ing the answer sent by Senior Malta at
the time Minister of Foreign Affairs. to
President Harrison's message, and which
was cabled Chile's Ministers in Europe
and America as the Governments reply
10 the United States. 1t appears that at a
meeting of President Months old Cabi-

Minister Malta was authorized to reply to
IT, lie wrote out document and cabled
1t TO the Chilean Minister at Washington,
without ever having submitted it to
President MOntt or other members of the
Cabinet.
III spite Of this omission, Minister
Malta, in sending a message to Minister
Egan on the same subject, stated that the
document was an official utterance of the
Chilean Government. He made similar
statement before the Senate. When the
truth was known it was too late for Pres
ident Mont or other members of the
cabinet to dlsaVow the responsibility for
the curt tone of reply, and at the same
time avoid giving otfense Just then to the
Radical party, of which Senior Malta was
the leader. Now, however. the Radical
party, as well as the leading members of
Congress, are fully inclined to disavow
and condemn The retired Minister'S

ing another document as a substitute for
Matta's undiplomatic letter.

will be asked from the German Minister,

diplomatic proceedings on his part to-
ward the American Governments repre-
SentativeS.
