CHILI'S REPLY
To the Demand from Washing

She Does Not Decline to Shoulder the

Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - Thursday
evening the following official statement
was made:
The department of state received this
morning telegram from Minister Egan,
dated Santiago, Oct. sS, in which he
gives the following as the reply of the
Chilian government to the presidents
telegram of Oct. 90, asking reparation
for the recent murder of American
sailors in the streets of Valparaiso:
minister for foreign affairs replies
that the goveInmento of the United States
formulates, demands and advances
threats that, without being cast back
with acriInony are not acceptable, nor
could they be accepted in the present
case or in any other Of like nature He
does not doubt the sincerity, rectitude or
expertness of the investigation on board
the Baltimore, but will recognize only
the jurisdiction and authority OF his own
country to judge and punish the guilty
in Chilian territory.
"He says the administrative and judi
cial authorities have been investigating
affairs; that judicial investigation under
Chilan law is secret and time is not yet
arrived to make known the result; when
that time does arrive will communicate
result, although he does not recognize
any other authority competent to Judge
criminal cases than that established by
the Chilian people Until the time ar
rives to disclose the result of the investi-
cation he cannot admit that the disor-
ders in Valparaiso or the silence of his
department should appear as an express
ion of unfriendliness towards the gov
ernment of the United States which
might put in peril the friendly relations
between the two countries"

State of Affairs in Chill as Related in q
Private Letter.


Private Letter.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.--A letter from
g. c. Jarrett, Jr., one of the United
States steamship Baltimore's crew, dated
Valparaiso, Sept. 10, says:
Everything is quiet here. and the
new government has been formed and
proclaimed. o. Lord, how they do hate
the Americans. They celebrated their
independence on the 10th, and at night
gave torchlight procession. AS they
came by the English, French and Ger
man fleets, they cheered and 'viva'd,
but when they steamed past the old
Baltimore you could almost hear our
hearts beat.
Apart from the Itata affair, the op-
positionists say that the United States
minister misrepresented them to our
government, and the consequence was,
our government would not recognize
them as belligerents. l am afraid that
of the high estimation that always ex
listed of us in a Chilian's imagination
there now remains but nil. Two of the
men who were shot with me in the
steam launch have recovered, and are
walking around decks, but poor Mcbride,
the one who was running the engine and
got shot through the lungs, died two
days later and we buried him at sea,
sixty miles off Mellenda, where we took
some refugees. l have since learned
that English and French launches had
several killed and wounded as well as
ours. We expect to coal tomorrow and
leave for Callao, where we will be given
liberty, as it is considered too dangerous
here. as the captain fears that the people
would rise up and mob the men.

THE OTHER SIDE.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Senor Don
Petro Montt, the representative of Chill,
has received the following official cable
gram from his country in explanation of
the troubles at Valparaiso:
Investigation instituted Immediately
and continues with all diligence, but it
is not yet finished. The trouble began
in Claves street and it became tumult
at alout 7 p. IN. Regular soldiers,
police and the special guard of intend
ente restored order.
"The combatants, thirty Americans
and eleven Chilians, were committed be-
fore the judicial authorities. Thoy
fought with knives, stones and every
thing they could lay their hands upon.
There was one killed and several wound
ed. 1t is stated that there were 100
American sailors from the Baltimore on
shore at the time of the tumult."
In explanation of the small number of
Chilians arrested in comparison with the
number of Americans it is stated that
the Chilians We're at home and able to
conceal themselves, while the sailors, be-
ing strangers and in uniform, were
easily distinguished and having no plaYe
of concealment were readily captured.
It is thought TO be certain that the Ch.l-
ians implicated will eventually be
brought 10 Justice.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct 31.-United
States Revenue Collector Bell arrived
here Thursday from an extended inspec-
tion trip along the Rio Grande river. lie
says that large number Of bandits have
for some time been engaged in smugglil z
operations along the border near RomI
The custom house guards are unable TO
prevent this violation of the law. The
smugglers are desperate characters and
well armed. They are terrors to the
custom house guards and to honest citi-
zens. Most of the smuggling which is
carried on is to Mexico and not into the
United States, as formerly. The increase
in tariff on certain articles is responsible
for this change.

and some ft " houses have been burned.
The edge X the mountains have been
reached and in some places the same

the fire is sweeping over the mountains

speedy checking of the flames is rain

At Clinton, N. j.

CLINTON, Oct. 31.-This village was
visited Thursday night by the most
disastrous fire that has ever occurred in
its history. 1t is impossible to say how
the fire started, but it is supposed TO
have been the work of an incendiary.
There is no fire department in Clinton
and word was sent to Phillipsburg, ten
miles from that portion of the town
where the fire started. The inhabitants
worked all ight long battling with the
flames, and it was not until early morn
ing that the fire was gotten under con-
troll. Nineteen buildings were burned
in all. The ,otal loss will foot up about
100000. There is some insurance n
this, but the exact amount is not known.
