TIE BLACK WARRIOR CAsR-THE ORGAN TOO PAST
CURIOUS AND INTERESTING FACTS IN THE CABE--
THE PRESIDENT GETTING sPUNKY.
WASHINGTON, March %, 1896.
The report circulated by the Union that the Spanish
government had acquiesced in demands in the case
Of the Black WARRIOR and which were refused under the
late Madrid administration is almost In every particular
destitute Of truth.
The principal ground rfor the Unioas authority Us
confined to article printed in Gaignans Messenger,
France, and furnished majority Of that papers
respondence is from Madrid, and for some time has
been, by an attache Of the English embassy at that
city. The impression, however, which the Union is de-
airous of creating that his information through
the Secretary Of State which, Mr.. Marcy's word 10 to
be relied upon, authorized by him for publ
cation the statement being without foundation in fact
might as well report here that between the Fornsy
dtor and Secretary Marcy there does exist any in
tlmacy and whatever passes between the two parties
narrowed down to business language the Governor,
at no time, has entertained favorable opinions Of the
EDITORS political honesty.
The despatch received by the State Department. since
the return of Mr. Soule from the Spanish court pro.
perly appreciated, and the complimentary and
ing sentiments that it conveys, not however, suf
GENTLY satisfactory to any lu in the energy for
general redress which has late characterized the action
OF government.
The Spanish Minister informs Secretary Of State
that the subject Of the Black Warrior has Of late attract
ed to 1t the attention of Her Catholic Maesty's Minis
tiers, and that q conclusion has been arrived at that
injury has been sustained BY the complaining
ties which 1t Ia the wish of the to redress
This the substance OF the despatch received, and
which Mr. Forney would have the country believe to be
settlement Of that long vexed question. The language
that the "subject-speaking Of the Black warrorhas
Of late attracted to 1t the attention Of her NJ Minis
ter" felt intending to convey to government
the designed intention Of the Spanish Ministry to do
nothing in the way Of the United States numerous com
plants long Mr. Soule remained Minister at the
Court of Madrid but that he Ia out Of the way,
they, the Ministry, are prepared to negotiate.
This recent paper from Madrid it win be perceived,
does not the amount 1t has decided upon In the
Black Warrior case, which, Of course ID to be detsrmn
ed by further negotiations between the two govern
ments, in the event Of the United States being weak
enough to fall INTO the snare but not word or hint Ia
given that in this outrage upon American vessel
national reputation has been made to suffer- that
any apology for the commtsl Of the 10 to be
pscted from H. c. Msesys Ministers. The fetal silence
80 unmistakedly plain in this omission has, If any
thing increased the unfendly feeling toward Spain ON
the part Of our government and particularly
aimee the assault upon the Ell Dorado has been made
In the latter case serious pecuuiary injury has been
sustained and In national point OF view the insult TO
flag does not equal in extent that committed upon
the Black Warrior The conclusion Ia evident, If the
national feeling in the Black Warrior case has been
deemed unworthy Of Spanish notice. what the Presi-
dent to expect from any appeals TO that
redress for injuries done to the Fl Dorado
You will have learned from my last despatch that the
President has no intention of making any appeals TO
home government in the Of the late outrage, but
that he has demanded Of Gen. Concha immediate salts
faction The despatch containing these demands is nov
on ts way, by special agent to naval commander in
the South America seas and after delivery TO that officer
he viii proceed with 1t TO Cuba with all the available
American vessels Of that be found on that sta
ton. Thus much is known, and the remainder win have
to remain secret for few days. There is to be no
longer tolerated the triang policy manifested by Spain
in s relations with the United States and this win be
clearly shown in the case Of the Fl Dorado
