from Mr. Egan. our Minister at Santiago,
Arar (ting the response of Mr. Pereira, the
Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the
note of Mr. Blaine of January 21, which was

notiffed to me until late in the afternoon of
‘that day.
~~ Theresponse of Mr. Pereira to our note of

‘sions of regrets, the offensive note of Mr.
Matta of the 11th ult., and also the request
for the recall of Mr. E The treatment
‘of th: incidens of the assault upon the sail-
‘ors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and
friendly that I am of the opinion that there
isa good prospect that the differences grow-
ing out of that serious affair can now be ad-
ed upon terms satisfac ory to this Gov-
ernment by the usual methods, and without
special powers from Congress.
This turn 1n the affairs is very gratifying to

our people. The general support of the
forts of the Executive to enforce the just
right of the nation in this matter has given
instructive and useful illustration of the
and patriotism of our people. Should
be necessary I will again communicate

Chili, January 25, and forwarded
) inister Egan to Secretary Blaine:
‘Bm: The undersigned has had the honor
receive Your Excellency's communica-
Yon, dated the 22d instant, received in this
Spatmont the 23d, and the du y authenti-
ed copies of the instructions which the
Hon. Secretary of State at Washington has
sent to Your Excellency by cable under
‘dates of the 21st instant and the 23d of
October, 1891. In the instructions of the
: instant the Honorable Secretary of
State informs Your Excellency that His
xcellency, Mr. Harrison, after carefully
mining all that has been submitted to
by the Government of Chile, with
to the event which occurred in Val-
|, paraiso on the evening of the 16th of Octo-
‘ber, and taking into consideration the testi-
mony of the officers and the crew of the
vessel, the Baltimore, and of others who
witnessed the event, has arrived at the
following conclusion:
~First—That with regard to th® assault
here has been no change whatever made in
“the character given to it by the first report
of the event, to wit: Thaf it was an attack
Spon the uniform of the navy of the United
States which had its origin and motives in a
feeling of hostility toward that Government,
and not in any act of the individual sailors
pe onging to it.
' Becond—That the public authorities of
‘Valparaiso evidently did not. do their duty
protecting thos - sailors, and that a party
he police and some Chilian soldiers and
ilors rendered themselves guilty of
"unprovoked assaults upon the sailors of the
Uuited States before and after the latter
were arrested, and tuat he believes that
n was killed by the police. or soldiers;
Third—That he is consequently compelled
$0 carry the question back to the state in
hich it was placed by the note of the Hon.
r. Wharton, dated October 23, and to ask
for suitable satisfaction and some adequate
i tion for the injury done the Govern-'
ment of the United States.
THE ATTACK ON THE SAILORS.
. Minister Pereira then quotes from Mr.
Blaine's letter concerning the gravity of the
‘attack on the sailors and his intention to
discuss the conclusionsat which the United
arrived. He also q
e notice of the Matta in-
ons, and continues:
Without any intention of opening a dis-
cussion as to the facts referred to by the
communication, which I have extracted,and
eonfinin; f tothe first part of the
he Honorable Secretary of
ate, the undersigned must state to Noo
Xxcellency the regret with which the
Government of Chile sees that His Ex-
. cellency, the President of the United States,
- finds reason fo continue to regard the in-
«cident of October as an attack caused by a
“hostile jogtin toward the uniform of the
navy of the United States.

