Probable Fate of the Present United
States Representative i'll
Chilli.
He Has Made Himself Obnoxious
10 the Party Now in
Power.
Recognition Of the New Government
Soon to be Considered at
Washington.

WASuINGruN, Sept, /. If the present
junta finally becomes the government
OF Chile, and rs such is recognized 10y
the United States, II is not at all like =
ly that Mr.. Patrick Egan will remain
as the American minister, for while
passion and prejudice may partly ac-
count for all that is charged by the in
surgent ENJOYS against MIR. Egan it Is
undoubtedly true that he is unpopular
with the present junta
1t is not necessary in diplomatic in
tcrrourSe that one government need
assign any cause for requesting the
withdrawal of minister, A mere in
timation from one government to an
other that its representative is no
longer persona grata is amply Nutti-
Gent, as was shown in the case of
Lord Sackvillc-Wcst, the British min
lister, 1t will only be necessary for
the iunta to intimate to Mr., Harrison
and Mr., Blaiuo that MIR Egan is not
desirable, aud the latter will be sue
ceeded by some gentleman who is de-
sirablc.
Some anxiety is shown at the state
department over the fact that no word
has vet been received from Mr. Egan,
1t is considered highly improbable
that any injury would befall him. At
the same time matters have assumed
such phase that the hackntyel cx,
cuses OF poor topographic service, etc,
seem to have fallen into iuocuous
deSuctudr.
Minister Lalrauo, the Chilean repre-
sentative here, who was devoted adj
herent to Balnaceda, is packing up.
Il u t2nl ,,a
ceda made consul general day before
yesterday, win he relieved before the
ink on his com mis- ION has really had n
chance To dry,
1.-The recognition Of the new gov
eminent will doubtless soon become a
| subject of diplomatic consideration, !"
said an official OF the State depart
ment o.day. But in behalf of Min
lister Egan it should lie said that what
ever he has done or has not done has
been with the full approval of tho
President and the Secretary of state.
1t will be remem bcred that when in
Brazil the Republicans overthrow the
Empire the nitcd States, although
the first government to recogni the
new Republic, did not do SO until the
Republic had been approved by the
people.
"Hhe iusurgent representatives who
came to Washington wished To induce
President Harrison to instruct Min
lister Eagan to recognize their cause
The president refused to do this and
declined to permit the government Of
the nlted States To aid the congress-
ionalists in any way
Adviccs were received this morning
at both the state and navy departments

greSsonal party was in possession of
