The Chargé in Peru (Hanna) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

115. Your No. 77, October 2, noon. President Leguia, whom I have just seen, says that I may inform you that he accepts your suggestion in the same spirit that he accepted your earlier suggestion to renew diplomatic relations with the Government of Chile. President Leguia gave me this answer without hesitation, adding that the suspension of the proceedings of the Boundary Commission will be regarded as a diplomatic victory by the Government of Chile in its efforts to maintain its claim to territory never embraced in the Treaty of Ancon.36
