THE CIVIL WAR OF i8gi 371 made that Mr. Egan's recall would be acceptable to the Chilean government, was withdrawn. This reply was satisfactory to the United States gov- ernment, and the only question remaining for settle- ment not covered by Chile's reply was the amount of indemnity to be paid to the injured Baltimore sailors. This was settled by Chile placing at the disposal of Mr. Egan $75,000 in gold and asking him to cause it to be distributed among the families of the two United States seamen who lost their lives, and to the Baltimore sailors who were wounded. On the 7th of August, 1892, a treaty was agreed upon between the United States and Chile, by the terms of which a commission appointed conjointly by the two republics, shall pass upon all claims made on the part of corporations, companies or private individuals of either government upon the government of the other.
