Vi and considering that, up
% date, it has been impossible for the trial
inflated by the Judge of the criminal
.otlfp OF Valparaiso to be decided, the
1ndArsigned regards it as his duty to de-
,laVS once more, that the government of
ShiH laments the occurrence of Oct. 16,
and by way of showing the sincerity of his
Follvwing, and the confidence he has in the
jusf3ce of his cause, he declares his will
laagskess to await the decision of the exam
inipR Judge, and proposes to the United
Stafes government that the case be sub
mitsed to the consideration of the supreme
coust of justice at Washington, to the end
thai that high tribunal, with its learning
may determine, without
apIRal whether there is any ground for
reparation, and in what shape 1t should be

Ninister Pereira next calls attention
70 4he disorganized condition of the
couhtry at the time of the assault and
theN quotes Mr.. Blaines note to the
lta1tan foreign minister in answer to the
demands of Italy, as follows:
here Is no government, however civil
ixesk IL may be, however great may be the
vignance displayed by it's police, and how
ever severe its criminal code may be, and
hoNHser speedy and infexible may be its
adImnistration of justice, that can guar
AnMe Its own citizens against violence
gr0Ning out of individual malice or a sud
deIfpopular tumult."
MS was precisely the situation Of the
adMinistrative authorities at Valparaiso
on ne occasion of the occurrence which
tooM place in October.
me undersigned hopes that the fore
gong will convince the honorable score
lazy OF state that the government of Chilli
ateaches due Importance to the question
now under discussion: that he docs not
IorA moment hesitate to condemn in Wig
orous terms the act committed on Oct 16,
OF tc offer such reparation as is just, and
thAt ne has not neglected the opportunity
20 cypress these sentiments before now,
since ON various occasions, and through
tne present plenipotentiaries of both coun-
tries ne has forwarded explicit declara-
tions on the subject to Washington. The
undersigned takes the liberty to recall the
fact that, five days after he had taken
charge OF the department of foreign rela-
Hons, he addressed to the minister of Chilli
tclegram, which, in the part relating to
this matter, says:

ment what has already been stated,
adding all the data that are known in the
most correct and amicable form Express
to the United States government very sin
cere regret ON account of this unfortunate
incident, which, although not strange in
the ports of the world, this government
donbsy laments, owing to it's sincere de
sire t6 cultivate friendshsp with the
United States. =
Mr.. Pereira then calls attention to the
offer OF arbitration of the question in
case the two governments could not
come to an amicable agreement in the
usual manner. The Chilian minister
then proceeds as follows:
There is therefore submitted to the hon
orable secretary of state of the department
OF foreign relations of Washington, the
designation OF either the supreme court of
justice of the United States, or q tribunal
of arbitration to determine the reparation
which Chill may have to make for that
lamentable occurrence.

of Dec. IL, to the Chilian minister in
Washington by the minister of foreign re.

be on the part of the government of Chill,
the purpose to infiict any offense upon the

there were employed through an error OF
