CHILE REFUSES TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Oct. 2s.-The Chile
nn government has replied to Minister
Egan's demand for an explanation Of the
recent attack upon the American sailors
The reply is couched in very strong language
and it is understood taat it amounts
TO refusal to accept response
bility for the affair. The state
department. at Washington has been noti-
fed. Minister Egan, Commander Schley
aud Consul MeCreery are consulting to-
gether, and it is thought that decisive
action will be taken soon. The state de-
partment's orders In reference to the matter
are very strong. The entendente of Valpa-
raiso has refused to guarantee the
safety of market boats coming to that
city early in the moruing from the United
States warship Baltimore, or the safety OF
the officers of that vessel coming ashore at
night. There is practically q boycott on
the Baltimore. No American sailors are
allowed ashore. Great excitement has been
caused here by report that the Chilean le-
cation in Washington has been attacked.
