The Populace Knew 1t Would Be Made
Their Excuse.
The evidence of our sailors clearlv shows
that the attack was expected by the Gillian
people; that threats had been made against
our men. and that in one case, somewhat
early in the afternoon, the keeper of n
house, into which some of our men had
gone, closed the establishment in anticipa-
ton of an attack, which he advised them
would be made upon them as darkness
came n. E. 4.
In the. report of Capt. schley to the navy

vestieated the case relative to the. disturb
ance, before he was aware of the entire
gravity of the matter. informed me that the
assault upon my men was the outcome of
hatred for our people among the lower
classes, because they thought we sympa-
thized with the Balmacsdan government on
account OF the Itata matter. Whether
with reason or without he could
of course not admit. but suoh he thought
was the explanation of the assault. At
that time several of o1r men sought security
from the mob by such complete or partial
changes in their dress as would conceal the
fact of their being seamen of the Balti-
more and found it then possible to walk the
streets without molestation."
These incidents conolusively establish
that the attack was upon the uniform and
nationality of the men. The origin of this
feeling will probably be found in the re-
fusal of this government to give recognition
to the congressional party before 1t had es-
tablished itself; in the seizure of the Itata
for alleged violation of neutrality; in the
cable incident. and in the charge that Ad-
miral Brown conveyed information to VAL
paraiso of the landing at Quinteros.

sponsibility. In fact, the conduct of this
government during the war in Chilli pur-
sued those lines of international duty which
we had so strongly insisted upon on the

in the throes of civil conflict. We CON

CORRESPONDENCE WITH onIL1.

No Evidence of Regret Manifested, Much
Less Apology.
The communications Of the Gillian gov
eminent in relation to this cruel and dis
astrous attack upon our men. as will app
pear from the correspondence, has not in
any degree taken tho form of q manly and
satisfactory expression of regret, much less
an apology. The event was of SO serious a
character that if injuries suffered by the
mon had been wholly the result OF an acel-
dent in Y Gillian port, the incident would
have been grave enough to have called for
some public expression of sympathy and
regret from local authorities. 1t is not
enough to say the incident is regretted,
coupled with a statement that the affair
was not OF unusual character in ports whore
foreign sailors are accustomed to
meet. 1t is not for a generous n
sincere government to seek for
words of smallor equivocal meaning in
which to convey to q friendly power an
apology for an offsnse SO atrocious as this.

ment due to her majesty He invited the
Spanish consul to return to his post, guar
anteeing protection. and offered to salute
the Spanish flag if the consul should come
in a Spanish vessel. Such treatment by
the government of Chill of this assault
would nav been more creditable to the
authorities, and much less can
hardly be satisfactory to a government
that values its dignity and honor.
In our note or Oct. % last. which appears
in the correspondence, after receiving the
report of the board of officers appointed by
Capt. Schley to investigate the affair, the
Gillian government was advised of the as
pect which it then assumed and called upon
for any facts in its possession that might
tend to modifyth unfayorable impressions
which our report had created. 1t is very
clear from the correspondence that, before
the receipt of this note, the examination
was regarded by the police authorities as
practically closed. 1t was, however, re-
opened and protracted through the period
of nearly three months. We might pave
justly complained of this unreasonable de-.
lay. but in view of the fact that the gov
eminent of Chilli was still provisional, and
with a disposition to be forbsaring, and
hopeful Of a friendly termination, l have
awaited the report, which has but recently
been made.

THE PRESIDENTS CONCLUSIONS.
His Ultimatum Sent to the Chilian Gov
ernment Jan. FL.

His Ultimatum Sent to the Chilian Gov
Jan. Fl.
On the 21st inst, I caused to be commu-
nicated to the government of Chilli, by the
American minister at Santiago the conclu-
sions of this government, after full consid-
Grafton of all the evidence and every sug-
gestion affecting this matter, and to these
conclusions I adhere.
They were stated as follows:
First, That the assault is not relieved of
the aspect which early information of the
event gave to it, viz: that if the attack
we're upon the uniform of the United States
navy. having it's origin and motive in a
feeling of hostility to this government, and
not in any act of the sailors or any o.
them.
Second, That the public authorities of
Valparaiso %hagrantly failed in their duty to
protect our men, and that some of the DO
lice and of the CHILEAN soldiers and sailors
were themselves guilty of unprovoked as
saults upon our sailors before and after ar
rest, he (the president) thinks the prepon-
derance of the evidence and inherent prob
abilities lead to the conclusion that Riggin
waa killed by police or soldiers;
"Third. That he (the president) is there
fore compelled to bring the case back to the
position taken by this government in the
note OF Mr.. Wharton Of October %. last.

