II b Generally Admitted That the Feeling
Against Americans IL More Bitter.
A dispatch from Santiago, Chile. dated The


A dispatch from Santiago. Chile, dstsd The
80th, says:
Il 10 generally admitted here BY the sup.
| porters Of the government and by the Ameri-
cans and those in sympathy with them that the
situation Of affairs a. regards the dispute be-
tween the United States and Chile has not i'm
proved In fact, the anti.American feeling IL
growing In bitterness, and ali the American
ofacials in Chile are apprehensive that further
trouble IL brewing. The exact nature Of this
trouble they are Unable TO define, but they see
little prospect that an amicable settlement Of
the Valparaiso incident will soon be reached,
and the signs Of increasing popular luminosity
toward the United States give ground for APP
prehension and indignation.
RELATIoNs pAxaKnousIY STRAINED.
II is not Intended BY these statements 10
create feeling Of alarm or even anxiety - 10
the final result of the diplomatic negotiations
nov In progress but from al one can see here
today the relations between the junta and the
United States government are dangerously
strained.
United States Minister Egan, Capt ". s.
Sehley Of the Baltimore and VIM. b McCreery,
United States consul at Valparaiso, were in
close consultation throughout the day, and,
though it 10 not possible to obtain any definite
statement from them for publication regarding
the nature or the result Of their long dehbera-
tons, 1t can be said they all consider the reply
Of the junta TO Minister Egans note asking for
proper explanation Of the Valparaiso collision
- decidedly insulting to the United States gov
eminent
It is also known that they regard the stu
alton at present as being serious.
,es ssPy Of the unt shsy think
mands made BY the United States government;
that she viii take her own time to consider the
matter, and that when the junta reaches a con-
clusion that government will settle the matter
without reference to the views Of the United
States on the subject
The reply of the junta, they further cay. fails
TO express any regret for the murder Of the
Baltimores men, nor is there in that document
any expression Of regret At the conduct Of the
police In using their bayonets In arresting the
be remembered, we're more or less severely
wounded with bayonet thrusts.
While the United States officials here are
justly indignant at the terms in which the reply
OF the junta is couched, their indignation 10 as
nothing to that felt by the American residents
In Chile. They do not conceal the fact that
they are looking for further and more serious
trouble, possibly in the near future, between
Chile and the United States.
TEE BALTIMORE READY.
Il is believed today that the United States
cruiser Baltimore is prepared to enforce, il
such course is found necessary, proper treat
ment for her officers and sailors who may be
compelled by the necessities Of the service to
go ashore. 1t is not meant by this that Capt.
Schley will in any way irritate tho Chileans by
sending men or officers ashore when 1t is evil
dent that they are not welcome there. On the
contrary, everything possible will be done by
the Baitimores commander to avoid any
trouble. But for marketing, provisioning,
watering, Interchange Of messages between
\ H. Iv,-ix Cxax.. eko~
and other necessary duties men and officers
have to 60 ashore and the captain Of the United
States cruiser does not intend to be prevented
from attending to such duties.
But, rs the virtual boycott placed upon the
baltimore continues, Capt. Schley, ii he finds
1t necessary, will send armed men ashore and
will take other steps to insure their protection
ANOTHER FEATURE OF TIE TROUBLE.
It has Just become known that there is an
other feature of the Valparaiso outrage which
demands explanation. The municipal and gov
eminent officers of Valparaiso who made an in
vestigation of the attack upon the sailors Of the
Baltimore compelled the United States man-of-
wars men who were confined in prison to sign
q statement, written in Spanish, generating
the police from oil responsibility as to their
| arrest. As these papers had to be signed az
one Of the stipulations for the release Of the
blue jackets the men naturally did - they were
requested.
Another point which 10 not serving to allay
the ill-feeling existing is the fact that no
courtesy Of any kind WAS shown to the United
| States naval officers or men upon the occasion
Of the funeral Of Turnbull, the second man OF
the Baltimore's crew who died from the effects
| Of the injuries he received during the riotoui
attack made upon the blue Jackets.
Under these circumstances 1t 10 but natural
that the feeling Of uneasiness is increasing, and
that further trouble 10 anticipated.
HAS EaAN's RECALL BEEN REQUESTED?
The Epening Post Of New York says: Patrick
| Egan 10 to be recalled as minister to Chile i'm
| mediately after tho November elections, not on
| account OF the Baltimore episode, but on de-
mand Of the Chilean government according to
statements Of gentleman in this city who 10 in
/ constant communication with Valparaiso and
| Santiago, Lima and other South American
ports in Chile and Peru. The circumstances
| are related ~ follows by the gentleman re.
ferred to:
Immediately upon the accession to power oil
the Junta de Gobierno, after the downfall Of
Balmaceda, that body cabled to Senior Pedro
Mont in Washington directing him to assume
charge of the Chilean legation at Washington
| rs soon as the government Of the congressional
party in Chile should be recognized by the
United States. Neither the State Department
nor the Chilean legation of Balmaceds at Wash
Of Senior Montt, but told him that when duly
| written instructions were received from Chile
| the legation would then receive him (Montt)
| as Chiles representative in the United States.
| The fact Of Mont disappointment rs Chilean min
| lister at Washington was also communicated to
| Egan in Santiago, with the request that the
latter inform the Department Of State by
| cable Of Months status in the United States,
Is Mont had cabled his government that he
would be obliged to await his autographs Gre
| dentials. 1t 10 not known that Egan ever
| cabied this to Washington, 30 that Mont had
| to await the receipt Of his formal credentials
as minister from Chile upon their arrival by
the steamer Colon via Panama few days ago,
| and he lost no time In presenting them to the
State Department on Wednesday last.
Al the same time that Senior Mont was
| cabled to regarding his appointment as minis
| ter he received instructions through the same
channel to dcmsnd, in Chile's name, the recall
| Of Minister Egan as persona non grata to the
| present Chilean authorities.
This request of Chile was also shelved to
await the arrival Of Months credentials, and il
is believed in Chile as well as in Washington
that Egan knew that the Chilean government
| did not want him aud used the slow process OF
| tho mail to inform the State Department Of
Months appointment as minister. 1t is now
| stated upon the same authority that Chile has
again demanded Egan's recall and that the
| State Department will reply TO the Chilean gov
eminent after the elections have taken place
according to Chiiss request
