THE CASE OF DIR. HoUARD.
The Delay ia Releasing Him..Sharp

Publication of a Letter From secre.
tary Fish Reviewing the Case Of
HOuard..The us. Probably
In the Wrong.

MADRID, July 8.-The delay which has
taken place in the tultlllment OF the de,
mand for the release Of DR.. Houard from
prison by the Spanish government, Is &C.
casioned by the fact that scnor Martes
requires, on tho part OF the Kings Cabi.
net, that the United States Minister In
Madrid shall ask that Houard may be
pardoned by his Majesty Amads. This
the Minister refuses TO do, and maintains
that Houard is not guilty Of a crime, and
Is unjustly held in detention by the Span.
iards. Sharp official notes have been ex.
changed between the Spanish foreign
officers and the American legation, and
ministerial kilograms have been received
from Washington on the subject.
NEW York, July y7.-Secretary Fish, ,on
March 9th, telegraphed our charge at
Madrid, recognizing the citizenship Of DR..
Houard and directing a remonstrance
against the proceedings of the Cuban
court martial as q violation of the proyis.
ions Of the treaty, and asking the imme.
diatc release of the prisoner. Three days
later Mr., Fish wrote in o letter to Vice
President Colfax, which Is published to,
day, reviewing DR.. Houard's case in a
manner by no means favorable to the pris.
oner The Secretary shows that the long
residence Of DR.. Houard In Cuba and his
enjoyment of certain privileges, TO which
Is attached the right to become a
Spanish subject, in some degree
justified the authorities for their action
in regard to DR.. Houard as subject to
their Jurisdiction, while on the other hand
ho says nothing whatever had been
brought forward in the Drs. behalf TO il.
lustrate or prove his assertion at anytime
Of American citizenship, until the misfor-
tune Of his arrest and imprisonment oc-
CURED. Secretary Fish in this letter goes
on to review the evidence against DR..
Houard and declared that it was of a
character, that would have convicted q
party on the same o6ense during our war,
the Secretary adds the strong point
which prevents the intervention Of this
Government in behalf Of DR.. Hourad
from becoming efEicacious for his release,
is fact that he has been regularly tried
and found guilty by q duly constituted
tribunal in the Island OF Cuba.
