steps towards the settlement OF the Spanish question:
the reason Of which to be that they are afraid OF

Tucker wrote TO this government, when he sent his
resignation that Chile acting bad faith and would
break the alliance and make peace with Spain.
Senator made statement this Congress- the
18th inst the effect that Chile had made separate
treaty with SPAIN and through the efforts Of the French
and Englshsnisters had accepted the indefinite truce
Moreover she had presented bill to Peru for eight hun
dred thousand hard dollars to pay the expenses OF the
Peruvian feet This direct violation OF the treaty
OF alliance which states that the country in whose
waters the allied feet may be shall pay all the expenses
OF the while there. He therefore proposed that
a preliminary measure towards the settlement Of the
claim the Peruvian feet should be ordered to Caao at

effect that Congress should suspend all negotiations with
neutral Powers in regard TO the Spanish question, and
that committee should DO appointed to look into and

matter with SPAIN IL It be done without any injury
TO the national honor.
Fears are entertained that the Spanish qucs-

spoil all business here. II could not last long, however
