| II gives me now great gratiticnttof TO
report that the Chilean government in
most friendly and honorable spirit
has rendered and paid as an indemnity
to the families Of the sailors of tho Bal
timore who were killed and to those
who were injured in the outbreaks in
the city OF Valparaiso the sum OF SI5,-
900. This has been accepted, not only
rs an indemnity for wrong done, but
as n most gratifying evidence that the
government OF Chile rightly appre-
ciates the disposition of this govern
ment to act in q spirit OF the most abb
solute fairness and iriendliness in our
intercourse with that brave people. a
further and conclusive evidence OF the
mutual respect and confidence now ex-
isting is furnished by the fact that
convention submitting to arbitration
the mutual claims Of the citizens OF the
respective governments has been agreed
upon. Some OF these:claims have been
pending for many years and have been
the occasion OF much unsatisfactory
diplomatic correspondence.
RELATIONS WITH SISTER REPUBLICS.
I have endeavored in every way to
assure our sister republics OF Central
andSouth America thatthe Unitedstates
government and its people hayo only
the most friendly disposition toward
them all. We do not covet their terri
tory. We have no disposition to DO OPP
pressive or exacting in our dealings
with any OF them, even the weakest.
Our interests and our hopes for them
all lie in the direction OF stable govern
ments by their people and OF the
largest development OF their great COM
mercial resources.
The mutual benefits OF enlarged COM
mercial exchanges and OF more ia
miliar and friendly intercourse between
our peoples we do desire, and in this
have sought their friendly cooperation.
l have believed, however, while holding
these sentiments in tho greatest sin
cerity, that We must insist upon Just
responsibility for any injuries inflicted
upon our official representatives or
upon our citizens. This insistance,
kindly and Justly, but firmly made, |
believe promotes peace and mutual re-
spect.
FRIENDLY HAWAII.
All our relations with Hawaii have
been such as to attract an increased
interest and must continue to do So l
deem it OF great importance that the
projected submarine cable, n survey
for which has been made, should be
promoted. Both Tor naval and CONNER
cial purposes we should have quick
communication with Honolulu. We
should before this have availed our
selves OF the concession made many
years ago to this government, for u
harbor and naval station ut Pearl river
Many evidences OF the frlendl!ness OF
the Hawaiian government have been
given in the past, and it is gratifying to
believe that the advantage and necessity
of continuance OF very close relations
is appreciated.
PEACE WITH ITALY.
The friendly act OF this government
in expressing to the government OF
Italy its reprobation and adherence OF
the lynching OF Italian subjects in New
Orleans, by the payment OF $4,000
francs, or S24,S30 30, was accepted by
the king OF Italy with every manifesta-
ton OF gracious appreciation, and the
incident has been highly promotive OF
mutual respect and good will.
FRANCES GALL
In consequence of the action OF the
French government in proclaiming
protectorate over certain tribal districts
Of the west coast of Africa, eastward of
the San Pedro river, which has long
been regarded as the southeastern
boundary of Liberia, l have felt con-
strained to make protest against
this encroachment upon the terri
tory OF republic which was
founded by citizens OF the United States
and toward which this country has for
many years held the intimate relation
of friendly counsellor.
THE MEXICAN FRONTIER oUTRAGEs.
The recent disturbance OF the public
peace by lawless foreign marauders on
the Mexican frontier have afforded this
government an opportunity to testify
its good will for Mexico and its earnest
purpose to fulfill the obligations OF in
ternational friendship by pursuing and
dispensing the evil-doers. The work OF
relocating the boundary OF the treaty
of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, westward from
FL Paso, is progressing iavorabiy.
TREATMENT OF AMERICAN MISSION ARIES.
Our intercourse with Spain continues
on friendly footing. Iregret, however,
not to be able toreport as yet the adjust
ment of the claims OF the American
missionaries arising from the disorders
at Ponape, in the Caroline islands, but
| anticipate satisfactory adjustment
in view OF renewed and urgent repre-
sensations to the governmental Madrid.
Tho treatment OF tho religious and
educational establishments OF American
citizens in Turkey has OF late called for
a more than usual share oil attention.
A tendency to curtail the liberation
which has so benifcially prevailed is
discernible and has called forth the
ernest demonstration OF this govern
ment.
Harassing regulations in regard to
schools and churches have been ut
tempted in certain localities. but not
without due protest and the assertion
of tho inherent and conventional rights
o. our countrymen. Violations OF
domicile ana search Of the persons and
effects OF citizens Of the United States
by apparently irresponsible officials in
the Asiatic vilayets, have from time to
time been reported. An aggravated in
stance of injury to the property OF an
American missionary at Bourdour, in
the province OF Konia, called forth
an urgent claim for reparation, which |
