Spanish Views OF tho Cuban Question.
The letter Of our Madrid correspondent pub.
lished in yesterdays HERALD gives a very
lucid exposition OF the feeling In Spain In
regard to the revolution In Cuba and the
sympathies In this country for the republican
cause there, and shows how completely igno-
rant are the people, and even the press, In
the Antilles. They are led 10 believe that the
revolution is dying out Through powerful
repressive measures and its own exhaustion"
and that the Glibustering operations of this
country are the only support Of the present
movements In the island. They moreover
ostentatiously claim that Spain was strictly
neutral in our recent war, giving the United
States ships perhaps little advantage over
the rebel cruisers; In return for which they
demand that We shall not be neutral In the
present contest, but shall side entirely with
Spain against her rebellious subjects. As
evidence Of their fairness it Is asserted that
''therc are very fsw Spaniards who do not see
that Cuba must eventually fall into the hands
of the United States, but that they would like
to sec this result attained In fair, natural aud
honorable way; and then the following extra
ordinary proposition Is set forth :"If tho
people of Cuba could vote In a fair, untram-
melled way on the question Of separation from
Spain, and the majority Of the votes should DO
in favor of that act, it is certain that no great
number OF Spaniards would favor their reten-
ton under the Spanish dominion by force.
They would regret tho loss Of the poarl Of
the Antilles, but they would not spend q
dollar or risk life to prevent It's consumma-
tion II legitimately carried out; oaly they
would demand reimbursement for oil the
money spent by Spain in great public works In
Cuba--a proposition fair and just The deter
mination Of The Spanish people TO spend their
last dollar and send their .ast man to put
down the revolution Is set forth In true Arte-
mus Ward style, and the whole is capped by
an ntimation that "some questions will be
asked, not only by Spain, but by several great
Powers, az to the intentions of the United
States government
We recognize in these points n very correct
exposition Of the views and arguments Of the
Spanish press and Of tho people Of Spain In tho
present questions relating to Cuba; bus
they are founded In the grossest ignorance

The Latest Developments In the Twitcbcli
Case.


We publish to-day a batch OF confessions,
semi confessions, letters notes, entresties, ex-
hortations, statements, and 80 on, purporting
TO be the production of the brain of the mur-
derer and suicide Twitchell, and written TO his
wife. The budget is promised by a statement
purporting TO be written by Mrs. Twitchell
herself but IL bears tho marks of q masculine
If not o shrewd attorneys hand. Mrs.
Twitchell, Of course, denies all knowledge Of
her husbands crime, and declares that she
knew not her mother was dead until she saw
her ''hying on the settcc In the kitchen dead
woman" This whole affair from beginning TO
end-from the murder itself on through the
ordeal OF the trial, the conviction Of Twitcbell,
the efforts to obtain his reprleve from the Gov
ernor of tho State, tho novel application to
the United States Supreme Court TO set aside
the verdict, tho declaration OF Twitchell's
spiritual adviser that be believed him to be in-
noccnt Of the crime, the incoherent statement
OF Twitohell accusing his vile OF the murder
of her mother, the suicide OF Twitchell,

New YORK AND THE FISH BUSINESS. Tho

revive not only all the old fisheries of that

wherever the least advantage for pisciculture
Is afforded" The biggest Fish operation New
York has lately entered into was in having
Hamilton Fish made Secretary Of State. That
was q bad piscatorial failure.

The text Of the now constitution Of Spain.
drafted by committee Of the Cortes dotted
by universal suffrage, which was preseatea 10
ultimO, is published in erseaaso in our collmns
today The document Is lengthy, verbtse
and rathar pointless in detail, but Affords NOT
withstandpg, abundant evidence Of the
struggle which is being maintained betweeA
the exclusiveosss and intolerance of the native
principle Of civh and religious liberty in the
surrounding countries, and hence may be re-
garded as an ungraceful attempt to accOmmo-
date Spanish ideas and the old style system to
the new order of governmental rule and pppu-
lar enlightenment which surround the ancient
aristo- democracy on all sides. The constitu-
tion provides that the monarchical form Of
government shall be maintained, the person OF
the king being inviolable, the royalty beredi-
sary, the sovereign being either male or female
In the order of primogeniture; the national
religion to be Catholic, with federation Of
other forms and liberty to natives to change
their religion. The personal liberty Of the
inhabitants Is guaranteed, and no armed body
is to be maintained without the sanction of the
Cortes; the Cortes to consist Of two houses,
the duties and rights Of members being defined
by new parliamentary franchise.
The Cortes will debate the question of ths
adoption or rejection Of the paper. Should
it be adopted it will mark, to say the least
step In advance for Spain in the path Of oon-
stitutional liberty. Cuba, Porto Rico and The
Philippine Islands are to share the provisions
of the new charter and send representatives to
the Cortes-that is provided the new consti-
tuition has not been obliterated by revolution
previous to their arrival in Madrid.

The Union Pacino Railroad War.

Another rich placer has inst been discovered
in connection with the Union Pacific Railroad
suits, which promises a further accession Of
wealth to the lawyers and agreeable
pastime to the Supreme Court and the
Judges thereof The receiver of the court in
the case Of Fisk, Jr., vs.. The Company, Mr..
VIM. M. Tweed, Jr., alleges that there are In
the vaults OF the Corn Exchange Bank of this
city five millions Of dollars to the credit Of
Henry G. Crane, but which rlghtfully belongs
TO the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The
report Of this discovery no sooner reaches the
ears Of the redoubtable raider Fisk than he
lays sovereign claim to the whole deposit,
hurries into conrt demands an injunction
on the dollars, and moves that an examination
of his claim be submitted to Q referee to be
appointed by the court Mr.. Crane and the
Coru Exchange Bank resist this new assault Of
Prince Erie, but to no avail. Judge Barnard,
after spicy set-to between counsel, ordered
the case before a referee, and by and by, after
little skirmishing, we shall see deadly
hand to hand encounter in the Supreme Court
over these newly discovered five millions.
