Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 4, 1882

No. 53.
Mr. Trescot to Mr. Frelinghuysen .

[Telegram.]

Special Mission of the United States,
Santiago , March 4, 1882.

Instructions carried out scrupulously. Chili will not modify peace terms. Publication of my instructions and my confidential telegram have rendered modification impossible. Will stay as ordered, but my presence at Washington, with information, will be more useful than remaining here. What communication of the intention of the United States shall be made to Peru and to Bolivia?

TRESCOT.
