MlnUter Moutt'a Note to Secre tary Blaiue. and the Secretary 'h Reaponse Chill will Plainly do all the Apologizing Required. Washington, Jan. 28. The following is the President'! message transmitting additional Chilian correspondence to congress: To the senate and house of representa tives I transmit herewith additional correspondence between this government and the government of Chili, consisting ol the note of Mr. Montt, Chilian minis ter at this capital to Mr. Bluine, dated January 23d; the reply of Mr. Blaine thereto of date January 27; and the dis patch from Mr. Eg;jn,t our minister at Santiago transmitting the response of Mr. I'erreria, Chilian minister ol loreign affairs to the note of Mr. Blaine of Jan uary 21st, which was received by me on the 26th inst. The note of Mr. Montt to Mr. Blaine, though dated January 23, was not de livered at the state department until alter 12 o'clock m. of the 25th, and was not translated and its receipt notiGed to me until late in the afternoon of that day. The response of Mr. Perreria to our note of the 21st withdraws, with accept able expressions ol regret, the offensive note ol Mr. Matta of the 11th ultimo, and also the request for the recall of Mr. Eagau. The treatment of the incident of the as sault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that 1 am of the opinion that there is good pros pect thut the differences growing out ol mat serious aftuir can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to tins govern ment by the usual methods and without special powers Irom congress. This turn of affairs is gratifying to me as I am sure it will be to cougnss and our people. The general suouort of the efforts of the executive to enforce the just rights of the nation in this matter has given an instructive and useful illus tration of the unity and patriotism ol our people. Should it be necessary 1 win again communicate witn congress upon the subject. Beoj. Harrison. Mont to Blaine. Lkgation of Chii.i, Washington, Jan. 23, 1892. Sir: I have had the honor to receive your note.of yesterday as the enclosure to which you were pleased to transmit to me instructions sent Mr. Hgau on the day previous. In the numerous talks with which you have been pleased to favor me I have informed you that, im mediately after the occurrence of the events of October 16, 18'Jl, at Valparaiso which my government nost sincerely de plored, the judicial authorities inititi- ated the investigation necessary to throw lignt upon the lacts, and to detect and punish the guilty parties. From the evidence which the government of Chili was able to collect at the very outset it appeared that the disorder of October 16th began by a quarrel among- drunken sailors, which assumed considerable proportions, owing to the condition of the locality in which it originated, and that the police performed their duty by re-establishing tranquility and placing the persons who seemed to have been concerned in the disorder at the dis posal ol the court. 1 he government ol Chili has no data authorizing it to think that the quarrel was clue to any dislike ol t lie unitorm ol the United States, or that the police tailed to perform their duty. On the contrary it is a well demonstrated tact that sudors get intoxicated when they go ashore after having been on board of their vessel lor a long time. 1 his is also quite naturul. The intoxication of seamen and the disorders to which it gives rise, although they may assume serious proportions and occasion very lamentable otteuses, as wus unfortu natelf the enseat Valparaiso on the 16th of October, canuot constitute an insult to a natiou in whose service the men are who have taken part in the disorder. although tbey certainly do not justify the offense committed during the disor der. The government of Chili could not, however, lorm a hnal opinion concerning the nature of the occurrences in question or as to whether the public had or had not improperly participated therein, or had failed to perform its duty, until the termination ol the judicial investigation, which had been initiated without delay, and which was pushed forward as speedily as was compatible with the pro visions of the law, with the obligation of c ollecting all the elements of proot that it wus possible to collect in order to throw full light upon the matter, and with necessity of promptly punishing the perpetrators of theotlenses which had been in part guttered by per1 sons in the service of a friendly nation, It was the desire and duty of the govern- ment of Chili to discover the truth in order to muke its future proceedings conform thereto, and in order that the United States government might be sat istied that nothing was neglected in or der to do lull justice. You were pleased with your high sense of rectitude, to remark to me tint this procteding of the government of Chili was correct, and that, although you de sired that the judicial investigation might be brought to a close with as lit tie delay as possible, yeu understood that it was necessary that the ordinary legal proceedings (which were not as rapid in Chili as in tnc united Mates) should be held. I have taken occasion at sundry times to infirm you of what the Chilian authorities were doing to bring the investigation to a close. In a criminal trial held at Valparaiso not only have landsmen been heard