Sir: I have the honor to announce a formal delivery of the proposal of mediation by the Argentine Republic, Brazil, and our Government was made at 11 o’clock last night to the minister of foreign affairs of Peru.

The text presented by the Department of State to Argentina and Brazil in its proposal of mediation was signed and delivered by me, while the representatives of Argentina and Brazil signed their translations of that text each in his own language.

Mr. Porras thanked us again for the mediation, and said the answer of his Government had been ready since Wednesday last and would be formally communicated at once.

I have, etc.,

Leslie Combs.
