The Reply of M‘nister of Foreign Affairs Pereira, of Chili, Seems to Be All That Any One Could Desire, and “'hite \Vinged Peace Once More Spreads Her Wings Over the \Vestern Hemisphere. Chili “’ill Leave the Settlement of the Baltimore Assault Case to the Supreme Court of the United States—Secretary Blaine Intimates That Minister Montt Has Misrepresented Him in His Report of Their Conferences—How the Ques- tion of Minister Egan’s Recall Came Up. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.——The president sent to congress the additional correspond- ence in Chili matter. First was Chili’s an- swer to the ultimatum of the 21st, dated J an. 25, and received at the state depart- ment at 9 a. m., Jan. 26. It repeats at length the principal points of the president’s ulti- matum sent through Secretary Blaine that the assault on the Baltimore’s sailors was an attack upon the uniform of the navy of the United States, which had its origin and motive in a feeling of hostility. toward that government and not in any act of the indi- vidual sailors belonging to it; that the pub- lic authorities of Valparaiso evidently did not do their duty in protecting those sailors; that a part of the police and some Chilian soldiers and sailors rendered themselves guilty of unprovoked assaults on the sailors of the United States, and that Riggin was killedby the police or the soldiers. The re- ply then repeats thc president’s demand for reparation and the withdrawal of the Matta note and continues as follows: The Reply of Chili. ' Without any intention of opening a discus- sion as to the facts referred to by the com- munication, which I have extracted, and con- fining himself to the first part of the instruc- tions of the honorable secretary of state, the undersigned must state to your excellency the regret with which the government of Chili sees that his excellency, the president of the United States, finds reason to continue to regard the incident of October as an attack caused by a hostile feeling toward the uniform of the navy of the U nitcd States. That unfortunate occur- rence took place on a sudden. in a district where the sailors of the vessels lying in the bay of Valparaiso are in the habit of assem- bling, without distinction of nationality. From the nature of the. incident it would be impossi- ble to prove that there was no doubt as‘ to the special cause which served as its origin or pre- text, but the undersigned can assert that that cause was not a hostile feeling toward the uni- form of the United States, because the people of Chili have always esteemed and respected that uniform ever since the time when it saw it figuring honorably in the ranks of the soldiers and .sailors who, in a glorious strug- gle, gave it independence and established the republic. Reparation, if It Is Due. The undersigned admits that the occurrence of October 16 was of greater gravity than those which usually occur in the same district be- tween the sailors which frequent it, and the fact of knowing that two deaths have resulted from it among the sixteen wounded men of the Baltimore have sufficed to give it an extraor— dinary character, and to induce the govern- ment of Chili to hasten to adopt the measures necessary to discover and punish the guilty parties, to offer in due time, if there should be ground for so doing, such reparation as might be due. The preliminary examination was commenced on the morning which followed the night of the conflict, some days before you presented your complaint, but the investiga- tion could not be finished with the rapidity that the government of Chili desired, because the rules of procedure in criminal matters which are established by our laws are of slow application, and it was not possible for the president of the republic to modify or set them aside. This delay, which was inevitable, owing to the independence with which the judicial authorities must act, has compelled the gov- ernment of the undersigned to delay, greatly to its regret, the settlement of the difficulty and a spontaneous offer of reparation for any injury done to the sailors of the Baltimore, and that might be attributed to Chiliau scl— diers or sailors, or that might affect the re- sponsibility of Chili. To the Supreme Court. In view of your communication and consid- ering that up to date it has been impossible for the trial initiated by the judge of the criminal court of Valparaiso to be decided, the under- signed regards it as his duty to declare once more that the government of Chili laments the occurrence Of Oct. 16, and by way of show- ing the sincerity of his feeling and the confi- dence which he has in the justice of his cause, he declares his willingness to await the deci- sion of the examining judge, and proposes to the United States government that the case be submitted to the consideration of the supreme court at \Vashington, to the end that that high tribunal, with its learning and impartiality. may determine, without appeal, whether there is any ground for reparation and in what shape it should be made. The undersigned should remind you, refer- ring to the conduct of the Valparaiso authori; tities, that it appears from the preliminary ex- amination that they sent without delay to the scene of the conflict “all the forces at their disposal belonging to the special guard of the intendencia and to the police. Swanson, Cose, Nicholas, Barony, Honies, Cunningham. VVil— liams, Talbot, Hallard, Hodge, Butler, etc., sea- men belonging to the crew of the Baltimore, stated to thcinterpreter of that vessel that the object of the police in arresting them was to shelter them from any attempt at attack by the excited people.” Mr. Blaine Quoted by Chili. The undersigned thinks that the action of the police in this matter should be considered with due allowance for the civil war which had recently been brought to a close. The body was not yet properly organized, nor did it have the force that was required to put down a disorder of such proportions in a short time. In this connection it is proper to recall the words by the honorable secretary Of state at \Vashington in his note addressed to the Marquis Imperiali. and