Peru Withdraws Minister Prom

Washington, March l6.-Soms
apprehension is felt in official
circles over the reported action Of
Peru i'll withdrawing her minister
from the Chilian capital.
Although the withdrawal has not
been communicated officially to
this government, yet it is accepted
as fact, since it is in li1e with
what was expected to follow the
acton: o! the Chilian congress in
rejecting tie plan or arbitrating
the remaining differences between
the two counties on their boundary
question. Ths Chilian minister
was withdrawn rome time ago
rom Peru, so that tho recall of the
Peruvian minister from Chile
leaves each country without .
diplomatic representative in thu
other. Whether this will amount

lomatic relations has not been
made clear by the meagrs advices
at hand, but in any event it is
looked upon as a further evidence
of the growing seriousness of the
