BITTER FEELING.
Views Of Prominent Member of tn

Views of a Prominent Member of the
Chilean Community in Paris.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-The animosity felt by
the Chilean residents here against the
United States is reflected in an interview
with a prominent member of the Chilean
community in Paris, who attributed the
enmity OF the American Government to the
Chileans' refusal to enter the Customs
union proposed by Secretary Blaine. ''Sev
eral Chilean statesmen" said he, Sex
changed views with Blaine, assuring him.
that as soon as there was visible any
advantage the United States could grant
Chile for the surrender of her European
trade, the proposed Customs Union would
have some chance of acceptance. Unable
TO do this, the Washington Government
would not forgive the ChileanS for the re-
sistance to their ret scheme. Spite was
shown IN the pursuit of the Itata, which
was treated like slave dhOw. 1t required
all the authority of the Paris agents of the
Chilean Congress to prevent the Esmeralda
from fighting the United States cruiser
Charleston. Further proof of hostility is
found u the action of Admiral Brown in
watching the insurgents az Quintero,
Balmaceda. The attitude of the United
States over the street atfray is unjus-
tifiable. Tie Washington Government
ought to have awaited the result of an Off
clal inquiry. relying upon the operation of
Chilean justice. which is equal. if not su-
perlor. to American justice. The reports
that the Valparaiso police used bay0nets
must be groundless, for their only weapon
is staff.

Race Hostility Dating From the Gold

CHICAGO, Nov 1.-Ramon Estuvllo. a
native Californian at the Palmer House, said ::

situation better than n man of English de-
scent naturally would. The Chileans hate
AmericRns-nOt on account of the Itata in
eident OF any recent occurrence. Those in
cidents merely aggravated a feeling dating
far back-tO the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. There was great demand for pro-
visions in San Francisco then, California not
being the great wheat-producing State it
Is to-day, and flour was imported
from Chile in large quantities. This
brought San Francisco and Valparaiso
into close communication, ana thousands
of Chile ms went to the newly discovered
gol fields. 1t was just after the Mexican
war. as result of which there was bitter
feeling. The natives looked upon immi-
grants as intruders Numbers of the ma

and rohberes were commtte /, while num-
ber of Chileans were murdered and robbed
by American miners, and the race hostility
became 50 intense that many Chilean
miners returned to their own land. They
took with them the story of their inhOspit-
able reception, and the nation has smaIted
under what ii deemed wrongs TO its subjects

daughter had loved not wisely, and when
questioned by the bureau officials indicated
that her brother John was responsible. The
officials, not knowing of the relationship

She expressed astonishment, demanding to

that soldier in Mecklinberg, Germany,
