Why is Hogg now on his knees
before the peoples party advocates
begging them to re-elect him
Why did he kick them from the
day Of bis election up to the last
week? Why were they too big
for their breeches?" And now he
asserts that they are good demo
erafsl The answer is that, he has
found out that be could not bully
their leaders, nor coerce the rank
and file, and now he wants to be-
guile and conquer. It's too thin,

refugees forms an interesting part of the cor
respondence. but the purpOrt Of the notes is
given In every instance in Mr.. Egnns notes to
| the department. In u note from Malta to Egan
on the 26th OF September the former stated:
'Relatlng to the extraordinary and incredi-
Bile events taking place at the legation, the en-
| vOy extraordinary will permit me to excuse
| discussing the point, because everything done
and everything that will be done by the police
agents not only exercise the attributes incum-
bent upon the local authorities, which are bet
ter informed and better posted OF what takes
| place inside the legation and its vicinity than
appears to be the envoy extraordinary and
| minister plenIpoteptiary."
| Again, later, in the same note he says:
Possessing the Willingness and means to
impede and chastise all illicit attempts made by
the refugees the local authorities, supported by
the nation, will continue in the road they have
chosen respecting all the legal rights Of the
! persons and residence Of the envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary, but pre-
! venting, frustrating or chastising agents and
| agencies that have nothing to do whatever with
| the legation, but for the abuse they have COM
mitted or may commit OF the asylum granted
| them"
MR.. EaAN's REPLY.
| Mr. Egan replied on the same day, the fol-
lowing being an extract from his note:
| II have to thank your excellency for this
recognition, because it would indeed be very
unlikely that I should tolerate for one moment
! In this legation any proceedings contrary to
the spirit Of strict neutrality which, 40 repre-
sentative Of the United States, it is my duty "a

UNFoUNpED CHARGES.

Mr.. Blaine az follows:
''Mr. Egan states that in note sent inn the
minister for foreign affairs refuses safe couduct
or permission to refugees 70 leave the country.
and maintains the correctness Of all that has
been done by the authorities. The minister for

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Then ensues a relation of the incidents of the
negotiations for peace, conducted under the
auspices OF Mr. Egan, the Brazilian minister.
and the French charge. These negotia lions
Ia He'd. owing to the demand of each side to see
the basis of peace submitted by the other be-
FORE making any advances. The first confer
ence was with the representatives Of the. reyo-
lutlonists. held in the American legation at
Satago on the Sd OF May. The congressional
| lists made certain offers imposing the condition
| referred to. The negotiations then went on
the 9th. to the office of the minister of foreign
relations. MIR. Cruzat, but in his absence on
| account of sickness they conferred with Mr.
| Godoy. the minister of tie interior, who list
| ened to what the peacemakers had to say. but
| refused to make any offers until thew had been
/ appraised of the bases of the other side A
| further conference was had with the revolu-
/ tionists, who insisted upon their first position
The second conference with the government
was unsuccessful. owing to the fact that the
| attempt upon the life of Mr.. Godoy had taken
place only few minutes before and he was
incensed at the insurgents. Becoming excited
he declared the negotiations broken Of and
/ added that the safe conducts OF the conferees
| from the other side should be considered can
| celed. The three ministers protested forcibly.
| and. on leaving, placed the delegates in safety
in the legations. Later the president assured
| the ministers that the safe conducts were valid
and should be respected
DID NOT ADVISE PRIvArEERINa.
| On the 18th Of May Mr.. Wharton cabled Mr..
| Egan as follows:
''Sir: have to inclose, for your information,
| copy of q letter from MIR. ID. H. b. Davis OF
Lima, Peru, stating that it Ia rumored that you
| have advised the Government OF Chile to grant

Mr.. E9an denied this in q later dispatch in