_«arein the habit of assembling,
“distinction of nationalitv. From the nature
of the incident it would be impossible to
prove that there was no doubt as to the
special cause which served as its origin or
pretext; but the undersigned can assert that
that cause was not a hostile feeling toward
the uniform of the Navy of the United
‘States. because the people of Chile have
‘alwaysesteemed and respected that uniform
ever since the time when it saw it figurin
onorably in the ranks of the soldiers an
sailors who, in a glorious struggle, gave
it independence and established the Repuab-
ic,
The undersigned admits that the occur-
rence of October 16 was of greater gravity
than those which usually occur in the same
district between the sailors which frequent
t, and the fact of knowing thal two deaths
ave resulted from it among the 16 wounded
‘men of the Baltimore, has sufficed to give
t an extraordinary character, and to are
‘the government of Chile to hasten to adopt
the measures necessary to discover and
ish the guilty parties, to .offer in due
, if there should be ground for so doing,
T on as might be due.
HE OCCURRENCE IS LAMANTED.
‘After saying that he is sorry that the laws
of Chili Jid not permit a more speedy inves-
tigation, Mr. Pereira says:
‘In view of your communication, and con-
sidering that, up to date, it has been impos-
sible for the trial initiated by the Judge of
the Criminal Court of Valparaiso to be de-
«cided, the undersigned regards is as his duty
to declare once more that the Government of
hili laments the occurrence of October 16,
and by way of showing the sincerity of his
eeling and the confidence which he has in
the justice of his cause, he declares his will
ingness not to await the decision of the
mining Judge, and proposes to the Uni-
es Government thatthe case he sub-
to the consideration of the Supreme -
Justice’ at Washington, to the end

ty, may determine, without ap-
hether there is any ground for

of the police in arresting :
them from any attempt at attack by the
excited people. s .
The undersigned thinks that the action of
the police in this matter should be considered
with due allowance for the civil war which
had recently been broughttoaclose. The
body was not yet Pro; ly organized, nor,
did it have the force t was Tequired to pub
down a disorder of such proportions in a,
short time. In this connection it is pro;
to recali the words used by the Honorable
Secretary of State at Washington in his note
addressed to the Marquis Imperiali, and
bearing date of May 21, 1891: “There is no
Government, however civiiized it may be,
however great the vigilence displayed by its
police, and however severe its criminal code
may be, and however speedy and infl xible
may be its administration of justice, that
can guarantee its own citizens against
violence growing out of individual malice or
a sudden popular tumult.”
CHILE ACENOWLEDGES THE
TION’S GRAVITY.
This was precisely the situation of the
administrative authorities at Valparaiso on
the occasion of the occurence which took
place in October. The undersigned hopes
that the foregoing will convince the Hon.
Secretary of State that the Government of
Chile attaches due importance to the ques-
tion now under discussion; that he does not
for a moment hesitate to condemn, in
vigorous terms, the act committed on the
16th of October, or to offer such reparation
as is just, and that he has not neglected the
opportunity to express these sentiments be-
fore now, since, on - varions occasions, and
through the plenipotentiaries of both
countries, he has for arded explicit declara-
tions on the subject to Washington.
The undersigned takes the liberty to recall
the fact that, five days after he had taken
charge of the Departmedt of Foreign Rela-
tions, he addressed to the Minister of Chile
in the United States a telegram which, in
the part relating to this matter, says: *Ex-
ress to the United States Government what
as already been stated, adding all the data
that are known, in the most correct and
amicable form; express to the United States
Government very sincere regret on account
of this unfortunate incident, which
although and (not) strange in the ports of
the world, this Government doubly laments
owing to its sincere desire to cultivate
friendship with the United States.”
If United States Government 'should not
accept the foregoing explanations as satis-
factory, notwithstanding that the judicial
authorities hold the guilty parties responsi-
ble for the disorder of October 16, the under-
