VALPARAISO, CHILL, via GALVESTON,
TEX, Sept. 30.-I am enabled to send
you further particulars of the trouble
between the authorities at Santiago and
Minister Egan.
1t appears that the American legation
and its vicinity were watched by the
police during all of last week. On last
Friday three Americans, as cabled you,
were placed under arrest.
Their names are Hillmann, Madden
and Rayprast. They had visited Mr..
Egan at the legation and were on their
way back when taken into custody.
Messrs. Hiilmann and Madden made q
business call. Mr.. Rayprast had gone
4 70 the legation to obtain letters.
, : All three were locked up. Mr.. Ray
prast was kept in prison for some hours.
Messrs. Hillmann and Madden were
taken to the intendencia and detained
for short time, when they were re-
/, leased.
{. ARREST OF MR.. EGAN's SERVANTS.
In addition to this two of Minister
Egan's servants were throwninto prison
and kept there for two days, being re-
leased on Saturday. understand that
there has been an active exchange Of
cables between Minister Egan and the
United States state department since the
\ commission of these unfriendly acts.
The vigorous protest Of the American
minister caused the Junta to withdraw
its police, as | cabled you.
Commodore Schley, of the Baltimore
which still lies in the harbor of Valpa.
raise, is now at Santiago IN conference
with Minister Egan. have no means
at present of finding out the result Of
their meeting.
NOT SANCTIONED BY THE CABINET.
J Now that the trouble between the
Junta and the United States minister
/ has quoted down and chance is af
forded OF reviewing the events of tn,
| past few days, it is my impartial con
vlctlon that the actions of which Minis
ter Egan has had reason TO complain
We're taken by irresponsible officials.
There does not appear to have beer
any sanction by the Juntas cabinet o
the police espionage and arrests. Ii
fact, am informed on what deem til,
best of authority that a majority of tn,
cabinet discountenanced the proceeding
and are DESTROYS that the utmost peac
should prevail throughout the country
so as to regain all of Chili's forme
prestige.
! For this reason they are avoiding, S,
far as in their power, all troubles Will
Outside nations.
BRITISH INTERESTS SAFE.
In interviews with number of promi
nent merchants here, native and foreign
learn that the bulk of English none,
invested in Chill is in Tarapaca nitrat
q beds. If the slightest gratitude exists il
the CHILEAN Congressionalists for IN
marked sympathy and support of tn
English people in this country durin
the war British investors may conside
themselves as perfectly safe.
II is not likely that any more none,
Will be invested here until the cours
shaped out by the new government, t
be taken after the elections are over, ha
become manifest. The coal lands il
the south Of Chilli are the only apparen
fields that will repay future Investment
Nothing more is now wanted in tn
nitrate fields.
CLAIMS BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
In the near future aggregate claims q
from $1,500,000 to 81 100000 will b
presented by the English, German
Spanish and Italian governments fo
houses and property destroyed O
lquique when that town was bombarie
and at Valparaiso when this city wa
sacked after the overthrow of Balanced,
also for losses caused by detentions 1
shipping and for the use of private raj
roads during the past eight months.
AS an example of the bitter feelin
entertained by the masses of this cit
toward the American government
might cite their conduct at the theatl
