Dies - Captain schIeys Report
The Diplomatic Tension.

! SANTIAGO, Chilli, Dot. 26.-The United
! states government to-day, through Minis
ter Egan, formally demanded PREPARATION
from the government of Chill for the at
TACK recently made in Valparaiso upon a
NUMBER OF seamen of the United States
cruiser Baltimore.
Egan presented the iunta with u detailed
statement of the results of the inyestips-
ton made by Captain Schley, of the Balti-
more, and himself These investigations
snow Charles Rfggau, one of the Balti-
llore's petty officers, was brutally assaulted
oy several Chllians while riding In street
car. Rigean resisted, but was dragged
from the car and murdered in the arms of
MS companions. Turnbull, another of the
Baltlmore's wounded men who died TO-DAY
from his injuries, received no less than
eighteen STAB wounds in the back, two of
them penetrating the lungs.
AFTER giving full list OF the Baltimore's
crew injured by the mob, Egan's statement
| called attention to the fact that thirty five
OF the cruisers crew were on the dav of
tne riots arrested, unnecessary violence
oelng used by the police, and detained in
custody without due cause. In conclusion,
bagan SAID the surgeons OF the Baltimore
expressed the opinion that some of the
Wounos inflicted upon the American sailors
were bayonet wounds, and this clearly
! showed The police officers of ValparaisoH
VINO are armed with bayonets-took part
IN the attack. The Americans We're with
OUT arms and practically defenseless.
hgan IN presenting the Gillian iunta
Win thls statement expressed in distinct
terms the feeling of great indignation
"hlcn the state department at Washington
1eel at the whole affair, and especially at
the brutal conduct of the police of Val
psralso IN joining with the mob in the
latters attack upon the Baltimore's sea-
men and in drawing their bayonets and
using them against the unarmed Ameri-
cans. Egan also particularly called atten-
ZION 10 the additional brutality of the police
Oh valparaiso In using horses to drag the
Americans TO prison. After making a
Drle1 out pointed summary of the facts to
Whlch ne had been instructed to call atten-
ton, Egan informed the re Jresentatiyes of
lunta that IN the name of the United States
ne demanded reparation for the insults and
Injuries complained OF.
NOW the question which arises is, What
Will De the action OF the CHILEAN govern
ments AS appears now, there seems no
oouot the Junta will soon make the repar-
alton demanded. Naturally, the action
taken to-day by Minister Egan, is attract
ing the attention of foreign ministers and
foreigners generally, who are resident in
the republic. The sympathy of the Ameri-
can colony is entirely with Captain Schley
and his blue jackets, and they are one and
all glad TO receive the news, made public
To-day, that another United States war
vessel, the Boston, had &C ually sailed for
these waters. The Chilians try to smooth
over the assault upon and Imprisonment
OF the American sailors by CHASING it as a
streetroW.
Up to the present time the junta has ex-
pressed no regret for the attack made on
the American sailors.
