WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-It not until this
evening that the difficulty between Senators Fitch
and Douglas was definitely settled. 1t has at
length, however, been arranged and the corre-
spondence will be published in the Union to-nor-
row. The second note of Mr. Fitch, which was
written last night, not considered to be salts
factory by the friends of Mr.. Douglas, as the re-
fractions contained in it were wholly hypothetical.
Under these circumstances, Mr.. Douglas addressed
third note to Mr.. Fitch, saying, in substance
"l on appear to have misunderstood my last letter
to you, and the motives which dictated it, and to
have based your retractions upon my explanations.
| did not design to make those explanations with
any such view" Mr.. Fitch replied by stating that
che had based his retractons on the explanations
offered by Mr. Douglas, and if the latter withdrew
his explanations, he (Fitch) withdrew his retrac-
tions." Mr.. Douglas reoined by saying, that Gas
he had obtained, substantially, what he desired
the withdrawal of the personal reflections upon
himself-he satisfied. Roger A.Pryor ofici-
ated the friend of Mr.. Douglas, and Senator
Benjamin as the friend of Mr.. Fitch.

him in Fridays debate, in secret session, and Mr.
Fitch in the course of his reply, said that far
nois appointments, Mr.. Douglas explanation was
satisfactory, but th at he (Mr. Ftch) did not with
draw his offensive remarks.
Mr.. Douglas second note affirmed what he had
said in the Senate and afforded Mr.. Fitch another
opportunity to withdraw. In reply, Mr.. Fitch
withdrew the offensive language.based on what he
assumed to be Mr.. Douglas explanation. This
withdrawal Mr.. Douglas accepted, repeating that
he had said nothing in his correspondence which he
had not said in the Senate To this note Mr. Fitch
replied, but the report does not the substance
Of his note. The probability is that the entire
matter ends with this correspondence, there ap-
pears to be no ground for further proceeding.
Messrs. Pryor and Hawkins, of Kentucky, were
the friends of Mr. Douglas, and Mr.. Benjamin the
friend of Mr.. Fitch.

of the Island of Cuba, to be used BY the President

In their report, that they hope that circumstances
may never occur rendering it incumbent with the
United States under the imperative and overrung
law OF self-preservation to take possession of the
Island without the concurrence of SPAIN but if they
should, summary measures could be much more
easily justified if we prepared to show that we
have exhausted honorable negotiation in attempts
to arrest the necessity and had offered to Spain an
equivalent exchange for it, such offer ight be
necessary to the complete vindicaton of this gov
ernment hereafter, we ought not to be deferred
from making it by any supposed unwillingness on
the part of Spain to accept it, even to entertain
it in an amicable spirit.
