following editorial, and commenting
On the demands. he says: We have
not the slightest doubt that when thu
official papers are published it will b,
seen that the Government has asked
for reparation of this kind with great
| decision, and not without due courtesy
and consideration fol the struggling
republic in Spain. If Senor CASTELAR,
asked for reasonable time In order that
the Government might acquaint itsell
with all the facts in the case, could We
refuse it? No doubt an intimatiou
has been made from the other side tC
the effect that the dispute might b.
| referred to an arbitration; but there
are some things which are not adapted
to this mode of settlement. Among
them is the gross manifest indignity to
one great power by another. 1t is not
therefore supposed fora moment that
our Government will consent to any
proposals for arbitration, at least so
far us regards its principal claims for
redress. If Spain asked for time, it
was impossible to refuse; but, OF
course, to a reasonable time it must be
fixed 1t would never do to allow q
controversy of this nature to be pro-
trtctei over an indefinite period.
Such limit we have no doubt was act
ually iiXed. If we are not mistaken
it expires OH the 25th inst. and then If
the authorities of Madrid cannot de-
eide on doing justice to onr Govern
nent the United States Minister there
will IcIose his legation. This, ofco1rse,
wonltl not shut the door upon all nego-
tiation, bat unquestionablyit would be
a startling event. The Virginius
should have been condemned, If
condemned at all, only before a legal
tribunal. Spain has clearly violated
the treaty of 1895, aud breach of faith
could not be allowed to pass unclial-
lenged. 1t seems very probable that
the Independence of Cuba will be the
resnlt of the difficulty. although we
still hope it will be accomplished with
out war between the United States and
Cuba.
