The Minister in Bolivia (Feely) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:15 p.m.]
16. The Chilean Minister here has been informed by his Government that Paraguay has accepted the proposal of the neighboring countries with only slight modifications and has suspended consideration of the Executive’s proposal to declare war on Bolivia. In view of the Paraguayan acceptance the Chilean Minister has been instructed to urge prompt acceptance of the proposal by Bolivia.
I gather from extra-official conversations here that Bolivia will not accept withdrawal and demobilization of troops and will insist upon exact delimitation of arbitral zone.
