The Spanish minister shows me text of note recognizing Mulai Hafid as Sultan, which note it is proposed to have delivered to-day by the dean of the diplomatic corps. The terms of the proposed note are found satisfactory. You will inform the dean that the United States, for its part, accepts the assurances given by Mulai Hafid and acquiesces in the concurrent notification of recognition.
