Guban A fairs.

From the w ashipgton Republican.
The Government has received unofficial IN
formation confirming the announcement 10 the
Associated Press dispatch that the Spanish
Cabinet are unanimously 10 favor OF a satiStac-
tory and honorable settlement of the Firglulus
difficulty but regard the maintenance OF the
integrity of Spanish territory as essential. 1t
is expected that official confirmation of the au-
nouncement will be received in few days
This virtually settles the difficulty which exists
between the two Governments, unless the
Madrid authorities find something objection
able in our demand for reclamation. 1t is not
probable however, that such contingency
will arise. The exact terms OF our demand
cannot be made public at this time, tor the
manifest reason that its publication would lead
to prejudcial discussions, both in the United
States and Spain. 1t is known. however, that
the demand is so comprehensive aud so firmly
PIT as to satisfy the requirements OF national
dignity aud honor. 1t seems probable now
that the fual answer to the demand will not be
made In time to allow full discussion OF the
subject in the Presidents message to Congress-
but it is certain that sufficient information re-
garding abe matter will be embraced in the
message to enable, Congress to act iuteigently
1t also seems probable that the Madrid author
tiles will request further time 10 which to ~
vestigate the circumstances of the case. Our
Government will firmly insist upon reasonable
dispatch in the Investigation. 1t will confront
all demands for unreasonable delay with such
force as to compel the speedlest settlement
possible under the circumstances. At the
Cabinet meeting yesterday these points we're
fully discussed, and the unanimous opinion was
expressed that the emergency Of the situation
will not admit of delay. The possibility that
the Madrid Government will not be able to
compel the execution of its ord ers for reclama
tiou has been considered, and the assurance is
given that whatever reclamation may be yielded
acceptable to the United States will be realized
to the fullest extent. If the Spanish Govern
ment is unable to execute its own orders, way
will be found by this Government to secure
their execution.

AN OLD CASE REVIVED. A dispatch from
Ottawa rcviyes an almost forgotten Incident.
Three years ago a few thousand settlers IN the
western borders of Canada; mostly half breeds,
revolted against she Provincial authorizes, set
up sort OF independent government Of their
own, with Louis Rlel at its head, and proceed
ed to Impose the penalties of treason upon all
who held out against it. One poor fellow, Thos.
Scott, having committed some violation ofthc
claws Of war; was seized and executed by the
fraudulent provisional government. In the
spring of 1870, when Sir Garnet WolScy now
comnandng the expedition against the Asian
tces) appeared at the head Of a competent
force in Manitoba. the provisional government
disappeared like the dew and Ricl ran away. \
territorial organization was set up, under officials
appointed by the authorities OF Canada, aud
everything appeared to- be going forward finely.
As the ringlcaderS kept out Of the way, no Sc
rious attempt was made to puoSh the partcl-
pants 10 the rebellion. 1n the meantime Rel
obtained, or profcssed to have obtained from
Sir John 4 Macdonald (then at the head of the
Dominion GOVERNMENT a promise of amnesty,
aud he was elected to represent his Manitoba
constituency 10 the Canadian Parliament; but
not entirely trusting Sir John A. Macdonald S
successor, he failed to put in an appearance at
Ottawa. Aud now comes the Intelligence that
he has been indicted by the Manitoba Grand
Jury for murder. If he is caught he will very
probably be hung.
