were, a month or two ago, "iast for
Cuban recognition. IL is ulso well

Cuban aid was given the cold shout

This was considered rather mysteri.
ous but when the Spanish gunboais
were allowed TO leave the harbOr OF
New York, it was quite evident that
"lho government was not only no
longer favorable 10 Cuba, bnt, more
than this, was heart and soul with
Spain in crushing out the attempts Of
the Gem of tho Sea to throw of the
allegiance. But the mystery of the

another phase of the political moral.

pendencyj aud this has evidently
been done-for price.
Mr.. Sidney Webster, a son.in.law Of
Secretary Fish, has, for some time,
been acting as attorney for the Span
ish government ia this country. In
the late Spanish gunboat affair, Mr..
Webster was active in procuring
their release, and has been paid re-
tanning fees to the extent OF $4,000
by the Spanish minister at Washing
ton. The very large sum, the made.
quate services performed, the relation
Of Mr.. Webster TO the Secretary of
State, the ability OF the Secretary TO
aid Spain in preserving Cuba, explains
the sudden veering of the government
on Cuban affairs, and accounts for
that "milk" in the political coc,a.nui.
