Mr. Wharton to Mr. Egan.

No. 99.]

Sir: I append on the overleaf a copy of your telegram of the 4th instant, conveying the gratifying intelligence that the Chilean Government and the revolutionists have cordially accepted the mediation of the United States, Brazil, and France in the interest of peace.

Permit me to express the hope that the strife which has been going on in Chile may, through the combined efforts of the Governments in question, be speedily and happily terminated.

I am, etc.,

William F. Wharton,
Acting Secretary.
