says Lima despatch to the Nacion. II
adds that Peru's reply will be couched
in such language as to leave the door
open to further negotiations.
| The despatch says 1t Is understood
that Peru's attitude is that the lapse
of nearly forty years since the signing
of tho treaty Of Ancon. providing for
the holding of such a plebiscite, has in
validated the stipulations of that in
strument in so far as they apply to the
plebiscite, and that arbitration remains
as the sole method of solving the diff
Guilty. 1t adds that it is probable Peru
will insist on the designation of the
United States as mediator OF. arbiter in
the dispute.
A report in circulation here that the
Lima Government had asked the United
States Embassy there to confirm,
through the United States Embassy at
Santiago, the authenticity of the Chilean
note, led to the belief in some quarters
here that II Peru should reply to the
note its reply would be made through
American diplomatic channels. There
was much conjecture here to-day re-
garding Peru's action.
LIMA, Peru. Dec. II (Associated
Press) Arbitration by the United
States of the difficulties between Peru
and Chile over the provinces of Tacpa
| and africa was suggested editorially to-
/ day by the Prenso, the Peruvian Gov
ernment organ. The newspaper char
acterizes the invitation of the Chilean
Government to hold plebiscite in these
provinces in accordance with the terms
of the treaty Of Ancon, as "a gross in
! suit following the deportation Of Peru
vians from the captured provinces
The report that revolutionary troops
operating in eastern Peru had defeated

| cember Is denied by DIR. Leguia Y
| Martinez, Premier of the Peruvian Gov

"The rebel forces have been repelled
