WATERS OF GENERAL INTEREST.

Our Spanish Relations seem to be a
GOOD deal complicated. So far as any
trouble growing out OF the Cuban ques-
lion is concerned, it seems likely to be
aver,ed it being stated that the loyal
authorities, at Havana, have agreed to
release all American citizens, proved
70 be such, now held 10 arrest. II is
also averred that the Mary Lowell mat
lie. is to be satisfactorily adjusted
With regard to our representation at
Madrid, however, things are all in
muddle. The American Secretary of
Legation ct the Spanish Court has come
out and denounced Minister John p.
Hale as q viola,or of The customs,
amenities and laws imposed upon Am
bsssadors in having been engaged in
trade, 10 contravention of precedents
and enactments. Although these
charges seem to be well sustained, and
notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Hale
came to be repudiated by the people of
New Hampshire for being guilty of GER
tain pecula;ions daring the war, the
Senate has refused to confirm Mr.. San
born, the person selected by Grant as
Hale's successor. and so the matter goes
over. Ii is stated that the reason which
actuated the Senate in dealing with this
business in the manner indicated is a
disposition. to give an e1 Senator
chance to clear himself of the onn. of
grave charges. Ia the meantime Hale
has resigned, we are told and San
horn not being confirmed, Grant, in
order that there may not be An inter
regnum at Madrid, will appoint Sehenck
Of Ohio, to ell ;be vacancy.
The war in Cuba seems to dsvelope
nothing decisive as yet. According to
the latest rumors the insurgents are
holding their own, although there have
lately arrived large reinforcements to
the government party from old Spain.
The sensationists of the New York
aud Chicago press are amusing them
selves and trying to startle the public

met. According to the poets of Bo
hernia the State Department, the Navy
Department, the Attorney Generalship
and the P. o. Department are to be
speedily vacated. Per contra, some
specials TO certain other papers deny
cas- by authority that there are to be
any changes. This is all talk for the
rake of talking aud reminds one of
that wise saw That "talk's talk but
it takes money to buy land"
Bunsby is kind enough to give us his
opinion with regard to the English
Question. He says that Thornton has
not received dispatch from home since
Summers speech and the rejection of
,he Alabama Treaty. He also says
that English newspapers are not to be
believed (Which is true, likely enough;)
and he goes on further TO state that Mr..
Thornton has let the cat out of the bag,
in confidential way. that if the Yam
KEGS want any mors negotiating upon
the Alabama question they must do the
first talking. Meantime Motley is off
