iho United States Formally Demands Sat-

Made Upon the BaltImoro's Sailors 81,
Valparaiso-There May BE War.
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Secretarv
Tracy said this morning that further
study OF the cipher dispatch received
from Capt. SchleY of the Baltimore, on
thursday, showed that, in addition to
the Killing OF one man and seriously
wounalng slX others, thirty-fivc other
American seamen were arrested and de-
tanned by the Chilian authorities at the
tlme and that they were afterwards eX-
ahmed and dismissed, as there was no
proof that they had been guilty Of any
misbehaviOr.
| This confirms Capt. Schley's other
statement that the Americans were un.
armed, sober and well behaved at the
time of the trouble and also indicates
that at least 40 men out OF the Balti-
more's contingent of 275 men were the
objects OF the rage Of the mob. 1t also
appears now that up to the date OF Capt.
Sehley,s report the ChiliaI authorities
had taken no steps to arrest and punish
any Of the Chllians responsible for the
affair,
An official, thoroughly familiar with
all the facts in possession of the Govern
mcnt, pointed out this morning that it
was altogether different in it's material
feature from the Italian affair at New
Orlcaus, the men in one case boing
practically citizens of the United States,
| Nn I
States Uniform and were attacked for that
reason. lie said that it was a delib.
crate insult to the American flag.
REDRESS DEAANDED.
| SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 2G.-John
Turnbull, another of the Baltimore's
men, died today. lie had received no
less than twenty stab wounds, several
OF them penetrating his lungs.
Acting on instructions from Washing
ton, Minister Eyan today, after making
a brief but pointed summary of the facts
involved in the recent trouble, form tllv
demanded rcparation from the govern
ment of Chic. Mr.. Eyan expressed
IN distinct terms the feeling of great in
dlgnaLlOn which the State Department
at Washington feels at the whole affair,
and informed the Junta that this IS no
mcnt expects some kind of satisfaction
ior the assault upon the Baltimore's
crew, and demands IN Immediate cX-
panatlOn Of the whole affair and rcpara-
lion Tor the I'M lries inflicted.
The opinion prvails among foreign
ministers that the Junta will immc-
diately make the rcparaton demanded. !
Iho sympathy OF the foreign residents is
entirely with Capt. SChIcy, and Minister
Eyau's action gives great satisfaction.

ANXIETY IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Oct. 2G.-Thc II, ws OF the
critical relations between the United
States and Chile has excited lively inter
est here, especially in circles interested
in South American trade. AS English
capita. virtually controls the nitrate de-
posits, and is established in that control
more firmly than ever by the result of
the war, there is general desire on the
part ofthose interested for peace. War
between the United States and Chile |
would mean, sooner or later. 4 blockade |
OF Chilean ports and Interference with |
foreign trade.
