GILLIAN MATTERS OF INTEREST.

|
on CHILEAN affairs was laid before
Congress last Monday. The read
ing of the much talked of message
was listened to with much interest
in both branches of Congress which
were crowded with interested spec
tators eager to hear the full CORE
spondence between Chill and the
United States. Afterquoting from
his annual message the statement
made in regard to the CHILEAN con-
troversy, the President states the
belief that the time has arrived for
making the correspondence public.
Hereviews all of the evidence in the
case and says he feels compelled to
stand upon the demands of the note
of the 2lst to the United States
minister at Valparaiso. These de-
mands are that the CHILEAN govern
nlent must apologize and makerep-
aration for the assault upon the
Baltimore's sailors on October l6.
That the Malta circular note ofDe-
cember 13 must be withdrawn and
the language must be disavoWed
with as much publicity as it was
circulated, or diplomatic relations
with Chill will cease. Minister
EAGAN's recall will not be consid-
cred until these matters are dispos-
ed of. In stating his reasons for
making these demands, the Presi-
dent advises that Congress confirm
and enforce them.
An official dispatch from Santi-
ago Monday night says the CHILEAN
government has sent reply to the
ultimatum Of the United States.
The reply in effect is as follows:
Chill agrees to withdraw the Of
fensive note sent by Senior malta
E to all the CHILEAN ministers abroad,
and Acknowledges that its issuance
was due to an error Of judgement.
Chill also witbdraws its request
for the withdrawal of United States
Minister EGAN.
In addition to this the CHILEAN
government in its answer proposes
r that the affair of the attack on the
Baltimere's sailors in Valparaiso be
: submitted to the arbitration of some
t neutral nation.
If this proposition is not accept
l able to the United States Govern
ment, the CHILEAN government sug-
= gests that the matter be submitted
= to the settlement of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
: While the exact conditions of the
t dispatch from Minister EAGAN have
9 not been made public. the above
: statements are confirmed, and there
is reason to believe that the CHILEAN
government not only offers to with.
drawthe offensive note, but in adj
; dition offers to apologize for it. Il
> also agrees to the position taken by
the United States in regard to the
- right Of asylum and the safe con
duct of refugees.
: This latest phase of the situation
u created more or less sensation, com
o ing as it did on the heels, so tt