signed must recall the circumstance that the
Government of Chile, through the medium
of its Minister in Washington, has expressed
the desire to submit any misunderstanding
—dispute—to decision by arbitration by any
wer or tribunal which may be indicated
o it; nd, in fact, arbitration was suggested
in conference with the Minister of Chile in
Washington on the 30th of December, when
the Government on the undersigned
declared its good will and resolved to accept
arbitration after the final judgment, which
would not be further delayed many days, in
furtherance of its purpose to give a speedy
solution to the incident in the most friendly
rms.
The Government of the undersigned called
upon its minister for a definite reply on the
11th inst., and onthe 13th = Minister Montt
reported that notwithstanding certain ob-
servations made by the American State
Department with respect to the opportune.
ness of resorting to arbitration e had
nevertheless agreed with the Hon. Mr.Blaine
that, if any divergence of views or disaccord
should supervene after the verdict of the
Judge of Valparaiso,such controversy would
yield to arbitration.
MATTA’S INSTRUCTIONS WITHDRAWN.
The undersigned hastened to declare that
he would fully accept such an agreement;
for which reason the Government of Chile
deems that the case has arisen for submits
ting to arbitration, in terms as amp'e as
those above indicated,any difference of views
which it may have with the Government of
the United States concerning the incident of
the Baltimore. There is, therefore, submit-
ted to the Honorable Secretary of = State of
the Department of Foreign Relations of
Washington the designation of either the
supreme court of Justice of the United
States, or atribunal of arbitration to deter-
mine the reparation which Chile may have
to make for that lamentable occurrence.
As for the dispatch addressed under date
of the 11th of December to the Chilean Min-
ister in Washington by the Minister of For-
eign Relations ofthe Provisional Govern-
ment, the undersigned submits that there
could not be, on the part of the Government
of Chile, the purpose to inflict any offence
upon the Government of the United States,
with which it desires ever to cultivaie the
most friendly relations. Consequently the
undersigned deplores thatin that telegram
there were employed through an error of
judgment, the expressions which are offen-
sive in the judgement of your Government.
Declaring, in fulfillment of a high duty of
courtesy and sincerity towarda friendly
nation, that the Government of Chile ab-
solutely withdraws the said expressions, the
undersigned trusts that this frank and ex-
pric declaration, which eonfirms that which
as already been made to the Honorable
Secretary of State in Washington, will carry
tothe mind of His Excellency, Mr.Harrlson,
of his Government, that the people of Chile,
far from entertaining a feeling of hostility
has a lively desire to maintain unalterably
the good and cordial relations which up to
the present time exist between the two
countries—a declaration which is made
without reservationin order thatit may re-
ceive such publicity as your Government
may deem suitable.
EGAN'S RECALL 18 CONSIDERED.
With regard to the suggestion made
touching the change of the personnel of
your Legation, to which the instructions of
the Honorable Secretary of State refer, it is
incumbent upon the undersigned to declare
that the Government of Chili will take no
positive step without the accord of the Goy-
ernment of the United States, with which it
desires to maintain itself in friendly under-
standing.
The undersigned brings this already long
communication to a close in the assurance
that he has therein set forth everything that
can fully satisfy your Government. The
Government of Chili cherishes the convic-
tion that the relations with the Government
of the United states should be sincerely and
cordially maintained under the shelter of
that mutual respect and that good under-
standing which are based upon the just and
equitable appreciation of the fact and on
the appreciation to . egiven to the sponta-
neous declaration made on either side.
The undersigned, moreover, declares that
in presenting its explanations his Govern-
ment finds its inspiration in the words of the
instructions which you have quoted and
which assures the Government of Chili that
the President is not disposed to exact or ask
anything which your Goverpment would
not under the same circumstances sponta-
neously concede.

