[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Santiago, January 11, 1892.

Mr. Egan replies that lie will return a full answer to Mr. Blaine’s telegram in the morning, when he expects to see the minister for foreign affairs, whom he could not succeed in seeing on Sunday. He explains that on Saturday he was in Valparaiso and placed two of the refugees on board the cruiser. He says that they were not granted formal safe-conducts, and that the legation is still sheltering live refugees.
