A CHILEAN REPLY
TO PRESIDENT HARRIsON'S MES
SAGE ON CHILE.


AAS at Diplomacy
NFW YORK, Dec. 12.- The Herald rs cor
respondent at Valparaiso, Chile, cables the
following: president Jorge Montt, has
sent to the Chilean ministers in the United
States and Europe, reply to President
Harrlson's message to the congress of the
United States in relation to the assault on
the sailors who landed from the cruiser
Baltimore. He declares the Chilean au-
thorities have never attempted to evade in
the slightest particular any responsibility
for which the country may be Justly held,
but insists that the proper and ordinary
forms Of Chilean procedure must be OBJ
served" President Montt was interviewed
by the Herald and said he was fully CON
WINGED that in the end the American peo-
pie would judge of the Baltimore affair
without bias There was no doubt in his
mind that the congress of the United
States would act with fairness in the
matter and that justice be done by govern
ments of both the United States and Chile.
"The closing sentence of Mr.. Harrison,s
message" said President Montt, "shows
he will await the conclusion of investiga-
tion now being made before taking aggres-
sive action. So believing, | have not the
slightest idea Of any trouble between
the two countries. We are desirous Of cul-
tivating amicable relations with all cOun-
tries and have no desire for any difficulty
with the United States. No acknowledge
ment has been made Of the receipt Of the
letters sent to the Chilean government on
November 8, asking for copies of the testi-
mony of witnesses in the investigation in
the Baltimore affair. Six days ago a re-
ply was sent to letter of Secretary Blaine
to Minister Pedro Montt, at Washington,
says that safe conducts were granted the
refugees who were in the German and
French legations, while the privilege was
denied those who sought asylum in the
American legation. A reply sent to Secre-
tary Blaine declares no such permits have
been granted that no safe conducts have
been issued to any refugees in any foreign
legations, and that Mr. Blaine can keep
himself well informed through the Chilean
legation at Washington
