HAaEnrY, THE rEN1AN CONSULT


EUROPE.
HAGERTY THE FENIAN CONSULT
LONDON, August 10.-The' London Evening
Telegraph (LiberaD yesterday contained an
editorial on the cAse of Hagerty, who was ap-
pointed American Consul at Glasgow. The
writer. after paying highstribute to the uni
form good faith Of the American Executive, so
far as Fenianism is concerned, justifes the re-
IusaI OF tne British Government 10 grant an
exequatOr, and says President Grant had no
notion OF the record Of Hagerty, and underthe
circumstances. the government had no option
sSut to refuse to acknowledge him. and the JUS
tice Of the refusal would, doubtless, be recog-
nized at Washington.
THE '' TI1dEs " ON SPAIN AND CUBA.
LONDON, August 1O.-The Times. on the rela-
tions between Spain and Cuba, says: ''BetHeen
the military punctilio Of the former, and the
patriotic fanatc,sm OF the latter, the interests
OF both are likely to suffer, especially when the
questions at issue should be brought under the
control OF sound reason, and their discussion
kept free from impulse and passion. IF it
oan be proved that the separation OF
the colony from the mother country is una
voidable. and not remote contingency,
it seems the height of madness to carry
on hostilities frarght with ruin to either
side." After reviewing the revolution in Spain,
the writer continues: "Improvident and help
less as Marshal Prim may be, it can be safely
proclaimed that he is the bsst Spain could
have under present circumstances, and the
chances Of Improvement lie IN his power of
directing it's energies to domestic organiza-
tion and reform, undisturbed by foreign or
colonial complications. Strip. government of
it's beat troops for distant expeditions; drain
the resources of the country for an interne-
cine struggle with kindred race; then tell us
whether any amount of genius, character, or
good will, can raise members of ofgovernment to
o level with the difficulties Of the situation"
After inquiring into the causes Of the rising
in Cuba, the Times says: 1.-THE most fanatical
Of the Opposition are vol aware that Spain can
only temporarily crush the rebellious spirit in
the colony. We're Spain quit of the colony
without compensation, thanksgiving for the
happy riddance might well be sung throughout
the Peninsula; but if a, large sum Of money Is
received into the bargain, the Spaniards cannot
be too thankful. The last French campaign in
Mexico ought to have made it manifest that
there is neither honor nor profit to gain for the
powers Of the old continent by meddling with
the affairs Of the new"
PARIS August 10-The Paris Patrie says
large bands, composed of officers, soldiers and
members Of the clerical party, have assembled
in the northern districts Of Spain, we'll armei
and organized. It is reported that a great
Carlist demonstration has been fixed for the
18th instant.
BARON Won BEUsT AND PRUSSIA.
VIENNA. August 1O.-Baron Won Beust, in
his speech before the delegates yesterday, de-
tended the publication Of the Blue Book and all
il contained. Its discussion. he argued would
remove misapprehenslon, and not create dis
quietude.
He contradlcted the assestion that he had
sinterfered in the affairs of the German States,
or exercised any pressure to form South
German Confederation. He reiterated the
previous assertion that no alliance existed
between Austria and any European Power
put added, in France we have good friend.
1T is questionable If Germany could help us.
pErance has always shown friendship, and sim
Serely entertains kindly feelings for all tue peo-
kie OF A-stria. In conclusion, the Premier
ystated that most OF the dlsagreements with
Prussia we're through the publication OF the
Red Book, and in justice TO Werther he was
bound to bear testimony that he offered no
impediment to better relations. The policy
Of Austria was one Of domestic, not foreign
alliances.
PARIS, August 10.-It is generally under
stood here that Baron Won Beust. in allud-
ing so pointedly to the sincere friendship of
France, desired to convey the Impression that
he did not consider Prussia sincere friend. 4
