No. 5. Mr. Osborn to Mr. Blaine.

Legation of the United States, Buenos Ayres, July 23, 1881. (Received Sept. 5.)

No. 329.]

Sir: The treaty of limits between the Argentine Republic and Chili was signed this, 3, p.m. by Dr. Irigoyen, minister of foreign affairs, and Mr. Echevarria, Chilian consul-general, who was constituted minister plenipotentiary ad hoc by telegraphic dispatch from his government.

Same delay was caused by failing to come to an agreement on the part of Chili in reference to the wording of basis or article fifth.

On the 20th instant I received a note from the minister of foreign affairs informing me that Mr. Echevarria had been instructed by his government to confirm arrangement arrived at, a copy of which, with a copy of my reply, I have the honor to inclose herewith.

The arrangement arrived at appears to be acceptable, at least no opposition, either by party or press, has as yet made its appearance.

I have the honor, &c.,

THOS. O. OSBORN.