In submitting these papers to Congress

should be adhered 20 and enforced. If the
dignity as we'll as the prestige and influence
OF the United States are not to be wholly

Az to the part taken by the police in the
affair, the oase made by Chilli il also far
from satisfactory. The point where Rig
gin was killed ia only three minutes' walk
from the police station, and not more than
twice that distance from the intendsncia,
and yet. according to their official report,
full half an hour passed after the assault
before tho police were upon the ground.
III has been stated that all but two Of our
men have said The police did their duty.
The evidence taken at Mare Island shows
thai if such statements were procured from
oar mon it was accomplished by requiring
Thorn to sign y writing in = language they
did nos understand. and by the reprsssn-
tation that it was n mare declaration that
they had taken no part IN the disturbances.

will examine the papers submitted, as 1t
manifested itself in threatening and in
sulting gestures toward our men as they
passed the Gillian man-of-war III their
boats, and in derislve and abusive cpl
thets with which they greeted every ap-
p%earance of American sailors. TIN the eysn-
ing OF the riot Capt. schley reports that
boats from CHILEAN war-ships several
times went ont of their course to
cross the bows of his boat, compelling them
to back water. He complained of the dis
courtesy and it was corrected. That
this feeling was shared by men Of higher
rank is shown by the incident related by
Surgeon Stitt, Of the Baltimore. After the
battle Of Placilla he, with other medical
officers OF the wal vessels in the harbor.
went ashore for the purpose of giving volun-
tary assistance to the wounded IN the hos
pital. A son of q Gillian army officer of
high rank was under his care and when the
father discovered it he few into a passion.
sald he would rather have his son die than
have the American touch him, and at once
had him removed from the ward.
This feeling wal not we'll concealed in the
dispatches of the foreign Office and had

treatment of the American legation. Chill

The Story Told In \ Divorce Court by a
Millionaire's Wife.
SIOUX Falls, S. D., Jan. 5.-Amid a
copious flow of tears Mrs. Edward Pollock,
the pretty Irish servant girl who married
the New York millionaire. told the story Of
her troubles in court yesterday. She de-
tailed her work as a servant in the Pollock
family, of her secret marriage in 1887 to
young Edward Pollock and Of the birth of
the first child. which is acknowledged by
the Pollooks. The witness possesses a re-
markable Irish brogue.
Oar troubles began said she, Tin 1889.
When Eddie's father learned Of our mar
riage we were living in apartments down in
New York City, and Eddie came to our
rooms at least three nights a week, but
when our marriage became known he de-
serted me, and although on several occa-
sions he came back for a night or two. he
was frequently quarrelsome and told me to
20 to hades, but T told him I did not have
to. nt&&
'''.Ihe last time he slept in my room was
in November. 1889. The second child was
born on Jan. Ia. / sent several letters to
him after November, telling hing to send
me some money as / WAS in sora distress:
called at the office of his father New Years
Eve, 1890. It was dreadfully cold, and T
had only a shawl over my shoulders. My
little daughter was with me. While wait
ing to be admitted we nearly sroze.
FINALLY the servant issued US into the
warm room of his father. / told him that
| must have money to keep body and soul
together, but instead he ordered my arrest.
l was taken to the jail and spent the night
there. Fourteen days after my youngest
child was born.
Several times they have offered me
money if 1 would consent to a divorce, but
they were always counting upon the sur
them I would rather die than give herssup.
One time Eddis said he would give me $l0y-
600 if / would consent to give the child 20
his father, and to make no fight in a suit
for a divorce; but l said: No; I must have
my little girl.'" @
