BAD BLOOD in CHILE.
THE AGITATION AGAINST AMERI-
CANS RENEWED.
Attacks on Admiral Brown Still Kept Up.
American Residents in Chile Highly
Indignant-Egan Still Wrangling With
the Junta.

NEW ORk, DeC. Z.-lue COTTeSpONu-
ent of the Associated Press by mail from
Chile, under date of October 2Sth,
speaks Of the renewal of the agitation
against Americans, and particularly
Minister Egan, since the arrival of New
York and other papers to September
Goth. The papers of Santiago and Val
paraiso have been publishing American
press comments. The attacks against
Admiral Brown are still being
kept up, and the papers are
making much OF dispatch from
Admiral Veil, former intendente OF VAL
paraiso, to Balmaceda the day after the
landing OF the troops at Quintero. In
it Admiral Veil informed Balmaceda
that Admiral Brown expressed the be-
lief that the Congressional troops would
not re-embark, at that time the gov
ernment forces were inclined to believe
the landing OF the troops at Quintero
was q mere feint, and that they intended
to re embark and effect another landing
south of Valparaiso.
The American residents OF Chile,
whose sympathies were with the Con-
gressional party during the war, ex-
press indignation at the conduct of the
provisional government in regard to
certain matters in which the American
government is interested, and also the
hostile attitude of the public towards
the United States.
Referring to the Baltimore massacre,
the correspondent says the attack was
brutal and cowardly in the extreme, and
it is believed it was made merely be-
cause the men were Americans. There
is also good reason to believe that the
affair was premeditated. The attack
was made not only by sailors of Chilean
warships and boatmen and other
rough characters who infest the
low saloons along the water front,
but also by the police of Valparaiso,
who made no effort to stop it, but
ioined in the assault upon the Ameri-
can sailors.
Up to the date OF the letter corre-
spondence between Minister Egan and
| the junta was still going on regarding
the refugees in the legation. The
American and Spanish legations are the
only ones containing refugees. The
Spanish minister has five of Balmace-
da's supporters under his protection,
and has taken the same stand that
Egan has, and during the controversy
was in harmony with him at all times.
A sensation has been created by the
publication of a notice by shree brothers
of Aldusatte, minister of foreign rela-
tions under Balmadeda, who surren-
dered after the fall of Valparaiso, and
who was afterward killed and his dead
body left on the roadside mutilated in q
horrible manner. The explanation was
made at the time by those in whose
charge he was, that he had been
shot while attempting to escape. His
| three brothers, who were active mem
bers OF the Congressional party, now
announce that they have discovered
beyond doubt that hewas deliberately
murdered. They demand an official
investigation, and claim that they will
show that their brothers. death was
caused by order OF persons. now in
authority in the provisional govern
ment.
NEW YoRK, Dec. "a Valparaiso
cable to the Herald says: Commander
Evans of the United States cruiser
Yorktown visited the intendente today in
reference to the advisability of permit
ting the sailors OF his vessel to come
ashore. The intendente assured Com
mander Evans that he would insure th'
safety OF American seamen, but ad
vised that they be not allowed
to land in large numbers a
any one time. AT the examination
