The revolutionary press is very bitter IN

charges are still being made against him

A MONTH LATER
VALPARAISO. Oct. 80 Especial Cor. As
sociated Press. The steamer which left
for the north today carried important mail
advices to the state department at Wash
ington. giving full details of the attempts
which have been made recently 10y the
provisional government to force the
United States representatives in Santiago
to surrender the refugees who sought an
asylum in the American legation, and
who are still protected there. Minister
Egan'- instructions are to the effect that
the United States will continue to give
an asylum to the refugees IN the legation
until safe conducts are issued by the co n
gress ionalists for the removal of these
persons beyond the limits of Chill, and,
further that the United States Will not
permit it's minister to be harrassed and an
nOyed on account of the presence Of these
refugees in the legation.
Last week orders were issued by the
Gillian authorities to arrest all persons
entering or leaving the United States
legation in Santiago. To this Minister
Egan entered a strong protest and the
order WAS revoked after it had been in
force several days. Spies, however, still
watch the legation. The order was, OF
course, directed against the refugees who
are now in the legation. as they have not
left the building since they first entered it.
There is no doubt that 1T WAS also in
tended that be order should impress upon
the refugees the feeling that they were
causing Mr.. Exam much trouble, and that
it was their du'y 10 relieve him.
When the first demand WAS made upon
Mr.. Egan to surrender these refugees, he
Informed the CHilian authorities that the
United States had never yet refused An
asylum TO political refugees and be would
not surrender the men. The revolution
ISIS were also sheltered at the American
legation at a time when they were refused
an asylum by the ministers of other for
ei-n countries, particularly the minister
from Great Britain, and yet, during the
entire struggle il was the English repre-
and residents WHO were re-
garded as the strongest supporters of the
revolutiouistS.
There is little doubt that the primary
cause OF the revolution WAS the fact that
the English interests in the nitrate prop
critics in the north OF Chill were threaten
ed by Baimaceda. A number of instances
have developed during the war in which
Yalua bic assistance WAS given the reVolu-
tionsts bv the English representatives in
Chill, and il is also fact th2t the English
residents of Chill are now the strongest in
their denuuciatiOns of the Americans and
in misrepresenta tions of the conduct of
the American officials. There is no doubt
whatever that he feeling against Ameri-
cans is not confined TO the English resi-
dents of Chill. Conservative ChIlians
state that the present feeling will not con-
tnue and that commercial relations with
the United States Will not be affected after
sufficient time has elapsed 10 allow the
present trouble to be forgotten.
There has been, however, no act on the
part of the provisional government since it
has come into power which could in any
attract the support of those who had been
The supporters of Balmaceda The new
government and all those who sympathis-
Ell with it have never made any secret of
their intention o punish their late oppOn
-ntS. Arrests aud imprisonments occur
daily. The day after the defeat of Balma-
;eda the houses belonging 10 Balmaceda's
party in Santiago and other points were
entered and everything of value demolish-
ID. The loss by these depredations is
enormous,