bearing date of May 231, “There is no government, however civil- ized it may be, however great may be the vig- ilance displayed by its police, and however severe its criminal code may be, and however speedy and inflexible may be its administra- tion of justice, that can guarantee its own cit- izens against violence growing out of individ- ual malice or a sudden popular tumult.” This was precisely the situation of the ad- ministrative authorities at Valparaiso on the occasion of the occurrence which took place in October. The undersigned hopes that the fore- going will convince the honorable secretary of state that the government of Chili attaches due importance to the question now under dis- cussion; that the undersigned does not for a moment hesitate to condemn in vigorous terms the act committed on the 16th of October or to offer such reparation as is just, and that he has not neglected the opportunity to express these sentiments before now, since on various, occasions and through the plenipotentiaries of L'Z'Advertise in the GAZETTE}: WEEKLYaNORWALK both countries, he has forwarded explicit declarations of the subject to Washington. The undersigned takes the liberty to recall the fact that five days after he had taken charge of the department of foreign relations he addressed to the minister Of Chili in the United States a telegram, which in the part relative to this matter says, “Express to the United States in the most correct and amicable form our very sinccrc regret on account of this unfortunate incident, which, although not strange in the ports of the world, this govern- ment doubly laments, owing to its sincere de- sire to cultivate friendship with the United States.” . Ready for Arbitj'ution. If the United States govt. ment should not the outgoing GKplamtion as satisfac- t\\’itl;_h'anding that the judicial author- d the guilty parties responsible for the di of Oct. 15, the undersigned must recall the - rcumstance that the government of Chili, through the medium of its minister at V’Vash- ington, has expressed the desire to submit any misunderstanding (dispute) to decision by ar- bitration by any power or tribunal which may be indicated to it. and in fact arbitration was suggested in conference with the minister of Chili in Washington on the 30th of December, when the government of the undersigned (le- clared its good will and its resolve to accept arbitration after the final judgment, which would not be further delayed many days. In furtherance of its purpose to giveaspeedy solu- tion to the incident in the most friendly terms the government of the undersigned called upon the minister for a definite reply on the 11th inst., and on the 13th Minister Montt reported that he had agreed with Mr. Blaine that if any difference Of views should supervene after the verdict of the judge of Valparaiso, such con- troversy would yield to arbitration. The un- dersigned hastened to declare that he would fully accept such an agreement. Concerning the Matta Note. . There is therefore submitted to the Hon. Mr. Blaine the designation of eithgar the supreme court of justice of the United L .ates or a tribu- nal of arbitration to determine the repara- tion which Chili may have to make for the la- mentable occurrence. As for the dispatch addressed under date 01 the 11th of December to the Chilian minister in W'ashingtou by Minister Matta of the pro- visional government, the undersigned submits that there could not be on the part of Chili the purpose to inflict any offense upon the government of the United States with which it desires ever to cultivate the most friendly relations. Consequently the undersigned deplores that in that telegram there were employed, through an error of judgment, the expressions which are offensive in the judgment of your govern- ment. Declaring in fulfillment ofa high duty. courtesy and sincerity toward a friendly na- tion that the government of Chili absolutely withdraws the said expressions, the under- signed trusts that this frank and explicit declaration, which confirms that which had already been made to the honorable secretary of state in \Vashington, will carry to the mind of his excellenc y, Mr. Harrison, and his govern- ment that the people of Chili, far from enter- taining a feeling of hostility, have the lively desire to maintain unaltcrable the good and cordial relations which, up to the present time, exist between the two countries, a declaration which is made without reservation. in order that it may receive such publicity as your gov- ernment may deem suitable. \Vith regard to the suggestion made touch— ing the change of the personnel of your lega- tion, to which the instructions of the honorable secretary of state refer, it is incumbent upon the undersigned to declare that the govern» ment of Chili will take no positive step with out the accord of the government of the Uniteo States, with which it desires to maintain itself in friendly understanding. The undersigned brings. this already long communication to a close, in‘ the assurance that he has therein set forth everything that can fully satisfy your government. The gov- ernment of Chili cherishes the conviction that the relations with the government of the United States should be sincerely and cordially maintained under the shelter of that mutual respect and that good understanding which are based upon the just and equitable appreciation of the facts and on the appreciation to be given to the spontaneous declarations made on" either side. The undersigned moreover declares that in presenting its explanation his government finds its inspiration in the words of the instruc‘ tions which you have quoted, and which as- sure the government of Chili that the presi- dent is not disposed to exact or ask anything which your government would not under the same circumstances spontaneously concede \Vith sentiments of distinguished considera. tion, I am your obedient servant, LUIS PEREIRA. In transmitting the above Minister Egan added, “I await instructions.” Montt to Blaine. On Jan. 23, 1892, Minister Montt wrote to Mr. Blaine saying that the government 01 Chili had no data authorizing it to think that the