eminent.
VALPARAISO, Nov. Elm the notice
issued Friday night by Intendente Car
los Lira to the crowd of hot-headed
young Chilians at Santiapo, who were
unduly exciting themselves about the
alleged plot to assassinate Gen. Canto,
he not only said that there was no
truth in the stories published in some
of the local papers, but added that no
arrests had been made in connection
with the affair.
The meeting of the young men on
the plaza at Santiago appointed a COM
mittee TO go to the Moneda, wait upon
President-elect Jorge Montt and ask
him, in view of the reported attempt to
kill Canto, if the fact that public opinion
held the refugees in the United States
legation culpable, and as also of the
common belief that dictatorial sympa-
thies had not been stamped out in GER
tain parts of the country to see that
justice was meted out to the Balma-
cedists who were protected by the
American minister.
Admiral Months reply was admirable.
He said that he fully appreciated the
generous and patriotic sentiment of
the young men of Santiago and of the
people at large, but at the same time
he was impelled TO state that
the iunta had had no further
information relating to the plot
than that published in certain pa
pers. In its conduct of affairs, he con-
tinued, the junta had to be governed
by the laws of the country. 1t was its
duty to see that these laws were faith
fully and legally administered. In
regard to the charge that
the United States legation sheltered
refugees, who are still engaged in plot
ting mischief. he knew positively that
Minister Egan had interdicted the send
ing out of letters by refugees unless
the letters were subjected to inspec-
ton. If any such message had left the
legation Admiral Mont added, he
was sure that it was without the
knowledge of Minister Egan, and that
if the matter had been brought before
Mr.. Egan he would have caused the
prompt exclusion of the offender from
the asylum. Months remarks were the
strongest source of evidence that he
desires to protect the legation.