but also seamen of the Baltimore; both have l)een confronted with each other, the re- oorts of the physicians and experts have been called tor, the opinion ol the surgeon of the cruiser bas likewise been invoked, and in a word, nothing has been neglec ted that could tend to bring the whole truth to light. The seamen ol the Haiti more made their statements with the as sistance of an interpreter designated by themselves, who was an officer of the cruiser, so that the oath taken bv wit nesses, their conlrontation with each other, reports of experts concerning the cause and nature of the wounds, and the hearing granted to both Chilians and Americans, so that all might present their complaints and charges, and be heard in their own justification give in contestable authority to the trial held at Valparaiso. In the course our conferences, we some times considered the case in which the government of the United States and that ot Chili should tail to agree when the investigation should be terminated and the two governments should have formed their opinion and we agreed that arbitration was the best means of set tling the difficulty, and advancing further in this conciliatory spirit, we even form ally agreed that the differences that might arise should be submitted to arbi tration. This agreement to accept arbitration has been the basis of several of our con ferences, especially that ot the 13th inst, and no antecedent fact interfering there with, has come to my knowledge. On the contrary, I took occasion to inform you, on the first of January, that my government authorized me to conclude an agreement, looking to arbitration and my government subsequently ap proved tne agreement concluded hv me with you, of which 1 also informed' you. As the criminal trial initiated at Val paraiso has not yet come to an end, my government bas not yet been able to re ply to the demands made by that ol the United States. The various documents and antece dents to which I have called your atten tion in my Ibregoing communications were designed to inform the United States government of the progress of the judicial investigation, and ot the facts therebo elicited. They do not, however, constitute a reply, which can only be given when the facts are definitely brought to light by the sentence which must be pronounced by the courts. The testimony which the government of the United States has caused to be taken in California from the crew of the Baltimore cannot Ik taken as the evi. dence of the trial which is being held at Valparaiso where offenses were com mitted. This testimony may lie useful for disciplinary or administrative pur poses in the United States, but it cannot serve as a busis of judicial sentence either in Chili or in the United States. The copy I have today hud the honor to send you ol the statement made by one of the seamen ot the Baltimore at Valparaiso, shows that .the seamen made no charge ngainst the police. The charges which he makes here, in the ab sence of the accused parties in contradic tion ot bis first statement can have no value, cither in law or in your enlight ened opinion. It is to be observed, moreover, that the statement made by this seamen at Valparaiso is attested by the judge, bv the signature of the seamen himself, and by that of the interpreter who was an officer of the Baltimore who had been appointed for the express purpose of in spiring the deponent with confidence. You were pleased to state in your in st uctions to Mr. Hgan, thut the under signed has not communicated to the United Mates government the note that was addressed to him by Mr. Matta on the 11th ol December last. The first time that the honorable secretary of state saw tit to cull my attention to the aforesaid note of Mr. Matta, 1 told him that that note contained instructions addressed to me by Mr. Matta and that as I bad not been directed to communicate it officially to the department of state, there was no reason why the honorable secretary should take cognizance of it. I further reminded you that it was a doctrine established by the American government that documents exchanged between the president and congress or between the department ol state and the diplomatic representative of the United States in foreign countries could not form a subject ol discussion tor foreign governments. I also took the liberty to remind ycu ol the case ot the illustrious Webster and the representative of Aus tria in IHM. The Austrian government complained at that time because it con sidered the instructions sent to the rep resentative ot the United Stutes unjust or disrespectful to Austria, said instruc tions having been published in a mes sage of the president who scut it to the senate. "This department," said Mr. Webster, "has on former occasions, informed min isters of foreign powers thut a communi cation from the president to either house of congress is regarded as a domestic communication; ot which, ordinarilv, no foreign state has no cognizance, and in more recent cases the impropriety ot making such communications a subject ot correspondence and diplomatic dis cussion has been fully shown. The circumstance ol publicity does not change the character of a communication in the opinion of Mr. Webster, "because such is the common and usual mode of proceeding," in communications ot the president and senate. It