was not supported by other direct testimony
and by the distressing condition OF the man
himself when he was finally able to reach his
vessel. The captain of the vessel says: "He
came back a wreck: black from his neck to
his hips from beating, weak and stupid, and
is still in kind Of paralyzed condition and
has never been able to do duty since"
A claim Of reparatiou has been made in
behalf of this man, for, while he was not
citizen of the United States. the doctrines
long held by us, as expressed in the consular
regulations, is: The principles which are
maintained by this Government in regard
to the protection, as distinguished from the
relief, Of seamen are we'll settled. It is held
that the circumstance that the vessel is
American is evidence that the seamen on
hoard are such; and in every regularly
documented merchant vessel the crew will
find their protection in the flag that covers
them"
have as yet received no reply to our note
of the 2lst inst, but, in my opinion, ought
not to delay longer to bring these matters
to the attention Of Congress for such action
as may be deemed appro oriate.

Tho Ultimatum.

The following is the ultimatum which Sec.
retary Blaine telegraphed on January 81 to
Mr.. Egan:
First-That the Baltimore assault Is not re-
lieved of the aspect which the early informa-
ton Of the event gave to 1t. WIS.,: That OF an
attack upon the uniform Of the United States
Navy, having its origin and motive in q feel.
ing Of hostility to this Government and not
in any act Of the sailors or Of any OF them.
Second-That the public authorities at
Valparaiso dagrantly failet in their duty
to protect our men, and that some Of the po-
lice and Of the Chilean soldiers and sailors
were themselves guilty Of unprovoked as
saults upon our sailors before and after ar.
rest. The President thinks the prepoEder.
ance Of evidence and the inherent probabit-
ties lead to the conclusion that Riggin war
killed by the police or soldiers
Third-That the President is therefore
compelled to bring the case back to the posi-
tion taken by this Government in the note Of
Mr.. Wharton Of October 81 last Ia copy Of
which YOU will deliver with this, and to ask
for suitable apology and for some adequate
reparation for the injury done to this Gov
ernment.
Blaine's dispatch further said: "You will
assure the Government Of Chile that the
President has no disposition to be exacting,
or to ask anything which this Government
would not, under the SAID circumstances,
freely concede. He regrets that from
the beginning the gravity OF the questions
involved has not apparently been appre-
ciared by the Government of Chile and that
an affair in which two American seaman
were killed and sixteen others seriously
wounded, while only one Chilean was
seriously hurt, should not be distinguished
from an ordinary brawl between sailors in
which the provocation is wholly personal and
the participation limited. No self-respecting
Government can consent that per.
sons in its service, whether civil, or military,
shall be beaten or killed In a foreign terri.
tory in resentment Of acts done by or i'm
puted to their Government without exacting
suitable reparation. The Government Of
the United States has freely recognized this
principle and acted upon it, when the in
jury was done by its people to one
holding an official relation to a
friendly power, in resentment Of acts done by
the latter. In such case the United States
has not sought for words Of the smallest value
or Of equivocal meaning in which to convey
its apology. but has condemned such acts in
vigorous terms and has not refused to make
other adequate reparation."

to the ultimatum of the United States. The
reply Is in effect as follows:
Chile agrees to withdraw the often

all the Chilean Ministers abroad, and

due to an error of judgment. Chile also
withdraws its request for the withdrawal OF

this, the Chilean Government in its answer
proposes that the affair OF the attack on the

ted to the arbitration OF some neutral Ma.
