4 MUTUAL CONCESSION.
On several occasione during tho negotiations
tia prospects of war we're serious; but, by ono
Government yielding u moro Or 1esH important

most important point yielded by this Goyoril-
nlont was in the mattor ot tho tl1no within
which tho anBwcr OF Hpaln should 10 made.
When Spain lal agrool to Burrentlor tho Fir-
glntus, tho Unitod 6tatea was generous enough
to postpone tho timo for tho surrender indaf-
lnltaly, but with tho understanding tllat thu
negotiations should ba proucoutod without delay.
