The Secretary of State to the Minister in Paraguay ( Kreeck )

2. The Bolivian Minister has informed me that Bolivia holds one Paraguayan officer and twelve soldiers prisoners, who are all at Villa Montes. The Bolivian Government proposes the immediate exchange of all Paraguayan prisoners held by Bolivia for all Bolivian prisoners held by Paraguay. Please communicate this proposal to Paraguayan authorities, and informally urge that the exchange be consummated without delay.
