omit the application to the survey thus showing
that its object is to withdraw euts Porter and Daven-
port from the mail service altogether,
Spain be not satisfied with these precautions the

be hard to please. The government ia determined that

the letter all treaty stipustions will compel
her to treat the United States with courtesy instead Of
insult and abuse.
