lions to represent the President rather
than the Secretary of State before he
had received any instructions, and an
ticipating any action the Government
might be disposed to take. Minister
Slckles Immediately upon receiving
news Of the executions at Santiago de
Cuba filed a protest with the Madrid
Government. He had also since that
time and up to the time when Fish
first began to conduct negotiations
with the Spanish Government without
Slckles' aid, insisting on presenting to
CASTELAR, more imperious demands
than the instructions from the State
Department permitted. On the 22d
ofNovcmber It was known that his re-
latlons with Figuras were Of n III
friendly character and it. was at that
time Secretary Fish decided to conduct
the case without his assistance. At
the same time 1t Is stated that Fish
took Admiral Polo, the Spanish Min
lister here, into his confidence. Min.
lister Sickles very naturally became
offended and advised this Government
that the CASTELAR, Republic was a fall
ure, and that the United States Gov.
eminent should withdraw Its reCog-
milton of CASTELAR, as head Of the
Spanish Government. The Secretary
of State declined to take the action ad-
vised by Slckles, and the latter will
now come homo and lay his case be-
fore the President, whose views he has
reflected throughout. The President
will not, however, there Is reason to
believe, sustain Sicklcs, who, unless
there should be found another place
for him In the diplomatic service, will
be remanded to private life.
