tablished the Cardinal Athletic Club

PARLEY IN WASHINGTON
WAITS WORD FROM PERU
Validity of Treaty Plebiscite
May Be in Question.

WASHINGTON, May rs (Associated
Press) The Chilean-Peruvian confer
ence on the treaty of Ancon. which has
been at a standstill for nearly a week
awaiting decisions by the Peruvian For
eign Office in Lima, prolonged its recess
to Monday. the Peruvian plenipoten-
tiaries being again unprepared to re-
sumo negotiations. -.
The delegates. continue to. surround
details Of the initial exchanges with a
cloak of mystery, but developments have
convinced many of the Latin American
diplomatists here that such important
questions as the validity Of the treaty's
plebiscite provision were brought inn
mediately to the surface.
1t Is realized that the plebiscite and
related questions are issues of intense
popular interest in Peru, and 1t Is taken
for granted that sentiment throughout
the country is being watched closely by
Lima officials as they formulate their
conference policies.
A far less reticent attitude has been
taken by the commission Of native Tara
pacans. which announced to-day 1t had
received information of a. tremendous
movement Of public opinion was in
progress in favor Of Tarapacan restora-
ton, and that mass meetings similar to
that originally held in Lima had taken
place also at oArequita, Puno and Cuzco
Trujillo.
