The Madrid correspondent of the LONDON
Times. under date of May 20. asserts very
positively that the interviews between "i
Soule and two Of the Spanish Ministers hao
not resulted in a satisfactory settlement OF
the Black Warrior affair. He says;

The ministers then tried to persuade him that NJ

him of sharp practice and hostile disposition in the

The correspondent proceeds to condemn
the course of Spain in very strong terms,
both in the double dealing of her Ministers
and her delay in settling an affair which he
believes any other country might have long
since settled He adds that pretty strong
inference that the dispute had not been set
