[Telegram from secretary of state,
Madrid, to Spanish minister, Washington. Received 28th November,
1873—6.30 p.m.]
[undated].
We can accept the restitution according the terms of your telegram. Inform Mr. Fish at once, and express the satisfaction with which I see happily terminated the negotiations between two nations who have been at peace during a century under different forms of government, and could not forget that they now happily live under the same institutions.