eration,

The Memorable Battle Between
Our Sailors and the Chileans.
The Main Tncidents of the Brutal
Attack Rehearsed,
The following is a condensed account,
taken from the New York Herald, of the
battle in the streets of Valparaiso between
the sailors of the United States warship Bal:
timore and the Chilean mob- :
It will be remembered that on the after-
noon of October 16th Captain Schley,taking
into consideration that his men been
cooped up aboard ship for over fiva months
without liberty, gave Shore pare to 117
seamen and petty offi in-
structions to keep rel special
exclusively gave to the world the
news that our sailors had been set upon by a
bloodthirsty mob in the streets of Valpar-
aiso, beaten, stabbed and viciously maltreated
until two of them been done to death
and a number of others more or less des
perately wounded.
- As was told at that time in the Herald our
men were absolutely without other means of
defence than those furnished them by na.
ture, and were helpless in the hands of over-
powering numbers.
Only one Chilean was hurt in the affray
and his injuries were not fatal.
Two distinct investigation of the affray
were undertaken almost immediatoly, one
aboard the Baltimore
instituted by Captain Schley, and the otier
in the Chilean courts by Judge of Crimes
Foster
The testimony adduced before these two
tribunals, while differing widely in many
respects, added to rather than substracted
from the dramatic interest in the affray
which came so near embroiling the United
States and Chile in a bloody and costly war.
The men landed from the Baltimore, which
lay off the passenger mols, at the foot of the
Plaza de la Intendencia, about two o'clock in
the afternoon. . They were supplied with
“liberty money,” which they had changed at
the money changer's office, a short disténce
up the plaza, at Calle de Cochran &
From here the men separated and in small
parties rambled through the town sight see-
ing and amusing themselves, as sailorsashore
0, % &
Many of the bluejackets made for that
portion of the city known among Enghsh
Sp g seafaring men as the “maintop,”
which, roughly speaking, isinclosed between
Calle del Clave, the hills, Plaza San Fran:
cisco and Avenida de Errazuriz. :
The Intendencia, at the Calles de Ban
Augustin and de Serrano, is only about
district, where the hardest fighting took
place, and the fact which was brought out
in both iuvestigations, that it was fully
half an hour before the arrival of the police
and soldiers, is one of the grounds for the
belief expressed on the part of the United
States authorities that due diligence was
not used in protecting our men.
e many warnings had been given to
the Baltimore's sailors, as Captain Schley’s
investigation shows, that trouble was in
store for them, it was not until nearly six
. O'clock that the fight really began.
Boatswain’s Mate Riggin and Apprentice
Talbot were near the True Blue saloon at
Calles, Santo Domingo and Matriz, when,
according to Talbot's story, a Chilean sailor
sna in his face and was promptly knocked
own.
Then the mob attacked the two Ameri-
cans. They fled down the Plaza de Wheel-
wright, and on Callo del Coderane, near
Calle del Marquez, boarded a street car in
order to escape the mob. They were made
to leave the car and were again attacked.
Talbot made his escape and Riggin struggled
along up Calle de Marquez until ha reached
Calle de Arsenal, where he was found by
Seaman Johnson.
Assisted by the latter they made their way
up Calle de Arsenal a few feet to the place
where Riggin was shot, it is alleged by
Johnson, by the police or soldiers.
Riggin’s body was taken to the drug store
at Plaza Echaurren and Calle de 1a Matriz.
In the meantime there had been, accord-
ing to the testimony, a general assault on
the American sailors. iri Turnbull
was attacked, beaten and stabbed while on
the Plaza Ecbaurren and ran into a place on
Calle de San Martin and the plaza to escaps
from the mob, but was driven out. He was
taken to a drug store adjoining that to
which Riggins was taken.
Seaman Hamilton was attacked on Calle
de Marquez, near Calle de Blanco, and was
picked up from the gutter only a few feet
away.
Seaman Davidson was the victim of a
vicious assault at the same place where
Riggin was shot, and about the same timg,
He ran down Calle de Marquez, pursued b:
a section of the mob, to the water front,an
thence to the Mole, The mob was close be
hind him, and as no boatman would take
him to hisship he ran into the water ad-
joining the Mole, where he was made a
target for a shower of stones.
He stood this as long as possible and then
made for the shore again. He succeeded in
fighting his way through the crowd, up the
Plaza de la Intendencia a few yards to the
Prat monument, and fell fainting in the
door of a store at the Plaza and Calle de
Blanco, He was found here unconscious by
a French naval officer and carried to a dry
goods store across the street, and from
thence was taken in charge by a policeman
when he had regained consciousness.
The police at the station on the Mole, it is
claimed, afforded him no protection, and
here, too, while the station was only a couple
of hundred yards from the centre of that
section of the eonflict, it was many minutes
before they tried to quell the disturbance,
claims Captain Schley. :
While these stirring scenes were being an-
‘acted in the ‘‘Maintop” in another section
of the city at the Galles de la Esmeralda and
de la Concepcion, nearly half a mile away,
other American sailors were being attacked.
It is this which led Captain Schley to the
conclusion that the attacks were preconcert-
ed and part of a general plan which had
been well arranged.
It was at this pace, near the Hotel
de Colon, whera Sailor Carson was attacked
and beaten, and on the opposite side of the
street is the cigar store where he sought
refuge and was advised to change his uni-
form and put on citizens’ clothes, which he
did, and was not further molested.
The police and soldiers after considerable
time succeeded in dispersing the mob ani
maki some arrests, most of the ar-
rested being American sailors,
Although there was a police station at
the Mole, only: three hundred yards from
the troubled districts, the prisoners were
taken, it is alleged by Captain Schley and
denied by the Chilean authorities, uader cir-
cumstances of aggravate! brutality, to the
lice station and court in the Plaza de la
Pr at the other end of the city and
nearly a mile away.

