MADRID, July IAN important inter-
view occurred yesterday between John
W. Foster, American Minister, and Senior
CanOvar del Castillo aud Senior J. Deel
d. Nayen, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
Spanish Minister showed desire to ar
rive at an equitable commercial arrange

America was. animated with amicable
views regarding trade with Cuba, and as
far as possible would feel inclined to meet
the views of Spain and Cuba. He de-
clared that America had no desire to an
mex Cuba now nor at any future time.
America had no wish to assume further

by treaty the privilege of importing sugar
into America free. Unless Cuba and the
English West India Islands secured equal

ket was lost.
