Important from Washington
OUR LATE SPANISH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF THE
ADMINISTRATION TO TELL THE TRUTH.
WASHINGTON, March !, 1885,
The President stn withhods from Congress the nfor
nation called for relative to the proceedings Of the o.
tend Convention The proprety of acquiescng to the
demand meets with Marcys dlsapprovai as also with
the opposition of several Of the prominent Of
Senator's Possibly reply may be sent in but none of
the information called for in the resolution win come be-
fore the House. 1t will surprise you to learn that the
Spanish embassy in this city is secretly at work with
members Of both houses to defeat the intentions Of the
President in this matter He has the best of for
taking this step the certainty, If successful tina! it,
publicity must rebound to the benefit of the Spanish
government and to the injury of the United States.
In the controversy thus far upon this subject
Spain is in the right and the publicity of the
correspondence between country and Spain
would draw towards the latter power even the
sympathies Of the American people. The allies,
England and France, have had submitted to their
examination the entire question as it now stands,
by span and the action of this government has been
governed wholly by the decisions of those two Powers
If the English Minister in this city is not as busy in the
matter is his colleague for Spain, it is only from the
fear that he may meet with detection and be exposed to
the jealousies of our people.
have already informed you that the late Spanish ad
minstration urged upon government final settle
OF the embarrassing questions existing between
and themselves, which our government refused can
inform you that the conditions offered by Spain,
those negotiated for under the Polk ration,
but which the Pierce administration would not listen to-
being ,rthy the American character. The least
well disposed concession by government, sas
sador at Sp sn in addition to the terms offered by Pres
dent Polk, not only expected but hereafter may
be shown the Spanish had prepared itself to
accede to the wishes of the United States England and
France advised the sale Of Cuba and
Spanish pride opposed the STEP it conceded to- and
government notified of the result. The unfortunate
that subsequently took place between
the President and Mr. Soule and between the latter per
and Gov Marcy have produced results that will add
additional dscreot to the United States should they
appear in official form before the public 1t
worth the loss of Cuba to SPAIN far England and
France interested to have placed before the world
specimen Of American diplomacy and honesty, the
tire correspondence upon the Cuba difficulties Its pub
LEGATION would sink the American character still lower
and render Gen. Perce's administration a thing to DO
talked of among the greatest evils that befe the
United States.
wish you to give full confidence to these statements
which design more fully to confr hereafter.
