showed bow there arc always n low persons
who lay claim nbillty to cure all Iho Ills to

show that the some kind of charlatinlsin ob
tains in political matters nnd such men ns
Paul Vnudervoort and his running mate

input's Claims , and Oflk'lnlly
Scales Whnt IB Desired An

SivmooDcCiuu , Oct. 20.--Tho Cnltcd
States government today , through Minister
Kgan , formally demanded reparation from
the government of Chill for the ntlack re-
cenlly made In Valparaiso upon n number of
the seamen of the United States ship Balti
more. The demand maae by the United
Slates minister is no Informal suggestion
Ihnt iho government nt Washington expects
some kind of satisfaction for the killing and
wounding of the Baltimore's sailors. It is a
friendly-put notification , civen according lo
directions received from Iho SUto dopartr
nient nt Washington , that the United States
demands un immediate cxpUnatlon of iho
whole affair and reparation for tbe injuries
inflicted.
Acting upon the Inslrucllons sent lo him
from Washington , Mr. Kcan presenled Iho
Chilian junta with a detailed statement of
the results of the investigation made by Cap
tain Scbloy of the Baltimore , and by Mr.
Egan himself. These Investigations had
shown that Charles HiChon , otic of the Balti
more's petty officers , na brutully assaulted
oy several Chilians while ho was ridlutr on a
slrect car. Higgan rcsls'od , but TVUS dragged
from the car and murdered by a pistol ahot
while 111 the arms of his companions.
.Turnbull , another of the Baltimore's
wounded men , who died today from his In
juries , received no less than eighteen stnb
wounds in the back , iwo of them penetrating
his luncs.
After giving a full list of the Baltimore's
crow , who wore Injured by the mob , Mr.
Kgan's statement called ntlenllon lo Ihe fuel
lhat thirty-five of the cruiser's crew were
on Iho day of Ihe nols nrrested. unnecessary
violence being used by the police , nnd that
Ihoy wore detained in custody wilhout due
cause.
In conclusion Mr. Egati said that the sur
geons of the United Slates warship ex
pressed Ihe opinion that some of the wounds
Inflicted upon the American sailors were
bayonet wounds , nnd that this clearly
showed that the police officers of Valparaiso ,
who nraurined with bayonets , took part in
the attack.
The Americans were without arras and
practically defenceless.
Mr. Egan iti presenting the Chilian Junta
with this slulement of the assault on the
American sailors , expressed in the distinct
term" ! the feeling of great indignation which
the State department at Washington focls at
tbo whole affair , and especially at the brutal
conduct of the police of Valparaiso in joining
with the mob in the laltcr's attack upon the
Baltimore's seamen and in drawing their
bayonets and using them against the uu-
nrmed Americans.
Mr. Egan also particularly called altenlion
to the additional brutality of tbo police of
Vuloaraiso in Using horses to drag the Amer
icans to prison.
After making a brief but pointed summary
of the fuels to u lilch ho bad boon instructed
to call all ntion , Minister Egan Informed the
representatives of the Junta that in the bamu <
Of the United States ho demanded reparation
for the Instills undiiijunes complained of.-
Now the Question which arises is what will
be the action of the Chilian government ? As
It appears now , there seems to be doubt that
the Junta will soon make the reparation de-
mnuaed.
Naturally the action taken today by Min
ister Egan is attracting Iho attention of iho
foreign ministers and of the foreigners gen
erally who are residents of this country. The
sympathy of the American colony is entirely
with Captain Schlcy and bis blue Jackets ,
and they are one and all glad to receive the
news made public today lhat another United
States war vessel , the Boston , has aclually
sailed forlheso waters.
Chilians Iry lo srooolh over Iho assault
upon and imprisonment of tbe American sail
ors by classing it as simply u street row. Up
to Iho present time Iho junta has expressed
no regret for the attack made on the Amer
ican sailors.

asking them lo explam ihcir policy toward
Egypt , and the position they bad laken on Ihe
cjuobtlon at issue wllh Morocco , In Ibo matter

Delafosso else demanded lhat the ministry
make explanations In regard lo Ihe
reiallons. between Franco and Italy. Ho
found fault with the government for partici
pating in the recent Unvibaldl fcles at Nice ,
and also for not affording protection to the
French pilgrims lo Homo and for Iho annoy-

M. Hibol Iho minister of foreign

France. Regarding the troubles which
accompanied the French religious pilgrim ,
ages to Homo , ho suid that the agitation
provoked in It.Uy by these pilgrim Incidents
was altogether out of proportion to any
offense that the pilgrims had committed
during their presence In Italy. The Inci
dents having an internal bearing ,
the mitiUter said , the government
felt bound lo issue u circu
lar to the bishops of tno country to
slop Ihese pilgrimages , and iho pope himself
had declared tlmt iho "overnment \ > ns Jus ti

ho continued , ihal bishops owed ibis defer

government hud not LIdden from it any uf
its displeasures lhat the anti-pilgrim mani
festo bad been followed by atlacks against
France , and ihul whereupon Italy bua ex

menu were greeted by apnlausc , particularly
by Iho members of the left.
