Cowardly and Unprovoked. The official report of the occurrence made by Captuin Schley of the Baltimore, after a careful investigation of all the surrounding circumstances, shows clearly not only that the assault upon the American sailors was cowardly and unprovoked, but that it was inspired puroly by hatred for the uniform they wore and the country it represented, or in other words, that it was not an attack on them as individuals but as represeutatives of the Unitea States. Tho report also indi- cates that the local police, instead of protecung the Americans from tue violence of the mob 1 several instances as- sisted the onslaught, This, the report says, is demonstrated by the fact that several sailors wero wounded by bayonets such as are usually carricd by the Chilian police. “The fact that the only persons arrested were the thirty-five American sailors who bad es- ped injury at the hands of the mob strengthens the view that the assault was intended as au insult to the United States, The information at hand shows that so far none of the Chilians concerned in the attack have bocn arrested aud 8o far as known uo stops have been tuken to punish them in any way for their uction. ‘The authorities at Washington ave very in- aignant at the upparent indifference dis- played by the Chilian governmeut and Min- 1ster Egan has been instructed to use prompt and vigorous measures to secure proper reparation. He has been fully advised of the vosition of this government in the matter ana has been instructed to acquaint the Chil- ian government there with the hovo that the matter may bo amicably adjusted with- out detriment to tho homor of cither country. It is ubderstood that the president insists upon wroper redress for the supposed insult to_ our nationul houor and that unless it s given sonable time Miuister Bgan witl and alldiplomatic relations with Chili suspended, Secretary Tracy said that no more vessels dered to Chili, and that b wny would bo'sent, The Yorktown is now on her way there, and the Boston is start.

The Sun Francisco is at Callno, ouly four days’ smil from Valpa- raiso, buf has not been ordered there, Neither has another vessel--tho Thetis—now at San Francisco. ‘The sailing orders of the Boston and Yorktown were issued beforo the attack on tho sailors, and the main_purpose of their =detuil was to relieve the Baltimoro add San co, which vessels are to go toSan 0'us soon_as relieved, to be docked and overhauled. [t would seem, therofore, the government does not care to make any belligerent domonstration toward Chil, but prefers for the present to show 1its displens ure and possibiy resentment turough diplo- matic channels, Special instructions as to his course were cabled to Minister Egan yesterda; The only oficial messago received today bearing on the Chilian trouble was a cable message sent by Minister Egan transmitting Cuptain Schiey’s report i regard o the as- sault on the American sailors, 1t was ex: actly the same as the report made by Captain hley to the sceretary of the navy, which was wade public yesterday. ~Mr. Egan made 1o reference to the refusal of the Chilian government to givo safe conduct to the refu- gees at the United States logation. He haa proviously advised the department to that effect. Weary of Chili's Arrogi New Your, Oct. 24, —President Harrison has erown weary of Chil's dictatorial and arrogant tir .ment of our government, and it Is reported that he has determimed that it must stop, and stop quickly. More than this he has demanded satisfaction for the recent assault upon our sailors at the port of Val puvaiso, and ho will have it or Chili alone will bo responsible for tho consequances. ‘This is the deciaration of a Washington cor- respondent of & morning paper, and who con- tinues thus AL an this afternoon had been or- did not kuow that hee. arly hour in the morning the con tents of Captain Schley's dispatel were laid Vofore President Harrison. The president read it carefully soveral timies, and bis indig nation increased at each reading. No special reference was made to the matter at the eab- inet meeting, but at its conclusion tho presi dent had a special conference with tho repre- cntatives of the three brauches of the gov- erament most imterested. Thoy were Secro- tary Tracy of the Navy department, Mr. John W. Foster of the Stato department, and At toracy General Miller. *“Phie dotails of the conference are guarded with tho closest secrecy, but I am assured upon tho best authority that the president has decided our government should take strong and aggressivo stops, | also learn that President Harrison was tho most out- spoken advovate of tns course, “Iven thoso present who knew him best waera surprised at the eloquence ho exhibited in rociting tho wrongs done to our sailors und the vehemence with which he insisted that those wrongs should be fully and sutis factorily righted. It was in a tone of exceod wg bitterness that President Harrison re ferred to Cinli’s continued hostility to us: a hostility that had culminated at last in the murder of one of our sailors, the wounding of # dozen or more and the arrest and incarcer ation in jail of thirty-five others. “Ho suid the time had come whon wo must teach the Chilian people that our patience in douling with them is exhausted. - We have dealt with them fairly and they have ehosen o act toward us in a spirit of extreme un- friond:iness “Ho lustanced their treatment of Minister Egan. ‘Then have subjected him to an es- pionage and insult because he has given wn asylum to certaiu Chillan refugees, *It was suggestod at this polut, by one of itlemen present, that the 'unfriendli ness of Uhill bad manifested itself in still an. other particular.

