CHILE STILL HOSTILE
Increasing Bitterness Against
the United States.
Ag BmiGabl0 Settlement Of the Trouble Not
Probable.
Naval Officers Anxious for a Chance to ATHHS8
the Murder Of American Sailors,
Sensational RumOTS Denied.

SANTIAGO Chile, Oct. 30-It is generally
admitted here that the situation of affairs in
regard to the dispute between the United
States and Chile has not improved. In fact
the anti-American feeling is growing in Bit
terness and all the American officials In
Chile are apprehensiye that further trouble
Is brewing. The exact nature of this
trouble they are unable to define, but they
see little prospect that an amicable settle
ment of the Valparaiso incident will soon
be reached, and signs of increasing popular
animOsity toward the United States give
grounds for apprehension and indignation.
AN INSULT TO THE UNITED STATES.
United States Minister Egau. Captain
Sehley Of the Baltimore and William B. Me-
Creery, United States Consul at VALPARAISO,
were in close consultation throughout the
day, and though it is not possible to obtain
any definite statement from them for pub
licatiOn regarding the nature of the result Of
their long deliberations it can be said that
they all consider the reply Of the Junta to
Minister Egan's note asking for proper
explanation of the Valparaiso collision as
decidedly insulting to the United States
Government. 1t is also known that they re-
gard the situation at present as serious.
The reply Of the Junta, they think, means
practically that Chile is indignant at the
demands made by the United States Gov
eminent; that she will take her own time
10 consider the matter, and the Junta has
reached the conclusion that the Government
will settle the matter without reference to
the views Of tine United States on the sub
ieet The reply Of the Junta, they further
say, fails to express any regret for the muir
der of the Baltimore's men. nor is there 10
that document any expression of regret as
to the conduct Of the police in using bayo-
nets in arresting the BaltimOre's men.
While the United States officials here are
justly indignant their indignation is as
nothing to that felt by American residents
In Chile.
PROTECTION TO AMERICANS.
It is learned to-day that the United States
cruiser Baltimore is prepared to enforce. if
such course is found necessary, the proper
treatment for her officers and sailors who
may be compelled by the necessities of tie
service to go ashore. it is not meant by this
that Captain Sehley will in any way irrltate
the Chi.eans by sending men or officers
ashore when it is evident they will not be
welcome there. On the contrary, everything
possible will be done by the Baltmore's
commander to avoid any trouble. But for
marketing, provisioning, watering. the in
terchange Of messages between the COM
mander and tho United States Minister and
other necessary duties men and officers
have to 90 ashore, and Captain Schley will,
if he fluids 1t necessary, send armed men
ashore and take other steps to insure their
protection.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE BY CHILEANs.
1t has just become known there is an
other feature Of the Valparaiso outrage
which demands explanation. The munich
pal and Government officers of Valparaiso
who made the investigation of the attack
upon the sailors of the Baltimore compelled
the United States men-of-war's men who
were confined in prison to sign statement,
written in Spanish, generating the police
from all responsibility as to their arrest.

the hestipulations for the release Of the blue
jackets, the men naturally did as they were
requested. Another point which is not
serving to allay the Ill feeling is the fact
that no courtesy Of any kind was shown to
United States naval officers or men upon
the occasion of the funeral Of Turnbul. the
second man of the Baltimore's crew WHO
died from the effects Of the injuries he re-
eeived during the riotous attack made upon
the blue jackets
