gross aud deadly an insult 10 the gov

United States. The arrest aud detsn-
ton Of the survivors Of the outrage
was a. gross . violation Of the rights
and disnities of the United States as
would have been the arrest and de-
testion Of its diplomatic representative
At ssntiago under ike elreumstanceA
That l. the conclusion az which the
government has arrived 10 In known
that the president. Secretary Blaine
and Secretary Tracy regard tbs situa-
tios - grave. Il not critical. and that
the ind gnstion provoked by the Val
paraiso outrage has lost nothing IN
depth or intensity by the lapse of few
hours Indeed. the feeling of resent
mens. which Is by no means confined
- official circles appears 10 grow
stronger the longer the matter
Is made a subject OF thought
and reflection The Indignation is net
less now that IL Is saown that no In
formation has reached either the state
department or the navy department to
the effect that any steps whatever have
been taken by the Chiiian authorities
u apprehend and punish the Valparai-
40 assassins who attacked the Balti-
mOre's men. numbering at least one OF
them and seriously wounding others
IL II be true thai sgch steps have been
taken IL must be regarded AS a strong
indication OF indifference and unfriend-
liness 70 say the least even II not an
evidences Of actual hostility toward the
United States
The government OF Chilli viii search
IA vain FOR parallel for the Valparaiso
outrage No precedent can be- found
IN the modern history of any civilized
fation. Accordingly there Is no reason
10 doubt that whatever measures may
be deemed necessary will be used to
obtain frcrn The provisional govern
inert OF Chilli satisfactory atonement
for tho unprovoked murder and vio-
leuc. committed by its citizens upon
peaeezbls men belonging TO the navy
OF the United States and wearing its
uniform.
Minister Egan has been SO informed
and he has been directed TO take
prompt and vigorous measures 20 Sc
cure proper reparation. He has been
fully advised OF the position OF this
government in the matter. and has
been instructed 10 scquaint the Gillian
government Herewith in the hope that
tn. matter Gay be amieably adjusted
wlthous detriment TO the honor of either
country.
The administration is not disposed 70
nc. arbitrarily in demanding a speedy
reply from Chill The president appre-
ciat-s the embsrrassnents attending
such an inquiry; but on the other
hand, he Is determined that there shall
be no unnecessary delay. Minister
Egan will keep the department fully
informed regarding matters connected
with the assault, and the president
future action will be largely influenced
BY these rep ports Naval officers express
the opinion that the presence of .
strong feet of war vessels at Valpar.
also would materially expedite set
tlement of the affair.
Congress will meet in six weeks. II
In the meantime Chilli has failed to sat
isfy our demands the president will ACT
promptly. lie will lay the matter be-
fore congress, and. like President Blu
chanan on a similar noteworthy occa-
sion, he will, no doubt, request that
the executive shall have authority To
use other than peaceablc means" in the

proper reparstion. IL can not be
doubted that this authority would be
given % him and that. too. with AL
speed consistent with so grave mat
ter. This being done, Chilli must
either come to terms or our fleet will
be ordered TO shell the city of VAL
paradise.
Secretary Tracy said that no more
