the Spanish Govcrnment-The Monroe
Doctrine.
The present rupture between Spain and
Chile results from course of proceedings on
the part of the Spanish government which can
excite only the condemnation Of the civilized
world. The essential facts in the case may be
briefly stated. On the 18th Of May last the
Spanish Minister at Chile, Salvador de Tavira,
addressed strong remonsrance to the govern
ment Of the republic, embracing among others
these specifications Of offence, viz:-That GER
tain popular affronts to the Spanish flag in
Chile were winked at by the local authorities,
military and civil; that they did not endeavor
to restrain these offensive manifestations within
the limits Of the law; that In the late quarrel
between Spain and Peru the Chileans furnished
coal to the Peruvians, but denied it TO Spain, as
contraband of war, and did various other
things offensive to Spain. For these offences
the Spanish Minister announced that he was
"willing to receive the solemn declarations
which the case demands" and they were ac-
cordingly given in an ample explanation and
apology from the Chilean government.
In reply to this letter the Spanish Minister
said "The sentiments which have actuated your
government amid the unpleasant events which
have occurred, and the full explanations
which you have been pleased to give me on
the eleven points on which Spain considered
herself offended by Chile, dissipate, in my
judgment, all the motives for complaint which
my government entertained, and will contri-
butte, as hope, to draw closer the relations be-
tween the two countries" and thus II was natu-
rally supposed by Chile this business was
definitely settled. But the wise and con-
ciliatory course Of Mr.. Tavira was rejected by
the Spanish Cabinet, and he was recalled in
disgrace, instead Of being complimented for
what he had done.
