SANTIAGO DE CHILL. Oct. 26-The United
States Government to-day. through Minister
Egnn. formally demanded reparation from the
Government OF Chill for the attack recently
made in Valparaiso upon a number Of the sea-
men OF the United States cruiser Baltimore.
The demand made by the United States Min
lister Is no informal suggestion that the Gov
ernment at Washington expects some kind Of
satisfaction for the killing and wounding OF
the Baltimore's sailors. It is q friendly noti-
hcatfon. given according to direct orders re-
ceived from the State Department at Wash
ington. that the United States demands an i'm
mediate explanation Of the whole affair and
reparation for the injuries inflicted.
Acting upon the instructions sent to him
from Washington Mr.. Egan presented the
Chilian Junta with detailed statement Of the
results of the investigation made by Capt
Schley OF the Baltimore aud by Mr.. Egan him
SELL These investigations had shown that
Charles RigGan, one Of the Baltimore's petty
ofncers. was brutally assaulted by several
Chlilns whilo he was riding on q street car
Rigsan resisted. but was dragged from the car
and murdered By n pistol shot while in the
arms OF his companions
Turnbull. another Of the Baltimore's wound
ed men who died to-day from his injuries. re-
ceived no less than eighteen stab wounds in
the back. two OF them penetrating his lungs.
After giving full list Of the Baltimore's
crew who were injured by the mob. Mr.. Egan's
statement called attention to the fact that
thirty-fve OF the cruisers crew were on the
day OF the riots arrested. unnecessary violence
being used by the police. and that they were
detained in custody without due cause.
In conclusion. Mr.. EGan said that tho sur
Gcons Of the United States war ship expressed
the opinion that some Of the wounds inflicted
upon the American sailors were bayonet
wounds, and that this clearly showed that the
police officers OF Valparaiso, who are armed
with bayonets. took part in the attack.
The Americans were without arms and
practically defenceless.
Mr.. Egan. In presenting the Chilian Junta
with this statement of the assault on the
American sailors. expressed in distinct terms
the feeling of great Indignation which the
whole affair and especially at the % brutal Il cons one
the mob in the lattsr's attack upon the Balti-
nores seamen and in drawing their bayonets
and using them against the unarmed
AmericaHs.

Of the facts to which he had been instructed
to call attention. Minister Egan informed the
OF the United States. he demanded repsration
for the insults and injuries complained of.

There seems to be no doubt that the Junta
will soon make the reparation demanded.

LONDON. Oct B-The demand OF the United
States on Chill receives attention in the morn
cruiser Boston coincident with the demand md

hardly more responsible FOR the actions Of the
mob in VALPARAISO than the Washington Gov:
ernElent cCuSlueteu ltSel1 IOr the lynchiDg OF
the Italians at New Orleans. Strong powers
ought to make allowances for new Govern
ments struggling 70 maintain authority.
Tho 81 JdneS's Gazette argues that the United
States are not blameless in the matter. II was
an insult to appoint as their representative at
Valparaiso Patrick Egan. who applied the
methods Of the Irish League to diplomacy.
President Harrison should not be surprised II
Chilli should ask for his recall before comply
ing with the American demand for satisfac-
ton.
The Pail Nall Gazette says the United States
seem to be rather in q hurry in their demand
for com pensation. President Harrison's die
tnm is like the yapooring 9t Old Worlds lingo.
The states can well afford to be patient with
out detriment to their rights or dignity.
The fbst this morning says: The diplo-
matte tension between Chill and the United
States has reached n point where it may
easily end in II rupture. While the Chilian
insurgents. having undertaken the govcrn-
ment OF the country. are bound to accept
responsibility for the recent events, which,
il they hrppened between two European states,
would have resulted in war within twenty
four hours unless annie reparation was
made. 1t may lie hoped that President Har-
rison is Inclined to admit in behalf Of
Chilli those extenuating circumstances which
sho cannot plead on her own account. What
the Washington Government failed to effect in
the case OF the New orleans lyncherS the
Chilian Government may be poweress to per-
form in the case OF the Valparaiso mob. 1t is
always open to the strong to be merciful"
