MORE CORRESPONDENTS
WAsHINGToN Jan. 28.--The last
part of the correspondence between
Minister Egan and this government
was given out yesterday.
January 2oth, Egan reported that
The minister Of foreign affairs prom
ised bin, in the course of an inter
view several days before, regarding
the withdrawal of Matta's Dispatch,
to consult with his colleagues and
return the reply in another inter
view. He says this promise is not
yet fulfilled, and asks whether the
telegram has been Withdrawn in
Washington in terms entirely salts
factory to President Harrison and
Mr. Blaine, as the correspondent Of
the New York Herald and so told
the under secretary.
On January 2lst Secretary Blaine
telegraphed to Egan the presidents
conclusions upon the whole case,
which are quoted in the presidents
message to congress. The dispatch
said: We have given every oppor-
tunity to the government of Chilli to
prrsent any explanatory or mitigat-
lug facts, and have had due regard
20 the fact that the government of
Chill was for a considerable part OF
the time, since October 18th, upon "a
provisional basis. ] am further di.
rected by the president to say that
his attention has been called TO the
note of instructions sent by Malta,
secretary of foreign affairs, to you.
Mr.. Montt very Lrudently, and j
must suppose, from "a just sense of
the offensive nature of the dispatches,
refrained from communicating IL
officially To this government, ut, in
view of the fact that Montt was
directed TO give it TO the press of
this country, and it was given the
widest possible publicity through
out the world, this government
must take notice of it. You are
therefore directed to say to the Chill
ian government that the expression
therein impartinS untruth aud iu-
sincerity to the president and to the
secretary of the navy in their Off
cial communication to the congress
of the United States are in the high
est degree offensive to this govern
ment. The president was disposed
TO regard the dispatches referred to
as indicating purpose to bring
nhont suspension of diplomatic
relations. am now, however, di-
rected by the president to say that
If the offensive parts of the dispatch
of the 10th of December are not at
once withdrawn, and suitable apol-
ogy offered with the same publicity
given 10 the offensive expressions,
he will have no other course open to
him except to terminate diplomatic
relations with the government of
Chill. Mr.. Montt, in his note Of
Jan. Goth, advised that he had been
dire cttd by his government to in
form the government of the United
States, you are not persona grata to
the government Of Chile, and to
request your recall.
