WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-There is likely
to be an interesting international diff
ference between the United States and
Chill,
The Navy Department has received
cable report from Captain Schley of the
U. S. Ship Baltimore, which gives the
particulars concerning the attack made
by Chlians on two boat crews of Amer
lean sailors. The names of the injured
Americans are Hamilton Talbot, Turn
bull, Anderson, Davidson and Painter.
Capt. Schley cables that the mob was
composed of Gillian sailors and that
the attack was planned. 1t is also stated
that boatswain mate Regain was shot by
a policeman.
The American sailors were assaulted
at various places throughout the city.
In view of the imminence of trouble
Capt. Schley advises that Rear-Admiral
Brown be directed to come at once to
Valparaiso to aid by his presence in see
ing full justice done to the victims of
the cowardly, bloodthirsty rut1ians who
tried to murder unoffending Americans
The report of Capt Schley, viii CHI Sec
rotary Tracy laid before the President
yesterday, will be considered at to-day s
cabinet meeting.
To Demand ndemnity.
The opinion is that Minister Egan will
be instructed to demand immediate rep
aration and indemnity from the CHILEAN
government
81 mean to have no more of this bust
ness from any nation" said the Presi-
dent, land the demand upon Chill must
be Immediate and peremptory."
There will be four of the most power
full ships of the United States Navy at
Valparaiso when the demand is made,
enough to enforce it if necessary, which
is what the President means to do.
There is much bitter feeling against
English officials ia Chill on the part Of
! American officers there, and a collision
between the two is sure to occur if any
more provocation is offered by English
men.
A Serious Aspect.
For the first time since this difference
between the United States and Chill has
arisen the matter really looks serious.
Capt. Schley is one of the best and
most plucky officers who wears the
American uniform, and he has informed
Secretary Tracy that it has become i'm
possible for American officers to &c
ashore without being insulted, and that
hereafter they mean to go armed, and
resent insults in the proper way.
1--WE are losing our self-respect by per-
hitting these things" says Schley, "and
the younger officers are wild with rage,
and cannot be much longer estra ined. -
81 do not want them to be further re-
strained" said Secretary Tracy to one
of the commodores on duty at the head
of great supply department, land
have told Schley So Therefore any day
may bring news of a serious emeute
between the Americans and the Chilia1
mob, instigated and secretly encouraged
it is believed here, by persons high il
authority there
