Minister Fox to the Secretary of State.
Quito, December 30, 1910.
Regarding Comb’s December 29, I simply ask the department to await developments, pointing to the fact that the Peruvian minister here to-day, through Brazilian minister, has asked the withdrawal of the police guard over the Peruvian legation which has been stationed there since the attack on that legation last April.
Brazilian minister has arranged informal and unofficial conference for next week at his legation between minister for foreign affairs of Ecuador, Peruvian minister, Colombian minister, Chilean minister, and myself, the subject to be discussed being the possibility of a direct arrangement between Peru and Ecuador of their boundary controversy.
