Washington, July 18.— Information
has come to the state department of a
prospective settlement of the Acre
boundary dispute, which for a long
time has been a source of friction be
tween the governments of Brazil and
Peru.
The contention involves the
ownership of a large tract of country,
rich in rubber production, which is
claimed alike by both countries.
The information reaching the state
department is to thfe effect . that the
plenipotentiaries of the two countries,
who have been meeting at R io Janeiro
and Petrupolis, Brazil, have come to an
agreement on the disputed questions.
The nature of the agreement is not
known here.
Recently Brazil secured a quit claim
to a certain portion of the disputed ter
ritory made by Bolivia and was in tnrn
met by the demands of Pern, which
also laid claim to portions of the tract.
