VALPARAISO, Jan, 10--Via Galveston
1t true that tho Chilean government
notified Captain Evans, OF tho York
town, that it was unable 10 guarantee
the safety OF tho refugees on board his
ship ii he undertook to transfer them
to any departing steamers, and that
neither could tho government prevent
any steamer on which thoy took pass
ago from being searched in any Chilean
port Mt which the vessel might touch
while Oh her way north.
The report OF the promoter fiscal TO
tho judge OF crimes in tho Baltimore
affair has been given tho public and
there has been no time to examine it.
The, promoter fiscal has accepted the
story that the trouble began with the
resentins by tho Americans OF the
splitting in their faces by some Chileans.
For all that my information leads me to
believe that the attack broke out stimuli
tancously i'll different parts OF tho city,
as charged in President Harrison's
message.
This is denied by the Chileans, and
tho promoter closes tho introduction to
his report by asserting that tho fight
owes its origin to two drunken Balti-
more sailors striking Chilean sailor.
Ho then recounts list OF tho injured,
and says it has only been possible to
establish the culpability Of four men.
The final findings were as follows:

Rodriguez to minor punishment in
minimum degree OF from sixty-one to
81 days.

in maximum degree for three years.
John Davidson to prison in medium
degree from ten years to fifteen years.
Jose Ahumada to prison in medium
degree from three years and one day to
five years.

pers selections from lot OF Euro pean
journals to the effect that the United
States has no navy worth noticing, and
that Chile could, with Just no trouble at
all sink all her ships and levy a con-
tribution on San Francisco.
The Chileans when pressed hard are
forced to admit that they would OF
necessity be compelled to submit to
the United States in the end. That
would be tempered, however, and they
would be let down very easy By their
superior diplomacy.
The Chilean fleet has had steam up
for the last three or four DAYS and they
have more or less torpedo practice
every day. The authorities now give
out that the ships are to 90 to the south
ior exercise. The generally accepted
rumor, though, is that they have been
ordered to the straits OF Magellan, with
the intention Of laying in wait for
Admiral Walker and the White SQUAD.

west coast. This may, or may not be
true, but there is no doubt that the
ships are in fighting trim and ready for
action.
