CH1IIAN LEGATION HERE TO REMAIN.
THE GOVERNMENT SUCCESSFULLY OPPOSES 4
PROPOSAL TO RECALL THE MINISTER

AT WASHINGTON.
London. Dec o." The Tines to-day publishes a
dispatch from It's correspondent at Santiago de Chill
saying that the "insultng, notes written to the Gov
ernment by Mr.. Egan, the United States Minister to
Chilli and his kilograms to his own Government
caused proposition be made that Chill suppress
her Legation at Washington. This proposition was
discussed at meeting Of the Finance Committee OF the
House Of Representatives last night, and heated
debate was had the question. The Government de-
cned TO support the proposal, and when the matter
was put to vote, those who in favor of recalling
the Chilian Minister to the United States and abol-
ishing the Legation at Washington were defeated
The Government made strong fight against the
adoption of the proposal.
The opposition Of the Chilian Government to the
motion made In the Finance Committee OF the Santiago
Chamber, in regard to the suppression OF the Legation
of Chill at Washington, is evidence Of the
ciliaory spirit in which the Cabinet OF President Mont
is working for the equitable and peaceful settlement Of
the pending difficulty between the United states and
Chill. 1t is the best reply that can be made to the
malicious rumors recently cabled here from Europe by
persons interested in causing esrangefnent between
the two American Republics. President Jorge Montt
has been represented being silently determined not to
enter into any arrangement in regard 10 the Baltimore
incident at Valparaiso Had his attitude been as thus
reported, lie and his Cabinet would not have made the
strong fight" which they have just madc success
fully. against the suppression Of the Gillian Legation at
Washington.
Moie idle and malicious reports Of every kind have
been circulated in respect to the recent In Chill
than in regard to any previous occurrence OF similar
sort Nearly all the diplomatic representatives In that
country were exposed to accusations coming from the
excited and imaginative brains Of interested foreigners
Dispatches from British sources spoke about the al
legged partiality of Mr. Egan and the pretended nfu
OF the Dreyfus claim the attitude Of the French
Minister. They did not even spare the English Min
lister himself who should have known good deal
about the shipping Of silver by Bamaceda on board
British naval vessel. The latest rumor referred to
some alleged doings Of the German Minister at san
tago. The truth will come out at last 1t has already
out in regard TO the report representing President
Mont strongly opposed TO any friendly arrangement
with the United States II had been said also that the
bodies OF BarbOsa and AlccIicca the two Bamaoedan
generals killed at the battle Of Placilla had been sub
jected to all kinds Of outrage by the mob at Valparaiso
where they were buried week after the battle. IL
is known however that the bodies not abandoned
the battlefield. but were buried the evening OF
the day OF the fight. The civil war in Chill has been
bloody enough. and II should not be necessary to be

at defeating prompt and friendly arrangement Of Ma
