Mr. Egan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Santiago, July 25, 1891.

Mr. Egan telegraphs that the English, German, and French ministers have given an undertaking, which the Chilean Government requires as a condition of clearing cargoes from Chilean ports, that if ships should be forcibly compelled to enter ports in control of revolutionists their liberation will be exacted by the fleets of their respective nations. Mr. Egan asks whether he may give the same assurance.
