VALLEJO, Cal, Jan. IA genuine
sensation was developed i'll the Balti-
more investigation today, a thing EN-
tirely unexpected at this last stage of
the proceedings. The case had dragged
along slowly in the morning session, a
number of sailors being recalled TO tes-
tify as to the SobernesS of Riggin, Turn
bull and Davidson before and during
the riot. After recess, however. Sur
geous Stitt and White, of the Balti-
more, took the stand. After testifyIng
10 the wounds of the members of the
BalumOrd'S crew, they declared that
the death of Turnbull was directly
caused by neglect at the hospital, where
he was carried by the police. The Chit
ians refused to allow the Batimore's
surgeons to treat the men, and de-
elined TO do it themselves, except in d
very superficial way. For four days the
surgeons
VaInIy Begged
Judge of Crimes Foster to allow them
TO remove the sailors to the Baltimore,
but not TIL it became probable that
Turnbull would soon die would he grant
them permission. The men were then
taken TO the ship, but it was too late for
Turnbun. Blood poisoning had set in,
and he died five days later. The sur
geOnS were positive death resulted from
neglect and imperfect treatment in the
hospital. l he sisters of charity, who
had charge, seemed to regret their in
ability to help the sailors, but had to
0bey the orders of their superiors.
From summing up by the surgeons,
J, n e h.
two sailors OF the Baltimore were
killed; five were seriously wounded,
being disabled for from nine to forty
four days and twelve received slighter
wounds, being disabled from two to
eight days. 1t further appears that if
Riggin had not been shot he would prob
Rbly have recovered as his knife
wounds were not very serious.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.-Comment-
Ing on the evidence given at the Baiti-
more inquiry, the Bulletin this after
noon says: 1t is very different from the
rOlOrlesS reports of the procurator fiscal
Of Valparaiso. 1t is story Of Que of
the most wantOu, revengeful and COW
Ardly Outrages which can be found any
where in modern history. A large part
Of the town canaille--police.s soldiers and
bdllOTS appropriated themselves on IN
armed sailors of the United States, and
stabbed, shot, beat, manned and i'll
treated them in every manner that
mob could Invent. The notion of a
sailors row, with some more than ordi-
nary aggravating incidents has to be
wholly laid aside. The Valparaiso up
rising was one of the most shocking
affairs that has taken place anywhere.
Uniformed Rr1zfeS
The Post says the testimony has
shown that the attack was premeGitated
and that the police aided to Kill and
wound our men, instead of protecting
them, as is being claimed. This puts a
much more seriOua aspect on the affair.
1t is shown beyond doubt that it was
well known in Valparaiso that the at
tack was to be made on the sailors of
the Baltimore, 1t is also shown that
among the aSSailantS were Valparaiso
policemen and CHILEAN soldiers in uni
form. Such being the facts of the case,
1t Is clear that the United States cannot
be satisfied with a simple apology ac-
eompanied by expressions of regret
There must be the fullest and most
complete reparation, with indemnity
for the men who were wounded and the
families of those who were killed.
