The beginning of the outburst Of feeling
against the United States is noted in letter
from Mr.. Egau to Mr.. Blaine. dated September
| II, as follows:
Sir: Since the unfortunate incident Of the

those who were then in opposition 70 the Gov

United States; and the English element. as has
Always been their custom in this country, do all
| IN their power. from motives Of self-interest,
| to promote and foster this feeling. The more
reasonable men OF the party in power, on the
other hand, admit that mistake yas made on
the part OF some Of those Who on their behalf,
were responsible for that transaction, and that
the United States could not consistently have
taken any other course than the one she
adopted. Mr.. Isidoro Errazuriz, whom acting
as minister OF foreign relations, two weeks ago,
so stated to me without reservation.
The hostile element, however, has iet.no up-
portunlty pass OF misrepresenting and villify-
Ing everything pertaining to the United States.
In series OF articles published by Senior Don
OF the army Of the north, and which will in the
future be accepted as n reliable history Of the
struggle, he states that on the day Of the land

SENIOR MATTA's POSITION
The correspondence passing between Mr..
Egan and Senior Malta. the provisional minis
ter of foreign affairs, on the subject of these
refugees forms an interesting part of the cor
respondence. but the purport of the notes is
given in every instance in Mr.. Egnn's notes to
the department. In note from Malta to Egan
on the 26th OF September the former stated:
"Relating to the extraordinary and incredi-
BILE events taking place at the Legation, the en-
