WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-There was a
Autter of excitement in official circles here
this morning over the Santiago press cables
gram announcing the receipt of an unsatis-
factory response from the junta to the rep
resentatives of the United States, and say
ing that the Baltimores crew were practi-
caly boycotted at Valparaiso. Naval
officials discredit the latter statement and
beIeve its foundation lies in the prudent
course adopted by Commander Schley re-
specting the guaranteeing of liberty to his
sailors during the present condition of ex-
element. No word has been received at
the navy department from Commander
Schley reporting any new phase in the stu
alton. At the department of state a cipher
cablegram from Minister Egan was received
this morning.
The cablegram was translated aRd laid
before the President about noon. Secreta-
res Blaine and Tracy were Immediately
summoned and there was long confer
ence
TENOR OF THE MESSAGE.
At 6 o'clock the following official state
ment of the contents of Minister Egan's dis
patch was made public: "The state de
partment received this morning cablegram
from Minister Egan, dated Santiago, Oct.
2S. in which he gives the following, as the
reply of the Chilean government to the
Presidents telegram of Oct. %, asking
reparation for the recent murder Of Ameri-
can sailors in the streets of Valparaiso.
The minister Of foreign affairs replies that
the government OF the United
States formulates demands and
advances threats that without being cast
back with acrimony are not acceptable, nor
could they be accepted in the present case
or in any other Of like nature. He does not
doubt tha sincerity, rectitude or expertness
Of the investigation on board the Baltimore,
but will recognize only the jurisdiction and
authority Of his country to judge and
punish the guilty in Chilean territory.
He says the administration and judicial
authorities have been Investigating the
affair. Judicial investigation under the
Chilean law is secret and the time is not yet
arrived to make known the result. When
that time does arrive he will communicate
the result. although ne does not recognizes

criminal cases than that established by
the Chilean people. Until the time arrives
to disclose the result OF the investigation he
cannot admit that the disorders in Valpa-
raiso or the silence of his department should
appear as an expression of uufriendliness
toward the government of the United States,
which might put in peril the friendly re-
latons between the two cuuntries.n
No reply has been made to this dispatch
yet What will be its naturels altogether
conjecture The most plausible theory ad-
Vanced Is that the suggestions courteously
and automatically conveyed III Acting SEQ
retary Whartons dispatch that this gov
ernment mad no doubt an investigation
would be made and ep2ration afforded will
now be renewed in the shape of
a stern and formal demand for
some immediate assurance Of proper action
on the part OF the junta, and that if these
be not forthcoming, Minister Egan will
take passage on the Baltimore for the United
states, thus severing diplomatic relations
Between the two countries.
RUDINI CHILE's EXAMPLE.
The administration thinks that the
Cnllean lunta has a copy Of Rudini's book
and Is following in the present incident the
course taken by Secretary Blaine i'll tho
New Orleans affair. AS President Harrison
ana Secretary Blaine point out the two
episodes differ essentially, but there is just
enough resemblance to give color
to the Chilean claim that they are similar
AT all events, the Chilean junta takes the
view that they are similar, and it is under
stood that one of the phrases used by. the
minister Of foreign affairs, and repeated in
tne cablegram received to-day from Minister
Egan, was almost, word for word, the samo
as one of Secretary Blaine's most
striking retorts to Premier Rudini. Natur-
