/ SPAIN. +
! With Spain peaceful relations are still
maintained, and some progress has been
made in securing the redress of the wrongs
complained of by this government. Spain
has not only disavowed and disapproved the
conduct of the officers who illegally seized
| and detained the Black Warrior az Havana,
but has also paid the sum claimed as indem-

which visited Cuba in 1874, the supreme
authority Of that island issued decree per
mitting the importation, for the period of siz
months of certain building materials and
provisions free of duty, but revoked it when
! about half the period only had elapsed, to
the injury of the citizens of the United
States, who had proceeded to act on the
faith of that decree. The Spanish Govern
ment refused indemnifeation to parties
agrievel until recently, when it was assen-
ted to, payment being promised to be made
as soon as the amount due can be ascer-
tanned. .,.. ss.-..s

E CENTRAL AMERICA. PIG
In regard to the American Republics
, which from their proximity and other con
, siderations, have peculiar relations to thi
, government, while it has been my constan
aim, strictly to observe all the obligations 0
political friendship and Of good neighbor
sihood, obstacles to this have arisen in som,
of them, from their own insufficient powe
to check lawless irruptions, which, in effect
: throws most of the task onthe UnitedStates
; Thus it is, that the distracted internal con
condition of the State Of Nicaragua ha
made it incumbent on me to appeal to tn
GOOD faith of our citizens to abstain from
: unlawful Intervention N its affairs, and +
adopt preventive measures to the same end
