Santiago, Oct. 2". - The United States govern mentón Monday, through Minister Egan, formal lydemanded rep aration f rom the government of Chili for the attack recently made in Valparaíso upon a number of the seamen of the United States cruiser Baltimore. The demand made by the United States minister is no informal suggestion that the government at Washington expects some kind of satisfaction for the killing and wounding of the Baltiinore's sailors. it is a firmly put notification, given aceording to direct orders received from the state d'partment at IV'ashing-ton, that the United States demands an immediate exphination oí the whole affair and reparation for tb. injuries inflieted. Acting upon the instruetions sent to him from Washington Mr. Egan presonted the junta with a detailed statement of the results of the investigación made by C'apt. Schley, of the Baltimore, and by Mr. Egan himself. These investigations show that Charles Riggan, one of the Baltimore's petty ofBcers, was brutally assaulted by several Chilians while he was riding on a street car. Eiggan resisted, but was dragged from the car and murdered by a pistol shot while in the arms of his companions. Turnbull, another of the Baltimore's wounded men, who died Monday from his injuries, received no less than eighteen wounds in the back, two of them penetrating his lungs. After giving a full list of the Baltimore s crew who were injured by the mob Mr. Egan's ment called attention to the fact that thirty-five of the cruiser's crew were on the day of the Hots arrested, unnecessary violence belng used by the pólice, and that they were detained in custody without due cause. In conclusión, Mr. Egan said that the surgeons of the United States vvar&hip expressed th? opinión that sorae of the wounds inflicted npon the American sailors were bayonet wounds, and that this clearly showed that the pólice offlcers of Valparaíso, who were armed with bayouets, took part in the attaok. The Americans were without arms and practica] ly defenseless. Mr. Egan. in presentinjï the Chilian Junta with thisstuU-ment of the assault on the Amoiivan sailors, expressed in distinct terins the feeling1 of great indignation whlch the state department at Washington feels at the whole affair, and especiallv at the brutal conduct of the pólice of Valparaíso in joining with the mob in the latter's attack upon the Baltimore's Beamen and in drawing thelr bayonets and usinj them apainst the unarmed Ameriaans. Mr. Egan partieularly called attention to the additional brutality of the pólice of Valparaíso in using honses to drag the Americans to prison. After making a brief but pointed summary of the fácts to which he had been instructed to eall attention, Minister Eg-an infm-med the representative of the junta that, in the name of the United States, hedemandod reparation for the insulta and injuries complained of.
