no opportunity, |ince landing in New York. to
serve the Chilian cause. lie appeared again at
the Monroe Doctrine meeting, held on January
6, and spoke as iollows;-
az offer YOU my sincere thanks for the natter
ing manner in which these resolutions on behalf
of my native land have been received. Your
kind sympathy and your noble applause show
me that J you understand Alright the cause OF my
country. (Cheers.) | hope you Will carry out
tho3e resolutions as an act OF Justice TO conntry
which knows how TO fight Tor It's nOerty and
honor. In our land YOU and your people are be-
loved; and the mother teaches her young child
to utter, with respect aad loye. the name nrSt
OF Washington, and then the name OF the
greatest redeemer of mankind after our Saviour,
Abraham Lincoln. cloud cheers.) l wish TO
tell you first that Justice has never been done
to the republics of South America. The spirit
of liberty which came over with the Puri-
tans is as dear to the hearts OF the people of
South America as it is to the hearts of the
people OF the North. tChears.) The little
republic OF Chile has stood up for more than
half century for republican freedom, in de
spite OF monarchical despotism, and after fifty
years of almost one continuous struggle for
freedom, it Is now battling with the tyrant OF
Spain Tor the freedom and sacredness OF Is in.
stimtions. (Cheers.) Chill has been through
the throes Of long and bloody struggle, and its
brave and pat1 lotto people will yet trampe upon
years OF battle, and of varied triumph and defeat,
its people we're still destined to hear the thunder
OF cannon upon the Rio Grande; but like the
people of Peru (cheers), they Will know how to
defend their country and their honor Look
at that-(ponting to the American flag wreathed
in the centre of the platform THAT star is to-day
the emblem OF Chill cloud applause), and it is
the same star which shone like beacon at the
head OF the mast OF our little craft when 1t sailed
in sight of the whole Spanish fleet, and Obliged
the proud Spaniard to strike his colors. (Loup
and enthusiastic cheering). Another thing,
also must tell you, and that is that we in Chilli
are bound to conquer our enemies and win our
independence by our elves (cheers), and we ask
nobody to as ist us. And we also have Monroe
doctrine OF our own in South America. 1t is not
the Monroe doctrine which is advocated by
noble oratory, or by herv articles in the news
papers; it is the Monroe doctrine which we mean
10 enforce at the point OF the sword. cloud
cheeTIng.) Chill opposed the plan OF forming
| tripartrte pIoLeCtOrate upon the American con-
tinent, and IN the struggle of Peru went to her
assistance (cheers) and Chill has also sent gold
to Mexico to assist the noble adherents OF Juarez
(cheers) in the same free, liberal spirit in which
she had given the blood Of her sons to Peru.
| (CheeIs.) The idea OF the Monroe doctrine there
Is the same it is here-the idea of Justice and
not simply Of eXpediency. (Cheers.) That idea is
nothing more norless than that as lhOpe TO hear
| President Johnson say, no European power shall
| be permitted to erect a monarchical system
among the republics OF the New World. Cloud
| cheers.) In South America they do not look
|
| working Of the Monroe docGrlne-as a question
of boundary; they look upon it as the vital
| principle of the life of the nation. (Cheers.)
| That mighty will which created the tongue of
| lane which connects the two continents will not
| allow the ty,anny OF the strong to oppress the
| weak, and you will see that my beloved native
| land will not do the bidding of the naughty
| SpaniaTds (Cheers.) That same tongue of land
| Will show the freedom OF the New World to the
| slaves of the Old World -(cheers) and that the
march of tyranny must stop here, al the bidding
| of the Monroe doctrine. | believe, too that the
| Monroe doctrine viii ultimately be lett to the
| arbitration OF the men of the sword, and not
alone to the councils OF diplomacy. (Great
cheeIing.) Senor McKenna concluded his
strongly marked address amid an enthusiastic de.
| monstratlon.
THE TORPEDO BOATS.
Several OF the torpedo boats for the alleged fit
| ting out Of which McKenna and Rogers were
! arrested, are lying in the North river, one o.
| them on the Jersey side, near the Pavonia ferry.
They are both intended to deal destruction tc
any vessel with which they NAV come in con
tact and Il is believed that they were TO havr
been taken on board the Meteor had that vesse
succeeded in getting to sea. In regard TO the
connection of this estinternational sensation
with the Meteor the United States officers arc
very reticent, but enough, mas leaked out tC
justify us in saying that the arrest of McSennf
| and Rogers is result OF Investigations which
have been made relative to the character of thu
alleged Chiian privateer.
Senor McKenna's name, during the ChiliaI
| privateer excitement, appeared In connection
II with the Meteor case, and but very few of ou
readers who heard of the matter were aware o
the fact that Senor McKenna was really th
accredited political agent of the Chilian Repub
lie. Senior McKelna states that he has been tn
agent OF Chill in this country since last Novem
Der, and that when the proper time arrives h
will be fully able to prove that fact despite the
despatch OF the Chilian Minister at Washington
contradicting the official position of Mr.. Nc
Kenna. 1t is stated that there are guns con
cealed in the boilers of the Meteor, and that
ylgllant search has not been made by the Unitet
States officers who were ordered to inspect tn
vessel, The Meteor Is still i'm the possession o
the United States authorities, and 1t is no
likely that this last act of the Go geTnmen
will insure for the ill-lated vessel a speed
release. 1..' - -'f
