F" A Synopsis of tiie Docment Sent to Con ? gxess In the President EGAN'S CONDUCT IS SUSTAINED He was Entirely Justified in Sheltering . Those Who Applied. THE LEGAL A8PKCT OF THI CASE. The President Insists That the De mands Hade on the Chilian Govern- . ment be Promptly Set led. The following is a synopsis of Presi dent Harrison's message and the ac companying correspondence in the Chil ian matter which was presented to con gress today: Washington, Jan. 25. "In my opin ion the time has now come when I should lay before congress and the country the correspondence between this government and the government of Chili from' the time of the "breaking out of the revolution against Balmaceda, together with all other facts in poseesion of the executive department relating to this matter. The diplomatic corres pondence is herewith transmitted, to gether with some . correspondence be tween naval officers for a time in com mand in Chilian waters and the secre tary of the navy and also the evidence taken at:-Mare Island navy-yard since the arrival of the' Baltimore at San Francisco. - I do not deem it necessary, in this communication, to attempt any- full analysis of the correspondence or evidence,, A brief restatement of the ibternKUonai4aeaonaJnx9lve4.'aid the reasons" why the responses-of the Chilian government are "unsatisfactory is all I deem necessary. It may be well at the outset to say that whatever may have been said in this country or Chili in criticism of Egan, our minister at Santi ago, the true history of this exciting period in Chilian affairs from the out break of the revolution until this time discloses no act on the part of Egan un worthy" of his position or that could justly occasion a serious animadversion or criticism. He has, I think, on the whole, borne himself in very trying cir cumstancea'with dignity, discretion and courage, and has conducted the corres pondence with ability; courtesy and fair ness. '"' The president asserts the right. of Mr. Egan to give shelter in the legation to those adherents of Balmaceda who ap plied to him. The disorder that pre vailed in Santiago the pillage'and viol fence disclosed by the evidence of Capt ain Schley show that there was need of an asylum. A requesf tqr a sale , con duct for these refugees, was however denied. Commander Evans has des cribed the legation as a veritable prison. On one accasion at least' the police in vaded the premises pounding on the windows and using insnlting threaten ing language to persona therein. - "tsut tne most serions incident dis-" closed by the correspondence Is that of the attack of the sailors of the Baltimore in the port of Valparaiso on October 16. In my annual message, speaking upon information then in my possession, I said as far as I had been able ' to learn no other explanation of this bloody work nad Deen suggested tnan tnat it nad its origin in hostility to these men as sail ors of the United States, wearing' the uniform of their government, and not in Any individual act or personal animosity. We have now received irom the Ubihan government the abstract of the conclu sions ot toe nscal general upon the testi mony taken by the judge of crimes in an investigation made to extend over nearly three montns. L very much regret to be compelled to say that this report does not enable me to modifv the conclusion announced in my annual message. I am still of the opinion our "sailors were assaulted, beaten and stabbed and killed, not for anything they or any one of them had done,.but for what the eov- erhment of the United States had done, or was charged with having done, .by its civil officers and naval commanders. If that be true the aspect of the cause of injury waa to the government of the United States, not these poor sailors, who were assaulted in a mauner so bru tal and cowardly.' -".-'." '. Speaking of the legal aspect of 'the case, the president save : "The officers and sailors of the Balti more were in the harbor of Valparaiso under the orders of their government, and not by their own choice. They were upon shore by the implied invita tion of the government of Chili, with the approval of their commanding officers and this does not distinguish their case from that of the consul or that his stay is more permanent or that he uuiuB an express invitation oi tne local government to justify his longer resi dence. Nor does it affect the question that the injury waa the act of the mob. If there had been no participation of the police or military in this cruel wort and no neglect on their part to extend pro tection this case would still be one, in -my opinion; when its extent and char-, acter were considere-i, involving inter national rights." The president then tells the story of the attack on the sailors of the Baltimore as related in the testimony of Captain Schley and others at the investigation, showing the sailors were sober and be having themselves, as is evidenced further by tha fact the Chilian police made no arrests,- and says it is remark able the protracted investigation of the judge of crimes did not enable him to assign any more satisfactory account of its origin than between drunken sailors. He then quotes the testimony of Ap prentice Taibott that tke trouble origi nated in a Uiniian sailor's spitting in Talbott's face, for which Taibott knocked him down. Then followed a general attack on Taibott and Kiggin, with the result already known. - Uontmning be graphically describes the scene in which .according to Chilians pursue detenseiess and unarmed Ameri can sailors, who, if they Retaliated, did so only to save their own lives or succor a mate whose life was in greater danger. ine following is the concluding por tion of the president's message on the Chilian question : After summarizing the correspond ence up to a certain point, he says: - the communications ot the Unman government, in relation to this cruel at tack upon our men, as will appear from the correspondence, ' have not in any degree taken the form of a manly and satisfactory expression of regret, much less apology, lne event was of so sen OU8 a character that if the injuries suf fered by the men be wholly the result of accident in a unman port, the incident is grave enough to have called for some public expression of system and regret irom the local authorities, it is not for enough to say the incident is regretted, coupled with a statement that the affair is not of unusual character in ports where foreign sailors are accustomed to meet. It is not for a generous and sin cere government to seek, for words of small or equivocal meaning in which to convey a friendly power an apology for an offense so atrocious as this. In the case of the assault by a mob in New Or leans upon the bpanish consulate, in 1851, Webster wrote to the Spanish minister, Calderon, that the acts com plained of were a "disgraceful and ' fla grant breach of duty and propriety,' and that his government "regrets them as deeply as Minister Calderon, or his go vera ment could possibly do; that these acts have caused the president great pain, and he thinks the