From what Team learn the instruc-
lions to Mr.. Soule contemplate COM
mendable, though somewhat tardy
determination of the President, to
put an end to the outrages sustained
by our citizens at the hands of Gu
ban authorities. Mr.. Soule I am sat
is6ed, is instructed to demand instant
and ample reparation for the outrage
in the case of the Black Warrior.
He will refuse to await his answer
until Spain shall have had opportuni-
ty to communicate with Havana
Spain will not be allowed to tempo
rize as heretofore until public interest
has died away, and our Government
and people sicken Of the effort to OBJ
tain rendrcss. He will also-in Or
der to remove as far as possible the
probability Of future outragcs at Ha-
vana-insist that the Captain Gener-
al, or some other Spanish agent in
CUBA, shall be clothed with diplomat
ic powers, SO that we may open diplo-
matte relations direct with the island,
and be saved the necessity of refer
ring the outragcs committed in one
hemisphere for settlement. If these
reasonable demands are not instantly
complied with, the President is COM
mitted to the exercise of whatever
power Congress may place in his
hands to take by force an amount of
indemnity deemed proper" " !