Idiosyn of the Young Man— What Foreign racies the French Minister of Affairs Said in an Interview, [Copyright 1891 by James Gordon Bennstt.| Pais, Oct. 24 —[New York Herald Cable -Special to P Be.|—In his palace, from which a view is obtained of the Champs iSiysees, the Seine and all that part of Paris fubabited by Americans, M. Ribot, minister of foreign affairs, was good enough to re- ceive me today. Me spoke freely of French politics, It is not necessary to speak with him to know the difference existing between the French politics of today und those of twenty years, The furniture, the salons and the surroundings tell the tale, An usher with a silver neck chain troduces you first into a large salon, gilded throughout, and with furuituro of rod satin, Onthe gilded tables are 1mmense Sevres vases, On the wall is an immense picture, representing the congress of Paris 1 the time of Napoleon III. It was here that the minister worked formerly. Then & secretary passes you into a second room. It is plainness itself. There are no gilding, no Sevres vases, no arm chairs, You see a hoap of papers, some in German, and maps of Burope. tere arc ample evidences of a busy man. Finally the door opens and the mimster advances toward you with extended hands, He is a Simple Man, M. Ribot isa very tall thin man. He wears a short beard and long hair, with only a few gray hairs, notwithstanding ho 1s past 50 years of age. Heis a simple kind of a man, which is scen by his lack of fine clothes. He wears a_commonplace cravat and in hi: wholo attire there 1s ouly oue piece of jowelry—a gold chain across his waistcoat. He is a big worker, judged by the heaps of papers covering all ‘the chairs, He is also a family man. On a superb desk, in front of which the minister seats himself, in the center of packages of notes and do ments, which eontain the policy of the coun- try and its 36,000,000 of inhabitants, is a photograph of 'Mme. Ribot, an American woman of superior intelloct, who often helps her husbund, acting as his secretary., The minister seats himself in u hig arm chair, which by tradition beiongs to the head of the foreign office. Bebind him are geo- praphical charts, Under his hand are_elec- tric bells. Close to him are speaking tubes, telephones and the whole appa- racus, which give some impression of the mount of news which leaves this room. M. Ribot crosses his legs, whica are very long, and places his hands on the two arms of tho chair, and with the *i2h, bien,” with which the French are in the habit'of com- mencing conversations, awaits for quastions. Abstract French Politics, “You ask me what are tho rola tions betwcen France and Russia,” sald the munister, after he had lis- tened to me. ‘“‘The; are ver cordial vory frank. We speak to St. Vetersburg with open hearts. That was a result not easy to obtuin, Fora long time they defied us, especially at the nibilistattacks. We thought wore than once that negotiations would have vroken off.” hey have, then, existed for a long time Foryears, The public knows nothing and pays no atteation 1o our work. pare the wires in_advanco, never whether they explode monnds of earth mountains of rocks.” “Do you believe 1n peace ! hév all tell us thoy want it. We shall commence wur. [verybody knows that we have roached & politi- cal and_ diplomatic stage in the affaws of IZurope which permits us to desire Deace with dignity, and with houor, without considering the undercurrent of Iuropean affairs. The idea of the czar is to follow out his own purposes.’” “Then he occupies himself with polities?” “1tis he alone who dircets the policy, He is bis own minister of foreign affairs, and al- though mot dealing directly with him, we know full well he is pacific, but at tho same time ho wishes to rescrve to himself full liberty of action.” Just Like William, nd the emperor of (iermany —does ) scek the maintonance of peace He says so. and he causes 1t 1o be said in s0 many ways that I am obliged to beliove it ana