Tho london times on the Condition
OF spain.
LONDON, Sept. Is.
The Times calls TO mind that the
1rst anniversary OF the revolution In
Spain has passed and none OF the evils
laid 10 the charge OF the BourbonH
have diminished but rather increased.
There Is greater distress and confusion
mud less concord, efficiency and public
security. The policy OF the govern
ment In the Provinces Is reviewed and
It's action there contrasted with It's
action In Madrid. The Times acknowl-
edges that all IL dOue for the best, but
the conflicting views and dlverging
tendencies Of some members OF the
government produce helpless and
improvldeuce among them. There Is
hardly ruling man in the whole gov
ernment, but such as they are Spain
must accept them. The country has no
better and must make the best Of them.

Comments OF the London Press ON
EpdmiSh Nud American Relations.
LONDON, Sept. IS.
The Duly NelVS says that the question
TO IN improved understanding between
Spain and the United States remains
uusolved. While the latter Is impatient
OF the delay tor war, she Is sending
ArnAnents that may preclnitate u con.
tlict. The Spanish eXChequer Is vIriu-
ally empty, and temporary loans are
resorLed 10 ut increasingly ouerous
terms.
The Spectator says that wsr between
Spain aud the United States, on account
OF Cuba, appears like u moral impossi.
bilIty. 1t IL universally believed Just
now In Spain that the war enthusiasm
there is gathering fast. Minister Sick
les' proposition Is inconsistent with the
precedent furnished by the United
STATES In 1861, With Spanish pride and
American SympathleS the situation Ia
very critical. Il Ia difficult y believe
that Spain, wi b Il divided people, q
bankrupt treasury, one colony In re.
volt. others to loss, nothing to win, can
seriously contemplate war with one Of
the greatest powers on esrth.
The Saturday RevieU holds that II
the proposal OF General Sick les Is accu-
rately reported, there Is no ground for
complaint against America for making
an oher to Spuin, In the character OF a
disinterested mediator. II Is possible
that some Of those people In Spain who
urge the sending Of reinEorcemeuts to
Cuba desire the absence OF the army.
With military force can the Regent
retain the power Of the COrtes against
The Republicans and CArlists? The
friends OF Isabella might be formidable
In the absence OF the army. The Gov
ernment must see that to sacrifice tho
army, Will not save Cuba. Abiding to
the desire OF the Americans 10 possess
Cuba, tho writer thiGks the arguments
Of Mr.. Buchanan In favor OF annexa-
tion must be more agreeable to their
ears now that slavery has been sup.
pressed; bat whether Il Is their true
interest TO include an alien or an un-
congenial population In the Union, Is
II question for future history.
