Show ENGLISH its part in fomenting tho the original trouble in chile iio ill bui i comery Conseria tiTe statement or of whole con 21 nister fean and the he U S laral officials were leutral NOV 12 the associated press baa has received from a special correspondent in ale chile a series of 0 communications covering the eventa events since the overthrow of balma cedas government dealing at length with matters of interest to americans and giving many interesting details of events which heretofore here tolore have been but touched upon in the cable grams speaking of the litt hostile atile attitude toward the united states government and particularly against minister egan be he saya says a majority of the charges are apparently without foundation and arise principally from the act fact that the american officials official a in I 1 a chile did not give moral and physical support to the revolutionists during the war there is hardly a foreign resident at any port along the entire coast of chile who didino did not sympathize ym L to a great extent with t the h e cpa cause of the revolutionists the latter assert that the united states government at washington was not made acquainted fainted with the true elate state of affairs I 1 2 r 1 in chile th the seizure of the steamer itata was the first incident which aroused decided ill feeling and the american naval officers who were in n iquique aquique at the time express the opinion that the revolutionists would never have surrendered the steamer lad had it not been for the presence of a strong united states naval force ibe the next thing was the cutting of the cable line of the central and south american company near aquique iquique the revolutionists refused to allow cable messages to be sent from valparaiso and other points controlled by balmaceda balin batin in a ceda the cable was owned by an american company who applied to 0 the united states representatives for or relief captain schley of the balmore batmore directed the cable to be e rut cut beyond the distance of a marine league from the shore the revolutionist ships cochran and huascar were present but the baltimore was prepared for any re sla li stance tance they might offer the revo made a claim that the americans bad had cut the cable so bal bat marcedas ma cedas spies in the northern part of chile could send information to lima by another cable line which was intact and then have it resent re sent from lima to valparaiso over the american cable which has been cut consequently during the last days of the war the revolutionists bad had come to regard the americans particularly the naval representatives here as allies of balmaceda and were prepared to believe any in y report which might teem seem to subs substantiate t their views the most violent attacks however were made upon amiral brown they assert that be he brought information of their landing at quintero eighteen miles north of valparaiso to balmaceda this story and admiral browns letter in explanation have alread already y been published in this country the correspondent says when the admiral returned to valparaiso that day with his fla flagship hip the san francisco he bent sent a c cipher T I 1 pher dispatch ashore for the navy department at washington the officer who took it had to have it approved by the intendente andl within an hour or two after he had filed it balmaceda Balmac ads eds troops were moving toward quintero Jain tero and the newspapers had out extras in which it was published that the san francisco had just arrived with news of the landing of the revolutionists at quintero tile revolutionary press has been very bitter in its attacks on admiral very brown rown and charges are still being made against him despite bis his denials that his visit to quintero was in the interest of balmaceda much capital is being made out odthe of the fact that some official correspondence between Balma Balmac cedas edae ministers la in august has been found in which it is stated they are trying to get a neutral vessel to get certain information regarding the revolutionists in the present state of feeling the belief is general that the vessel referred to is the san francisco the correspondent says there is is little doubt the foreign residents in valparaiso are a assisting in fan fanning antu I 1 9 the flame against the americans in a lett letter e r dated october ad t the h e correspondent deals at length with the matter of the refugees sheltered in the american legation at santiago and the trouble arising th er efrom he says minister ean egan bad had instructions from washington that tho the united states would continue to give an asylum to refugees until chilean au authorities thor guaranteed their safe rem removal oa 01 to some neutral territory and further farther that the united states would not permit its minister to be harassed because of the presence of these refugees in the legation I 1 captain schley 0 of I 1 the baltimore had also received instructions from the navy department regarding the arrest of 0 persons entering the legation the correspondent says the order was revoked after minister ar egan entered a strong protest but spies were still watching the building there is ground for the belief that 4 a similar plan was resorted to in case of the Arge argentine atine legation where balmaceda was shelter sheltered ad and the ex president knowing escape to be impossible committed suicide rather than subject the minister to further r responsibility a there is no doubt the cb Chi chileans cleans leans intended the order of surveillance veil lance and arrest should impress on the refugees in the american legation the leeling feeling that they were causing egan trouble and that it was their duty to

nearly every ono one known to have been con I 1 0 necked with the late government whom the present resent leaders have announced m their ehr intention to arrest the correspondent thought hw hoever hi wever ever most of the prosecutions would be abandoned abandons d after the election although they will be pushed against all persons of any prominence there has been no apparent effort at reconciliation but on the contrary the attitude of the present government has been from the first each such as to warn all persons who supported balmaceda 11 1 abeda that they were regarded as criminals the newspaper press of santiago and valparaiso heartily support the new now government in this attitude and since the war closed have been busily engaged printine printing columns of accounts of outrageous cri crimes of the Balmac edian edlan administration tra tritt tion ion the correspondent asserts ehg that many of the defeated soldiers of bal balmaceda were slaughtered on the

otter underdale under date of october the correspondent says say among the americans in chile or at t Is least t those who enjoy the respect of the community in which they live there is not to be found one who expresses any ny sympathy with the charges made against egan here and in a section of the american press egans policy pe says has been 0 one n e calculated to advance american interests la lu chile without tiny attempt at secrecy be he endeavored to make arrangements with the chilean government then represented by balmaceda by which inducements would be offered for american capital to become interested in valuable nitrate property in the northern part of the country this enterprise had hitherto been and still is almost ercla exclusively 8 avely by the english was the chief of the improper contracts with Balma Balmac cedas edaa government which ezan egan is accused of making the moot meet be he could have obtained and the most he bad had any intention of obtaining was a share of the nitrate business for americans who might care to enlist in the enterprise but there was hardly an englishman in 11 chile who did not regard these efforts on the part of the american minister as a direct menace to english interests and there has hardly been an englishman in chile since that time who has not contributed his share to the general outcry against egan gan and all americans minister egan an also en endeavored deavo red to agitate the establishment ot of an american line on the west coast of america and was instrumental in having american cable lines extended to valparaiso minister egan also undertook other measures of I 1 a similar nature and in all these to advance the interests of his country he met the same opposition and the same criticism all thia this occurred before the revolution in chile began at that time many american residents declared themselves more or less openly in favoron favor of the revolutionists egan did not do so for t the very ery I 1 good reason that be he was acard accredited ad to the government beaded headed by balmaceda the ever at all times admitted bat but one principle and that was that persons who did not declare
