TACNA CONFERENCE
Chilean Foreign Office In.

in Negotiations.
Br tho Assoeiateti Press.


Unexpected delay In consummAting
the Chilean-Peruvian agreement on
Tacna-Arfca developed today upon
the receipt OF a long cabiesram con-
tanning instructions from the Chilean
foreign ONCE to the Chilean deiega-
tion here.
The message arrived just in time to
cause postponement of the Joint meet
morning in the expectation that final
details Of the Tacna-Arica protocol
could be completed. At the request
of the Chileans the session was put
off until late this afternoon.
Contenfs Not Known.
The nature of the cablegram was
not disclosed. but there were indica-
tions that 1t suggested some changes
in the phraseology Of the protocol as
tentatively drafted here and referred
to the Chilean foreign once for ap-
proval.
Believing that the message could
be dccoded and acted upon without
delay. the Chtleans at flrst asked
that this mornings meeting be de-
Of the dispatch. Al the end OF an
hour. however. the Chiieans had not
rcappcared in the conference room
and they sent word that they would
rot be in position to proceed until
late in the day. The hour Of 6 pm.
was tentatively fixed al the time Of
meeting. While no Chilean would
discuss the contents Of the communi-
cation, 1t was intimateti In sorne
Chilean quarters that the home gov
ernmcnt might desire to include in
the protocol q clear recognition OF
the validity OF the treaty Of Ancon.
1t is understood that as originally
drafted, the instrument made this
recognition only by inference.
Whether an actual hitch would de-
volop as q result of the message from
Santiago was not apparent. Both del
esations. however, continued their
Element would not long be delayed.
1t was the belief In conference
!cireles before the receipt OF this

odds and ends OF the negottations
could be cleared away before night,
and that only few days more would
be required to complete the formal.
