The officers and sailors of the Balti- more were in the harbor of Valparaiso under the orders of their Government, not by their own choice. They were upon the shore by the implied invitation of the Government of Chile and with the approval of their commanding ofticer, and it does not distinguish their case from that of a consul that his stay is mcre per- manent or that he holds the express invitation of the local government to justify his longer residence. Nor does it affect the question that the injury was the act of a mob. If there had been no participation by the police or military in this cruel work and no neglect on their part toextend protection, the case would still be one, in my opinion, when its extent and char- acter are considered, involving international righty THE INCIDENTS OF THE AFFAIR. The incidents of the affair aro, briefly, as follows: On the 16th of October last Capt. Schley, commanding the U &. §. Baltimore, gave shore leave to onv hundred and seventeen petty offi- cors and sailors of his suip. These men left the ship about 1:30 p.m. No incident of violence oceurred; none of our men were arrested; no complaint was lodged against them; nor did any collision or outbreak occur until about 6 o'clock p.m Capt. Schley states that he was himself on shore and about the streets of the city until 5:30 p.m.; that he met very many of his men who were upon leave; that they were sober and were conducting themselves with propriety, saluting Chilean nd other officers as they met them. Other officers of the ship and Capt. Jenkins of the merchant ship Kewe naw, corroborate Capt. Schley as to the general sobriety and good behavior ol our men. The Sisters of Charity = at the hospital to which our wounded men were taken, when inquired of, stated that they were sober when received. If the situation Lad been otherwise, we must believe that the Chilean police authorities would have made ar- rests. About 6 p.m. the assault began, and it is remarkable that tho investization ‘by the judge of crimes, though so protracted, docs het onable him to give uny more sutisfactory account of ity origin thun is found in the state ment that it began between drunken sailors. Repeatedly in the correspondence it ix asserted that it was impossibie to iearn the precise ewuse of the riot. ‘Ine minister of forcign affairs, Matta, in his telegram to Mr. Montt, under date December 31, states that the quarrel be- gan between two sailors ina tavern and was continued in the street, persons who were pass- ing joining in it. ‘The testimony of Talbot, an apprentice who was with Riggim, is that the outbreak in which they were involved began by # Chilean sailor spitting im the face pf Talbot, which was re- sented by a knock down. It appears that Rig- gin and Talbot were at the time unaccom- panied by auy others of their shipmates. ‘These two men were immediately beset by a crowd of Chilean citizens and sailors, through which they broke their way to a street car and en- tered it for safety. They were pursued, driven from the car, and Kiggin was so seriously beaten that he fell im the street apparently dead. There is nothing in the report of the Chilean investigation made to us that seriously impeacues this testimony. It appears from Chilean sources that almost instantly, with a suddeuncss that strongly implies medita- tion and preparation, a mob, stated by the police authorities at one time to number 2,000 and at another 1,000, was engaged in the as- sault upon our sailors, who are represented as resisting “with stoues, clubs and bright arms.” ‘The report of the intendente of October 30 states that the fight began at 6 p.m. in three streets which are named, that information was received at the intendencia at 6:15, and that the police arrived on the scene at 6:10, a full halt hour after the assault began. At that time he Says that a mob of 2,000 men had collected, and that for several squares there was the appear- ance of a “real baitletield.” ‘The scene at this pomt is very graphically set before us by the Chilean testimony. The Amer- ican suilors, who, after so long an examination, have not been found guilty of any breach of the peace, so far as the Chilean authorities are able to discover, unarmed and defenseless, are fleeing for their lives, pursued by overwhelming numbers, and fighting ouly to aid their own escape from death or to succor some mate whose life is in greater peril. Eighteen of them are brutally stabbed and beaten, while one Chilean seems, from the report, to have suffered some injury; but bow serious or with what character of weapon, or whether by a missile thrown by our men’ or by some of his fellow rovers, is unascertained. AN INCREDIBLE PRETENSE, The pretense that our men were fighting with “stones, clubs and bright arms” is, in view of these facts, incredible. It is further refuted by the fact that our prisoners, wien searched, were absolutely without arms, only geven penknives being found in the pos: of the men arrested, while there were reecived by our men more than thirty stab wounds, every one of which was inflicted in the buck. and almost every contused wound was in the back or back of the head. The evidence of the ship's officer of tue day is that even the jack- | knives of the men were taken from them be- fore leaving the ship. As to the brutal nature of the treatment re- ceived by our men, the following extract froin the recount given of tue affair by the La Pat- ria newspaper, of Valparaiso, of October 17, can not be regarded as too friendly: “The Yankees, us soon as their pursuers gave chase, went by way of