f THE CASE OF TIE HORNET. g
The statements that several Spanish
war vessels had left the Cuban waters for
the purpose Of seizing the Hornet are pro-
nounced untrue. The Spanish Ruthori.
ties have already been advised that seri.
Gus trouble may result should the Hornet
be seized while she Is under the American
flag, and especially as II Is not known
that she has violated the neutrality laws
While II cannot positively be asserted
that she is privileged to carry her own
flag, her true character, nevertheless, is
q question for civil investigation, and not
to be determined alone by the Spanish
authorities with the aid Of naval iorces
Another subject in this connection forms
the basis for complaint by the Spanish
Government, viz: Not long ago the Span
ish Consul at Port au Prince made do.
mand on the IIaytien authorities for the
surrender Of tho Hornet, but was refused,
our minister there having entered strong
protest against IT,. and also against the
Spanish menace. Sometime after these
proceedings the Spanish Consul, while
passing the wharf where the vessel lay,
was loudly derided by her crew, which Is
said TO consist Of about two hundred
colored sailors In consequence Of these
proceedings, the Consul returned 10 his
consulate and took down his flag, and the
fact OF this alleged indlgnlty has been
communicated to our Government. This
Is the matter as islands, with no prospect
Of an immediate settlement of the qucs.
