File No. 723.2415/172.

The Minister of Peru to the Acting Secretary of State.

Sir: I have the honor to inform you that a cable despatch from my Government, dated the 6th instant, advises the Legation that a protocol was signed at La Paz whereby the special commissions appointed to mark out the boundaries between Peru and Bolivia were empowered to establish the confines between the rivers Heath and Naverija. As the commissions have agreed upon the entire line of the said boundary, the frontier question between Peru and Bolivia is definitely settled: and this unfortunate cause of friction has been finally eliminated, in accordance with the policy of international peace and good will constantly pursued by my Government.

Accept [etc.]

F. A. Pezet.
