lhW unfortunate occurrence took place on
sudden, lu district where the sailors ui
vessels lying in the Bay of VALPARAISO
in the aabt of assembling, without
notion pt nationality From the nature
u the incident it would be impossible to
prove that there was no doubt AS u the
special cause which served AS its orisin or
prteTt, but the undersigned can assert that
that cause was not a hostile feeling toward
tile uniform Of the Navy Of the United
state. because the people of Chile have
always esteemed and res eclei that uniform
eve since the time when It saw II figuring
honoranly Iu the ranks Of the soldiers and
sailors who, IN a glorious struggle gave
u Independence aud established the Repub-
lie,
The undersigned admits that the occur.
renee OF October rs was of greater gravity
than those which usually occur in the same
district between the sailors which frequent
IL, and the fact Of knowing that two deaths
have resulted from II among the l6 wounded
men OF the Baltimore has suifcei TO give
II al extraordinary character and 10 induce
government of Chile 70 hasten to alopt
