ttS assertion that Senior Alontt has been
instructed by the CHILEAN governments
demand the recall of Egan-a demand
which is so manifestly the proper one
TO be made and insisted on as to afford
In itself intrinsic evidence that the
Ecening Posts private source of infor-
nation is thoroughly reliable. The Post
said yesterday on this point:
In spite of the inspired denials that Min
ister Egan is to be withdrawn from
Santiago, all the indications point to his
recall as soon rs the danger of its being
accepted by voters of the country as con-
tession of error on the sort of the admins
tration has been dissipated. He wilt be
retained for effect, purely, few days
longer and when the withdrawal comes,
the Chilians will accept it as sign that
we are not so ill-disposed towards them as
We like to make it appear.
This has very much the appearance of
having been suggested by some one in
possession of the information that the
inspired denial of this morning was to
be promulgated, and at the same time
sufficiently confident OF the ultimate
recall of Egrn TO controvert in advance
the mere verbal import of the following,
which figures conspicuously in this
mornings Washington news:
1t is authoritatively stated that no com.
plant has been received by the state de-
partment from the CHILEAN government Of
the conduct of Mr.. Egan. and that his
recall has not been considered by the
President or Secretary of State.
Reading between the lines and taking
into consideration the abundant cause
for provocation which Egan has given
the Gillian provisional government, we
repeat that the probability is that the
E0entag Post is right in the main and
the Washington denial is ingeniously,
or shall we say automatically, worded
to convey a misleading impression. If
the Chilians have not instructed their
new minister to demand Egan's recall,
they certainly must be a patient and
long-sutfering people indeed. 1t was
nothing short of an insult to a then
friendly nation to send Egan there in
the first place. A man of no character;
fugitive from justice, coming to this
country charged with the misappro-
priation of Land League funds; with
out any diplomatic training; totally in
competent in every respect; who had
taken out his naturalization papers only
few months before he was selected BY
Secretary Blaine, as sop thrown to the
Irish Republicans, for this important
mission; going to Chilli as the tool Of
the man who ten years ago had brought
the United States to the very verge of war
with Chilli over the exorbitant Landreau
claims-a matter this government had
nothing under heaven to do with, Lam
Areau not even being an American citi-
zen-a war that was only averted by
the death of President Garfield and the
superseding of Blaine by Frelinghuysen,
who at once revoked Blaine's instruc.
tons to Trescott and Walker Blaine ;
such was the man and the circumstances
under which he was unloaded on Chilli
In 1859. How he has since made himself
ohnoxious-perhaps it would not be toe
much to say designedly and persistently
obnoxious-to the CHILEAN people has
been abundantly told within the past
few weeks. Take the evidence OF the
Valparaiso special in to-day's Philadel.

Corroborative information is abundant
elsewhere, but we select the Press AS a
