85. Your circular August 17, 5 p.m. The Minister of Foreign Affairs feels that the Uruguayan démarche, although well intentioned, [Page 495] would lead to no satisfactory result. The Spanish Minister to Chile told him this morning that his Government would certainly reject suggested mediation.
The Chilean Government has not yet replied to the Uruguayan proposal and would be glad to consider any suggestion by the Department.
