4 Eanauet In LOnd0n-A Speech by
Minister SeheMck.


LONDON, July l5.-Schenck attended
last evening the annual banquet OF the
merchants and tailors OF London. In
responding to the toast in honor Of the
United States, he said that the Treaty
of Washington had been very much
criticised in England as well as in his
own country, but both sides were con-
tent to accept it as a wise termination
Of what had seemed likely to be an
endless difficulty. Schenck alluded to
the kind manner in which he had been
received by all classes OF society in
England, and expressed the belief that
the present era OF good feeling between
the two nations would be lasting one.
He concluded by the declaration that
an alliance between the United States
and England would be irresistible.
The Spanish Cortes.
MADRID, July l5.-The Cortes has
approved, without discussion or amend
ment, the bill providing for the con
tinuation OF the tobacco monopoly in
the hands OF the Government.
New YORK, July ia dispatch
from London says: There was stormy
debate on Cuba in the Spanish Cortes
on July 10Th A motion to censure the
Government called forth savage speeches
on both sides. A terrible excitement
prevailed, and the Government was
afraid to face the vote, and explained
its conduct on the ground that it could
not extend to the provinces the laws
made since the revolution, nor abolish
slavery until the insurrection was sup
pressed. The Government requested
the withdrawal OF the motion. This
was consented to, but the resolution
was presented again by another mem
her of the opposition. The debate
lasted all night, and resulted in gen
eral concurrence in the necessity OF
crushing the insurrection forthwith, and
a proposition was made to send thirty
thousand men to Cuba.
New YORK, July l6.-The following
dispatch has been received from the
Herald correspondent at the capital OF
Spain:
MADRID July 15.-In spite OF the
oppressive heat the Cortes has been en-
gaged for the last two days in exciting
and fruitless debates on the provincial
policy of the Government. NJ. Castll-
lar, the leader of the Republican party,
attacked the ministry vehemently. lie
said that the Government had not ful.
filled any of the promises which 1t had
made TO the country, and that its policy
had thus far been barren OF results.
The party in power. he said, had one
by one put in practice all those meas
ures which it had censured under pre-
ceding administrations.
Senior Tollantes, Of the Moderates,
then gombated the violatory conduct OF
the Government with regard to Cuba.
lie denounced the Cabinet for having
entertained the proposition said to have
eminated from United States Minister
Sickles, for the sale Of Cuba, a course
calculated to keep up the instruction
in the island and also to keep up
useless agitations in the United
States. The speaker said that while
patriotism beats in Spanish hearts Cuba
will not be alienated from the mother
country. In the name of his party he
proposes a motion for vigorous prose
cution of the war to prevent the loss OF
Cuba. He urged the Corts 81 to grant
additional funds, if necessary, for the
speedy suppression of the insurrectlon'
Senor Arovelles, of the Carllst party,
supported the motion against the propo-
sltIon of selling Cuba.
1t was finally resolved by large ma
jority that Cuba should be kept at all
hazards.
The Explosions Continue. 'r
PARIS, July l5.-It is impossible to
obtain the details of the disaster at
Fincennes. The explosions continue.
tits dangerous to approach the scene OF
confusion and calamity. The accident
occurred from unloading the powder
carts in too close proximity to the ma
chinery in the preparation OF projectiles.
1t is now thought that the loss OF life is
comparatively small.
