SANTA Marina, 18th Aug. 1915.
10 his Ereslteacy the .fdmiral Of ia
nsalca,
The intentions Of his majesty the king
my master, with respect to this country.
are to doas much as lies in his sovereign
power, for the happiness of his beloved
vassais. AS a good father, he does not
except from this number, to those who,
no longer under the statutes OF Spain,
have been led astray more BY unavoida-
BE circumstances, than by inclination,
which leads al, Spaniards to love their
king. In the heart Of every one of them
this principle reigus. Convinced ofthis,
his majesty is determined for to do them
all the good that is compatible with the
rights Of lis throne. In pursuance Of
this, and having occupied almost all the
shores Of the river Magdalena, do declare
that the inhabitants of New Grenada, as
well as those Of the adjoining provinces,
may trade with foreign colonies by means
of the port of ST. Martha, subjecting
themselves to the rules and regulations
Which are there established, aud hereby
rendering all merchandise or vessels,
which may trade to any other port, under
whatever pretext, liable to condemnation,
even should they plead being driven to
leeward, the currents or storms. All
this orderin my province, and until the
will Of the king my master, is made
known, and | hope you will have the
goodness to have this published in the
provinces under your command, and that
YOU will believe in taking this step. |
have alike consulted the interests OF
the subjects of his Britannia Majesty
as we'll as those of the vassals of my soye-
reign.

No extraordinary preparations for war

In France, the language and actions OF
