The American Minister to Chile to the Secretary of State.
Santiago, March 19, 1913.
Minister of Foreign Affairs informs me that negotiations have been resumed with Peru through intermediation of Chilean Consul at Callao and has shown to me telegrams exchanged recently by which the effect of secret message of the President of Peru to the Peruvian Congress which caused interruption of negotiations is neutralized. From telegrams both parties appear anxious to reach satisfactory arrangement but no definite propositions have been advanced. Minister of Foreign Affairs hopes to settle on basis outlined in my despatch No. 300.
