4 Peravian.Chilian Peace.
/ WASHINGTON, June 15.-In correspon-
dence relating to South America sent to
the Senate of today, Mr.. Trescott in his
latest letter to Secretary Frelinghuyssn /,
considering tho question of peace be-
tween Peru and Chill, says Senior Novoa,
of Chill, expressed his willingness to ac-
espt preliminary agreement by which
Gen. Montero, of Peru. would bind him
self to submit to proposal to nation
al congress of such treaty as he and
Newman could agree upon, and to recog-
nize Gen. Montero's government upon
the execution Of such invest mont. This
would have afforded An opportunity for
the opening Of negotiations, but Novoa
added limitations that if Congress did
not approve the treaty 80 submitted, the
recognition would be withdrawn. This
was simply an impossible condition.
The recognition of the Montero govern
ment had to be positive. If Congress
failed to approve Chill could still prowl
with war until Peru was compelled to
accept her terms, but to obviate such re-
coRnition Of the treaty before negotia-
ton, and "a p~vvvnt ..uUh aavAiUesa ...-a
embarrassing talk, Novoa was willing
to adopt another method. He would
sign treaty with Gen. Montero, to be
submitted and approved by the munich
palities, that is by the local authorities
of the separate provinces. Such method
WAS entirely behind Gen. Montsro's
power, and would have led to renewal
of differences between the various par
ties in Peru, Who, accepting Gen. Mon
tero AZ the legitimate representative of
the government. would scquissce in the
regular action of the Executive or Con-
gress. Senator Novoa was either indis-
posed or unauthorized to do moro than
this. Chilians believe that 80 long as
the Peruvians are convinced }he United |
States will finally intervene, they never |
will negotiate in earnest. It is unques- |
tionably true that the Peruvian govern
msnt does believe tho United States will |
intervene. They consider that the qnes-
ton of intervention, a. one of their off, |
GERS expressed it to me, will still be q |
pointed one. Neither Chill nor Peru |
will approach the solution Of their diff |
culties in q proper spirit or in any hope |
of results satisfactory to both as long
as the Impressions last that the United
States intend to interfere effectively to |
prevent the disintegration of Peru. The
time has come when that intervention
should be avoided. II it does not, still
moro urgent is the necessity that Chile
and Peru should understand exactly
whore the action of the United States
ends. It would be entirely beyond my
doty to discuss the character or conse-
qusnces of either limo of conduct, but I
trust that you will not deem that I 60
beyond my duty in impressinR upon the
Government that the present position is
one Of embarrassment to all belligerents,
and that it should be terminated as
promptly as possible. There is another
conviction which it is clearly my duty to
express. believe that whenever the
United States withdraws from further
intervention Peru will apply to Euro
pean powers, and shat the joint inter-
vention Of two or moro is probable.
