ment of the results of the investigation

ceived no less than eighteen wounds

etrating his lungs After giving full
list 90 tbs Baltinore-s crew who were
injured by the mob Mr.. Egan's state
meat called attention TO the fact that
thirty-five Of the cruisers crew were on
the day of the riots arrested, unneces-
sary violence being used by the police,
and that they were detained in
custody without due cause. In conclu-
sion, Mr.. Egan said that the sur
gcons of the United States warship ex-
pressed TN opinion that some of the
wounds inflicted upon the American
sailors were bayonct wounds, and that
this clearly showed that the police
officers OF Valparaiso, who were armed
with bayonets, took part in the attack.
The Americans were without arms
and practically defenseless.
Mr. Egan. in. presenting the Gillian
iunta with this statement OF the assault
on the American sailors, expressed in
distinct terms the feeling OF great in
diynation which the state department
at Washington feels at the whole
affair. and especially at the
brutal conduct of the police OF
Valparaiso in joining with the
mob in the lattcr's attack upon the
Baltimore's seamen and in drawing
their bayonets and using them against
the unarmed Americans Mr.. Egan

After making q brief but pointed
summary of the facts to which he had
been instructed to call attention, Min

of the junta that. in the name Of the
United States, he demanded reparation
for the insults and injuries complained
Of
Now the question which arises is,
What win be the action Of the Gillian
government? As appears now, there
seems To DO no doubt that the junta
will soon make the reparstion de-
manded Naturally the action taken
by Minister Egan Is attracting the at
tention OF the foreign ministers and OF
the foreigners generally who are resi-
dent in this repablic. The sympathy OF
the American colony is entirely with
Capt. Schley and his blue-jackets. and
they are one and all glad to receive the
news, made public Monday, that an
other United States war vessel, the
Boston, has actually sailed for these
waters Chilians try to smooth over
