HARRISON'S MESSAGE.
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
