No. 10. Mr.. Adams to Don Wives,
May 8. This is lengthy and able expo
sitiOn of our claims on Spain, and her e.
yasiens Of rendering justice during twenty
wears past. The treaty Of 22d Febru
airy, 1919, was signed after a succession
OF negotiations, Of nearly twenty years
duration, in which all the causes of differ
ence between the two nations had been
thoroughly discussed, and with final ad-
mission 90 the part Of Spain, that there
we're existing Just claims on her govern
ment, at least to the amount Of five mil,
lions of dollars, due TO citizens of the |
United States. and for the payment Of |
which provision was made by the treaty.
1t was signed by minister, who had
been several years residing in the United
States, in constant aud unremitiing exer-
lions to maintain the interests and preten-
sions of Spain, involved ia the negocia-
tons signed after producing full power,
by which, in terms as solemn and sacred
as the hand of sovereign can subscribe,
his Catholic Majesty had promised to ap-
prove, ratify, and fulfill, whatever should
be stipulated and signed by him." The
conditional promise Offered by Don Wives
in lieu of the, positive one that the treaty
would be signed, cannot be accepted by
the president, who views this as deter
mination on the part of the Spanish gov
eminent still further TO battle the issue of
the negotiation.
No. IA. Mr.. GalIa,in to the Secretary
of State, dated Paris, Feb. Is, 1920.
Giving the substance of some interviews
with Don Wives, and also of the Spanish
minister at Paris. MIR. G. had given ex-
planations Of the neutrality Of the u. S.
between Spain and her colonies, and Don
Wives and Mr.. Pasquier had declared
that Spain only wanted TO save her honor
and not appear Inconsistent mas.
much as the grantees had not complied
with the conditions these grants would be
Northumberland although Don ". was
not the bearer of ratified treaty, yet he
was authorised to give as full possession
| Of Florida, If the required explanations"
we're satisfactory.
No. IS. Mr.. Rush 10 Mr.. Adams da-
ted London, Feb. Is. Gen. Wives was
then in London, but Mr.. r. had not seen
him. Lord Castiereagh had seen him, and
did not fail to say TO him every thing Of
4 healing nature as between the United
States and Spain"
