| WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The only
Gillian news received Sunday was in
the form of cipher dispatch dated VAL
paraiso Saturday. The dispatch reads
as follows:
| ..yALPARA1so, Oct 31-SECRErARY OF THE
NAvY:-Petty Oficer johnson, In whose arms
Riggen was killed, declares that the act was
done by the police guard. Apprentice
! Williams reports that he was arrested
by mounted policeman, who placed
cat-gut nippers around his wrists and
started his horse into gallop, throwing him

| by o police officer. Apprentice Talbot

he was struck repeatedly by the police. Petty
Ofacer Hamilton dangerously wounded and un-
conscious, was dragged to prison. One OF my
people, trying to make him comfortable, was

made to desist. My men in prison were exam
ined secretly, although sent an officer to the

stating that the signer was not engaged in the

I Secretary Tracy will call the atten-
ton of naval officers to the fact that
they should maintain discreet silence
as to the ability of the United States
navy to wipe out Chill. Ever since the
Gillian trouble began naval officers
have been expressing their views
freely as to our ability to bonn
bard Valparaiso, land a marine
force and take Santiago, and various
other moves But Secretary Tracy is
of the opinion that such expressions
are in very bad taste. They are cabled
to England and to Chilli and have the
effect of placing this country in bonn
bastic attitude which the secretary
does not wish us to occupy.
SANTIAGO, Nov. 2.-The political at
mosphere remains about the same.
There is no change in the strained
diplomatic relations existing between
the United States and Chilli. The junta
still contends that the police of Val
paraiso were in no way to blame for
into custody nor for their subsequent
| treatment.
The members of the American col
ony are on the Qui vive for some sort
of an ultimatum from the United States
to the junta. Even in official circles it
is evident that some such step is
expected, and there is consequently
great excitement in that and other
circles y
The United States legation has
again been placed under police espion-
age. The reason for it is not known.
but the police are keeping as strict a
watch over it as they did when the
question of the legations right
to afford asylum to political
refugees was under discussion
The only reason that can be given for
this action is that the Gillian officials
are DESTROYS of keeping fully posted
with regard to persons leaving Or visit
ing the legation. The members of the
legation are very much annoyed by this
last move.
Such members Of the junta as are
here continue to express the strongest
feeling against the United States A
prominent member of the new govern
ment who holds a position in
the cabinet, in an interview
in regard to the dispute be-
tween the two countries, spoke
in a most unfriendly manner concern
ing America and Americans. He was
particularly severe on United States
Minister Egap, whom he bluntly ac.
cused of trying to provoke war be-
tween the United States and Chilli
in order to secure glory for him
self. On the other hand, it is
asserted by persons conversant with
the particulars of the difficulty between
the two countries, that Minister Egan
has done nothing whatever in the mat
ter on his own responsibility, all his
actions being guided by orders which
had been sent to him from the state
department at Washington.
VALPARAISO, Nov. 2.-Senor Arle-
gui, the intendente of this city,
has given Capt. Schley, of the Bal
more, his positive assurances that the
officers and sailors of that United States
warship will be afforded all possible
protection in case they should come
ashore. At the same time, in
view of the present state of
affairs, be will not offer advice in re-
gard to the advisability of permitting
any of the Baltimore's crew to land.
While Arlegui will not commit himself
by an expression of opinion on the
subject, it seems clear that he deems it
best that no such attempt should be
made for the present.
The intendente has asked American
Consul McCreery to request Capt.
Schley to furnish Judge Foster, who is
conducting secret inquiry into the
outrage, with copy of any testimony
obtained by him, so that it may be used
by the court. Many Americans be-
lieve that the authorities desire to pro-
coed in good faith.
So far the United States government
has been acting only on ex parte cable
versions. It is only just and right to
await the evidence taken by the Gillian
court of inquiry before proceeding to
extreme measures. There is strong
belief that the better men in the
Gillian congress will vote in favor OF
