VALPARAISO, Chilli, (via Galveston, Tex,
Nov. 11.-lBy Mexican Cable to the New
York Herald-Special to The BEE. -There
is considerable GOODNESS at present between
the Gillian authorities and the British min
lister, Mr.. Kennedy. It dates from Sunday,
November 1, All Saints day, which was
made the occasion of a grand demonstration
In honor of those who lost their lives while
in the service of the iunta previous to the
downfall of Balamaceda. A great throng
visited the cemetery at Santiago to heap
floral tributes on the graves of the dead
heroes.
Among the visitors was Minister Kennedy
who also was intent on decorating som
graves. His coach became blocked at the
entrance to the cemetery, preventing the
passage of many other carriages behind him.
In consequence there was a great deal OF
confusion. The coachman, swellod up with
prlue from the fact that he was driving the
British diplomatist, refused to move when
called upon to do so by the populace which
was much annoyed at the blockade. In con-
sequence of the coachman's stubbornness a
row ensued, during which he found it advis-
able to leave his seat and seek safety in flight.
Minister Kennedy's coach was somewhat
damaged by coilidlng with other
vehicles whose occupants insisted
upon getting the right of way,
This unpleasant incident of the days cele-
bratlon put Mr.. Kennedy into an indignant
frame of mind, and ever since he has evil
denced a spirit of unfrlendliness towards the
auth orities.
Every one in Santiago is laughing over the
idea that such a trlde should be regarded by
Minister Kennedy as an insult to British
dignity. Nevertheless he seems determined
to so look upon it.
Some Able Bodied Liars.
The correspondents of certain European
newspapers seem bent upon doing all in their
power to create MISUNDERSTANDING between
Chilli and the United States. and even boast
that such a motive inspires their articles.
They make no secret Of their desire to incul-
pate Minister Egan in every lnnuendo that is
started against the United States, aud say
that they will publish everything which in
their opinion will give the world the impress
sion that the American representatives un-
duly supported Balmaceda.
Copies Of the Herald containing the story
of Mr.. William r. Grace's connection with
the shipment of arms to Balmaceda have just
been received here, and have created quite a
ripple OF excitement in Chill, as MIR. Eyre,
the representative of Grace 81 Co.'s firm
here, is a staunch Britisher and has figured
throughout the late war as a firm friend of
the junta. He has also made himself very
prominent on account of his disparaging re-
marks against the American people.
DR.. Olaf Paz, the brother of Charles Paz,
a lawyer at San Francisco, ana who gave up
his practice to join the congressionalists as
surgeon general in the army, has been re-
quested by President-elect Jorge Montt to
visit Europe for a years. medical research, in
appreciation of his services to the iunta.
Schley willing to Acquiesce.
Captain Schley has wired the Navy de-
pGrtment of the United States relative to
the concession of Judge of Grimes Foster to
certain Of Schley's demands. Judge Foster,
in a letter to Captain Schley a day or two
ago, gave his consent to the appearance of
an officer of the Baltimore and an
interpreter at the secret inquiry, while
the American sailors were testifying to the
assault upon them. Judge Foster explained
fully in the letter the facts relative to the
Gillian legal procedure in such cases.
These DATA show that the Chllian secret
inquiry bears a resemblance to our grand
jury system. Captain Schley, in his commu-
~nication to the Navy department, recon-
mends that it agree to the proposals of Judge
Foster.
One OF the Valparaiso papers this evening
publishes a letter from Senator TruInbull 10
Mr. Eyre in regard to the charges in the Her
aid against Grace & Co.'s firm. Senator
Trumbull states that in his opinion the charge
that the firm acted in the interests of Balma-
ceda are urfounded.
Message to the Congress.
P~resident-elecG Jorge Montt, Waldo Silva
and Ramon Barros Luco, the iuuta trium-
virate, issued a message today to the new
congress, which will begin it's session OH
November Is. After reviewing the causes
which led to the recent war and re-
citing the incidents bearing upon the
same subject, the address concludes
with the announcement that tho iunta
has now accomplished it's mission,
but as a last act of justice desires to bring to
the attention of congress the gallant services
rendered by the congressional army and
navy to their country. 1t hopes that con-
gress, in its wisdom, will duly recognize
these services and reward both forces.
Congress met yesterday ana elected Waldo
Silva president of the senate. Ramon Barros
Luco at the same time was elected president
of the house of deputies. The iunta was re-
until Admiral Montt has been installed in
