DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Ny DEAR sR-I have received your note Of the 26th
ns in which, in referring to mine Of ths 10th ult
state the manner in which you understand the propo
Bition to submit to the decision OF mixed commission
ment between the Of Spain and the United
States.
Of the first paragraph Of note because the Minister
of the United States being absent from kingdom and
the legation Of that republic being in your charge 1t
does occur to that opinion which may not be

ing them TO you in the Of her Majestys govern.

individuals presented, respectively by either Of the
governments to the other from the date Of the
ton concluded in 1884 between Spain and the United

may be signed which may not yet have been definitely

Equally correct is the deduction made by you, that II
said agreement is consummated both shall
renqush by the very act Of signing It. the right they
might to continue to reparation for the
claims which have been presented to them, submitting
all the differences of opinion which might have arisen

ting themselves to accept its decisions defnitve.
In fine the proposition contained In my note of Sep
TENDER 10th, IL based the convention between Eng
land and the United States in 1885, and the intention Of
her Maestys government is that the mixed commission
which may be formed for investigating and deciding
upon the claims OF privite INDIVIDUALS between Spain

mode Of procedure and attributes with that established
by that convention between the United States and Great
Britain.

assurance OF my distinguished consideration. Your
obedient, humble servant, T. F. PACHECO.
