Madrid, February 21,

Fish, Secretary of State, Washington:
Important interview with Castro to-day, in which terms of final written agreement were practically settled, on bases, first, that indemnification is co-extensive with claims preferred; second, that no issue is raised as to the persons who may receive it, whether for executions or a detention; third, that time, place, and manner of payment shall be satisfactory 5 and fourth, that distribution shall be made by the President, in his discretion. I hope to cable text of agreement by Tuesday.
CUSHING.
