Mr. Egan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Santiago, December 19, 1891. (Received December 20.)

Mr. Egan reports that the legation is still being watched by some twenty policemen, whose attitude he describes as most offensive, and that his son, an employé of the legation, was, for having gone out from the legation at 5 p.m., seized by the arm by a detective, who detained him on the street and called two regular policemen to his aid. He adds that he was allowed to proceed as soon as he was recognized.
