which was elected last month has con-
vened, and it is expected that the con-
trOversies that have arisen between
Chill ana the United States will be laid
before that body, and it Is expected that
action will he taken soon. There is no
change, however, in the feeling which
is displayed here towards the Baltimore,
or iii the attitude of the CHILEAN public
towards Americans in general. The
officials of the Baltimore come ashore
only during the day, and the members
of the crew do not come ashore at any
time.
The officers and crews of the other
foreign men-of-war are allowed the lib
erty of the port at all times. Capt.
Schley is unwilling to subject his crew
to the possibility of anOthersattack, and
consequently the men ale confined to
the vessel. The captain visited the in
tendente recently, Informed him that
he desired to send ms market boats
ashore early in the morning to obtain
provisions, and requested the intend
ente TO give him some promise or guar
antee OF

to his market boats, and also to his
officers who might desire to come ashore
at night. The intendents declined to do
SO, and since then the Baltimore has
been supplied with provisions by boats
from the shore, which 90 out to the
cruiser, mile from the landing pier.
The members of the crew of the Balti-
more have subscribed nearly $500 in
gold and purchased a monument to

Another case of cruelty to an Amer
lean seaman occurred when the Amer
lean steamer Keeweenaw stopped here
for repairs month ago. One of her
crew was arrested for drunkenness.
The man admits that he was drunk. but
he says he was given no hearing at all,
and was refused permission to COM
municate with his captain on the vessel
or the consul. He was kept at WORE
cleaning the streets for more than a
week and was brutally beaten by
the police. When he was released,
he was scarcely able to walk. His back
and arms were mass f bruises. and,
according to the statement OF the navy
surgeon who examined him, he re-
ceiyed severe internal injuries which
will prevent him from working tor sew
eral months. Consul McCreery took tn e
man TO the intendente to show him his
injuries, but the intendente declined to
look at him. though he promised that he
would investigate the matter.
President ETOntt's View.
President MOntt consented to be in
teryiewed relative to Mr.. Harrlson's
message, which is regarded by MANY
prominent people in Chilli as being in
tended to prepare the American people
for hostile movement against this
country. President Montt said he was
American people would Judge the Balti-
more affair without bias. There was no
doubt in his mind that the congress of
the United States would act with fair
ness in the matter, and that justice
would he done by the governments of
both the United States and Chill.
The closing sentences of Mr.. Harri-
sons message" said President Montt,
''shOw that he will await The conclusion
of the investigation now being made be-
fore taking aggressive action. So be-
lieving. l haven't the slightest idea of
any trouble between the two countries.
We are desirable OF cultivating amicable
relations with all countries, and have no
desire for any difficulty with the United
States"
No acknowledgment has been made
of the receipt of the letter sent the
CHILEAN government Nov. 9, asking for
copies of the testimony of witnesses iii
the investigation into the Baltimore
affair. Six days ago reply was sent to
the letter of Secretary Blaine 10 Minis
ter Montt at Washington, in which the
American secretary OF state says that
safe conducts were granted the refu-
gees who were in the German
and French legations, which privi-
lege was denied those seeking
asylum i'll the American legation. The
reply was sent to Secretary Blaine di-
rect and said no such permits have been
granted, that no safe conduct has been
issued to any of the refugees in any of
the foreign legations. and that Mr..
Blaine can keep himself well informed
through the CHILEAN legation at Wash
ington."
The Baltimore Sails.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received a cable
message from Capt. Schley. command
ing the United States steamship BaIti-
more, saying she sailed yesterday for
San Francisco for the purpose
of being locked and scraped.
The Yorktown is now the only
American war ship at Valparaiso, but
she will be Joined there in about ten
days by the cruiser Boston, which
sailed from MOntevideo few days ago.
The fact that the navy department has
thought proper to permit the Baltimore
to leave Chill at this time is regarded
here as evidence that the negotiations
now in progress between the two
countries are being conducted salts
factorily to the United States. 1t
is stated at the navy depart
ment that the secretary intends to keep
several men-of-war in South American
waters until all signs of unpleasantness
have disappeared. They will cruise
upon both sides of the South American
continent so as to be within call should
emergency arise. Even now on their
way southwark in the Atlantic are the
Philadelphia, Concord, Chicago, Essex,
Atlanta, Bennington, and in the Pacific
the Yorktown. Iroquois, San Francisco
