A CHILEAN VIEW OF THE FRICTION.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-The animesity felt by
the Chilean residents here against the
United States is reflected in an interview
with prominent member Of the Chilean
community in Paris. who attributes the
enmity OF the American government to the
Chilean refusal to enter the customs union
proposed by Secretary Blaine. Said this
Chilean: Several Chilean statesmen sx-
changed views with Mr.. Blaine, assuring
him that as soon as there was visible auy
advantage that the United States could
grant Chile in return for the surrender oi
her European trade the proposed Gus
toms union would have some chance
OF acceptance. Unable to do this, the
Washing gton government would not forgive
the Chilean resistance TO their pet scheme Of
a zollverein.
PURSUIT OF THE ITATA.
Their spite was shown in the pursuit OF
the Itata, which was treated like a slave
dhow. 1t required all the authority of the
Paris agents of the Chilean congress, nu-
msrous kilograms having been sent by them
to the commander of the Esmeralda, to pre-.
vent the Esmeralda from fighting the
United States cruiser Charleston.
Further proof of their hostility
is found in the action of the United States
admiral in Watching the insurgents al
Quiutero aud reporting their movements to
ex-President Balmaceda. Tie attitude Of
the United States over the sailor affray is
nnjustiiable. The United States govern.
ment ought to have awaited the result of
the official Chilean inquiry, relying upon
the operation Of Chilean Justice, which ID
equal, il not superior, to American Justice
The reports that the Valparaiso police used
baycnets must be 9roundless, for their only
weapon is e staff"
EGAN AND THE ADMIRAL BLAMED.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-The correspondent Of
the Times at Valparaiso telegraphs az fol.
lows: Evidence gathered from all hands
appears conclusively to prove that the
American squadron acted the part of spies
for ex-President Balmaceda, and that,
second only to the dictator's troops
the mcst effective assistance to
the cause of oppression was
received from Minister Egan, the American
squadron and the Washington adninistra-
ton, the two latter having probably been
deceived by Minister Egan from the
first. | have absolutely verified
from ex-offieial sources Minister Egan's
ex-President Balmaceda. The concensus OF
documentary aud other evidence compeIs a
belief in the accuracy of the charge that
Admiral Brown impaired the result OF his
visit to Quinteros to ex-Presideut Bal
maceda's officials. Admiral Browns state
ment that he took a British naval officer
to Quinteros is untrue. The warshrps
OF all the other nations declined to accom-
paDy him. At Coquinbo received proofs
that the Americans described the situation
Of the copgressiopalist troops and feet in
Northern Chile. The American cable was
cut at Iquiuue, under the protection of an
American mau-of-war, to enable ex-Presi-
dent BalmacedA to control opinion abroad.
The feeling Of the nation under the circum-
stances may easily be understood, but the
Chileans Of all classes separate the American
nation from its representatives connected
with these gross aggravations. 1t can be
proved not an unfouEded charge that Min
ister Egan TO cover his unenviable posi-
tion, has addressed three hostile notes to
the Chilean government. hoping to create
difficulties in subsidiary questions under the
shelter of which he and Mr.. Blaine might
escape. The government is acting with the
greatest prudence and will endeavor to sat
isfy all just demands of the United States,
ignoring the inSolent attitude of Minister
Egan. Mr.. Blaine in partnership with
Mr.. Egan has succeeded in leaving an i'm
perishable landmark In South Ameri-
/, can history which neither the pam
American conference nor an intercolonial
railway can efface. The alleged dying
declaration of ex- President Balmaceda
respecting the oounsels given him by Mr..
Egan and other declarations upon the
United states affairs are pure inventions
