Chile and the United States.
New York, October 22i.-Ths World's
Washington special says: Inqpi:ies at
official headquarters develop the TACT that tae
Chilean authorities in Peru. if it be true thst
they have undertaken TO set aside by sheer
force the Government OF Cslderon. recognized
bv the United States and by other civilized
Powers. have put themselves into position
which Will compel this Government to bold
them to q prompt and sharp account. The
Government Of Chile was distinctly notified
Ia an official manner OF the wishes and fest-
iugs Of the United States two months ago by
tbs Minister of the United States, at the re-
quest OF Adairal Lynch himself, the Chilean
Commander at Lima. On the 24th of August
last. Admiral Lynch made an official call
uncn the Minister Of the United States in
Lima, the ehjact Of which was TO obtain
from him plain statement of the policy of
the American Government In regard TO
the questions at issue between Chile and
Peru. General Huritut had long coz
yersation with him, speaking in accordance
with his special instructions as Minister.
received from Secretary Blaine before
sailing for Peru. The substance of this con-
versation was next day reduced to writing by
the American Minister, and sent TO the
Chilean Commissioner, by whom ii was
transmitted st once to the Chilean Govern
ment at Santiago. Ia the memoranda Of this
conversation, which is published in full in the
World the opinion is expressed that the act
of taking possession OF Peruvian territory
and annexing it TO Chile, whether simply by
force of arms or by debating the same, at
the cessation Of hostilities, is open to the
construction Of the charge by other nations
that Chile has entered upon path OF aggres-
sion and conquest, for the purpose of terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. This document was
communicated to the other Foreign Ministers
in Peru, and within few days after it had
been handed to Admiral Lynch, the represent
alive Of the leading European Powers at Lima
are understood to have sigui6ed their cordial
concurrence in the views of the United States.
It is thought hardly credible here that with
in two mouths, aud without previous
notice given to the United States, line OF
conduct SO grossly at variance with that here
practiced, should have been adopted by the
Chilean authorities. The order OF Lynch,
under which the Calderon Government is re-
ported at Panama to have ceased to exist, is
differently construed here. That order de-
clares that no other authorities exist in Peru
except those established by Lynch in districts
occupied BY Chilean forces, and does not in
any way affect the Calderon Government,
which is not mentioned in IT, That Govern
ment, in the nature of things, can't be other
than il has been. Whatever motive the
United States had months ago for recognizing
it. it has at present, and with greater force,
because its popularity has increased. 1t has
been recognized by all other Governments.
It's recognition by the army in ths South, re-
ceived two weeks later than the steamer
news published Taursday, shows not only the
continued existence of the Government but
the additional support it Is receiving IN the
country and its increased material strength
The news published Thursday, via Panama,
seems to have been elaborated for sensational
purposes.
