YANKEE TARs IN CHILE.
A Private Letter From One of the Balti-
more's Saifors-


more's Sailors
A private letter received in Chicago yester-
day from Benjamin W. Wells of the L. s. s.
Baltimore by his father refutes the assertions
that the Baltimore acted as a spy on the
Chilean insurgents when the latter made their
famous landing at Quinteros. The officers Of
H. NJ. S. Champion, according TO dispatches
printed in The STAR on Thursday evening from
Victoria, B. c.. declare that when the landing
took place the Champion was lying alongside
the Baltimore at Valparaiso, and that the Balti-
more steamed around the point to Quinteros,
watched the entire debarkation of the con-
gressionalists, and then deliberately returned to
the government wharf at Valparaiso. reporting
the information gained TO the officials hostile TO
the junta- The bitterness Of the Chileans. re-
sulting subsequently In the massacre OF men,
bers of the Baltimore's crew, is attributed by
the British officers to the alleged spying on the
part of the American war vessel
The beginning Of the letter from Officer
Wells is dated August Is, and begins: My last
letter to you was from Couquimbo. The day il
was mailed We received word that the insur-
gents had landed near Valparaiso" The extract
shows conclusively that the Baltimore SO far
from being alongside the Champion the day of
the Quinteros landing, as asserted by the Eng
lish officers was not at Valparaiso or near Quin-
teros at all, but at Couquimbo. The Baltimore
Mr.. Wells says. did not leave Couquimbo until
after midnight and news of the landing had
reached him at breakfast IT was not until
sunset Of the following evening that the Balti-
more came to anchor in Valparaiso harbor, the
hrst Thing attracting attention being the insur-
gent war ships Abtao and Magellan with flags
flying at all their masts in celebration of the
insurgent success in the first days fight
The letter describes the exciting scenes
attending the fall of Valparaiso, the taking of
refugees, including wounded officers and
women and children, aboard the Baltimore,
and the practical accession of the junta 70
power, adding prophetically: I'VE will not be
in good favor here; that may be taken for
granted. After capturing the Itata and cutting
the cable to Iquique our chances for bare po-

FEELING AMONG CALlFORNIANs.
How the Chilean Diniculty 10 Regarded OF
the Coast.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Chilean difficulty sx-
cites deep interest among Californians," said
VIM. S. Bridges Of San Francisco, who is now
here. SIN California Chileans have never been
popular since the days OF the Argonauta As
In the case of the New Orleans trouble Califor-
nia would prefer war 20 the least surrender OF
any national claim. Much Of thu bitterness Of
the Chileans toward America ia due to the Itata
affair and to the talk Of Capt. Manner, tho
commander Of the vessel. Mahnser judged
this country from what no saw in San Diego
The people Of that city, because Manner
bought literally of the merchants r.
supply his vessel treated him as a
hero, and actually insulted the officers
Of the Charleston when they brought the
Itata back. At banquet given by the city Of
San Diego the ltata was toasted first and the
Charleston second. When Manner returned
to Chile he naturally took the ground that
Americans were not tc be feared and his infiu-
ence with the junta ia said to be considerable.
The Chileaus hate Californians above all other
Americans because the ArgonauS drove of the
Chileans from the mines. This Wholesale de-
portation Chile can never forgive or forget.
Chilean naval officers during the last few
years have often expressed desire TO make
San Francisco pay a big indemnity or to bonn
bard and destroy it. There IL no question II
war results from the present trouble the first
move Of the Chilean deet viii b against San
Francisco"
