si,ions have been made 10 Mr.. CaIderon'
which he will no doub, accede 10, and then
the present and pressing difficulties with
Spain will be adjusted, and the American
prisoners in Cuba and Spain will be releas
ed, and sen, for, and brought home.
Nj. Caideron, it IS we'll known, demand
ed no, only repars1ion for the injuries and
indlgu,ies which the Spanish Consul sui
fered IN New Orleans, but he urged that
the repara,ion should be accompanied with
some uaasual formali'ies.
This Government never hesi,ates to re-
ceive any national ship Of war with the
customary salute; but Mr.. Caidercn wishes
that, on the arrival of the Consul At New
Orleans. he should be received with a ss'

taken the ground that Consul is DOT en''

Should Mr.. Ca!deron see fl 10 reject them

Mr.. Calderon, old and experienced as he is,
and connected as ne is by social AID do
