The Chtiian Minister of Foreign Affairs
 and President Harrison's Message..
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Chilian Legation has peaceful air about it this morning, and there is nothing to indicate that the message of Preside nt Harrison bearing on the Chilian ques- tion has caused any uneasiness among the members.
 The Secretary of the Legation says that no late advices have been receive from Chilli, and that Minister Montt has not yet received the circular from his country, giving the Chilian side of the situation.
 In reference to the published state ment that the Minister is to put out 8 letter to counteract the antiChilian sentiment supposed to have been en- gendered by President HarrisoD's mas sage, the Secretary says that Minister Montt is not contemplating any such ac tion.
 The letter referred to has been pre- pared by Minister of Foreign Affairs Matta for distrl button among the Chilli an legations in Europe and America and gives Chili's side of the d difficulty with the United States growing out of the Baltimore outrage. A summary is given:
 ''There is a want of exactness and frankness in the statements made in Washington. The affray took place in bad quarters Of the city, the 'maintop of Valparaiso and among the people who are by no means models of discre- tion and temperance. When the police and other forces interfered and calmed down the tumult there were already several hundred mon engaged in it, and it had spread to 8 distance some ten blocks or more from the place where it commenced.
 "Mr Tracy and Mr. Harrison have been led into error concerning our peo- pie and government Their instruc tions of impartiality and amity have not been complied with Tn ey are not now nor have they been before. And if no complaints have been made against | the Minister and sailors it is because | public and notorious facts in Chili and | the United States could never have been made use of by our con onfidential agents even when we'll established. Balmaceda's demands and concessions made in June and July, the whole | Itata affair." the San Francisco in Quin- tero Bay, and the matter of the cable company are proofs of it.
 | From a cabled interview it is learned | that Senator Gondarillas asked for an explanation from Foreign Secretary Matta of his letter to the American gov | ernmenG, relefred Co Dy FceSluenC darrl- | son in his message as Gn insulting reply.
 Minister Matta replied that there was not the least truth in the characteriza- tion. He had never penned an insult ing reply to the United States admins tration. On the other hand, Minister Egan's letters to the Chilian Foreign Office were insulting in a marked de gree.
 Senor Matta then went on to main tain the truth of the datta contained in his circular letter to the Chilian Delega- tions in Europe and America. He added with vehemence that Chilli would act il every way with strict justice, and scored Minister Egan and Consul McCreery fol the alleged withholding of evidence n ec essary to arrive at clear understand ing of the merits of the Baltimore case.
 He said that nothing would prevent Chili from fully inves tigating the affair and punishing those found guilty in ac cordance with the laws of the land.
