Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 9, 1891

Mr. Egan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Santiago, September 30, 1891. (Received October 1.)

Mr. Egan states that in a note sent him the minister for foreign affairs refuses safe-conduct or permission to refugees to leave the country, and maintains the correctness of all that has been done by the authorities. The minister for foreign affairs also repeats the unfounded and absurd charges of the refugees conspiring in the United States legation. Since Saturday the trouble to the legation had ceased, and no more arrests had been made.
