SpArN w. THE UNITED SFsTEs.~ Under date ns
tie 26th the Washington correspondent NJ the
New York Herald writes
Important intelligence was received here this
morning, brought by the last mail from Europe,
from Madrid, TO gentleman in this city. and has
been laid before the Government. In order that It
ma Y understand what is now going on in Spain IN
reference 70 Mexico and Cuba. The writer says
that 4 document HAS iust been published hy order
Of the Government, having fer IL Rass the Mexiean
question: which is so mixed up with tns sdUsssssss9Q
of Cuba, that if the Church party cannot drive
Juarez out OF Vera Cruz It Is necessary the Span
iards should do so, for If not the Island Of Cuba
will run great risk. The document further says
the absorption of certain territory Of Mexico by
the Yankees under the MeLane treaty will, in its
consequences, lead u the taking a the Island Of
Cuba. The glories OF Morocco, says the writer,
have elevated these people to the clouds, and with
this belief they think they carry their triunphs
into Mexico. 1t is already q thing resolved upon,
and all the resources OF the Government are ready
to take the eonquerors to the plains of Mexico.
Tho orders to the navy have been sent to Gnba to
hold itself in readiness at moments warming.
Already The American Government has received 4
strong note protesting ngainst the insults to their
flag at Anton Lizardo. The idea of obtaining sat
isfaction from both Mexico and the United States
is generally approved Of, and no doubt you will see
active movements going on in Cuba to effect this
object. The Government intends to keep yigi-
liant eye in regard to the operations Of Spain, and
| that she does not interpose in Mexican afaifs.