even to admit the young sovereign is sin- cerely pacific. But I also believe that on the day when he considers that peace cannot be obtained, he will bo the first to attack. On subject I b told of @ very char. acteristic saying of the emperor, when stay- ing with tho prince regent of Bavaria It was during a visit paid by William 1T to Prince Luitpold, Around the tea table when the members of the royal fumily were assembled, inforwally, they spoke of war, In reply to a remark of the prince that Ger many was in favor of peace the emperor stood up and said: “We Hobenzollerns do not wait to be at- tacked. Wo always attack fivst.’ 'his declaration throw a chill over the party. I attach greater value to this informa- tion because it does not reach me through a diplomatic chaunel. There was in the room @ princess of 'rench origin, who told the story toone of her uncles who related it during the mancuvers. Moreover the Ger: man emperor has crude, extraordinary ideas that at times one must bo sure of them to be- lieve them. For example his majesty's fa- vorite idea is that ke will visit Paris, He does uot seom o foresce what the result could be of such an act. When ho went to The Hague in July last he said to our repre- setative the night of tne torchlight proce sion S4It is very strange that [ cannot nce, which 150 much wish to seo. 'he minister replicd very havpily not prepared for the question which majesty asks me, It is too serious for reply to without instructions.’ ‘M. MeGrand, the Freuch minister, did not know of asimilar dificulty which oc- curred. It was in this room in whicn 1 speak that Count Munster, the German ambassador, come during tha stay of the apress Frederick in Paris totell wio the cmpress would be happy to dine at the Ely see. | answered bim C\Count, the ministry of which [ form a part would rather send in its resignation than gecept the respousibilities and consequences which such an invitation might have.’ “Count Munster did not insist. He hud a respect for my oplnion and acquitted himself well in this wission, which had under- taken against his will, found to Visit France. “Each time Emperor William has found an opportunity he has spoken of his project—a visit 0 Fravce. It is bis dearest wish, Duriug the recent imperial mauwuvres he said to one of the French military attaches #'You will see that 1 shall bave to end by or not he visit I was your me to | going incog to France to see the army ! so much desire to view. “You seo that these are ot the ordinary ways of sovereigns, und It becomes a very difficult matter to deal with.” I think that at this moment the emperor is filled with the most pacitic intentions.” & In saying these words Minister Ribot did bear the face of a diplomat, but he had the looks of an_ honest mRn who says right out what he thinks and who would like 10 soe things going as they ought 1o go. Points to Be Settl “Are you content with the relations with other countries! “\Why, yes. You know that France doos not seek quarrels. We have difficultie with Eogland on more than one point of the globe but we hope to come to an agreement on most of them.,’" “The Egyptian question will be the hard- esu to sottle, will it not ) “We shall settle that afso. You know our relations with ltaly. We have not always received from our neigibors what we cx- pected to find, but_the aconomie situation is not improving with them. That is what they suffer from most. \With other powers we shall have ' to settlo tho big questions of treatios of commerce. Be- youd that L can tell you nothing, but be as- sured when the moment arrives the readers of the New York Herald will be the first to recerve mformation,’ M. Ribot rose and accompanied me door. On the threshold T said .0 him: *“T'hon M. le Ministre, there is not a cloud in the sky ! " “Idid not tell you that the sky was blue. It is gray —there are gray autumn days which are agreeable and more constant in_their agreoablencss than the blue skies of sum- mer." M.
