The United States Formally Demands Sat-
is:action For the Murderous Assault
Made Upon the Baltilnors's Sailors at
yalparaiso-There May Be War.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-Secratary
Tracy said this morning that further
study of the cipher dispatch received
from Capt. Schley Of the Baltimore, on
Thursday, showed that, IN addition to
the killing Of one man and seriously
wounding six others, thlrty-hyc other
American seamen were arrested and de-
tanned by the Chilian authorities at the
time and that they were afterwards eX-
amined and dismissed. as there was no
proof that they had been guilty OF any
nisbehavloc.
This confirms Capt. Schley's other
statement that the Americans were un-
armed, sober and well behaved at the
time of the trouble and also indicates
that at least 40 men out Of the Baitl-
more's contingent OF 275 men were the
obiacts of the rage Of the mob. 1t also
appears now that up to the date OF Capt.
Sehley,s report the GILLIAN authorities
had taken no steps to arrest and punish
any Of the Chilians responsible for the
affair.
An official, thoroughly familiar with
all the facts in possession ofthe Govern
ment. pointed out this morning that it
was altogether different IN its material
feature from the Italian affair at New
Orleans, the men in one case being
practically citizens Of the United States,
while in the other they wore the United
States inform and were attacked for that
reason. He said that it was q delib-
crate INSULT to the American flag.
REDRESS DEMANDED.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 26.-John
Turnbull. another of the Baltimore's
men, died today. He had received no
less than twenty stab wounds, several
Of them penetrating his lungs.
Acting on instructions from Washing
ton, Minister Egan today, afler making
brief but pointed summary OF the facts
involved in the recent trouble, formally
demanded reparation from the govern
ment of Chile. Mr.. Esan expressed
IN distinct terms the feeling Of great in
dignaLlon which the State Department
at Washington feels at the whole affair."
and informed the Junta that this is no
informal suggestion; that his govern
ment expects some kind of satisfaction
tor the assault upon the Baltlmore's
crew. and demands an Immediate ex-
planatlon OF the whole adslr and repara-
ton for the inj uries inflicted.
The opinion prlvails among foreign
ministers that the Junta will imme-
diately make the reparation demanded.
The sympathy Of the foreign resld ents IS
entirely with Capt. SchIey, and Minister
Egan's action gives great satisfaction.

Stated Island; the Newark al Boston,

Five or six Of these vessels could be
made ready in three or tour days. and
the others with very little DELAY.
ANXIETY IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Oct. 2G.-The NJ ws OF the
critical relations between the United
States and Chile has excited lively inter-
est here, especially in circles Interested
in South American trade. AS English
capital virtually controls the nitrate de.
posits, and is established in that control
more hrmly than ever by the result OF
the war. there is a general desire ol the
part of those interested for peace. War
between the United States and Chile
would mean, sooner or late, blockade
of Chilean ports and interference with
foreign trade.
