States, whether they be in Spain fulfilling their
sentence, or whether they still remain in Cuba.
Finally, she hereby approves the conduct Of her
Minister at Washington, who has known SO well
how to comprehend the respective positions of the
Spanish government and that of the United States,
in order to bring to happy termination. and in
the most conciliatory manner, so important and
delicate a business. And, in order to give him a
proof Of her royal esteem, she has conceded him
the Grand Cross of Charles ILL., in virtue OF the fol-
lowing
ROYAL DECREE.
Desiring to give proof Of how pleasing to me
have been the distinguished services OF Don Angel
Calderon de la Barca, my Minister Plenipotentary
in the United States, during the time that he fuhs
that important mission, and singularly so in the
last and delicate negotiations charged to his zeal
and loyalty TO my government and SO satisfac tori
ly terminated conforming myself with the propo-
sal of my Minister Of Foreign Affairs, in accord
with the council of ministers, hereby concede to
him the Grand Cross OF the royal and dl5tlng
