Mr. Day to Mr. Buchanan.

Department of State,
Washington, D. C., July 29, 1898.

[Telegram.]

Buchanan, Minister, Buenos Ayres:

Learning with great regret of the tension which has arisen in regard to the boundary demarcation between the Argentine Republic and Chile, the Government of the United States charges you to express the earnest hope that the parties may find it practicable to compose their differences in accordance with the agreement already existing for marking the boundary by the commissioners, and for arbitrating any point on which the commissioners may be unable to agree.

Day.
