hread as follows:
The Department Of State receivet
ibis morning a telegram from Ministe

which he gives the following as the re
yy0t the Chilean Government TO thI
President telegram of October 23,ask
Ing reparation for the recent murder o
American sailors in the streets of Val
P3raiSO.
Minister Of Foreign Affairs replies
,ba, the government Of the United
States formulateS demands and advances
threats that without being cast bach
With acrimOny are not acceptable, mol
could they be accepted in the present
case OF In any other OF like nature.
"He does not doubt the sincerity
rc,.tude OF expertnesS Of the investiga.
'on 0n board the Baltimore, but will
recognize only the jurisdiction and au-
lori,y Of his own country TO judge and
1l'sh the guilty in Chilean territory,
He says the administrative and Judi.
tl. authorities have been investigating
1e affair; that judicial investigation
--der Chilean law is secret and the
Tine has not yet arrived to make known
,l3 result; when that time does arrive
L' vii. communicate the result, al
lough he does not recognize any other
a-ta0r.,.ty competent TO judge crlml-
IA. cases than that established by the
Chilean people.
Until the time arrives to disclose
i1e result Of investigation he cannot
i1mit that the disorders in Valparaiso
Dc The silence Of his department should
appear as an expression OF nnfriendless
l"ard the Government of the United
''.i'eS, which might put in peril the
."eldIy relations between the two
,o1n-rieS."
OPt the hour when the above state
--at was made public, no reply had
-'l made 20 it, What will be the
--'lre of Secretary Blaine'S reply is
Nera matter Of conjecture. The
I .'t PLAUSIBLE theory advanced is that
-+ suggestions cOurteOuSly and diplo-
i. ,-.t.,ca..y conveyed in acting Secretary
''Artoa'S dispatch, that this Govern
-.l, had no doubt investigation would
made and reparation afforded will
.s ..H oe renewed in the shape Of a stern
