The conference lasted from $3.50 until
or * Every phase of the situation was
carefully reviewed. 1t was decided that
our national honor demanded that we
should a"t promptly and with correspond
.g Ewnnes.. II was agreed before the
conference closed that the attack upon our
sailors sas tautamOunt 10 an insult to our
fac. Tie men assaulted were sailors of
'ae United States. They We're clothed in
The uniform of the United States, and as
such were supposed to represent the dig
rry and majesty of the United States. Al
though any indignity to u party of Ameri-
can citizens would be resented by the gov
eminent. in the present case, the character
Of the outrage was intensified by the fact
'aai .t was committed upon the direct repre-
srr'gtives Of the country.
tnCer these circumstances ii was decided
that lie moment should be lost in demand
jus speedy rcpMation. When the confer
,-re closed d cable dispatch was sent to
Minister Egan at Santiago. 1t instructed
him 20 communicate to the CHILEAN pro-
vis!oual government the indignation felt at
the assault upon the sailors of the Balti-
m.re. II further instructed him to demand
first, an indemnity in money TO be paid to
the families of the dead sailors and to the
families Of such Of the wounded as may
dc, second, the arrest and punishment of
lie participants in the assault, and, third,
suitable apology to the United States.
The tone of the dispatch indicates that
the administration viii have no delay in
securing settlement of the matter. Chill
must do what she is asked to do and do it
speedily
