WASHINGTON. juno 20.-A private letter re-
ceiyed from Santiago under date of May IA oon-
tuins much interesting Information concerning
affairs in Chill. OF which the following Is an
abstract:
Through tho clsver Intervention OF Mr..
Egan United States Minister, . conference
had bssn brought about between the Govern
mont and tho revolrtionists which might have
resulted in the end OF the war but for an un-
fortunate episode which occurred yesterday
evening. whereby the lives OF the Minister OF
tho Interior and several other distinguished
men OF the Government were imperilled.
This has opened the wounds which tho sslve
OF good counsel was trying to heal. and there
is no telling when the war will end.
THE members OF the Government declared
that no proposition for peace would be enter
tarcd TINT diu not como rom Q committee Of
which tho United States should be q party.
This arose. think. partly from the friendly
attitude OF the United States. The English
and German Ministers tried to be secret medi.
ntors between tho belligsients. but tho Coy
ernment at Santiago declined to accept the
good Offices Of the European Ministers. and
declared its intention to treat only through the
representatives OF tho ihroe great republics OF
tho world-France, Brazil. and tho United
States. .5sN
when this decision was reached Mr.. Eenn
obtained safe conducts for tho revolutionary
leaders, who were in hiding and after three
days organized conference to formulate and
discuss propositions of peace. The first pro O.
sitions were presented by the revolutionists.
and hey were contained in moderate. digni.
fed. AMI laudab!e document simply asking to
have tho constitution restored. There were
no rccriminations or demands or promises
but simply u proposition that Balmaceda
