WARRINGTON, Oct A.-Chili Is to be
brought to terms. Forbearance has
ceased to be . virtue on the part of the
United States and the Gillian junts
will know it as soon as Minister Egan
makes certain communications to them.
A serious turn is given the Valparaiso
affair by the dispatch of Capt Schley
reciting the result of . court of
inquiry as to the origin of tho
assault on the American sailors This
dispatch was the subject of long con-
ference ut the white house Friday af-
ternoon between President Harrison,
w. J. Foster representing the state de-
partment Secretary Tracy and Attor-
ney General Miller. The climax was
reached by the latest information
showing that the sailors had
been stabbed in the back, and
that the wounds were inflicted by
bayonets in the hands of policemen.
This news destroyed the theory of .
mere row and showed that the au-
thorities instead of doing their duty,
must be held responsible for the attack.
It also showed that the American sail
ors could not have started q mere
brawl. They were victims of Gillian
hatred and Chilian insolence.
The president and the members Of
the conference agreed that q halt must
be called and at once upon Gillian in
suits. When the conference broke up
Mr.. Foster carried in his pocket q
cablegram to be sent to Min
lister Egan which shows that the
United States has decided to
enter on decidedly aggressive
policy with the junta- The cable
gram instructs Mr.. Egan to satisfy
himself of the correctness of the con-
illusions of the Schley court of in
quiry, and if the particulars are found
as reported to demand at once in
demnity for the sufferers, a suitable
apology and punishment for all the
Offenders engaged in the barbarous
and unwarranted attack upon our sail
ora Under the circumstances as re-
ported by the court of inquiry the
presidents advisors agree that this
country has perfect right for
complete and full reparation.
The affair is regarded rs some
thing more than street riot or row be.
tween sailors. 1t is an attack upon
of the United States
not by private citizens of
Chill, but by Gillian sailors and Gillian
policemen, the men whose duty it is to
preserve law and order.
What the administration will do in
case its demands are not promptly
complied with is q matter the officials
do not care to discuss, but the present
temper is against any more dilly daily
ing, and unless Chill does the proper
thing it is not saying too much to pre-
dict that the demand will be backed up
by warships.
At the conclusion of the conference
Secretary Tracy made the following
statement:

SANTIAGO DE CHILL, Oct 24.-Cnited
States Minister Egan has received from
Capt Schley, of the Baltimore, a full
report of the recent attack on the Bal
timore's sailors. The report shows the
attack to have been brutal and coward
y and to have been made because the
men were Americans. Mr.. Egan will
present the matter to his gov
eminent but will not make
formal demands upon the CHILEAN
government until he hears from the
state department The Gillian gov
has informed Mr. Egan that
safe conducts will not be issued for the
refugees now in the United States Legal
ton. The supposed ground for the re-
fusal is that the men are criminals.
Mr.. Egan continues to demand safe
conducts for the men. The question
now appears far from settlement
