[Telegram.]

The following telegram has been received from the legation at Lima (supra, June 1):

Hasten solemnly to impress the Government of Ecuador with the fact that by failure to take similar action and to make their acceptance unencumbered with premature arguments they would assume before the world the responsibility of jeopardizing the mediation and of the grave consequences which might follow.

Knox.
