The department of state received a
telegram this morning. from Minister
Egan, dated Santiago, Chile, October
/ 18th, in which he gives the following re-
J ply OF the Chilean government to the
presidents telegram of October 23d,
asking for reparation for the recent
!, murder OF an American sailor In Valpa-
raiso: Minister of foreign affairs replies
that the government of the United
States form mulates q demand and ad-
, vances threats that, without being cast
back with impunity, are not acceptable,
nor could they be accepted IN the pres
ent case or In any other Of like nature.
He does not doubt, the sincerity, rectl-
tude or expertness of the investigation
on board the Baltimore, but will recos-
nlze only the jurisdiction and authority
or his own government to judge and
punish the guilty in chilean territory"
He says tie administrative and judicial
authorities have been investigating uu-
der the Chilean law in secret. and the
time Is not yet arrived 10 make known
the results. When that time does arrive
ho will communicate the results, al
though he does not recognize any other
authority competent to judge criminal
cases than that established by the Chill
can people.
| Until the time arrives to disclose the
result OF the investigation he cannot ad-
NIT that the disorders in Valparaiso or
the silence OF his department should ap-
pear as an expression OF unfriendliness
toward the government Of the United
States, which might put in peril the
friendly relations between the two
| countries.
Up to the hour when the above state
ment was made public no reply had
been made to it. What will be the ma
ture of the Secretary Blaine's reply is
| altogether matter of conjecture. The
most plausible theory advanced is that
| the suggestions courteously and diplo-
matically conveyed in Acting Secretary
Wharton's dispatch, that this govern
ment had 70 doubt an investigation
| would be made and reparation accorded,
| will now be renewed in the shape of a
stern and formal demand for some i'm
mediate assurance OF proper action on
the part OF the junta, and il these are
not forthcoming Minister Egan will take
passage on the Baltimore for the United
States, thus severing diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Chile.
