WASHINGTON, Jan. go. The president
sent to Congress the additional corre-
spondence in the Chilli matter:
Tho presidents message OF transmlttal is as
follows:
To tho senate and house Of representatives:
transmit herewith additional correspondence
between this government and the government Of
Chill, consisting OF o note Of Mr.. Montt the
Chilian minister az the capital, TO Mr., Blaine,
dated January %; reply of Mr.
Blaine thereto OF date January "a
and y dispatch from Mr.. Egan, our minister at
Santiago, transmitting the response Of Mr. Per.
cira the Chilian minister OF foreign affairs, to
the note Of Mr.. Blaine Of january 81, which was
received by me on the Goth inst The note OF
Mr.. Montt to Mr.. Blaine, though dated January
%, was not delivered nj the state department
until after l2 o'clock Of the 25th, and was not
translated and It's report notified until late in
the afternoon Of that day.
The response Of Mr.. Pereira 10 our note OF the
2lst, withdrnws with acceptable expressions Of
regret, the offensive note Of Mr.. Malta of the
llth ultmo and also the request for the recall
OF Mr.. Egan. The treatment OF the incident Of
the assault upon the sailors OF the Baltimore
Is so conciliatory and friendly that l
am OF the opinion that there Is good prospect
that the differences growing out OF that serious
| aIar can now be adjusted upon terms satisfac'
| tory to this government, by the usual methods
and without special powers from congress This
turn in the AFFAIR is very gratifying to me, as
am sure II will be to the congress and to our
| people.
The general support OF the efforts Of tho exec.
utlve to enforce the just right of the nation in
! this matter has given nn instructive and useful
| illustration OF the unity and patriotism OF our
| people.
Should It he necessary will again communi.
| cate with congress upon the subject.
BENZ. HARRISON
Washington, Jan. 2s, 1892.
Senior Pereira's reply to the United
| States ultimatum is very lengthy. II
is argumentative in nearly all its parts.
Among other things, Chili's minister
of foreign affairs says:
without any intention of paying u discussion
rs to the facts referred TO by the communica
tion, which have extracted, and combining my
self to the first part of the Instructions 10 thu
honorable secretary OF state, the undersigned
must state TO your excellcncy the regret will
which the government of Chilli secs that his ex
finds reason to continue TO regard the incidCn
! O! October ~ an attack caused by hoStil
! feeling toward the uniform of the navy of th
United States.
That unfortunate occurrence took place on
sudden, in district where the sailors of tn
vesses lying in the bay of Valparaiso are in th
habii Of assembling without distinction Of ma
tionality.
From the nature OF the incident It would b.
impossible to prove that there was no doubt a.
TO the special cause which served as its origil
or preteXt, but the undersigned can assert tina
that cause was not hostile feeling toward III
uniform Of the navy OF the United States, be
cause the people OF Chilli have always csteemet
and respected that uniform ever since the tim
when 1t saw II figuring honorably in the rank
OF tho soldiers and sailors who, in n glorious
struggle, gave it independence and established
the republic.
The undersigned admits that the occurrence
Of October l6 was of greater gravity than thos
which usually occur in the same district be
tween the sailors which frequent it, and the fac
OF knowing that two deaths have resulted from
1t among the sixteen wounded men of the Balti
moro has suniccd to give It an extraordinar,
character, and to induce the government o
Chilli to hasten to adopt the measures nccessar,
to discover and punish the guilty parties, TO OF
fer in due time, i; there should be ground for s.
doing, such rcparation as might be due.