the Caile del Arsenal | toward tho city car station, In the presence of wry nutuber of citizens, among whom were some sailors, the North Americans took seats in the strect car to eseape from the stones which the Chileaus threw at them. It was be- lieved for an instant that the North Americans had saved themselves from popular fury, but such wax not the case. Searcely had the car begun to move, when a crowd gathered around and stopped its progress. Under these cireum- stances and without amy cessation of the howl- ing and throwing of stones at the North Amer: cuns, the conductor entered the car and, seeing the risk of the situation to the vehicle, ordered them to get out. At the instant the sailors left the cur, in tke midst of a hail of stones, the said conductor roccived a stone blow ou’ the head. One of the Yankee sailors managed to escape in the direction of the Piaza Wheel- righi, but the other was felled to the ground byw stone. Managing to raise himself from the ground where he lay he staggered in au op- posite direction from the station. In iront of the house of Senor Mazzini he was again Founded, falling then senseless and bresti- jews.” THE BRUTAL WORK. No amount of evasion or subterfuge is able to cloud our clear visign of this brutal work. Itshould be noticed in this connection that the American sailors arrested, after an ex- mination, were, during the four days follow- ing the arrest, every one discharged, ho charge ofany breach of the peace or other criminal conduct having been sustained against a single one of them. ‘The judge of crimes, Foster, in a note to the Inteniiente, under date of Octo- ber 22—ietore the dispatch from this govern- meut of the following day, which aroused the authorities of Chile to a’ better sense of the gravity of the aftnir—says: “Having presided temporarily over this court in regard to tho jseamen of the U. 8. cruiser Baltimore, jwho havo been tried on account ot the deplorable conduct which took place,” ete. ‘Tho noticeable point here as thut our sailors hind been tried before the 2d of October and that the tal resulted iy their acquittal and return to their vessel. it is quito rensarkable and quite ebaracteristic of the management of thisatfuir by the Clilean police authorities that we should now be advised that Seaman Davidson of the Baltimore has been included in the indictmeni, his offeuso being, sojfar as Lhave been abie to ascertain, that he attempted to defend a shipmate against an ax sailant who was striking at him with a knife. ‘the perfect vindication of our men isfurnished. by this report; one only is found to heve been guilty of criminal fault and that for an act clearly justitiable. As tothe part taken by the police in the affair the cave mado by Nig no Rees) satisfactory. The point wl was killed is only three minutes’ walk from the dice station and not more it twice that | jon of regret, much less pology, D.C. MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1892—TEN PAGES. McCrea, who acted as interpreter, says in his evidence that when our sailors were exemined before the court the subject of the conduct of the police was so carefully avoided that he re- ported the fac to Capt. Schley on his return to 4 ‘The evidences of the existence of animosity towards our sailors in the minds of the sailors of the Chilean navy and of the populace of Valparaiso are so abundant and various as to leave no doubt in the mind of anyone who will examine the papers submitted. It manifested itself in threatening and insulting gestures to- wards our men as they the Chilean men-of-war in their boats and in the derisive and abusive epithets with which they greeted every appearance of an American enilor on the evening of the riot. Capt. Schley reports that boats from the Chilean war ships several times went out of their course to cross the bows of their boats, compelling them to back water. He complained of the discourtesy and it was corrected. That this feeling was shared by men of higher rank is shown by an it cident related by Surgeon Stitt of the Baltimore. After the battle of Placilla he, with other medical officers of the war vessels in the harbor, was giving voluntary assistance to the wounded in the hospitals. ‘The son of a Chi- lean army officer of high rawk was under his care, and, when the father discovered it, he flew into a passion and said he would rather have bis son die than have Amerscans touch him, and at once had him removed from tho ward. ‘This feeling ia not well concealed in the dispatches of the foreiga office and had quite open expression in the disrespectful treatment of the American legation. ‘The Chilean boat men in the bay refueed, even for large offers of money, to return our sailors, who crowded the Mole, to their ship when they were endeavor- ing to escape from tke city ou the night of the assault, Tie market boats of the Laltimore were threatened, and even quite recently the gig of Commander Evans, of the Yorktown, Was stoned while waiting forhim at the Mole. THE ATTACK ANTICIPATED BY CHILEANS. ‘The evidence of our sailors clearly shows that the attack was expected by the Chileza people, that threats had been made against our men, and that, in one case somewhat early in the aft- ernoon, the keeper of one house, into which some of our men had gone, closed his establish- ment in anticipation of ‘the attack which he advised them would be made upon them as darkness came on. In a report of Capt. Schloy to the Navy De- partment he says: “In the only interview that I bad with Judge Foster, who is investigating the case relative to the