new representative of the United States, Mr. Souk,
will in the course of a short time issue a note in wirkh
the idea of the purchase of the Isle of Cuba will be in-
dicated. In case he should commit such a political
fault, which is not very probable, the reply of the
Spanish government will soon be given ; it will ener-
getically protest its firm resolution to defend the in-
tegrity of the territory belonging to Spain. M.
Itiquelme, Under-Secretary of State in the depart-
ment of Foreign Affairs, has, it is said, been uomi•
noted minister of Spain at Constantinople, and M.
Caballero, the present minister, will become Under-
Secretary of State, a post he has already worthily
