ises which was maintained during most Of the
period of the stay of the refugees therein.
The Legation Veriiabie Prison.
After the date of my annual message and up
60 the time ol the transfer of the refugees to
the Yorktown, the Legation premises seem to
have been surrounded by police in uniform,
and police agents or detectives in citizens
dress, who extensively scruuni2cd persons en-
tering or leaving the Legation, and on one or
more occasions, arrested members of the Min
stCr's family. II appears further that on one
occasion at least these police agents invaded
the Legation premises, pounding upon its
windows and using insulting and threatening
language towards persons therein
But tuC most serious incident disclosed in the
corrcspCndcuce is that Of the attack upon the
sailors OF the Baltimore.
We have now received from the Chlan Gov
ernmeut an abstract of the conclusions of the
Fiscal General upon the testimony taken by
the Judge of Crimes i'm an investigation which
was made to extend over nearly three months
] very Wuch regret to be compelled to say
that this report does not enable me to modify
the conclusion announced in my annual mes
sage. am still OF the opinion that our sailors
were assaulted, beaten. stabbed and killed, not
for anything they or any one Of them had done
but for what the Government of the United
States had done, or was charged with having
done, by its civil officers Or naval commanders
Commander Evans, who oy NY direction re-
sently visited Mr. Egan at Santiago, in his
telegram TO the Navy Department, described
She Leqation as "a vertab,e prison. and states
that the poiceagcutS, or detectives, were aftCT
his arrivul withdrawn during his stay.

II was not only undiplomatio but grossly in
sulting to our naval officers and TO the EXecu-
tive Department, 6s it directly imputed un-
truth and insincerity to the reports of the
naval officers and to the official communication
made by the Executive Department TO Con-
gress.
1t will be observed that have notified the
Gillian Government that unless this note is at
once withdrawn and an apology as public

matte relations.

The request Tor the recall OF Mr.. Egan upon
the ground that ne was not persona g'dtd' was
unaecompanled 10y any suggestion that could
properly be used IN support OF II, ana lnler
that the request Is paseo upon oihclal acts or
Mr.. Egan which have received the approval OF
fhis Government.
But, however that may be; could not con
sent TO consider such a question until It had
nrst been settled Whethef our correspondence
with Chilli could be conducted upon basis OF
mutual respect.
In submitting these papers 10 congress Tor

the questions involved demand l desire to say

of Chilli by this Government should be adhered
