero cautioned no to
answer any questions. On the afternoon of
the 20tli ultimo I called in uniform on Ad
miral Montt and Colonel Jlerley, and re
newed an acquaintance with them which
had been made at Iquiqite. I was cordially
received by both of the gentlemen. At that
time I explained to Senor Montt all the facts
connected with my visit to Quinteros. So
this I say officially, that -no one except the
German officer, other than those belonging
to my ship, ere on board at the time.
Yours very truly,
George Brows, Rear Admiral, TT.S.N.
United States Flagship San Francisco, Val
paraiso, Chile, September 8.
Even after the publication of Admiral
Brown's letter the statements originally
made were reiterated, and the fact that the
Vicuna and other officials of the late Gov
ernment were given protection on board
American warships was cited as further
proof of American hostility, although the
same course was pursued by the German
Admiral. It was stated that the English
and French ships would not receive any of
the fleeing officials on board. Owing to
these repeated statements a distinct feeling
of hostility was created in the public mind
against all Americans in Chile.

prices io to 15 per cent
lower than the same goods
are offered for elsewhere?
How can we do it? Why, be
cause our expenses, rent; etc.,
are 15 per cent less than those of
downtown houses; that's as plain,
you'll agree, as daylight; it doesn't
require a bookkeeper to figure that
the smaller a firm's expenses are
the closer and cheaper they can sell.
You're safe on the price; if we've
got the style to suit you, we are
entitled to your patronage. (Call
to see about that.) The other day
we put on sale a number of new
styles, having sold a great many
of the styles we showed at our

LADES' FIE SIMPLE SHOES!
It is a well-known fact that shoe manufacturers use great care in
selecting the materials that go into sample shoes to be shown to the
trade. They don't go through a dozen kid skins and select the POOR
EST one for the uppers, and extra pains are taken in each department
of the factory to see that samples get the very best attention.
' In short; sample shoes are the best, and when they can be
bought for about half the regular price, it's a pretty good time to buy
fine shoes.
To-morrow morning (8 o'dock) we will place on sale 750 pairs
