DR. CAMERONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether anything definite has yet been done in the way of advancing or securing a settlement of the claim against the Chilian Government for compensation for the murder of Dr. MacLean, the physician to the British Legation, by Chilian soldiery, at Chorillos, in January last?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEHer Majesty's Representative at Santiago was instructed on July 28 to include the claim of Dr. M'Lean's relatives among those already presented by him to the Chilian Government. He has also been instructed to call the attention of the Chilian Government to the injustice which the continued delay is causing to the numerous claimants, and to urge upon them the necessity for taking such steps as will insure a settlement of these claims within a reasonable time.
