PERU AND CHILE MAKE
AN END OF DIFICULTY

An A|Hil?>Ky For Having Acted
| On Misinformation.
New York, Nov. 28.?Difficult lea
between Peru and Chile, which resulted
in recall of consular repre1
sentatives by each nation from the
principal cities of its neighbor, have
been overcome by an apology on the
|>art of the Peruvian government
- Carlos Castro Ruiz, consul general of
| Chile.
A cablegram Informing him of th3
Peruvian apology was received ny
Mr. Ruiz, according to his statement
9 from the Chilean foreign minister
x The message, the consul asserted
authorized him to announce that the
Peruvian officials admitted that it
j making public reports of outbreaks
against their citizens in Iquique and
Antofagaata, Chile, they had acted
t on misinformation. This was fur
nished. he said, by the Peruvian consul
nt Iquique, whose authority had
been cancelled for this reason by the
Chilean government.
The apology sent from Lima, Mr.
11 kiiiz added, was wholly satisfactory
to the Chilean officials and "brought
J the misunderstanding to an end."
. | The consul general stated that a
. series of messages received froi i
(i Santiago denied reports of anti-poruvian
demonstrations in Chile. The
J cablegram further announced, he
said, that the dismissal of the Peru
t vian envoy at Iqulque "had provoked
