that hostile squadron would have a
hard time, indeed, to keep up a
blockade along the coast.
The United States would be at
great disadvantage, too, in supplying
its ships with coal in the event OF
war. A naval officer says that each
ship would have to be accompanied
by collier and take coal from it at
sea-a difficult operation, which
could scarcely be performed except in
good weather.

wellmanipulated Gillian navy could

little girl who walked on a crutch, was
also looking on at the riders Two nice

from their long cared steeds, and l saw
them glance at the lame child, and whis-

thermore, the American Government
was not disposed to see Chilli, which
was little else than an oligarchy, re-
publican only in name, assuming die
tation in South America, with John
Bull looking over her shoulder.
The decided Encouragement shown
by this Government to the schemes
Of territorial ggrandizement set
forth by Chilli brought Gillian hatred
Of this country to white heat. We
admitted Chili's right to war in
demnity, but not to annihilate her
late enemies.
During the ten years since 1881,
Chill has grown more and more ag-
gressive, and had it not been for her

PRESIDENT MONTr. her a lesson. The
State Department may have acted
with promptness and vigor, but the
to do about it?"
The unfortunate affair which is the
immediate cause Of the threatened
trouble occurred in the streets of Val
paraiso on Oct. Is. A party Of sailors
from the United States cruiser Balti-
more, which lies at anchor in that
harbor, were attacked by mob while
on shore. The Chilians were armed
with knives and pistols, while the
American sailors were unarmed, as
became men whose present acts and
intentions were peaceable. In the
fight Charles Riggin, boatSwain's
mate, was dragged from a street car
by mob and shot to death. Five
other men were dangerously wounded
with knives and bayonets. One was
wounded so severely that he afterward
died.
Thirty-five other sailors were ar
rested by main force, dragged through
the streets OF the city and locked up.
There can be no doubt that the at
tack was the result OF the hatred Of
Americans and the United States
that has been growing afreSh among
the CHILEAN populace ever since the
tide of affairs in the civil war turned
against Balmaceda. 1t is apparent
now from the proportions which this
feeling has attained that its spread
had not been measured by any one In
the United States. 1t is this feeling
that gives the affair national i'm
port. There can be no doubt that the
very proper refusal of our Govern
ment to recognize the belligerents
when their forces were arrayed
against Balmaceda was the immediate
well spring Of this feeling, and no
doubt, too, there were many smaller
things that contributed toward the
result. Perhaps the Chilans did not
understand the motives that guided
the course Of the United States.
1t is certain that their anger was
causelessly aroused to high pitch
when the false report was spread
about that Balmaceda had taken pas
sage to the United States on the Unit
ed States steamer San Francisco, the
flagship Of Rear Admiral Brown, who
commanded our squadron in Gillian
waters. Again, the impression OBJ
tanned among Chilians, with equal
lack of real basis, that our flag in

Chilli gave improper protection to the
members of Balmaceda's party against
the justice or the vengeance Of the
Junta.
So the Junta came into power with
feelings Of mistruSt toward the great
republic and OF ill-will toward its citi-
Zens and traders resident in Chill.
This, however, can not be considered
an excuse for Chili's course in regard
to the outrage upon our unarmed
sailors.
The attack on our sailors was fol-
lowed by demand for an explanation
by the United States Minister. The
reply OF the Junta was expressed in
strong language. 1t practically
amounted to refusal to accept re-
sponsibility for the affair and assigned
the matter TO the civil channels Of
decision and adjudication. The tone
of the reply was great surprise to
this country.

urally the excellent navy which she
had been enabled to build came into
play.
Trouble arose between Chill and
her next neighbor, Bolivia, about the
nitrate beds and guano deposits which
had attracted foreign capitalists in
swarms. The mines were in Bolivia,
but Gillian capitalists, operating,
doubtless, for foreigners, were work
ing them under treaty stipulations.
Bolivia imposed export duties on the
nitrates.
Peru was supposed by the Chilians
to have instigated this action, with a
view TO suppressing the competition
Of Chilli in the nitrate and guano
trade, which in Peru was an i'm
mcnsely profitable Government mo-
nOpoly.
Chili's protest against the export
duty was listened to, but shortly
afterward the Bolivians contlscated
the Gillian mine property, and war
was imminent.
Arbitration was proposed, but fell
through, and Chill went to war with
Peru and Bolivia, and whipped them
both. The little nation crowed so
loudly that she was heard in Europe,
and England gave her much praise.
II was in connection with the set

and the beaten countries that the

ually reviving influence of this cOun-
try in South America.
The vaingloriOus dream Of Chilli is
that if she could draw the country
into a fight, she could quickly worst
her in naval encounter. She would
then, during the negotiations for
peace, demand a foreign protectOrate,
would throw herself into the arms Of
England and Germany, and would
thereafter be free to operate as she
pleased against the policy Of the
United States in South America.
Thus those nations which have most
interest in checking the development
of our policy would gain their point,
without making open war on our
trade.
1t is natural that the Congression-
alists should feel somewhat bump
tiOus just now, and at this moment
they are ready to fight the United
States rather than to admit that kill
ing and wOunding American sailors is
an offense which must be apologizcd
for. This party will have abundant
moral support form those European
powers anxious TO see the United
States get substantial setback in
South America.
The active army Of Chill comprises
in normal times $40 officers and 6,671
men. The National Guard, which
can readily be put into the field,
comprises ~, 100 infantry and 500
artillery, so that Chilli can easily put
90, 900 troops into the field.
AS Chilli would depend almost en-
tirely on her navy in case of fight,
a comparison of her naval force with
that OF our own may be Of interest.

causes as named above, the hostility
Of Chilli to the United States is OF
long date, and has been greatly fos-
tered by the intimate relations of the
little nation with Europe. More than
seventyyears ago American merchants
and sailors had bitter reason to COM
plain Of Gillian barbarity, and in
these later years thinly yelled ha-
tired Of Americans and all their insti-
buttons has been conspicuous in
Chilli.
The steady inflow Of foreigners Of
wealth and talent has led Chilli to be-
lieve that it is the center Of the world,
and that all other nations are prOvin-
cial. The arrogance and presump-
ton Of a native Gillian, even when
he is man of cultivation, must be
seen to be appreciated. AS for the
United States, Chilli firmly believes
that she could annihilate that nation
of boosters in fortnight, and has
more than once seriously discussed
the project Of taking San Francisco.
The aggressive spirit Of Chill has
been greatly fostered by England, and
she found it to her interest to en-
courage the building Of a strong Chill
ian navy. She furnished engineers
for it, gave it a practical schooling,
and it came generally to be under
stood that Chill was an outpost Of
England in the Pacific, and that the

minutes This will act as a total altera-