disturbance, before he was aware of the entire gravity of the matter, he informed me that the assault upon my men was the outcome of hatred for our people among the lower classes, because they thought we had sym- pathized with the Balmaceda Government on Account of the Itata matter, whether with rea- son or without he could, of’ course, not admit; but such he thought was the explanation of the assault at thet time.” Several ot our men sought security from the mob Ly such complete or_ partial changes in their dress as wouid conceal the fact of their being seamen of the Baltimore and found it then possible to walk the streets without mo- lestation. These incidents conclusively estab- lish that the attack was upon the uniform—the nxtionality—and not upon the meu, ‘Ihe ovigin of this feeling is probably found in the refusal of thix Government to give recog- nition to the Congressional party betore it bad established itself, in the seizure of the Itata for an ulleged violation of the neutrality law, in the cable incident and in the charge that Admiral Lrown conveyed information to Valparaiso of the landing at Quinteros, It is ‘uot my purpose to enter hero any defense of ‘the action of this Government in these matters. It is enough for the present pur- pose to say that if there was any breach of in- ternational comity or duty on our part it ahould bave been made the subject of official complaint through diplomatic channels or of reprisals for which a fuil responsibility was assumed. We caunot consent that these incidents and these perversions of the truth shall be used to excite & murderous attack upon our unoffending sail- orsand the government of Chile go acquit of responsibility. In fact, the conduct ot this government during the war in Chile pursued those lines of international duty which we had so strongly insisted upon on the part of other nations when this country was in tho throes of acivil conflict. We continued the established diplomatic relations with the government in power until it was overthrown and promptly and cordially recognized the new government when it was established. The good offices of this government were offered to bring about « peeceful adjustment aud the interposition of r. Egan to mitigate severities and to shelter adherents of the congressional party were ef- fective and frequent. The charge against Ad- miral Lrown is too base to gain credence with any one who knows his high personal and pro- fessional character. SEVERAL DISTINCT ASSAULTS. Recurring to the evidence of our sailors, I think it is shown that there were several dis- tinct assaults and so nearly simultaneous as to show that they did not spread from one point, Apress summary of the report of the Fiscal shows that the evidence of the Chilean officials and others was in conflictus to the place of origin, several places being named by different wit: nesses 4% the locality where the first outbreak occarred, This, it correctly reported, shows that there were several distinct outbreake, and rly at the same time as to cause this contusion, ‘The La Patria, in the same issue from which I have already ‘quoted, aiter describing the killing of Riggin and and the fight which from that point extended to the Moie, says: ‘At the same time in other streets of the port the Yankee suilors fought fiercely with the people of the town, who believed to see in them Incarnate enemies of the Chilean navy, ¢ testimony of Capt. Jenkins of the Amer- ican merchant thip Keweenaw, which had gone to Valparaiso for repairs, and who was a witness of some part of the assault upon the crew of the Baltimore, is strongly corroborative of the testimony of our own sailors when he says that he saw Chilean sentries drive back a seaman, sevking shelter, upon a mob that was pursuing him. ‘The officers and men of Capt. Jenkins’ ship furnish the most conclusive testimony ag to the indignities which were practiced towards Americans in Valparaiso. When American NI ®, even of merchant can only secure their tafety by denying their nationalty, it must be tine to readjust our retations with a government that permitssuch demonsiration As to the participation of the police, the © dence of our sailors shows that our men were +truck and beaten by police officers before and efter arrest, and that one, at Icast, was dragged with » lasso about his neck by a mounted policeman, ‘That the death tf Riggin was the result of a rifle shot tired by a policeman or soldier on duty is shown dircetly by the testi- mony of Johnson, in whose arms he was at the time, and by the e ee of Charles Langen, an American sailor not thena member of the Baltimore's crew, who stood close by and saw the transaction. Ihe Chilean authorities do not pretend to fix the responsibility of this shot upon any particular person, but avow their inability to ascertain who tired it, further than it was jired fromacrowd. The cheracter of the wound, as described by one of the surgeons of the Lultimore, clearly ew orts his opinion that it was’ made by a ri all, the oritice of exit being as much as an inch or an inch anda quarter m width, When shot tie poor fellow was unconscious and in the erms of a comrade, who was endeavoring to carry him toa neighboring drug store for treatment. The story of the police that in coming up the street they passed these men aud left them behind them, is inconsistent with their own statement as to the direction of their approach and with their duty to protect them, and is clearly disproved. In fact Rig- gin was not behind, but in front of the advane- ang force, and was not standing in theerowd, but ‘was unconscious and supported in the arma of Jobnson when he was shot, NO MANLY REGRET EXPRESSED. ‘The communications of the Chiloan Govorn- ment in relation to this crucl and disastrous attack upon our men, as will appear from the correspondence, have not in any degree taken the form of ‘a manly and satisfactory express- the event if the inju- uifered by our men had been wholly the was of so serious a character rie result of an accident in a Chilean port, the incident was grave enough to have called for some public expression of aympathy and regret trom the local authorities, It is not enough to say that theaffair was lamentable, for humanity would require xpi even if the Beating and killing of our men bad boon justi- itis not enor a friendly power an offense so atrocious as this, In the case of the assault bys mob in New Orleans upon the Spanish consulate in 1851, Mr. Webster wrote . Calderon,’ been moro creditable to the Chilean suthori- ties; and mach less can hardly be satisfactory : government that values its dignity and onor. In our note of October 23 last, which appears in the ondence, after receiving the re- Bort of the board of officers appointed by Capt. ley to investigate the affair, the Chilean Government wus advised of the aspect which it then assumed and called upon for any facts in its posscssion that might tend to modify the unfavorable impressions which our report had created. It is very clear from the correspond- ence that, before the receipt of this note, the examination was regarded by the police author- ities as practigally closed. It was, however, re- opened and’ protracted through period of nearly three mont! We ‘might justly have complained of this unreasonable delay, but in view of the fact that the Govern- ment of Chile was still provisional, aud with a disposition to be forbearing and hopefal of a friendly termination, I have awaited the report which has but recently been made. CONCLUSIONS OF THIS GOVERNMENT. On the 2ist instant I caused to be communi- catedsto the Government of Chile, by the Amer- ican minister at Santiago, the conclusions of this Government after a full consideration of all the evidence and of every suggestion affect- ing this matter, and to these conclusions I ad- here. They were siated as follows: rst. That the assault ix not relieved of the aspect which the early information of the event gaveto it, viz: That of an_attick upon the un:form of the United States Navy, having its origin and motive in a fecling of hostility to | this Government, and not inany act of the sailors or of any of them. “Second. That the public authorities of Val- paraiso flagrantly failed in their duty to pro- tect our men. and that some of the police and of the Chilean soldiers aud sailors were them- selves guilty of unprovoked assaults upon our ssilurs before and after arrest. He {the Pr dent) thinks the preponderance of the deuce and the inke-out probabilities lead to the conclusion that Kiggin was killed by the police or soldiers. “Third. That he [the President] is therefore compelled to bring the case buck to the posi tion taken by this governmentin the note of Mi Wharton of October 28 last * * * * ¢ © and to ask for a suitable apology and for some adequate reparation for the injury done to this government.” In the same note the attention of the Chilean Government was called to the offensive char- acter of @ note addressed by Mr. Matta, its minister of foreign affaire, to Mr. Mo: minister at this Capital, on the 11th This dispatch was not oficially communicate to this Government; but, as Mr. Montt was di- rected to translate it and to give it to the press of this country, it secmed to me that it could not pass without official notice. It was not only undipiomatic, but grossly insulting to our naval officers and to the Executive Department, as it directly imputed untruth and insincerity to the reports of the naval officers and to the oflicial communications made by the Executive Department te Congress. It will be observed that I have notified the Chilean Government that, unless this note is at once withdrawn and an apology as public as the offcnse made, 1 will terminate diplomatic relations. ‘The request for the recall of Mr. Egan upon the ground that he was not persona grata was unaccompanied by any suggestion that could properly be used in support of it, and I infer that the request is based upon official acts of Mr. Egan which have received the approval of this Government. But, however that may be I could not consent to consider such a question untilit had frst been settled whether our correspondence with Chile could be conducted upon a basis of mytual respect. " THE DEMANDS SHOULD BE ENFORCED. In submitting these papers to Congress for that grave snd patriotic consideration which the questions involved demand, I desire to say thut Iam of the opinion that the demands made of Chile by this Government should be adhered to and enforced. If the dignity as well as the prestige and influence of the United States are not to be wholly sacrificed we must protect those who, in foreign ports,display the flag or wear the colors’ of — this Government against insult, brutality, and death, intlicted in resentment of the acts of their Government, and not for any fault of their own. It bas been my desire in every way to cultivate friendly and intimate relations with ail the Governments of this hemisphere. We do not covet their territory; we desire their peace and prosperity. We look for no advan- tage in our relations with them except the in- creased exchanges of commerce upon a basis