Mr. Curry informs Mr. Bayard, in reply to his telegram respecting the case of cargoes from foreign countries arriving in American vessels at the ports of Cuba and Porto Rico, that he is authorized by the Spanish Government to state that the negotiation is considered by it as concluded on the basis of the three propositions made by it, and on the understanding that the wording of the second shall be in accordance with the terms of the text which the minister of Spain at Washington and the Secretary of State are to agree upon, inasmuch as the difficulty which Mr. Bayard’s telegram raises is settled by the terms of this text.