quarrel was due to any dislike of the uniform of the United States or that the police failed to perform their duty. The affair, he believed, was simply a brawl among drunken seamen, and could not con- stitute an insult to the nation in whose service the men were who had taken part ~ in the disorder. Minister Montt adds that the government of Chili could not, however, form a final opinion concerning the nature of the occur. rences in question, or as to whether the pop. lice had or had not improperly participated therein, or had failed to perform its duty until the termination of the judicial investi- gation, which had been initiated without delay, and which was pushed forward as speedily as was compatible with the provi- sions of the law. He says: You were pleased, with your high sense 01 rectitudc, to remark to me that this proceed- ing of the government of Chili was correct and that, although you desired that the ju‘ dicial investigation might be brought to a close with as little delay as possible. you under. stood that it was necessary that the legal pro- ceedings, which were not as rapid in Chili as in the United States, should be had. Agreed to Arbitrate. I have taken occasion at sundry times to in- form you of what the Chilian authorities were doing to bring the investigation to a close. .* * * In the course of our conferences we sometimes considered the case in which the government of the United States and that of Chili should fail to agree when the investiga: tions should be terminated and the two gov- ernments should have formed their final opin- ion, and we agreed that arbitration was the best means of settling the difficulty, and ad- vancing further in this conciliatory spirit we even formally agreed that the differences that might arise should be submitted to arbitration This agreement to accept arbitration has been the basis of several of our conferences, especially that of the 18th inst., and no ante- cedent or fact interfering therewith has come to my knowledge. 0n the contrary, I took oc- casion to inform you, on the lst of January that my government authorized me to con- clude an agreement looking to arbitration, and my government subsequently approved the agreement concluded by me with you, Of which I also informed you. As the criminal trial in- itiated at Valparaiso has not yet come to an end, my government hag not yet been able to reply to the demands made by that of the United States. * * if - The testimony which the government of the United States has caused to be taken in Cali- fornia from. the crew of the Baltimore cannot take the place of the trial which is being held at Valparaiso, where the offenses were com- mitted.

I further reminded you that it was a doc- trine established by the American govern- ment that documents exchanged between the president and congresf, or 3 tween the depart- ment of state and the diplomatic representa- tive of the United States in foreign countries, could not form a subject of discussion for for- eign overnmeuts. M ister Montt supports his statement by quoting VVebster’s reply to Austria in 1850. He also adds that it was far from being the purpose of his government to act in a mat- ter at all offensive to the president of the United States or to any member of his cabinet, and that Mr. Matta’s note, if rightly interpreted, admitth of no such construc- tion. He adds: I afterward had the honor to inform you that I had received instructions from my gov- ernment to inform that of the United States that considering the views expressed by Messrs. Buchanan and W'ebster, in 1849 and 1850, the messages sent by the president to congress are domestic communications which cannot serve as a basis for the interpretation of foreign powers or their representatives, my government had no objection to striking out of the note of Dec. 11 such words 5 might be considered, disagreeable to the United States government. Scoring Captain Bob Evans. On the 16th inst. an official telegram was published which had been addressed by the commander of the Yorktown to the secretary of the navy. It was couched in terms that were offensive to the government of Chili, and in view of what we had said concerning the note of Dec. 11 I deemed it my duty to call your attention to that telegram. The lofty spirit of 1‘nstice which characterizes you did not permit you to hesitate to tell me that the wording of the said telegram was improper and objectionable. This declaration on your part, which was as impartial as it was just, terminated the incident. The Recall of Egan. Since in the early parteof the month of Octo- ber it. has been repeated to me on various cc- casions by the United States government that if the representative of the United States gov- ernment at Santiago was not a pm )na grata to the government of Chili, it was 'sufficient for the government of Chili so to state and that the said representative would be succeed- ed by another. It is a rule, based upon the na- ture of diplomatic relations and designed to make them frank and cordial, that the repre- sentative of a nation must be a persona grata to the government to which he is accredited. In the conference with which you were pleased to favor me on the 20th inst. I had the honor to state that the representative of the United States at Santiago was not a persona grata to the government of Chili, which would be very glad to receive another representative from the United States. You were pleased to acknowledge that the government of Chili had a right to ask that a change should be made. Afterward, having your notice, I addressed to you in writing the same communication which I had made to you verbally. I have deemed it my duty to state in this note the foregoing facts, which show the friendly and cordial purpose of our conferences in which you took a. most important part. \Vith sentiments, etc., PEDRO MONTT. Blaine’s Reply to IIIontt. