WASHINGTON, August 10, 1869.
The Spanish monarchs ruled In the Mexican Terri.
tory through vicer0ys, intendants, captains, gene.
rails and governors, from the conquest, in 1921 by
Hernandez Cortez, till 1921 when the power Of Old
Spain terminated in Mexico. Upon the accession OF
Charles " OF Germany to the Spanish crown, under
the title OF Charles I. King OF Spain, he became
ruler OF the entire extensive Spanish empire In
America. After his accession and in the year 1924
he established council to frame laws ordinances
and regulations for the Spanish ultramarine empire.
BY royal ordinance or September a. l57l Philip III.
commanded the enforcement OF these laws. Addi.
tions and amendments were subsequently made, the
republication verified and Its enforcement ordered
IN 1882. Other editions were published in 1923 ana
1745 followed by collection from that year till 1905
These constitute the laws bearing on the Spanish
land system. The United States acquired Florida
from Spain in 1910, but not bound to recognize
British grants that were not adopted by Spain before
January, 1918.
The pervading principle OF the Spanish land sys.
TEN is a limitation OF extent OF a grant from the
royal domain TO the object for which the land is
ceded. The premises must be dedicated TO that end
and improved during possession; the boundaries
must be defined. These are prerequisites to ultimate
title, and failure to comply with the conditions
works forfeiture OF the grant. Other distinct princ
pies are that the government may locate military
posts or reservations or use any part Of the domain
for military purposea aud royal grant shall not In
terfere with this right and that Its abandonment en-

General Quesadas forces had not appeared at that
