The Story of the Riot.

after submitting the caDlegram recelVe0 from Captain Schley, of the United States steamship Baltimore. about the affray in Valparaiso between the American and Chilian sailors last week to the president, made public the substance of the dispatch. The dispatch from Captain Schley stated that he had made a careful investigation of the assault on our sailors on the 18th inst. The investigation shows that Petty Officer Charles RiRgen, while riding in 8 street car. was assaulted and dragged from the car and shot and murdered by . mob of about 100 men. Apprentice Talbot was assailed and cut dangerously several times in his back, two cuts penetrating his lungs. Coalheaver Itherson was robbed and cut dangerously in the back several times. Coalheaver Turnbul1 re- oeivsd eighteen wounds in the back, two penetrating his lungs. He is in critical condition Petty Officer Hamilton was wounded several times in the back and other parts of the body. Coalheaver Planter and Landsman Davidson were dangerously injured by an assault with clubs, stones and knives, and number of other men were dangerously injured.
 Bayoneted by Local Police.
 Thirty-ive seamen were arrested by the authorities, but what disposition was made of them cannot be learned from inability to translate the cipher dispatches. The surgeons of the Baltimore are of opinion that some of the wounds were inflicted by bayonets, showing clearly the participa- tion of the Chilian police.
 The American sailors were without arms and defenseless. The investigation shows that they were sober and were in no respect guilty of misbehavior. Two of the seri- ously wounded are still in the hospital

CHILL MUST SHOW CAUSE
Egan Demands Preparation for
 the Baltimore Outrage.
ANOTHER WOUNDED TAR DEAD.

He Was Stabbed in Twenty Places When
 Attacked by the Murderous Chilians.
 The Firm Attitude of the United States
 Is Applauded by Foreign Residents.
 SANTIAGO, Oct. N.-John Turnbull, an other of the Baltimore's wounded men, died yesterday. He had received no less than twenty stab wounds, several of them penetrating his lungs.
 Acting on instructions from Washing ton, Minister Egan after making a brief but pointed summary of all the facts in- volved in the recent trouble formally de- manded reparation from the government of Chilli.
 An Immediate Explanation Demanded.
 MT. Egan expressed in distinct terms the feeling of great indignation which the state department at Washington feels at the whole affair, and informs the junta that this is no informal suggestions; that his government expects some kind of sat isfaction for the assault upon the Balti- more's crew and demands an immediate explanation of the whole affair and repara- tion for the injuries inflicted.
 ERan's Action Applauded.
 The opinion prevails among foreign min- isters that the junta will immediately make the reparation demanded. The sym pathy of the foreign residents is entirely with Captain Schley, and Minister Egan's action gives great satisfaction.
 Secretary Blaine Investigates.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Secretary Blaine has taken in hand the Chilian correspond ence and has devoted almost his entire time since his return to the state depart ment to it's consideration and to mastering the details of the situation. He had not been long at his desk before he received . inet ministers went together to the White House and were in conference for nearly an hour with the president.
 The subject under consideration was the state of the Chilian dispute. Neither Sec retary Blaine nor Secretary Tracy cared to say anything for publication in regard to the conference or the future course of the ad administration.
 An Order for tho Navy.
 Shortly after the secretaries had left the White House, however, an order was re- ceived at the navy department to prepare at once list of all vessels with their dc scription which can be got into Chilian waters within ninety days, and this indi- cates that the government will be pre- pared to make a show of naval strength if 1t shall be needed.
 There will be no hasty action of any kind. The administration will wait pa tiently for Minister Egan's report of the result of the examination which is now be- ing conducted by the Chilian authoritiea and will give every opportunity for the Chilians to make satisfactory explana- tion if possible. Nothing further can b. done by our government until it is evident what Chili's intentions are.

amid much applause and enthusiasm and
swept grandly towards the blue waters
OF the Adriatic. 1t was not the inten-
ton of tho aeronaut to be carried out TO

seen to he vigorously pulling at the en-
haust or safety valve. Tho rope Of tho
latter, however, did not seem to work
properly and the balloon and its occu-
pants were slowly but steadily Carried
seward.
Finally the balloon was seen lowering
over tho Adriatic, and cry Of horror
arose from the crowd, who had followed
the course of the balloon, when the
aeronaut was suddenly seen 10 fall
headlong from tho car, and after whirl-

fortunate man. Tho balloon, relieved
