LiTe.--Spain Excited About Cuba.
LONDON, December 1.-THE death
of the Prince of Wales is expected
every moment. The royal family
and others have given up all hopes.
NEW York, December ia spe-
cial dispatch from London says that
tremendous excitement prevailed in
Madrid upon the receipt of President
Grants message relating to the Cuban
difficulty. The government has re-
solved to maintain n firm attitude.
A reinforcement Of 1000 men, two
generals and four iron-clads will be
Immediately dispatched to Cuba.
A sensation was created in Berlin
by the Cars speech at G~eorgenpest,
which is regarded as an end to French
hopes and a guarantee of peace in
Europe.
A special dispatch from London
says that the question of the alleged
violation of neutrality by the United
States in regard to Cuba was discussed
by the Council at Madrid on the 9Th
instant. AS a result of the consulta-
ton, dispatches were sent to the
Spanish Minister at Washington
which are said to contain important
instructions respecting the attitude of
the United States toward Spain in re-
latiOn TO Cuba. The course of the
American government Is likely to
affect the Alabama claims in the &C.
neva Conference by furnishing pre-
cendents in favor of the British gov
ernnent in the cases of the Hornet,
IT1nwfln aud nAhar nrfrrafaaru nfu-
patches on the subjects of the Geneva
Conference have also passed between
the Cabinets of Madrid and Florence
and Great Britain.
Dispatches from London this morn
ing represent that the Prince of
Wales is no better.
LoNEON, December lin view of
the imminent death of the Prince, the
difficulties which in that event will
arise regarding the succession are
widely discussed IN political circles.
The rumor current some time ago to
the effect that the Queen meditated
~abdication. is renewed, and a prospee-.
tive change in the head of the govern
ment is c~anvassed everywhere. In
the event of the Queens abdication
and the Princes death, q regent will
probably be appointed until the heir,
Albert Victor, the Princes son, eight
years old, attains his majority. The
choice for regent would be between
the Duke of Edinburgh, the Princes
brother, and the Duke of Cambridge,
the Queens cousin. The Duke of
Edinburgh is very popular with the
masses, but the probabilities would

who would receive the support of a
majority of the nobility, and doubt
less be selected by Parliament in con-
sequence Of his age and superior
experience.
These and similar topics agitated
the city, and a political crisis is ex-
pected to follow the Princes death,
whichis looked for with increasing
interest.
SANDRINGHAM, December, noon
The Prince is IN the same precarious
condition, and the symptoms are I'M
altered. Since the last bulletin was
received the telegraph linet to Sandrig-
ham has been closed to the general
public, because the wire was burthen-
ed with messages to the Queen from
charlatans, quacks and officious per-
sons rendering medical ADVICE.
LONDON, December 12-3 P. Am
unofficial telegram, dated Sandring-
ham, l P. NJ, saysit is evident from
the distress that prevails there that
the last hours of the Prince are. APP
preaching. The whole household
has been thrown into the deepest
gloom by the words of a special mes
senger who left the sick chamber
shortly after noon with dispatches for
London. He declared unreservedly
that he did not expect TO find His
Royal Highness living when he re-
turned. It's evident that all hope is
abandoned. -
Prayers for the recovery of the
Prince were yesterday offered in
the Angelica and Roman Catholic
churches and in the Jewish syna-
gogue and Dissenting chapels. There
is a profound and widespread feeling
of grief and uneasiness. Business is
almost wholly suspended throughout
the country. The morning and eve
ming papers issue extra editions every
hour. The official bulletins are sur
rounded by great crowds of GnKious
but silent people. 3.
3P. Mt isreported that, with one
exception, the Prince has been I'M
conscious since the first of the month.
