leans Mt Santiago.
New YoRx, Oct. 1.-The H7aM has
r.criycd tho following cable from its
correspondent at Valparaiso;
an enabled to send YOU further
PARTICULARS OF the trouble between the
authorities at Santiago and Minister
Esan. ,uo,;,,, lam.
,t,n aEnI its vicinity were watched by
, y" noIire during all OF last week. On
iast Friday three Americans were placed
,r,irr arrest. Their names nre lilll.
. u Madden and Rayprast. They
I"i visited Mr.. Egan ut the Legation,
n ,r, ware on their way back when taken
;n,o custody. Mcssrs. %liillmann and
Walden made n business call. Mr., Kay.
mros, had gone TO tho Legation to OBJ
An tLrec were locked up. Mr.. Ray.
rro.t was kept in prison for some hours.
Sirssrs. llillman and Madden we're
.'Ecn TO the lntendcncia and detained
70, ~ short time, when they were re.
iOascd, In addition to this two OF Min.
;.,cr E,rn's servants were thrown into
rri.on md kept there for two days, DO.
;nr released on Saturday. The vigorous
"rno,r., OF the American Minister caused
;Ic Irnta TO withdraw its police. Com.
mSrdcr Schlcv, Of tho Baltimore, which
Eli lies in the harbor OF Valparaiso, Is
now at santiago in conference with Min
;strr Egan. | have no means at present
al finding ont the result OF their meet
in.
.Junta and the United States minister
has qnicted down, and a chance is al
iorlcd OF reviewing the events OF the
mat few days, it is my impartial con
yyirtion that Tho actions OF which Min
istcr Egan has had reason 10 complain
were taken by irresponsible officials.
There does not appear to have been any
sanction BY the Junta's Cabinet Of the
uoIicc espionage and arrests. In fact, l
nm informed on what ! deem the best
oi authority, that a majority OF the
Cabinet discOuntenanccd the proceed
inc, and gro DESTROYS that tho utmost
rcJce should prevail throughout the
country, go as 70 regain all OF Chile's
former prestige. For this reason they
are avoiding, SO fur as in their power,
all troubles with outside parties.
As an example OF the bitter feeling
entertained by the masses in this city
toward the American government, I.
might cite their conduct at the theatre
the other night. Cleary's opera troupe
Ind the American flag figuring in their
entertainment, but were forced to take
the Stars and Stripes from the pro-
grammc.
In interviews with n number OF
prominent merchants here, native and
foreign, | learn that the bnlk OF English
money invested in Chill is in Tarapaca
nitrate beds. Ii the slightest gratitude
exists in the Gillian Congressionalists
for the marked sympathy and support
Of the English people in this country
during the war, British investors may
consider themselves rs perfectly safe.
1t is not likely that any more money
VIII he invested here until the course
shaped out by the new government, to
he taken after the elections are over
las become manifest. The coal lands
III the south OF Chill are the only appar-
ent fields that will repay future invest
mcnts. Nothing more is now wantedin
he nitrate fields.
In the near future aggregate Claims OF
Slr5OO,U0 to $2,0OO,OGO will be presented
BY the English, German, Spanish and
Italian governments ior houses and
property destroyed at lquique, when
that town was bombardcd, and at VAL
paraiso when this city was sacked, after
the overthrow OF B%aImaceda; also for
losses caused by detcntions OF shipping
and ior the use OF private railroads dur
iGs the past eight months
