Affairs remain a good deal as they were in
the Cuban matter. though the diplomatists are
still at work seeking to solve the problem of
how to satisfy our national honor short of war
As both governments are sincerely anxious to
reach a pacific solution, II would seem to be a
not very difficult task to settle the difficulties
off-hsnd, and such would be the case il Spain
had a strong government for us to deal with,
but it is the pTeeariOus footing of the CASTELAR,
government that makes it so difficult a matter
to have dealings with it. 1t is probable that
the Madrid government feels it requisite TO
lie able TO assure the spanish people that if
the NrgiDius Is given up it will be properly
dealt with By the L. =. courts, and not permitted
to go out again on its G.libustering career.
There l. no foundation, OF course, for the sensa-
ton story that the EirgIEius had been scuttled
by the Havauese, or tGat Minister Sickles had
been driven from Mairid. Ii would not be
matter OF surprise, however. to hear at any
moment that Mr.. Sickles has left Madrid, on
account Of his unpleasant personal relations
with members OF tile Spanish Cabinet; but this
would not indicate any rupture of Diplomatic
relations, as the questions AZ issue are under
discussion at Washington rather than at Madrid.
The Spanish government must, of course. pass
pom any plan of settlement negotiated between
Secretary Fish and the Spanish minister; but
this could as well nc done direct, without the
agency Of r L. 5. minister at Madrid.
There is no question that the CASTELAR, govern
ment Is in good faith seeking a peaceful sOlu-
ton Of the difficulties with this country, and ia
willing to consede AL the reparatiOn to
us IL can and sustain itself with the Span
ish people. And as regards its ability to enforce
its authority in Cuba, it should be borne in mind
that 1t has compelled the concession BY the
SPanish-Cubans OF a point Of more real import
ance TO US than any now presented. L. E., the
execution of the orders surrendering the embar-
COED Cuban estates belonging to citizens OF the
United States.
