Chargé Pierrepont to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

American Legation,
Santiago, April 7, 1910.

Minister for foreign affairs this afternoon showed me telegrams sent to Quito, Washington, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires, in which he declared that Chile considers peace necessary and that Peru and Ecuador should take the opportunity provided by the Secretary of State for amicable settlement. Telegram from Quito reports quiet and that Government of Ecuador wants to follow advice of Chile. Assault on Peruvian Legation is said to have been fomented by the opposition.

Pierrepont.
