Oun relations with Spain, according to the announcement of the formal «ig- nature of the teriuti of settlement of the YirfinitiB question, seems to be premature, as it ia kuorn from the best authority that the tlnal couelusiau of the arrangement 1ms to await the formal recognition of the new govern ment of King Alfonso by the United States.
