SPAIN AND RnEXHC9s 49, 4
1.-THE news whichiha lately. reached
us from Havana, Vera Cruz and other
sources, would seem to Indicate that
something serious is really pending be-
tween Spain and Mexico; something
that may soon lead to open hostlnsles
between the two countries. FROM
Washington, also, it is reported to US
on the best authority that the Spanish
Minister, Tassara, during MaJoHa Az
carraga's visit there. waited upon Gems
Cass and assured him that unless the
demands recently made at the city fof.
Mexico and Vera Cruz. were iuIn edlate-
| ly complied with, the Governments will
be compelled to resort to arms to en-
force them. -
.sThe first and foremost difficulty
with Mexico is with what is called the
Constitutional Government OF Juarez,
Located at Vera Cruz. This grows out
of the capture of the Spanish bark,
.da1ia Conception, as part OF the
Marin expedition last winter, for the re-
turn Of which, without turther aoJu
alton, a peremntary demand was made.
This demand we hardly need say yya va;
not respected the civil suit went On
and now comes to US the news thatf
!, decision adverse to the Spafis h.claIn
has been rendered, and that the decl-
sion has been confirmed by the Constr
, tutional Government. =
+" The difficulty with the other GOV
ernment, located at the city of Mexico
grows out of the reclamations for thu
yiolences committed some two years
ago, at Cuernavaca, andthe long unpal'
