THE GRAVE Attitude OF OUR
RELATIONS WITH SPAIN

The following important dispatch in
dicates the not remote possibility of the
settlement of our long AMI and growing
list Of old scores with Spain by an ap-
peal to arms:
Madrid, November 20. The situation
is grave There is serious nisunder-
standing between Minister S;ekles and
the Spanish Cabinet. On the arrival OF
the news of the capture of the Virsinius
President CASTELAR, called at the United
States Legation and expressed his regret
and ordered suspension of the sen
fences. When Secretary Fish telegraph
cd the news of the executions General
Sickles sent n note at 2 O'clock in the
morning demanding a stay. The For
elm Secretary doubted the accuracy Of
the information, and intinIate1 that
General Sickle's action was not author
lied. Thereupon General Sickles, III
the name of the United States adj
dressed formal protest against the in
human butcheIies, and the insult to the
United States flag: and demanded that
Spain should enforce her orders IN Cuba.
and insisted on the rights of Americans
to trial under the treaty of 1876. He
also complained that the American Con-
SUI at Santiago was prevented from using
the telegraph to Washington. The Span
ish Secretary answered that the matter
was wholly a municipal affair between
Spain and the Virginius pirates, and that
Spain could not tolerate American inter-
ferencs The interview ended by Gen
,ral Sickles demanding that Spain should
enforce the order OF the Cabinet in
Cuba for suspension..of the executions
The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs
haying declined to permit General
Sickles to discuss the municipal affairs
OF Cuba, the interview terminated angrily
General Sickies saying he would hold no
more personal ami only official relations
with the Minister. Public feeling runs
ligh. The SDaniarls blame the Uaited
States for the Cuban insurrectioa, ana
say they will welcome war. Minister
Sickles says he does not see how war can
be avoided as Spain Will concede moth
ing, aud public opinion will prevent
President Castelar, from making any
concession; that there is no use in the
United States trifiing any more on the
subject, as Spanish stubbo:ness will
MAKE concessions impossible. The ex-
treI,e Republicans favor the views OF the
UnitAd States in the affair.

A CoExEE on HAy-We understand

WHILE we confess to feeling fiat
tered at being recognized by the En-
terp,ise as "the leading Republican
organ in this State" we deny the
"Reminiscences of its further conclu-
sion that our views upon the railway
question are to be taken as the
avowed policy of the party. Our
notions concerning the railway ques-
ton, like our religious ideas, are
simply our own Individual property
and the Republican party is no more
to be charged with responsibility
for the one than for the other. 1t is
because we hold that the Republican
party is established upon sufii
GENTLY broad gauge to enable 1t to
carry within itself a diversity OF
opinions on everything but the one
or two cardinal articles of faith that
lend it an imperishable principle of
vitality, that VIC deem it not only un-
wise but unnecessary to abandon Its
organization to go in search Of the
vasarics which, like 4 VIII o the
Wisp, are leading the Enterprise ana
its benighted fellowtravelers into
the trackIess morass Of No Man
Land. Ii we had so poor an opinion
of the Republican party as to think
that in order to retain our voice and
standing therein, it were incumbent
on US to surrender our personal ideas
concerning all subordinate and IN
defined issues, we. too, might feel
tempted to repuiiate it; but in doing
SO we trust we should not be guilty
of denouncins the work we had helped
to build mp. sustain and virdicate
the moment we had set foot without
the portals of its organization.

THE Silrer Safe ventures the opin-

The Slrer Safe ventures the opin-
ion, after considering one of the En-
sesprise's articles on the Granger
movement, that Senator Jones favors
that movement. We have never
seen nor heard anything which justi
fies that conclusion, and, while we
have no right to act "a Mr.. Jones
organ, in the premises, yet We feel at
liberty to say that we do not believe
that he is at all willing that his name
should be used to help demolish the
party whose last political perform
ance in this State was to elect him
to the Senate of the United States.
We believe him to be too much of
man and actuated by too large
sense of propriety and justice to take
such action as should seem to say,
1.-THE Republican party in Nevada
had nothing left for it to do but
elect me and die" We have too
high regard for Mr.. Jones. politi-
cally and personally. to believe him
capable of this act of constructive
arrogance.

More bout the NarEoU-Gauge.

We have another encouraging report
from the Elko and Hamilton Narrow
Gauge Railroad This last promise
sounds more like business than any
which has preceded it. We trust that 1t
may prove true; though the managers
should not blame the people Of this Sec
ton if they should still entertain doubts
concerning the success of the enterprise.
We are gratifed to learn that Messrs.
Gilmer & Salisbury have succeeded in
making satisfactory arrangements with
! the Central Pacific, and that there is at
least prospect OF twenty OF thirty
miles Of iron being laid down before
January" That Is, however, n pretty
big forty-days' job. But the following
telegram received by the SENTINEL from
EIko last night explains the situation:
| "Engincer Peterson and Assistant
| arrived from California tonight and WI!
| commence work On the Narrow GGace
road tomorrow morning. A Large force
is to be put TO work, ana if possible

Inasmuch as we suppose that sufficient
time has elapsed since Nessrs. Salisbury,
Woodruff, Hampstead and Others were
here, arranging their business, TO make
it proper for Us TO pay 20 further obedi-
ence to their injunction to ''say nothing

cles of incorporation, already filed with

show Salisbury says they will ccm-
plete twenty miles between now
and the first Of January. The
grade, he says. is easy, and there
will be reed of but few bridges. Labor
can readily be obtained. Mr.. S informs
us that the contemplated route from

Kentucky, which was to have taken place

This postponement has not been Oeca-
stoned, as we are advised by Gov. Rranl-

the contrary, the sales have been hnusa-
ally large-much larger than at either of
the preceding concerts-so large, indeed,
that the time given by this piiIety-day
posrponement will enable Gov. 5Bram-
fette to dispose Of every ticket andfpsure
a full drawing without any reduction or
scaling of the gifts, as has heretofore been
the case. Gov. B. sees his way so clearly
