James D. Hague 



conferred by the Government upon 

 Mr. Cutter (October 2 2d, 1894), for 

 his " noble endeavors relating to the 

 establishment of the schools on the 

 Island of Tanegashima." 



Mr. Cutter's relations with Spain 

 were apparently very pleasant, having 

 begun many years ago (1879) m a 

 correspondence with Senor Castelar, 

 when, in response to a public appeal 

 for aid in behalf of many sufferers 

 from disastrous floods in the province 

 of Murcia, he sent to Castelar a gift 

 of one thousand francs as the " con- 

 tribution of an American who remem- 

 bers that the discovery of his native 

 land was owing to the generosity of 

 Spain." Castelar personally acknowl- 

 edged this gift in a very gracious let- 

 ter and sent his photograph, bearing 

 his own inscription of greeting and 

 friendly regard, " A mi amigo Hora- 

 tio F. Cutter, en prueba de entr aft- 

 able afecto, Emilio Castelar."
