trcu$ht 10 Terms. For tcartncc has
ceased ts be virtue on the part of the
United States and the Chilian junts
will know IL an soon as Minister Egan
makes certain communications 10 them.
A serious turn Is given the Valparaiso
affair by the dispatch of Capt. schley
reciting the result of u court oi
inquiry as to the origin OF the
assault on the American sailors. This
dispatch was the subject OF a long con
ference 81 the white house Friday sf
ternoen 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
sayopets la the hands Of policemen.
This news destroyed the theory of a
mere row and showed that the au-
thcritie4 instead of doing their duty.
must be held responsible for the attack.
1t also showed that the American sail
ors could not have stsused mere
brawl They were victims Of Chilia n
hatred and Gillian insolence.
The attorney general gave the law
of the case. and after the president had
expressed himself in . more emphatic
manner than those present had ever
known him to exhibit on any other pc-
casion, he himself wrote the dispatch
TO Minister Egan instructing him to
preseut it to the junta
The president and the members OF
the conference agreed that halt must
be called and at once upon Chilian in
suits. When the conference broke up
Mr.. Foster carried In his pocket a
cablegram to DO sent to Min
ister 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-
clusioas of the Schlsy court of in
quiry, and II the particulars are found
as reported to demand a. once in
demnity for the sufferers. suitable
apology and punishment for all the
offenders engaged in the barbarous
and unwarranted attack upon our sail
ors. Under the circumstances Is re-
ported by the court of inquiry the
presidents advisors agree that this
country has a perfect right for
complete and full reparation.
The affair is regarded as some
thing more than a street riot or row be-
tween sailors. 1t is an attack upon
representatives of the United States
government not by private citizens of
Chilli. but by Chilian sailors and Chilian
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 matter the officials
do not care to discuss, but the presen,
temper is against any more dilly daily
ing, and unless Chilli does the proper
thing it il not saying too much to pre-
dict that the demand will be backed ur
by warships.
At the conclusion of the conferen ce
Secretary Tracy made the following
statement:

authorities had taken no steps to arrest
