ON the evening OF the 10Th Of October,

vessel 'Bal.imore,' and Of others who
witnessed tho event, Inns arrived nj tho
following conclusions:
"First--l'hat, with regard 10 that

"rhe Honorable Secretary OF State,
Blaine, regrets that the government Of

raised, and that II has attributed 10

"rhe Honorable Blaine, In this con-
nection, recalls the fact that the gov
ernment OF the United States have
voluntarily recognized this principle,
aud has, accordingly, when injury has
boon committed by its people against
any one holding an Official position OF
"A foreign country, In consequence Of
acts which had aroused resentment.
In such oases tho United States have
never sought for words OF little weight
or ambiguous meaning In order to
make PREPARATION, but have condemned
such acts IN vigorous aud energetic
terms, and have never refused 10 give
other adequate satisfaction.
"rhe honorable secretary OF State,
blaine, etntes, moreover, that II is not
his intention to discuss the details OF
tho incident OF October, but only to
set forth the conclusion at which this
government has arrived. The honor
able secretary Of state says: we
have given every kind OF opportunity
10 the government OF Chile 10 offer cx-
planatory or extenuating circum-
stances, and we have given duo con-
alteration 10 the fact that the govern.
mont Of Chile during a great part Of
the time which has elapsed since the
10th Of October, has been In "a pro.
vislOnal sltuation.' He then adds that

rlson TO say that ho has been compelled
10 take notice OF the instructions sent
by Malta, minister OF foreign affairs, to
the Chilean minister In Mashington
under date OF December llth; because,
although they were not oil cially COM
municated to his government, they re-
celved the greatest possible publicity,