MATTA'S OFFFENSIVE NOTE
Full Text of the Chilean Minister's
Insulting Missive.
One of the gravest issues in the contro
versy between the United States and @hile
has been the Matta note to Chileas Ministers
abroad. This was sent by Matta, at that
time Forsign Minister to Chile, to the Chil=
ean Minister at Washington with the sanc-
tion of the President of Chile, was read in
the Chilean Senate, and pu )lished in all the
Chilean papers. Its text in full is as fol-
lows: ’
“Having read the portion of the report of
the Secrel of the Navy and of the mes-
sage of the President of the United States,
I think proper to inform you that the state-
ments on which both report and message are
based are erroneous or deliberately incor-
rect. With respect to th 28 pefsons to whom
an asylum has been grag
has it been sought to remove them from the
legation, nor has their surrender been asked
for. Neyer has thethouse: or the person of
the Plenipotentiary, nothwithistanding indis-
crotions and deliberate provocations been
subjected to any offense, as is proved by the
eleven notes of September, October and No-
vember,
“With respect to the seamen of the Balti-
more, there is, moreover, no ‘exactness or
sincerity in what is said ab Jy ashington.
The occurrence took place in a bad neighbor-
hood of the city, the Maintop of Valparaiso,
and among people who are not models of
discretion and temperance. When the po-
lice and other forces interfered and calmed
the tumult, there wera already several hun-
dred le there. and it was ten squares or |
more from the place where it had begun.
“Mr. Egan sent, on the 26th of October, a
note that was aggressive in purpose and
viralent in language, as is seen by the copy
and the note written in reply on the 27th.
“On the 18th the preliminary examination
had already been commenced. it had been
delayed owing to the non-appearance of the
officers of the Baltimore and owing to undue
pretentions and refusals of Mr. Egan him.
self. No provocation has ever been acce,
or initiated by this department. Its atti.
tude, while it has ever been one of firmness
and prudence, has never been one of aggres-
siveness, nor will it ever be one of humilia-
tion, whatever may be or has been said at
Washington by those who are interested in
Justifying their .conduct or who are blinded

“The telegrams, notes, and latters which
have been sent to you contain the whoie
truth, in connection with what has taken
place in these matters, in which ill will and
the consequent; words and pretensions: have
not emanated from this department. Mr,
Tracy and Mr, Harrison hava been led into
error in respect to our people and Govern-
ment; the instructions (recommending) im-
artiality and friendship have mot

If no official complaint has been. made
against the minister and naval officers, iti is
because the facts, public and notorious both
in Chile and the United States, could no
although they were well proved, be urge:
by our confidential agents. Proof of this is
furnished by the demands of Balmaceda and
the concessions made in June and July, the
whole Itata case, the San Francisco at Quin-
tero, and the cable companies, The state-
ment that the North Amc ican seamen were
attacked in various localities at the time is
deliberately incorrect. °
“As the preliminary examination is nof
et concluded, it is not yet known who and
Tove many the guilty parties are. You no
doubt have the note of November 9, written
in reply to Minister Egan, in which I
request him to furnish testim which
he would not give, although he had said
that he had evidence showing who the
murderer was and who the ot guilty
parties of the 16th of October were. That
and all other notes will be published here,

United States. Deny in the meantime every-
ments, being assured of their exactness, as
