The SPANISH GuNBoAr QUEsrIoN.-The Washing.
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, IN
der date of the 23d ultimo writes as follows:
The Spanish gunboat question is considerably mixed
so far as reports conflicting and inconsistent can effect
such result. Out of all this mudde there can be OBJ
tanned but little that is reliable, and this is briefly that
the administration intends postpone positive de-
termination of the claim of Spain for the release of
the vessels until the subject can in some way be passed
upon by Congress- To this end the institution of suits
in the United States Courts is advised, upon bels
based upon information that the gunboats are to be
used against power f,'ople with whom the United
States are at peace 1t is believed here that these suits
will be founded upon the charge that the vessels
to be used against Peru To test this udically will
in the ordinary course of litigation, require several
weeks and, If cleverly managed, months may elapse
before decision is reached Meantime, Congress will
probably have given expression in such form in
dictate to the administration whether the vessels should
be released not As the case stands it is gem
orally admitted that there no strict legal grounds
for OBTAINING the gunboats; but in view of the uni
We rss sentiments of the citizens of the United States
in sympathy with the Cuban cause the semblance of
legal right to seize and hold the vessels will suffice as
an excuse for their detention until expression shall
come from Congress