of mutual benefit. We regret every civil contest that disturbs their peace and paralyzes their development and are always ready to give our good offices for the restoration of peace. It must, however, be understood that this Gov- ernment, while exercising the utmost lorbear- ce toward weaker powers, will extend its strong and adequate protection to its citizens, to its officers and to its humblest sailor when made the victims of wantonness and cruelty in resentment, not of their personal misconduct, but of the official acts of their Government. Upon information received that Patrick Shields, an Irishman and probably a British subject. but at the time a fireman of the Aier- ican steamer Keweenaw, in the harbor of Val- paraiso tor repairs, had been subjected to per- sonal injuries in’ that city—largely by the police—I directed the Attorney General to cause the evidence of the officers and crew of that vessel to be taken upon its arrival in San Fran- cisco; and that testimony is ulso herewith transmitted. ‘The brutality and even savagery of the treatment of this poor man by the Chilean police would be incredible if the evi- dence of Shields was not supported by other direct testimony and by the distressing condi- tion of the maa himscif when he was fiually able to reach his vessel ‘ihe captain of the Vessel says: “He came back a wreck; black from his neck to his hips from beating; weak and stupid, and is still ina kind of lyzed condition,’ and has never been able to do duty since.” A claim for reparation has been msde in be- half of this man, for, while he was uot s citi- zen of the United States, the doctrine long heid by us, as expressed’ in the consular regulations, is: “Ihe principles which are maintained by this ~—_goveru- ment in regard to the _ protection, us distinguished irom the relief, of seamen ure well settled. It is held that the’ circumstance that the vessel is American is evidence that the seamen on board are such, and in every regu- larly documented merchant vessel the crew will find their protection in the flag that covers them. > I have as yet received no reply to our note of the 2lst instant, but in my opinion I ought not todelay longer to bring these matters to the attention of Congress for such uction as may be deemed appropriate.

The following is the telegram referred to in tho President's message which was sent by Mr. Blaine to Minister Egan on the 21st instant: “I am directed by the Prosident to say to you that he has given careful attention to all that has been submitted by the govern- ment of Chile touching the aflair of the assault upon the crew of the U. 8 8. Baltimore in the city of Valparaiso on the cvening of the 16th of October last, and to the evidence of the officers and crow of that veseel, and of some others who witnessed the affray, and that his conclusions upon the whole cane are ay follows: First. That the assault is not relieved of the aspect which the early information of the event guve to it, viz: That of an attack upon the uni- form of the United States Navy, having its ori- gin and motive in a fecling of hostility to this Government, and not ip any act of the sailors or of any of them. Second. That the public authorities of Val- paraiso flagrantly failed in their duty to pro- tect our men, and that some of the police and of the’ Chilean soldiers and sailors were themscives guilty of unprovoked as- saults upon our sailors before and after arrest.

With regard to his being persona non grata Mr. Egan eaid that ata diplomatic banquet at the home of the minister of foreign affairs on the 12th instaut Prime Minister Luco told him, with approbation of some of his colleagues and in the presence of the Engiish minister and Spanish minister, that the present cabinet en- tertained most cordial feclings for the United States and for him personally. de In the afternoon of January 21 Senor Montt ivered to Mr. Blaine the following note: not agreeable to it.” ernment, which wil to draw closer its relations with those of the United gtates is its motive for taking the step.” ‘The last communication is trom ‘senor Moatt to Secretary Binine of the 23d instant inclosing the testimony of Sailor John M.

In other words, President Baimaceda is outcome of the affa: master of the situation.” Admiral Brown wrote at great length August 1S recounting the events in connection with the capture of Valparaiso by the insurgents. He raid: “Having Leen informed by the gov- ernment authorities in this city that a landing had been effected, and having learned from ex- perience to distrust the correctness of all such information given me as official, I got under way. steamed up the coast entered Quin- teros bay, saw for myself that a landing had been made from eigtit transports and six men- of-war, and without communicating with auy of tho ships I returned to this place and cabled the result of my observations to the depart- ment.’ ADMIRAL BROWN'S INSTRUCTIONS. Rear Admiral Brown was detailed to succeed McCann by order of March 26 and relieved him July 14. Among the instructions given him by the department was the following: “In reference to the granting of asylum, your ships will not, of course, be made a refage for crim- inals. In the case of persons other than crim- inals, they will afford ehelter wherever it may be needed, to Americans first of all, and to others, including political refugees, as far as the claims of humanity may require and the service upon which you are engaged will per- mit.” A considerable portion of the correspondence is devoted to the itata case and contains noth- ing new.
