tBy telegraph to the Dispaich.l
WASHINGTON, October 27.-The fol-
lowing Is copy Of, the telegram which
by the Presidents order was sent to
Chile on the 23d instant
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, October %, 1891.
Egdn, american Minister. Santiago,
Chic:
Immediately upon receipt OF informa-
ton o. the assaults made on the 18th
in the streets of Valparaiso upon num-
Der OF American sailors belonging to
the United States man-of. war Baltimore,
now IN that harbor, the commander of
that vessel, Captain w. S. Schley, was
directed to cause On immediate and
thorough inquiry to be made into the
origin and incidents OF that tragic affair
and to communicate the results simulta-
neously to this Government and TO you.
His report, under date Of yesterday, has
been transmitted TO this department by
the Secretary Of the Navy, who advises
me that copy of the report was for
warded by Captain Schley to you.
You will observe that the board Of
officers selected by Captain Schley to in
vestigate this affair report that our
sailors were unarmed and gave no pro-
vocation that the assaults upon them
were by armed men, greatly superior i'll
numbers, and. as we must conclude,
animated In their bloody work by hos
tility to these men as sailors of the
United States. You will also notice that
the character of some of the wounds in
dictate that the public, police, or some Of
them took part in the attack, and will
also observe that other American sailors
were without any apparent fault ar
rested and some time held by
the authorities. The friendly efforts
OF a few of the public officers
to give succor to our men furnishes
the only redeeming incident of the affair.
This cruel work, so injurious to the
United States. took place on the 10th
instant. and yet no expression of regret
or of a purpose TO make searching in
quiry with a view to the institution Of
proper proceedings for the punishment
OF the guilty parties. has been, SO far as
am advised, offered to this Govern
ment.
You will at once bring TO the stten-
ton OF the Government Of Chile the
facts as reported to you by Captain
Schley and will Inquire whether there
are any qualifying facts in possession OF
that Government or any explanation to
be offered OF an event that has very
deeply moved the people OF the United
States, not only by resulting in the
death of one OF our sailors and the pitt
less wounding of others, but even more
as an apparent expression Of unfriendll-
ness towards this Government which
might put in peril the maintenance OF
amicable relations between the two
countries. If the facts are as reported
by Captain Scbley, this Government
cannot doubt that the Government OF
Chile will offer prompt and full repara-
ton. You will furnish the Foreign Of
fee q full paraphrase OF this dispatch
and report promptly to this Government.

widely and adversely commented upon

The contest this year will be altogether

pressed that every possible facility and
privilege should be gwen to enable every
Democrat to cast his vote, especially as
there are four recognized candidates in

to Richmond on Thursday, and probably
every member o. the corps will be de-
