ATTEMPT OF SPAIN TO JON TIE VI E%T'ERN
powERs.-Thc Paris correspondent Of the
London Times intin!atcs that Spain las de-
clar(d her willingness to join the Western
Powers in the present war, on condition that
France and England should guarantee to her
the possession Of Cuba:
81 alluded some days since to Spain as con-
ncctod with the great question which for the
last II months has occupied the attention of
Europe, and which promises TO agitatc it for
Il long time to come. The condition OH which,
according to the opinion Of some persons of
authority in that country, the Spanish Gov
crimcnt might declare It's sympathy, and per-
haps give its co operation to the Western
Powers, is one which would not fail to add
ether and serious complications to those which
already cXiSt-namcy, that F,aacc o;M Eng
irad shouW guarantee The security Of C"ba o.
aGitH the attacks Of imeficGa cdrcat'rers.
Whether any formal propositions have been
made to that effect, or whether the English or
French Government has been ''soundcd' on
The question, I am not aware. At all events,
private letters of the 30th, from Madrid, as
S"rc me that The Spanish Government hcre de-
c'arca That they nW maintain the sirjcfest neu-
hMiy."
If the writer's information is correct the
declaration that Spain will maintain thcstrict-
est neutrality indicates that the guarantee
which was to be the price of her cooperation
has been withheld by France and England.
