WASHINGTON, Oct N.-Chili Is to b
brought to terms. Forbearsncs has
ceased to be virtue on the part Of the
United States and the Chilian junts |
will know it as soon as Minister EgaD |
makes certain communication to them. |
A serious turn Is given the Valparaiso
affair by the dispatch Of Capt Schley |
reciting the result Of . court Of
inquiry as to the origin Of the
assault on the American sailors This |
dispatch was the subject of . long con- |
ference at the white house Friday af.
W. j. Foster representing the state de- |
partment Secretary Tracy and Attor.
ney General Miller. The climax was
reached by the latest information |
showing that the sailors hsd
been stsbt ed in the back, and
that the wounds were inflicted by
bayonets in the hands ct policemen-
This news destroyed the theory Of .
mere row and showed that the au-
thorities, instead of doing their duty,
must be held responsible for the attack.
1t also showed that the American sail
ors could not have started . mere
brawl They were victims OF Chilian
hatred and Chilian insolence.
The president and the members OF
the conference agreed that halt must
be called and at once upon Chilian in
suits. When the conference broke up
Mr.. Foster carried in his pocket q
cablegram to be sent to Min
lister Egan which shows that the
United States has decided to
enter on a decidedly aggressive
policy with the junta The cable.
gram instructs Mr.. Egan. to satisfy
himself of the correctness of the con-
illusions of the Schley court Of in
quiry, and if the particulars are found
as reported to demand at once in
demnity for the sufferers, suitable
apology and punishment for all the
offenders engaged in the barbarous
and unwarranted attack upon our sail
ors Under the circumstances as re-
ported by the court of inquiry the
presidents advisors agree that this
country has perfect right for
complete and full reparation.
The affair is regarded as some
thing more than street riot or row be-
tween sailors 1t is an attack upon
representatives of the United States
government, not by private citizens of
Chill, but by Chilian sailors and Chilian
policemen, the men whose duty it is to
preserve law and order.
What the administration will do in
case it's demands are not promptly
complied with is matter the officials
do not care to discuss, but the present
temper is against any more dilly daily
ing, and unless Chilli does the proper
thing it is not saying too much to pre-
dict that the demand will be backed up
by warships.
At the conclusion of the conference
Secretary Tracy made the following
statement:
From a dispatch received from Capt. schley

New YORK, Oct. A-The steel cruiser
Boston has been ordered sail to rein
force the United States squadron in
Chilian waters. 1t has been rumored
that the South Pacific was the station
to which the new vessel would be
ordered, but not till the riots
in the streets of Valparaiso did
the navy department issue specific in
structons. These were received by
Capt. Gilbert C. Wiltse Wednesday.
The secretary directed him to proceed
to Valparaiso as soon as his ship was
ready for sea and report to the senior
naval officer there. The Boston

SANTIAGO DE CHILL, Oct 24.-United
States Minister Egan has received from
Capt Schley, of the Baltimore, full
report of the regent attack on the Bal
timore's sailors The report shows the
attack to have been brutal and coward
ly and to have been made because the
men were Americana Mr.. Egan win
present the matter to his gov
ernment but will not make
formal demands upon the Chilian
government until he hears from the
state department The Chilian gov
ernment has informed Mr.. Egan that
safe conducts viii not be issued for the
refugees now in the United States lega-
ton. The supposed ground for the re-
fusal is that the men are criminals.
Mr.. Egan continues to demand safe
conducts for the men. The question
no " appears far from settlement
