Letter
Frelinghuysen to Henry Trescot, February 21, 1882
No. 47. Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. Trescot.
[Telegram.]
Department of State, Washington, February 21, 1882.
On the 21st of February, 1882, Mr. Frelinghuysen instructed Mr. Trescot, by telegram received the same day, that the President had been hoping to hear further from Mr. Trescot; that the United States would assent to a liberal war indemnity, but that consent was not to be given to the cession of Tarapacá without first communicating with the Department; that should Chili persist in her demand for such cession, the creditors of Peru might possibly maintain that the revenue of Tarapacá had been already hypothecated, and that the President desired to urge moderation on the part of Chili.
