from the iunta The burden of one of
the complaints at the White house con-
ference last Friday was that Mr.. Montt
has avoided the state department since
the establishment of the provisional
government, Notwithstanding that the
United States was the first to recognize
the new Chilian government. His neg
lect as the official representative of the
iunta was the subject of much unfayor-
able comment. He has now officially
notified Secretary Blaine that he has re-
ceived notice of his appointment by the
iunta as envoy extraordinary and min
lister plenipotentiary from Chill to the
United States Senior Romero, the
Mexican minister, accom- panied by Senior
Montt, arrived at the state department
about noon today. Minister Romero
performed his part by formally intro
ducing the diplomat, and Senior Montt
did the rest. He Informed Secretary
Blaine that the reason he had not pre-
| sented himself sooner was his absence
from the city almost continuously since
| the overthrow of Balmaceda.. He also
informed the secretary that he had now
received notification of his appointment.
The official documents which are neces
sary to establish him in his Office are
now on their way to Washington. Sec
retary Blaine received the Chilian with
all due courtesy. and any business that
requires the cooperation of the Chilian
representative will hereafter be trans
acted through Senior Montt The intsis
view was short and pleasant. As Soon
as Minister Months credentials arrive he
will be formally presented to the presi-
dent by Secretary Blaine. If the feel
ings of the Chilian representatives in
! this city are any reflex of the sentiment
entertained by their coGntrymen against
the United States, then the outrage at
Valparaiso can he understood. While
diplomacy places the seal of secrecy upoyy
| their official lips, in ordinary conversa-
ton the bitterest hatred and denuncia-
ton OF our government crops out !
visited the legation today to ascertain if
the visit of Senor Montt to the state d.
/ partment was indicative or a nlona eor
dial feeling between the two; countries
and the beginning of the end of the
! present bad feeling. / WAS infoI med
! that as tins goFernmeDt was apparently
running Things to suit itself, / would
have to look to the state department for
information. 1t was mot even admitted
that Mr.. Montt lad called at the de-
partment, much less waE there any s1g--
gestion ofsthe character Of the meeting
between him and Secretary Blaine. The
spirit that predominates at the. Ghilian
legation is not one calculated 9r bring
about an "entente cordiale' witI Chill. :
1t is a spirit of self-complacency- that :
Will admit of no question of the iuIE1sss >
rectitude, or Of the peace lble or dipnifsdI
character OF the Chilian government.
According to the idea, as expressed by
Mr.. julius Foster, the United States has
been playing tic part of Il tyrant 1t is
charged by him that che violated the
principles of neutrality ever since Secre-
tary Foster ordered the Itata to be held
at the port of San Diego The legation
has on file some fifteen charges against
this government, ranging from the al
legged partiality of Minister Egan to Bal
maceda, to the assertion that Admiral
Brown had the search light of the Balti-
more turned on the bay at Valparaiso to
prevent the torpedo boats of the insur-
gents from doing their work. The
changes are rung OH these allegations
until the Chilians have persuaded them
selves that they are a -long-suffering,
meek and patient people. Senior Montt
has announced that he has decided not
to say word officially. Mr. Julius Fos-
ter declares that he is not a diplomat,
nor does he believe in diplomacy, but he
must obey Mr.. Months orders.
