war vessels in the neighborhood gave assist ance

his son die than have Americans touch him and

foreign Office The Chilean boatmen in. the bay

OF the Yorktown, was stoned while waiting for
him at the mole.

afternoon, the keeper of one house into which
some of our men had gone closed his establish

had with Judge Foster. who is investigating
the case relative to the disturbance before he
WAS aware OF the entire gravity OF the matter
he informed me that the assault on my men
was the outcome OF hatred for our people