proper ac knowledgement due to her majestyv" 1 ne invitea-me-Dpa-Msn -consul to return to his post guaranteeing protection arid offered a salute to the Spanish flag if the consul should come in a Spanish vessel. Such treatment by the government of Chili of this assault would have -been, more creditable to the Chilian authori ties, and nothing less could be satisfac tory to a government that values its dig nity and honor. . In our note of Octolier 23 last, which appears in the correspondence, after re ceiving the report of the board of officers -appointed by Captain Schley to investi gate the affair the Chilian government was advised of the aspect which it then assumed and was called upon for any facts in its. possession that might tend to modify the unfavorable impressions which our report had created. It is very clear from, the correspondence that be fore the reieipt of this note, the exami nation was regarded by the police au thorities as practically closed. It was, however, reopened and protracted through a period of nearly three months. We might justly complain of this un reasonable delay, but in view of the fact i the government of Chili was still pro visional, and with a disposition to be forbearing and hopeful of friendly term ination, lhave awaited the report, which has but recently been made. The 21st 1 i list. I caused to be communicated to the government of Chili bv the Ameri can minister to Santiago the conclusions , ot this government, alter a full consider- ation of all the evidence, and every sug gestion affecting -this matter, .and to these conclusions I adhere. They are as follows: First That the assault is not relieved jf the aspect which early information of ; the event gave to it, viz : That the at tack upon the uniform of the United states navv and its origin and motive in. a feeling of hostility to this government and not in any act of the sailors or any of them. Second -That the public authorities of Valparaiso flagrantly failed in their duty to protect' our men, and that some of the police and ot (Jhilian soldiers and sail ors were themselves guilty of unprovoked assaults upon our sailors before and af ter the arrest. He (.the president) thinks the preponderance of the evidence and the inherent probabilities .tend to the conclusion that Riggin was killed by the police or soldiers. Third That he (the president) is therefore compelled to bring the case back to the position taken by this gov ernment, and stand by the note of Mr. Wharton, of October 23 last, and to ' ask for a suitable apology and for some ade quate reparation for the injury done to this government. . Cleveland 'Will Accept. Washington, Jan. 25. Henry C. Payne, a member of the republican na tional committee is now in the city,' hav ing just arrived from New York. He says that he was informed by a close friend of Cleveland, that ' the ex-president had determined to make the race for president, and from this time on his friends ' will make a determined fight, contesting with Hill for the delegations in New York state, and if possible di vide the state delegation with the sena torial boss. Cleveland was very much averse to becoming a candidate, but was forced into the fight by his friends and those who are opposed to Hill. CHILI BACKING DOWN. The Latest Reports are to the Effect that Chili wm Settle. WILL BACK THE PRESIDENT. Senator Dolph in Sympathy with the ' Message. A FEW - BIL.I.S AKE REPORTED, Fire Hundred Thousand Dollars for Ship Railway Furchaoed a New Crulner. Santiago, Jan. 25. The Chilian gov-' ernment has sent a reply to the ultima tum of the United States. The reply is in effect as follows: Chili agrees to withdraw the offensive note . sent by Senor Matta to the Chilian ministers abroad and acknowledged that its issu ance was due to an error of judgment. Chili also withdraws its request for the withdrawal of United States Minister Egan. In addition the Chilian govern ment, in its answer, proposes that the . affair of the attack on the .Baltimore sailors in Valparaiso be submitted to the arbitration of some neutral power. If this proposition is not acceptable to the United States government, the Chilian government suggests that the matter be submitted to the decision of the supreme court of the United States. Will Hack the President. Washington-, Jan. 25. If the sen timent of the people of Washington is the sentiment of the country, there is no doubt that there will be war with Chili - 4:ljnjeB3 that country apologize. There may be some democrats who will oppose war and seek a compromise, but the sentiment in congress in both houses' is so strong that the president will be backed tip in his position with every 'tuing ' at the ' command of congress. Senator Dolph, who is a member of the committee on foreign relations, faid to day that it was a etrone and patriotic message, and one which would commend itself to the country. While he did not care to say very much about it," because he would be called upon to make a re port upon the same subject, he was yet convinced that the people would back up the message. A Few ISllls Reported. Washington, Jan. 25. Senator Dolpli today reported a bill from the public land committee for the relief of John W. Lewis, who was registra- of The Dalles office for several months, while the re ceiver was dead, and as there were not two officers, the department refused to allow the registrar his salary. The bill will probably go through, although three . democrats of the public lands committee voted against it. . Senator Squire todav introduced his bill appropriating $500,000 for the ship canal to connect Lakes Union and Wash ington with Puget Sound. : He has under consideration the manner in which other appropriations of this kind have been made for great public improve ments, and started this one with $500, 000 instead of $250,000, the amount which it is estimated it will cost to com plete it. The chief of engineers tele graphed Captain Symons to ascertain what amount could be profitably ex pended upon this improvement," and the amount suggested by the captain was the amount that Senator Squire put in his bill. '' Purchased a New Cruiser. . Washington, Jan. 2o. Authentic ; in formation has just' been received from England that the Chilian government has purchased the cruiser now building at Armstrong's works, and that Arm strong is forcing work on the cruiser. This vessel is described as a high-speed,, 3000-ton cruiser, very 'similar to ; the cruiser Twenty-fifth of May, 'recently constructed by the same firm for ; the -Argentine Republic. It has also become known that within the past .few weeks that amunition to the value of more . than $1,500,000 has been shipped to Chili. It is evident, that Chili's credit, or money, has not been exhausted by the recent insurrection. - ' Serious Trouble Imminent. Ksw York, Jan. 25. Captain Dorr, of . the steamer Prince William 11, which arrived this morning from Hayti, states that he learned from a private source la Port au Prince that there is danger of serious trouble, and that it is liable to happen any moment. . , it
