feeling of relief on all hands on
what is looked upon as the begin
Mug of peaceful ending OF the
controversy.
In the absence of official informa-
tion, many senators aud representa-
lives seem ohary of expressing their
views on the matter. The general
eoncensus Of opinion was that the
answer submitted II authentic

aud all that could be demanded.
The only point mentioned in our
ultimatum not covered 10y the dis
patch was the demand for an apol.
