Mr. Blaine to Mr. Egan.
Washington, January 16, 1892.
Mr. Blaine points to essential differences between anything maintained by Mr. Webster and what was done by Mr. Matta when, in his message of the 11th December, he instructed Mr. Montt to have that document printed in the United States; and, referring to the palpable insults found in it against the President and other officers of the United States, says that, in his opinion, the transmission of the circular was unprecedented. He declares that the desired withdrawal by President Montt of everything of a discourteous character should be done freely and in suitable terms by Chile. He enjoins prompt action.
