The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-01-16

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The President
to-day concluded his examination of the
diplomatic correspondence in the Chilean
controversy, and sent the documents back
to the State Department.
AT the Cabinet meeting to-day he an
nounced this. and indicated that his next
step in the case would not long be delayed.
The whole matter was discussed in a general
way, but no action was taken, as there is
nothing to be done until the correspondence
is published.
THE MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
1t is ascertained that the President will
accompany the transmission of the corre-
| spondence by message on the subject that
will advance certain propositions that W i'll
define the attitude of the administration in
very positive manner. The expectati on is
that he will have the message ready, so that
| it can be submitted to the Cabinet at its
| meeting on Tuesday next, and therefore it is
| thought that the earliest it can be sent to
| Congress will be Tuesday afternoon, or
| more probably Wednesday morning.
| h STRONG CASE.
| The Government investigation into the
| attack upon the Baltmore's sailors, con-
| Quoted at Mare Island, having come to an
| end, there now is no reason why the facts
| thus elected, which would seem to greatly
| strengthen the Governments case, should
! not be Incorporated in the documents sent
! to Congress, especially as portions Of the
| testimony have been mailed TO Washington
| from day to day, and the last batch of evil
| dence should be here in very few days.
| AT THE DEPARTMENTS.
A cable message was received at the
| Navy Department to-day from Com
| mander Evans of the United States ship
| Yorktown, at Valparaiso, but Secretary
/ Tracy said it contained no information of
| Importance. II is said at the Navy Depart
ment that it is not true that the MiantOnO-
| nah and the Newark have been ordered to
| the West Indies.
Senior Montt, the Chilean Minister. had
| a short interview with Secretary Blaine
to-day but it is understood he had nothing
/ TO communicate indicating a change Of
! policy on the part of Chile.

nearly three hours to-day. 1t is

! for the last week. They are unanimous in
| stating that there is an extremely unfriend-
ly sentiment against this country Try The re-

| take advantage OF any opportunity that of

CHARGES AGAINST EGAN.
All sorts of stories are current among the
pOpulace Of Santiago and Valparaiso about
Minister Egan. He is charged with hav-
ing received immense sums for protecting
the refugees lately under his roof and aid
The COnsuls Of other nations assure their
American friends that they had better
leave Chile as quickly as possible: that a
rupture between the United States and
Chile seems inevitable, and if this does
occur they will be in great danger Of losing
their property and lives.
REAIEY's REPORT EXPECTED.
The President expects full report Of
Judge Advocate Remey's investigation by
| Tuesday next. He is fully informed as 10
what it Will contain, and is preparing his
message so that it may be ready to
go to Congress by Wednesday noon.
He will send with it lot of photographs
and maps showing the streets and buildings
in which the attack in Valparaiso occurred.
He expects TO prove that the statements de-
clarng that the sailors were In diSreputable
parts of Valparaiso are untrue, but
that some of the most violent assaults were
made in the ariStOcratic residential portions
of the city. He says the evidence in his
possession proves that the attacks were SIM
ultaneous, and though the Americans were
two miles apart, at given hour the Balti-
mOTes sailors were 20 be attacked wherever
found. Though it was not definitely settled it
was understood that under no conditions
will Chile be allowed to 60 beyond this
month in replying TO the American demand.
| One thing was evident to every member of
| the Cabinet: it was that the trouble could
| have been avoided by recalling Minister
| Egan last September.

! President Harrison Is urging an immediate
reply to the demand made upon Chile by

that no specific requirements have been for
Narded TO Santiago. Up to this time only
