agents in the immediate vicinity of the
American legation, as also the attempted
arrest Saturday night of Frank Egan,
the minister's son. Senor Urriburn in
his diplomatic capacity will call a meet
ing of the foreign ministers for the pur
pose of requesting the attention of the
Chilian government toward the action
of the municipal authorities in main
taining police surveillance of tha Amer- . :
can legation. An additional insult was ,
offered the American minister yesterday
in the ease of one of the refugees who
applied for release upon furnishing
bonds as recently granted Balmaceda's

ernment replied the refugee must first
leave the American legation and sur
render himself to Chilian authorities

tions of the Chinese governmen," he
said, "concerning 'an exhibit at the
world's fair. I understood the govern
ment declined to exhibit, but my in
structions are to make-a searching in
quiry into the conduct and probabilities
of the exposition. I suppose the gov
ernments decision will be influenced by
my report. I want to see what prepara
tions nave been made and above all, to
try and learn just what interest the
American people take in the fair. If
China makes any exhibit I think it will '
be a creditable one,
