ANXIETY AND 1MrAT1ESoE.
WARRINGTON. D. G., Dec. 6.--Thoro is grow
Ing anxiety apparent with regard to our Spanish
complications, Notwithstanding tho efforts Of
Secretary Fish 10 instill confidence by denying
ugly ruu1ora from Cuba and Spain. Tho opinion
icons faat gaining ground that tho recent quiet
has boon but lulI IN tho storm, and that it will
break forth ere long in wnr. Tic State Depart-
ment has guarded jenlousy all tint it has received
from abroad ainco tho signing of tile protocol,
and TINT circumstance IL takon aa pretty good
! evidence Of thu existence Of O state Of things
| not promising for peace as b1r. Fish has alwuys
heretofore appeared only too willing to publish

mination Of tho difficulty. Notwithstanding nil
this, thero ia reason to huliova that IN adjust
