dividual malice or sudden popular
tumult.'
This was precisely the situation Of
the administrative authorities at Val
paraiso on tho occasion of the occur
renee which took place in October. The
undersigned hopes that the foregoing
will convince tho honorable Secretary
OF State that the government of Chilli
gives due Importance to the question
under discussion and that he does not
for moment hesitate to condemn in
vigorous terms the act committed on the
10th OF October, or to offer such repara-
ton as is just, and that he has not
neglected the opportunity to express
these sentiments before now, since ON
various occasions, and through the
plenipOtentiaries of both countries, he
has forwarded explicit declarations on
tho subject to Washington.
Notwithstanding that the judicial
authorities hold the guilty parties re-
sponsible for the disorder of October 16,
the undersigned must recall the circum-
stance that the government of Chill,
through the medium of its minister in
Washington, has expressed the desire
to submit any misunderstanding to the
arbitration of any power which may be
indicated, and in fact arbitration was
suggested in conference with the minis
ter Of Chilli in Washington on the both
of December, when the government of
the undersigned declared it's good will
and Its resolve to accept arbitration
after the final Judgment, which would
not be further delayed many days.
"There is therefore submitted to the
honorable Secretary of State of the de-
partment on foreign relations of Wash.
ington, a designation of either the
Supreme Court of the United States on
tribunal of arbitration TO determine
/ the reparation which Chilli may have to
make for the lamentabfe occurrence.
"As for dispatch addressed under
date of eleventh of December to
the Gillian minister in Washington by
the minister of foreign relations of the
provisional government, the under
signed submitted that this could not be
on the part of the government of Chilli
a purpose to intlict any offense upon
the Government of the United States,
with which it desires ever to cultivate
the most friendly relations. Conse-
quently undersigned deplores that in
that telegram there were en-
ployed, through error of Judgment,
expressions which are offensive in the
Judgment of your Government, declar-

of courtesy and sincerity toward a
friendly nation that the government of
Chilli absolutely withdraws said express
sions. The undersigned trusts that this
frank and explicit declaration, which
confirms that which had already been
made to the honorable Secretary of
State in Washington, will carry to the
mind of his eXcellency, Mr.. Har-
rison, and of his Government, that
the people of Chilli. far from en-
PERTAINING feeling of hostility, have a
lively desire to maintain unalterable
good and cordial rotations, which up to
the present time exists between the
two countries, declaration which is
made without reservation in order that
it may receive such publicity in your
Government as may be deemed suitable.
With regard to the suggestion made
touching a change of the personnel of
your legation, to which the instructions
of the honorable Secretary Of State re
fer, it is incumbent upon the under
signed to declare that the government OF
Chilli will take no positive steps without
tho accord of the Government of the
United States, with which it desires to
maintain itself in friendly understand