was, therefore, on account of the nature of the note and on no other reason that I based my ab stention from communicating to you the instructions which Mr. Matta has sent ine on the 11th ol December, and 1 had the tumor so to inform you. 1 added, however, that it was far from being the purpose of my government to act in a manner at all offensive to the president of the United States or to nny memlier of his cabinet, and thut Mr. Mattu's note, it nghtiv interpreted, ad mitted of no such construction. I alterwaids had the honor to inform vou that I had received instructions from my government to inform that of the United States that Us minister at Santi ago was not persona grota to the jro vera- ment of Chili, which would be very glad to receive another representative trom the United States, you were pleased to ac- acknowledge that the government ol Chili had the right to ask that a change should be made. Afterwards having given you notice, I addressed to you ill writ ing, the same communication which I hud 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 the most important part. Pedro Montt Blaine to Monlt. Department of Statk, Washington, v. C, Jan. 27, 18U2.J Sir; I have the honor to acknowledge your favor dated 23d inBt., but not re ceived by me until Monday, the 25th. I beg to comment on two or three of its recitals. 1 think from the zeal for your country you have made some mis takes which I shall proceed to correct. You are right in saying that I consid ered the proceedings of the government ol Chili in making a judicial investiga tion of the unhappy atlair at Valparaiso praiseworthy. But you will remember that as early as the 25th ot November, 1 complained of the length of the judicial proceedings, and Irom time to time re newed the complaint, saying to you very lately the court had already been eighty (Continued on fourth Page.) NOW THIS IS NEWS RIGHT THE WHEELS OP PROGRESS W1XI. NOW GO 'ROUND. The Board of Aldermen Heel This Morning- and Accept a Proposition From New York Hankers-No Twenty Per Cent For pitcb In This. The board of aldermen held a called meeting in the mayor's office this morn ing at 10 o'clock. The meeting was called for the pur pose of hearing and considering a prop osition made for the purchase of Ashe ville ' improvement bouds. Before the meeting was called to order Maj. D. C. Waddell, the alderman-elect, entered the room and the oath of office was administered to him by Mayor Blunton, after which ceremony the new member was congratulated by his fellow aldermen. There ware present Aldermen McDowell, Gudger, Brevard nnd Leo nard. C. Street, the representative of Coffin & Stanton, bankers, of New Yori and London, then stated bis prop osition, which was to take $160,0U0 worth ol the street improvemeut bonds and $100,000 worth of the sewer bonds at par, the city to allow them 5 per cent, of the par value for placing them. There was considerable discussion on the proposition, and it was decided that the improvement act under which the bonds are sold will not allow the sale of more than $100,000 worth of the street bonds at a time. Mr. Gudger then made a motion, which carried, to accept a proposition for the purchase of $200,000 worth of street bonds $100,000 worth at once and the other $100,000 worth as the paving pro gresses. His motion included the ap pointment of a committee from the board to draw up a contract which would fully protect the city, and report to the board tomorrow afiernoon at 3 o'clock. The $200,000 worth of bonds will a little more than cover the amount of work now contracted for. The committee is composed of Messrs. Waddell, Gudger and Brevard. Mr. Street then made a proposition to take $100,000 worth of the sewer bouds a t par, if the city would give his firm the contract lor the sewer work, the work to be done by the city, with home labor, and the firm to receive a ten per cent, contractor's commission. Mr, Gudger then made a motion to ac cept the second proposition, subject to the approval of the joint hoard ot alder men and advisors, and that a committee from both boards be appointed to con sult with Mr. Street and report to the meeting tomorrow afternoon, the motion prevuilcd, and the following committee was appointed: Aldermen Starnes, Waddell and Gudger; advisors, Cumtmngs, Scott uud Conant. The meeting then adjourned until to morrow alternoon at the hour ap pointed. DID NOT CAPITRK GARZA. Col. Nieves) Hernandez to be Snot for Not Dolux His) Duty. San Antonio, Tcx., Jan. 27. Col. Nieves Hernandez, late commander -of the Mexican garrison, ut Mier, and who has been sentenced to be shot, was con victed of sympathy with Garza. It was shown at the court-martial that he might have captured Garza and his fol lowers during the events of Dec. 11, 12, and 13, hud he chosen to do so. When sentenced he bowed his thanks to the court. Then he walked down the street with the most nonchalant air, as though in command of the very men who circled him with bayonets. Wliv Chili Apologized. Washington, Jan. 20. The President attributes the probable apology of Chili, to the fact that news of the recent ac tion of the Hornet Nest Riflemen, of Charlotte, N. C, had reached Valparaiso. Minister Kgan informed the Chilian gov ernment of the warlike disposition of the Hornets, and conciliatory measures were adopted by the Chilian govern ment.
