Blame In WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-Secretary
Blaine and party arrived in Washington
this afternoon on the congressional ex-
press via the Pennsylvania railroad. The
secretary appeared somewhat fatigued
from the effects of his journey, but greeted
his friends cordially. Later a reporter
called at his house and met the secretary
at the door on his way to take a carriage
to call on the president. In response to
an inquiry as to his health, the secretary
said he was feeling very well, but as to
other matters he declined to talk.
Later in the evening an Associated
Press reporter called at the Blaine resi-
dence and upon expressing surprise at his
apparent good health, the secretary said
he was in much better condition than
when he left Washington; In fact, he had
rarely felt better in his life. He had
spent a very pleasant hour with the pres
ident, during which time they conversed
upon various subjects.

A STIFF UPPER LIP
Shown by the United States
Government to Chile.
Reparation Must be Made for
the Insults.
Diplomacy Will be Backed by
Warships.
chile Must Make Keparauon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Further per-
sistent inquiry of officers OF the govern
ment in regard to the Valparaiso incident
shows conclusively that the administration
does not regard it a simple street brawl for
which the Chilean government cannot be
held responsible, but as an insult to the
honor and flag of the United States, call
ing for most vigorous diplomatic treat
ment. An official report by Capt. Schley
shows clearly not only that the assault
upon the American sailors was cowardly
and unprovoked, but was inspired purely
by hatred for the uniform they wore and
the country 1t represented, or, in other
words, was not an attack or them as indi-
viduals, but as representatives of the
United States. The report also indicates
that the local police, instead of protecting
the Americans from the violence of the
mob, were in several instances in the on
slaught.
This, the report says, is demonstrated
by the fact that several sailors were
wounded by bayonets such as are usually
carried by the Chilean police. The fact
that the only persons arrested were thirty
five American sailors. who escaped injury
at the hands OF the mob, strengthens the
view that the assault was intended as an
insult to the United States. The informa-
ton at hand shows that so far none of the
Chileans concerned in the attack have
been arrested and so far as known no
steps have been taken 10 punish them in
any way for their action.
The authorities at Washington are very
Indignant at the apparent Indifference dis
played by the Chilean government, and
Minister Egan has been instructed to take
prompt aud vigorous measures to secure
proper reparation. He has been fully
ADVISED OF the position of this government
and instructed to acquint the Chilean gov
ernment Herewith in the hope that mat
tiers may be amicably adjusted without
detrlment to the honor OF either country.
1t Is understood the president insists
on proper redress for the supposed insult
to our national honor. and unless given in
seasonable time Minister Egan will be re-
called and all diplomatic relations with
Chile suspended. Secretary Tracy said
this afternoon that no more vessels had
been ordered to Chile, and he did not
know that any would be sent. The York
town is now on the way there and the
Boston Is starting. Neither can reach
there within a month.
The San Francisco Is at Callao, only
four days sail from Valparaiso, but has
not been ordered there. Neither has
another available vessel-the Thetis-now
at San Francisco. Sailing orders of the
Boston and Yorktown were issued before
the attack on the sailors and the main
purpose of their detail was to relieve the
Baltimore and San Francisco, which
vessels are to go to San Francisco when
relieved to be locked and oy%erhauled. 1t
would seem therefore the W. rnmen
does not care to make any belligerent
demonstration towards Chile, but pre-
iers to show its displeasure through
diplomatic channels.

The Sidney Bell Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-On the
night of Aug. &c. 1890. Samuel jacobson,
a trunk manufacturer, was shot and killed
at the door of his residence by unknown
persons. Subsequently Sidney Bell and
Edward Campbell we're arrested for the
crime and on May 7, last, Bell was con-
victed OF murder in the first degree,
Campbell and Charles Schmidt, who had
been arrested for burglary, being the chief
witnesses against him. Schmidt alleged
that while confined in the county
jail Bell had confessed the muir
der to him. Schmidt was arraipped
in the superior court today on two
charges OF burglary and District Attorney
Barnes read two long communications
from Schmidt wherein the latter claimed
to be innocent of the charges and stated
that he pleaded guilty for reasons best
known to the district attorney. He
charged the district attorney with having
prompted him to give the testimony
against Bell on the promise of release
and claimed that Campbell boosted of his
wife's influence with Judge Murphy, be-
fore whom the case was tried, with the
district attorney and the police officials,
Schmidt accused Campbell of using
fraudulent means to secure Bells
conviction and his own release and
declared he had good reason to believe
Bell had never committed the crime for
which he is to hang. District Attorney
Barnes denounced Schmldt's statements
as false and part OF a conspiracy to save
Bells life. He asked leave TO file the
communication as part of the courts rec
ords, but Judge Trout denied the
motion, holding that the letters were
scurrilous and irrelevant. Schmidt
pleaded not guilty to the charge OF
burglary and the case went over for a
week.

A Misund Outstanding as to the Invitation
to Seattle.

Yesterday evening dispatch was re-
ceived by Mayor White from Councilman
Dowlen, of Victoria, 3. c., saying:
Kindly wire us when we may expect Sc
attle's council contingent" This dispatch
was sent by Mayor White to the members
of the city council sitting as committee.
1t was the first intimation the council had
that any invitation had been extended
that body. City Clerk Miller had
received one from the city clerk of Victoria
addressed to himself and Mrs. Miller, and
the mayor had received a similar invita-
ton, but no others had arrived. The
mayor remarked, in sending the dispatch.
that when the mayor of Victoria was in
Seattle on the occasion of President Har-
rison's reception, he had expressed the
wish that the mayor and council of the
city would join the colonists in their cell
ebration of the queens birthday, but he
confessed lie had not regarded that as a
formal invitation sufficient to justify him
in asking the members of the council to go.
A dispatch is to be sent to the mayor of
Victoria this morning, explaining that
there is evidently a misunderstanding.
The receipt of an explanatory reply will
be cordially acknowledged and large
number of the council will 60 to Victoria