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. SIR—I have the honor to acknowledge your favor dated the 23d inst., but not received by me until Monday, the 25th. I beg to comment on two or three of its recitals. I think from zeal for your country you have made some mistakes, which I shall proceed to correct. You are right in saying that I considered the proceedings of the government of Chili mak- ing the judicial investigation of the unhappy affair at Valparaiso entirely praiseworthy. But you will remember that as early as the 25th of November I complained of the length of the judicial proceedings, and from time to time renewed the complaint, saying to you very lately that the court had already been eighty days in succession ccnsideringa mat- ter which in the United States would have been wholly disposed of in two or three weeks. You replied that the Spanish law was slow in its process but just in its conclusions; and with your statement I had to be content, though im- patient for a final judgment. Your offer of arbitration was never unconditional and exact. Had it been I would have insisted on your re- ducing it to writing, for it would have been my duty to lay it before the president for con- sideration. But I was unable to report a mere verbal exchange of views between us as an agreement to arbitrate. , Arbitration with a String to It. You did say to me several times. that in that distant future, when the Chilian court should render its judgment (if the United States should not be satisfied with it), the two countries could arbitrate the. matter. But even then you always maintained that Chili would not volun- tarily propose arbitration herself, but would do so when requested by some friendly power to take that course. On one occasion you mentioned Spain as a nation likely to intervene with Chili most ef- fectively. Your mention to arbitrate was al- ways as a method to be adopted in the future if we were not content, as I have said, with the judgment of the court. You remarked that to adopt it before would be discrediting to the judgment of the court in advance. You always looked to the future for the proposal and ac- ceptance of arbitration. You say in your note, ”I took occasion to in- form you on the lst of January that my govern- ment authorized me to conclude an agreement looking to arbitration, and my government subsequently approved the agreement con- cluded by me." And yet you do not pretend that a word was ever written of the agreement which you say we made between us. It is im- possible that I rather sought to bind the gov- ernment ofthe United States in that way. It would have been in the highest degree impru- dent for me to do so. Justifying the Matta Note. In regard to the Matta note, which was the subject of contention between us, you sum it up by the following declaration: “I added, however, that it was far from being the pur- pose of the government to act in a. manner at all offensive to the president of the United States or to any member of the cabinet, and that Mr. Matta’s .note, if rightly interpreted. admitted of no such construction. I afterward had the honor to inform you that I had re- ceived instruction from my government to in- form that of the United States that * * * messages sent by the president to congress are domestic communications which cannot serve as a basis for the interpretation of foreign powers, my government had no objection to striking out of the note of Dec. 11 such words as might be considered disagreeable.” By your own statement you evidently at- tempted to justify the Matta note. I certainly could not accept your language, and never did accept language of that kind as an apology sufficient for the case. The Matta note was highly disbourteous to the president and the secretary of the navy, imputing to them un- truth and insinccrity. Such language does not admit of conditional or contingent apology which you offered. It could be apologized for only by a frank withdrawal. You always con- tended that it was a communication between officers of your own government, and that it was not proper for this government to take any cognizance of it. You quoted the well known declaration in the Hulscmann case in regard to the message of a president to congress not being subject to criticism in a- foreign country. You did not see the great difference involved by your gov- ernment sending the Matta circular to all the . legations of Chili and requesting its several ministers to publish it, so that Chili was not only responsible for the discourteous language, but for its publication throughout the civilized world. That you did not comply with Chili’s request to publish it here was the strongest proof of your disapproval Of it. Cmupiained About Egan. In regard to Mr. Egan you complained many times and very bitterly to me. Especially was he deservingr of censure. you thought, for not J ob:Print1ng neatly 6! one at this office. communicating to his government the brutal murder of some young men who were slain by order of Balmaceda. \Vhen on the next day I showed you the dispatch of Mr. Egan, Speak- ing of the incident in severe and proper terms, you acknowledged that you were mistaken. I thought you would be satisfied, but you again spoke disparagingly of Mr. Egan, and I said somewhat impatiently, “Why do you not de- mand his recall instead of constantly disparag- ing him?” intending thereby not to favor his recall but to put a stop to the frequent mention of Mr. Egan‘s name. In referring to the question you remark, “You were pleased to acknowledge that the government of Chili had a right to ask that a change should be made.” Undoubtedly she has that right, provided she assigns a rea- son. You are too well skilled in diplomatic usage to be reminded that when a nation is pleased to declare that a minister is persona non grata she is expected to assign a reason there- for. We have twice had occasion to ask Great Britain to recall her minister, and in each case we gave a reason why the minister had ceased to be useful. It is hardly necessary to observe that conditions which we complied with our- selves would likewise be exacted of Chili. I have thus frankly endeavored to correct some misapprehensions of yours in order that the record of the state department of the United States shall be kept exact and in all its proceedings shall be proved consistent. Accept, sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. JAMES G. BLAINE.
