During the past fortnight little has occurred in Chile
interest to your readers The political atmosphere more
than has been any time during the past eight
months and with the return of public confidence the bust
Of Valparaiso has almost resumed its normal condi
ton Of prosperity.
The government has committed the pain Of death to
which several Of the conspators Of February IS were
condemned to that Of Punishment and Rivadeueria
Ferro Robo and Others have already left the shores Of
Chile under heavy bonds not return Sad indeed as
is to contemplate the political condition of republic
torn by conflicting factions, whose parsans with sword
and fire endeavor to subvert the existing government in
order TO replace by another whose superiority very
questionable, it is CLEAN Of hope amid the darkness
know that the fiat Of justice has been tempered with mer
cy and that the mlder counSels of humanity have pre-
vailed in the high places.
There hope for Chile in the future but she can never
attain the proud position to which her patriots would ele
vate her until this tendency to call in the sword and the
bayone to settle party differences and 10 compass party
ends be thoroughly rooted out from her people, and
ing aside manuy the prejudices against their brethren
the North so insidiously by unfathfu Journalists
seek advice and instruction from those would cheer
fully aid them in the work OF progress-to beat the sword
into ploughshare and the spear pruning hook
This is unpatable language know to the fraternity OF

United States and such unmerited insult as thai INST
quoteo 70 nation that has ever sustained and sympa

and leads to most invidious comparisons.
The press Of Chile is exasperated because in view of
me repeated and too frequent outrages upon American
eess-n view OF the positive refusal to atone
ior such-n view Of the utter unprotectedness
OF our people and our property in Chethe government
OF the United States has lit send hher four or five

upon .ns republic IN satisfaction Of such ourages.
Is not very probable that in the critical condition Of

as England has likewise certain unsatisHed and dis

In her Legation and before the Department of Foreign
Affairs, the visit Of these forces will probably have veTy

that no nation will view with more qualification Eng
