Gist Of the corrsspondsnceI
The president also sent to congress
the additional correspondence in the
Chilli matter. First was Chili's answer
10 the sltimatum of the 2lst. dated
January 25 and received at the state
department January %. 1t acknowl-
edges the receipt OF the instructions
sent through Minister Egan, with the
conclusions OF President Harrison as
respondenee. but concludes az follows:
Without any intention Of opening . discus
esn as 10 ths facts referred 10 BY tho communi
cation. which have extracted. and csanning
himself 70 the Arst part Of the instructions Of
the hoaorssls secretary OF state, the under
signed must state 10 your exeellenoy the regret
with which shs severrnSss Of Chilli secs that
his sxcsllsney, The president OF the
united States, fnds reason 10 continue 70 re
gard the incident of October A. attack caused
by . hes Tie feeling towards the uniform Of the
navy Of the United States. That unfortunate
occurrence took place on . sudden in district
where the s>ilers sf the vessels lying in the bay
OF Valparaiso are in the habit OF assembling
without distinction Of nationality"
Net Against the untsed ssatea
Letter Il. received under date of Jam
uary 80, asserts that the cause of the
incident at Valparaiso was not hos
tile feeling toward the uniform of the
United States. because the people
of Chilli have always esteemed and re-
spected that uniform ever since the time
when ii saw it kguring honorably in the
ranks Of the soldiers and sailors who
in q glorious struggle gave IL inde-
pcndence and established the rcpub-
lie" II admits the occurrence OF Oc-
tober 16 was OF greater gravity than
thos- which usually occur in the same
district. and the fact that two deaths
had resulted from it has suiiced
TO induce the government of
Chhi to hasten To adopt the
measures necessary TO discover
and punish The guilty parties and offer
such reparation as might be due The
Chilian government has been com
pelled 90 delay, greatly to its regret,

spontaneous offer q reparatisn for any
injury done the sailors of the Balsi-

The letter containing refers TO the
civil war that Chill had just undergone
and holds that some allowance should
be made. as the police were not prop
