''Afr President-Havng been honored

royal letter which aecredits me In that
capacity. Spain and the United States
certainly are two nations which have every
reason to live in perfect harmony with
each other, constantly maintaining the
cordial relations which their mutual in
terests demand, and the sincere friendship
that has 80 long existed between the two
governments IS a guarantee to mo OF the
successful discharge OF the official func

rected toward strengthening the cordiality
of those relations, and to draw them closer
if possible shall thus follow the example
OF my worthy predecessors.

ductions and manufactures of each people
is surely one OF the necessary laws that are
based upon the instincts OF universal needs
of the present day, and the greater the diff.
ference between their customs, dispositions
and the productions OF their labor, SO much
the more necessary is il for nations TO come
closer together and TO increase their ex-
changes. Large transactions have been
the beneficial result of the intimate rela-
tions which have so long existed between
America and Spain, and great, as is well
known, is the community Of commercial in
terests that happily unites my nation and
yours
He Hopes for Cooperation.
'To maintain these interests and to con
tribute to their development shall be the
object of my most solicitous care, and len
terrain the hope, Mr.. President, that in you
and your government ! shall meet with
kind and friendly cooperation in the at
tainment Of this, my desire, and that
shall successfully fulfil the high mission
which has been confded to me in this re-
