Circular of Announcement. In Accordance with an Act of Congress, approved May 13, 1892, the President has appointed a Commission to represent the United States at the Commemoration of the Fourth Centenary of the Discovery of America, to take place in Spain in the latter part of the present year. The Spanish Government, in pursuance of the Royal Decree of January 9, 1891, has provided for a series of International celebrations, most prominent among which will be two historical Expositions to be held in Madrid simultaneously and in adjacent buildings - one the Exposicion Historico-Americana, the other the Exposicion Historico-Europea. It is intended that the Historic-American Exposition shall illustrate the civilization of the New Continent in the Pre-Columbian, Columbian and Post-Columbian Periods, while in the Historic-European Exposition will be shown the civilization of Europe, and particularly of the Iberian Peninsula, at the time when the new world was discovered and colonized.
