Santiago, December 12, 1891. (Received January 22, 1892.)

No. 249.]

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of 9th instant, stating that Chilean minister insists that I had been asked to give testimony in Baltimore case and that I had not done so, to which I replied to-day by telegram.

For a full explanation of this matter I beg to refer you to my dispatch No. 245 of 4th instant, and have again to express my surprise at the statement communicated by the minister of foreign relations here to the Chilean minister at Washington.

I have, etc.,

Patrick Egan.
