SPAIN THE DEFAJLrER.
Spain has strong sense OF her own dignity.
When her good ally Great Britain, asked her
through tue ambassador at Madrid, to grant Pro-
kstsnt burial ground for subjects who happened to
Gle il tue Spanish capital the request was grdnsei,
Ii was granted after it had beea askee for City
years upon condition that the English attending
tie funeral should make sign either that they all
chapel, or that they perforated public Worship, or
that they had dead BODY, for the corpse is 60
be conveyed to tha grave without publicity. In
Spain, the English said to be horetic, without a
faith ana perhaps to make good their words, the
Spanish authorities forbid the English to appear with
any signs OF faith At the close OF life Such the
conditions when Engl and has favor to ask OF
81 ain.
spain has asked favor OF England, or of private
Ebs lisbmen it Ia to advance capital for 3pansl
railways. The request has been thought sufficiently
important for special agent to come to this coun-
try; he was anticipated by rnmor, not at oil sur
prising in the case OF government like that OF
Spain, Il was said that, as usual, official or royal
people would profit by these projects; and the trAdi-
tioGs OF Capel Court and its titled clients were Tor
time transferred to Madrid and certain distinguished
persons, who are understood TO have made capi'al
out Of tie political vicsltUdes OF that country Tn5,
coupled with that bad faith which has excluded
Spanish stock from quotation on our Elk ugs,
had cast discredis upon the projects. Some, how.
ever, were inclined TO give money. and. a natural
anxiety existed 70 know who would guarantee the
good jaith OF Spain. Allusion made on the part
Of the possible lenders to their government,
their protector and this hint, the Espana, .
Madrid journal which is understood TO be the organ
Of the Minister Senior Egana, launches oct in
dgnantly at the insult.
Base ia the 4laye that PAYS" and baser still he
tLa. gives guarantees or admits the appeal to
}Creien government, II Enelsbmen are permitted 30
advance their capital for Spanish railways, it must
be without these haUiil'atiDg conditions for Spain III

lions may bow Us down with our foreheads to the
sarth but If Spain accepts millions, she must

appeals, doubt her faith
Yet spain hss owed us before, and We have had
some reA.on to question her dignity. There WAS,
for ,xanple, The capital of tho Spanish Five per
cert active boaus OF 1884 about ESQ 900 000 then
there WAS the Spanish "Defeercd' five cents, OF
1884, capital about sl3 600 600; Spaaisn Pas.

Spanish Three per cents, Of $40, capital e..
Goo 600; created by the capitalization OF iutsrosts
Ut Par. We say nothing OF the arrears Of interest,
sometimes capitalized, sometimes simply over due
for years topeIsr but these are good round Sans,
by which English trust and Spanish integrity have
bsea tested.
