There is yet some danger In regard to
the Spanish question. It is just possi.
BILE that the volunteers of Cuba will re-
fuse to carry out the terms OF the agree
ment between tho Washington and the
Madrid Governments. and should this
be the case, We may yet. be called upon
to enforce the terms Of the protocol
against the Cuban authorities. This
would open almost q wilderness OF new
complications If We were called upon
to maintain the authority Of CASTELAR, in
Cuba, aud carry out the orders of his
Government, it would be at our own ex-
pense. If our navy should l. ombard
Havana, the entire Spanish mutton
might be aroused, Castelar, and the re-
public might be overthrown, tho new
Government wonid repudiate the agree
ment, and we would have q f.st class
war on our hands. A protest of the
Cuban authorities is significant.
Scratch Spaniard and you will find
very warm and excituble blood, which
is most difficult to deal with. The
situation is yet delicate, and requires
delicate treatment. 4 single incon-
siderate act on the part OF any one OF
our gun-boats which have been sent to
the Gulf, would likely precipitato the
war, which we ought to avoid by ull
honorable means.
