December s. Mr. Blaine REQUESTS Mr.. Egan to
inform him who asked him for his
TESTIMONY IN THE BALTIMORE CASE.
which according to teIeg aph address received
by the Gillian minister MONTH from the home
ONCE was requested Of him twenty days ago
and not given.
December 4, Mr. Egan telegraphs the follow
ing about the impeachment proceeding affecting
some OF the refugees: The secretary OF the
chamber OF deputies has IN writing requested to
be allowed notify the refugees in person" Mr.
Egau replied he could not with propriety have
communication with this officer and ne would
not receive any personal service in the IeEa-
ton without being instructed. On the same
day he replies 10 Mr.. Baine's query as TO the
evidence IN the Baltimore case that he
had referred the minister OF foreign
affairs TO Captain Schley and the captain had
furnished all the Information by giving him
names Of the witnesses and by sending his men
/ before the Judge. In a letter OF the same date
| Mr.. Egan speaks OF the publication by the press
! OF the legal proceedings then progressing de-
spite It's then supposed secrecy and that the ef-
tect mas been a number Of very bitter
criticisms and attacks upon the United
States, its navy and legation. He
enclOses more correspondence between
himself, Captain Schley and the intendente
The last named in a communication to Captain
Schiey says during the trial IL was necessary to
remove by force from the court room one or two
sailors OF the Baltimore VINO presented them
selves in a state of intoxicatiou. The intendente
/ says; perhaps that incident will acquanJ
/ the captain OF the Baltimore better thau the
actual proceeding OF the trial with the real
origin with one OF the causes that must awe
had much influence in the disorders of the 18th
| OF October. Captain Schley returned a deuinl
OF the allegation December 10.
/ Mr.. Blaine again asks Mr.. Egan whether the
minister OF foreign affairs asked him for testi-
Inony, which the lillian minister SAYS was re-
] quested OF him in the baltimore case and was
not given. December l3 was preached

July the whole Itata case, the san Francisco
