The following is the telegram from
Minister Egan received by Mr.. Blaine
last Tuesday:
SANTIAGO, Chilli, Jan ., Is21To Blaine,
Washington: have to-day received the follow
ing reply TO my note of the I'D instant:
Sfr-The undersigned had the honor to re-
ceive your excellency-s Communication dated
I'D instant, received in this department sd,
and the only duly authenticated copies of
the instructions which the honorable sec
retary Of state of Washington has sent
to your excellency by cable under dates OF the
the instructions of the 21st the honorable sec
rotary of state informs your exceIlency that his
excellency, Mr. Harrison, after examining
carefully all that had been submitted
with respect to the event which occurred IN
Valparaiso the eve Of the 10th of October,
and taking into consideration the testimony of
the officers and crew of the vessel, the Balti-
arrived at the conclusion:
First, that, with regard to the assault, there
has been no change whatever made in the char
acter given to it by the first report of the event
tO-wlt: That 1t was an attack upon the uniform
of the navy of the United States, which had its
origin and motive in a feeling of hostility to
wards that government and not in any act OF
the Individual sailors belonging to it,
Second, that the authorities of Valparaiso
evidently did do their duty in protecting
these sailors and that part of the police and
some of the Chilians soldiers and sailors
rendered themselves guilty of unprovo1ed as
sault on the sailors of the United States before
and after the latter were arrested, and that he
believed Riggin killed by the police Tho
soldiers.
Third, that he is consequently compelled K
carry the question back to tina state in which il
was placed by the note of Hon. Mr.. Wharton
dated October q, and to ask for suitable salts
| faction and some adequate PREPARATION for The
| injury done the government OF the United
| States.
The demands Of Secretary Blaine ART
| and Mr.. Pereira, Gillian minister
of foreign affairs, states the regre
with which the Gillian government
sees the United States continue to re
| gard the incident of October Is as al
| attack caused by hostile feeling to
wards the United States. He says tina
| sudden. He admits the incident was o
greater gravity than usual; that the
preliminary examination into tn,
attack on the Baltimore's mel
| was commenced on the morning
| following the night of the conflict. bu
the investigation could not be finished
with the rapidity the Gillian govern
ment desired because the rules o.
| criminal procedure in Chilli are slow
that Chill is willing that the case bs
submitted to the supreme court a
| Washington. He also states that hi:
| government sent force 10 the scene o.
the conflict without delav; that it was
stated to the interpreter of the Balti
more that the object of the police in ar
| resting the crew of the ship was tc
protect them from any attack by eX
cited people. Mr.. Pereira then recalls
| the circumstance that his government
has, through its minister at Washing
| ton, expressed the desire to submit any
misunderstanding to arbitration by any
| power.
As for the dispatch addressed under
| date of December IL to the CHILEAN
minister in Washington by the minis
ter of foreign relations of the pro.
|
| mits that there should not be On the
government of Chilli a purpose to in.
| aict any offense upon the government
| of the United States. with which it de.
| sires ever to cultivate the most friendly
| relations and he deplores that in thai
telegram there was employ ed, through
| an error of Judgment expressions
| which are offensive in the Judgment Of
your government
Mr.. Pereira then concludes as fol-
lows:
The government of Chill cherishes the convic
| ton that the relations with the government
should be sincerely and cordially maintained
under the shelter of that mutual respect and
that good understanding which are based upon
| the just and equitable appreciation of the
facts and OF its appreciation TO be given the
spontaneous declarations made either side
/ The undersigned moreover declares that IN
presenting its explanation his government finds
its inspiration in the words of the instructions
! which 1 have quoted and which assure tine
| government of Chilli that the president is not
| disposed to eXac. ask anything which you
government would not under the sane circum
stances spontaneously concede. With sentf
| ments of distinguished consideration yoCl
| obedient servant, LUIS PEREIRA.
