/. MAITA'S LETTER
10 BE Withdrawn by Chilli and
Another Substituted
Which Will Not Be an Insult to the
United States.
Had Political Reasons for Not
Doing So Earlier.
CHILL SAID TO BE ANXIOUS FOR
ARBITRATION.

Said That the German Emperor VIII Be
an Apology First from His Minister
who Has Treated Mr.. Egan Undiplo-
maticaIly-secretary Blaine and Minis
ter Montt Negotiating for Peaceful
Settlement of the Trouble.
VALPARAISO. Jan. BIT. appears that
at meeting of President Months old
cabinet, called to discuss President Har
rison's message, Minister Malta was
authorized to reply to it. He wrote out
the document and cabled it to the
Chilian minister at Washington, Senior
Montt, without ever having submitted
it to President Montt or the other mem
bers of the cabinet. In spite of this
omission, Minister Malta, in sending a
letter to Minister Egan on the same sub
ject, stated that the document was the
official utterance of the Chilian govern
ment. He made similar statement be-
fore the senate.
When the truth was known it was
then too late for President Montt or the
other members of the cabinet to disavow
responsibility for the curt tone of the
reply, and at the same time avoid giving
offense just then to the Radical party,
of which Senior Malta was the leader.
Now, however, the Radical party,
well as the. leading members Of con-
gress, are fully inclined to disavow and
condemn the retired minister's words.
The present ministry is preparing an
other document as a substitute for Senor
Matta's undiplomatic letter. The Chill
ians regret the first letter, which was
insulting to the United States.
1t is stated here that the German en-
peror will be proposed as an arbitrator
in the Baltimore case, but that before
this is acceded to by the United States
an apology will be asked from the Ger
man minister, Herr Gutzshmidt, for cor
tain alleged undiplomatic proceedings
on his part toward the American gov
ernment'S S representative.

HARDLY SATISFACTORY TO US.
The Result of the Investigation as Made
by Chill.


The prosecutor fiscal has concluded
his review of the Baltimore case He
finds that Rodrigues, Gomez and Azu-
moda, the three rioters who were held
by Judge of Crimes Foster are guilty of
stabbing and otherwise wounded the
American sailors, but he says that the
evidence is not strong enough to show
that the wounds inflicted by the prison
ers caused the death of Boatswain' s
Mate Charles Riggin and Coalheaver
Turnbull. He finds the Baltimore sailor
Davidson guilty of assault upona Chilian
sailor.
1t now only remains for Judge of
Crimes Foster to pass sentences on the
three convicted prisoners. The fiscal
comes to the conclusion that it is imp, p,,,-
sible to determine who fired the anot
which killed Riggin.
1t will be remembered that one of the
witnesses according to Judge Fosters
report, testified that he saw three police
men holding Riggin at the time the fatal
shot was fired.
