whom mas since died. SO savage and
brutal was the assault that several Of
orr sailors received more than two, and
one as many as eight stab wounds. An
investigation Of the affair was promptly
made by q board of officers of the Balti-
more and their report shows that these
assaults We're unprovoked. that our men.
were conducting themselves in a peacea-
Bile and orderly manner, and that some
of the police Of the city took part in the
assault and used theirsweapons with fatal
effect, while a few others with some
well disposed citizens, endeayored to
protect mon. Thirty-six Of our sail
ors were arrested and some of them.
while being taken to prison, were cru
ely beaten and maltTeated. The fact
that they We're all discharged.sn no Grim
lnal charge being lodged against any of
Them shows very clearly that they were
innocent of any breach of the peace.
so Tar as 1 have yet been able to learn
no other explanation of this bloody worl,
has been suggested than that it had ifs
origin in hostility to those men as sailors
OF the United States, wearing the uni
form OF their government and not in
any individual act or personalanimosity.
The attention of the Gillian govern
ment was at once called to this affair.
and a statement of the facts obtained by
the investigation we had conducted. was
submitted, accompanied by ~aIrcquest to
be advised of any other or qualifying
facts in the possession of the Gillian
government that might tend to relieve
this affair Of the appearance of an insult
to this government. The Gillian gov
eminent was also advised that, if such
qualifying facts did not exist, this GOV
eminent would confidently expect full
and prompt reparation. II is to be re-
GREETED that the reply of the secretary OF
foreign affairs Of the provisional govern
ment was
Couched in an Offensive Tone.
10 this no response has been made.
The government is now awaiting the re-
suit of an investigation, which has been
conducted by the criminal court at Val
paraiso. It is reported, unofficially. that
the investigation is about completed and.
it is expected, that the result viii soon
be communicated to this government,
together with SOM adequate and sat.

the attention of Chill was called to this

should be disappointed. or further need
