ernment that If tho representative oil the
United States at Santiago was not a
persona grata to the government OF Chlll IL
was sufficient for the government OF Chin SO
to state and that said representative would
be succeeded by another. In conferences
with you on the 20th inst, had the honor 10
state that the representative of the Uniteo
States at Santiago was not persona grata
TO the government of Chill, which would oe
very glad to receive another representative
from the United States"
In closing he suid II deem ii my duty TO
state in this note that the foregoing are facts
which show the friendly and cordial purpose
of our conferences in which you TOOK most
important part"
Secretary Blaine's Reply.
Blaine replied to Montt January %, IN
which the former corrected several mistakes
he said had been made in the latters nole
"Your offer Of arbitration was never un-
conditional and exact insisted on your re.
ducing it to writing, for IT would
have been my. duty to lay
before the president for consideration ration
But was unable to report the mere veroal
exchange of views between us rs an agree
| ment to arbtrate. Even then you always
| maintained that Chill would not vol
UNFAIRLY propose arbitration herself, ou5
S0sd somo aG friendly pc@er You w" say in

| lst of January that my government haa
| authorized me TO conclude on agreement

| impossible that j ever sought 10 oiho .ne
| government of the United States In that way.
| 1t would have been in the highest degree I'M
pudent for me to do So" .
| Referring to the Malta note, Blaine said:
"By your own statement you evidently az
tempted to justify the Malta note. certainly
| couid not accept your language and never dld
| accept language of that kind as an apology
sufficient for the case. The Malta note
| was highly dscourteous to the president
and secretary of the navy, imputing to them
untruth and insincerity. Such language
| does not admit of the conditional or contln-
| gent apology which you offered. IL could oe
| apologized for only by a frank withdrawal"
| Blaine then said he had asked Montt when
the latter was disparaging Egan, why he
| didn't ask for his (Egan's) recall, he (Blaine)
| intending there by not TO favor Egau's recall,
| but to put Q stop TO the frequent mention OF
Egan'S name.
| ChiIis Final Apology.
| The telegram from Egan dated Santiago,
| January 25, was received on the 10Th, trans
mitting the note of Minister of Foreign At
fairs Perera in reply to the uluimatum. The
| note is of great length. After reviewing
| the demands and statements made in
Egan's note, and stating that the attack on
| the sailors was not through hostile feeling
toward the uniform OF the navy OF the
| United States because it was respected by
the Chilians, Pereira said
and n corSerns ys% of ss ap to asse
i. has been impossible for the
trial initiated by the Judge of
the criminal court Of Valparaiso to be de-
cded. the undersigned regards it his duty to
declare once more that the government Of

and by way of showing the sincerity of his

government that the case be submitted tothe

partialty, may determine, without ap
peal, whether there Do any ground for
reparation, and in what shape 1t should be
| made"
Pereira excused the action of the police
In arresting the sailors by saying
they did so to protect the seq
men. He recalled the words Of
Secretary Blaine to the Italian minister in
regard to the New orleans affair as follows:
"There is no government, however civilized
it may be, however great may be
the vigilance displayed sayssa BY its or; Po 20
hrII inaiI code nIw'VGr may e'' pe, and d. however @
speedy and inflexible may be its administra
tion of justice, that can guarantee its own
cities against violence growing out OF midi
vidual malice or sudden popular tumult."
"This was precisely the situation of the
administrative authorities at Valparaiso
on the occasion of the occurrence
which took place IN October. The
undersigned hopes the foregoing will con-
vince the honorable secretary OF state that
| the government of Chill attaches due i'm
portance to the question now under discus
sion, and that he does not for moment hesi-
tate to condemn in vigorous terms the act
,,trta hn nf lRfn nn
to offer such reparation as is
just; and that he has not neglected to ex-
press these sentiments before now, since, on
various occasions and through the plenipo
tentiares OF both countries, he forwarded
explicit declarations on both subjects to
Washington"
Pereira declared that If the United States
should not accept the foregoing explanation
the Chilian government was willing to arbi-
