The Correspondence.
Minister Montt in his letter to Secretary
Blaine, dated Jan. 23d, reviews the Incl
dents Of the assault upon the Bslumore's
sailors and the neghods Of JUDICIAL pro-
cedure in Chih. He states Iha, as the
criminal trial iniusted at Valparaiso has
not yet come 10 an end, his Roverf msnt has
not yet bee able TO reply to the demands
made by ths. Of the United States.
Continuing he says, You were pleased
to state IN your Instructions to Mr.. Egsn
hat the undersigned hiss not communicated
10 the United States government the note
that was addressed to him by nr. Malta on
The ilth Of Dece mber last. The first time
the honorable secretary Of state saw ft TO
csll my attention to the aforesaid note Of
MIR. Malta, l told him that note contained
instructions addressed to me by Mr. Malta,
az that 81 had not been directed to com
intricate it efiicisly to the department Of
State there WAS no reason why the honorable
secretary should take cognizlucs Of it.
Il further remind you that it was doc
ttine established by the American govern
ment that q doctrine exchanged betseen
the President aJd Congress or between the
department Of State ard the diplomatic
repTess n.stive of ,he United States in the
foreign countries could not form & subj &c!
Of discussion, for foreign governments. 1t
WAS therefore on the nature Of the note
and on no other reason thst | bssed my
sbstention from communicating to you
the Instructions with Mr.. Mats which had
been seDt To me on the lth of December,
and had the honor SO TO inform you.
II added, however. il was lar from be-
ing the purpose Of rny government to act in
q naner At all offensive to the Pr sideRt Of
the Uni'ed States er to any member Of his
cabinet and that MIR. Msits's note, if righ
iy interpreted, admitted of no iuch con
.tructi1n. On the the l8lh met, an official
telegram WAS published, which had been
addressed by the Gem nsndsr Of the York
town to The Sc Ssctetsry Of tie Navy.
"It w.s couched in terms that were often
sive TO the government of Chill, and in view
Of what be ssid concerning the noe Of
Dee IL. dc emed ii my duty to call ycur
attention to that telegram. The lofty spirit
Of Justice which cbsrscIeI zes you did not
permit you TO hesitste to tell ne that the
wording of that telegram vas improper and
Objectionable. This declaration on vour
part, which was So impArtlsi ss it was Just,
tel m oated the incident.
"Since the esriy part of the month OF
Octl ber whf n | had the honor to invited to
an uuofficisl conference with the rspresen-
tatives Of the department Of state, as the
credentials which accredited me as minis
ter Of Chill, had not yet arrived, it has
been repeated to me on various occasions
by the Uaited States government that IL the
representative Of the United States at Sat
tisgo WAS not persona grdta to the govern
meut OF Chill IT wss suffi 3ient for the gov
ernment cf Chill so to state ard that the
representative would be succeeded by
another.
at is rule based upon the nature Of
the diplomatic relations. snd designed to
make them frank ard cordial, that the rep
resentative Of nation must be 3 persona
qrata TO the government to which he Is
scc., died. L. the conferete With which
you were pleased to favor me On the 29ih
inst., had the honor TO state that the rep
resentstive of the United States At Santiago
was not a persona grata to the government
Of Chill, ~hich would be- very glad to re
ceivs smother representative to the United
Statap.
You were pleased to acknowledge that
the government of Chill, had right to
ask that a change should be made. After
~sTds, having your notice, | addressed to
you in writing the same communication
v which had made TO you verbally.
Al have deemed 1t my duty to state in
this note the foregoing facts which show
the friendly purpose Of our conferences, in
which you took mott important part.
