Business with Chile Transacted Through
Minister Egan,

Business With Chile Transacted Through
Minister Egan.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-The Recorders
Washington special says: The admin
istration awaits a report from Minis
ter Egan as TO the intention of the
Chilean government. The minister has
been instructed to call upon the cabi-
net at Santiago for an immediate cate
gorical answer to the question whether
Chile has any intention of making a
favorable response to the demands of
the United States either now or at
some future time. Al answer to the
demand is expected hourly, but up to
last evening nothing had been re-
ceived. Dispatches have come from
Minister Egan, but none of them has
conveyed any information of a nature
to change the conditions of the contro-
versy.
A definite declaration of the Chilean
government that, If given time to allay
the feeling at home, it will withdraw
the offensive Malta note and will
make an apology to the United States
for the Valparaiso outrage, will be ac-
copied by our government in good
faith, and every opportunity be af-
forded the distracted republic to make
good its pledge.
Refusal to answer Egan's request
one way or the other will have but one
meaning.
In sending to Minister Egan it's de-
mand for a categorical answer from
Chile the administration has deliber-
ately ignored the presence of Minister
Mont as the representative of the
Santiago government. The question
is one of SO much deiicacy and the
answer of the Chilean government will
be so momentous in its consequences
that President Harrison has thought it
wise not to complicate the situation by
bringing the Chilean representative at
Washington into the negotiations The
stu at is more critical than at any
previous period of the controversy.
The cabinet would not be surprised il
Minister Montt, finding himself set
aside in the negotiations, should con-
clude to withdraw from the country.
The action of the administration was
taken with this possibility fully in
view. The time for diplomatic subter-
fuge has passed and there will be no
more delay for any cause unless the
Chilean government states definitely
and at once its intention to satisfy fully
the demands of the United States. IL is
known that President Mont is har-
raised by factions and is being bounded
by disconnected politicians. The
strength of the congressionalists lies
entirely in the large cities like VAL
paraiso and Santiago. The country
districts are loyal to Balmaceda and
would welcome an opportunity to incite
a revolt, and President Harrison has
been ready from the beginning to make
allowances for these conditions IL the
Santiago government would intimate
In the most private way possible that
internal dissensions were entirely re-
sponsible for the delay, but no such in
timation has been received at any
3tage.

Government Agents Charged With Total
Neslect--Appeal To the Public.
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 90. - The
indians on the Fon du Lac reserva-
ton near here have addressed n letter
to Bishop MeGolrick, the Catholic
biskop of the Duluth diocese, setting
forth in broken English a heartbreak-
ing condition of affairs and one that
should call for instant relief at the
hands of the government Ghe Indians
clam they are starving and absolutely
freezing 10 death. They say it is of no
use to call on the Indian commissioner
for help, as his agents and deputies
have been u~nlawfully cutting and sell
ing timer Of their reserve, and since
they complained to him of this he has
been letting them starve. Bishop Me-
Golrick says: These Fon du Lacs are
starving. They have not been well
treated by the government / laid this
matter before the proper authorities
last year but nothing came oft. Moth.
ing now remains but to appeal TO the
public. While we are aiding Russian
sufferers we must not allow fellow
creatures at our doors to perish"
