DR.. HOWARD.
The Action Of tae Spanish Authorities In
Cuba In the Case of Or. Howard
10 be Investigated.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
President will tomorrow send to the
House of Representatives his reply to
the resolution calling for information
in relation to the trial, conviction, and
sentence Of DR.. Howard by the Span
ish authorities in Cuba. The dOcu-
ments are voluminous, beginning
with November 1870. They show
much interest on their part for
the government in the matter, and
that not little difficulty existed to
determine whether the Doctor was
really a citizen Of the United States.
The government has asked for, but
has not received, copies Of the proceed
ings OF the court martial before which
Howard was tried. The Spanish min
Ister here says that information has
been received from Cuba that Howard
didEnot there enroll himself as a for
eigner as required by the law of
1870. There are, however, other
papers tending to show his
American citizenship. 1t is evil
dent that the Secretary Of State is
not entirely clear on that point. He
has, however, instructed our charge
diaffairs at Madrid to bring this case
to the attention of the Spanish gov
ernment, and to point out the fact
that Howard is a native citizen of the
United States, and to demonstrate
against the proceedings Of the Spanish
authorities IN Cuba in his case as a
violation of the provisions of the
treaty OF 1895 between the United
States and Spain, and to ask for his
immediate release.

The South Improvement OrganiZa.
