Our Spanish Relations.

1t is announced this morning that
our Spanish relations were under dis
cussion at the cabinet meeting yester-
day and that there was decided feel
ing for the struggling Carlists. The
rumors seem to be confirmed by the
following utterances Of the National Re-
publican, the recognized organ OF the
administration, in an editorial this
morning, headed Spain and Cuba"
The Republican Gays:
Recent occurauces have attracted es-
pecial attention to the condition Of
affairs in Cuba and the almost unan.
imous verdict is that the patriots Of the
island, after five years Of war, during
which the home government has failed
to hold its own, are to us better rec
oguition than has yet been accrued to
them. The argument that the man.
dates of international law prevent an
acknowledgement Of their beligerency
does not find submissive response, and
the impulsive sympathies Of the people,
which relieves itself in expressions OF
war denunciation of the restrictions
which interpose to prevent the accom-.
p)ishment OF their most earnest wishes.
But our government is actuated by
motives of q pure and independent
desire to conform its policy to the equi-
ties OF the case as viewed from an uu-
prejudiced International stand point.
We cannot afford 10 destroy,in response
to our sympathies, tho record OF 8
generation, in which We have preserved
y consistant refusal to take part in the
intrusion or even National quarrels OF
our neighbors. Nevertheless it must
be acknowledged that the growing dis
favor towards Spain may result in a
demand from our people to 80 change
her life long policy Of resistance to per-
sonal government as to include warm
encouragement for republican rule
wherever and whenever it may be asked.
There is logic in this which is plain,
and which has already heen applied to
Spain in the prompt recognition OF the
republicans in that country. 1t is evil
dent from this hurried statement that
our relations with Spain are imperiled
in their friendliness, as the constant
ly recurring outrsges against Amer
| lean citizens are getting to be complica-
ted, and it is known they demand the
most serious attention. In other words
while adhering implicitly and patient
ly to the line of duty as presented by
law and precedent, our State Depart
ment is constantly harrassed by infiu-
ences OF a contrary purport."
The recent disappearance Of the sc.
cret archives of war is being investiga-
ted and the result Of the Investigations
will be reported to the President.
To be Chief Justice.
1t is stated that the President has de-
termined to nominate Judge Hoar, OF
Massachusetts,, as Chief Justice.
Mr. A. ID. Meacbam.
The Peace Commissioner who was
wounded at the Candy massacre. will
probably attend the forthcoming trial Of
Captain Jack and his confederates. he
il still a firm believer in the present
policy OF the Government toward the
Indians, and says there are white men
in California and Oregon more responsi-
BILE fer the blood of General Candy than
Captain Jack himself. He is at present
engaged in preparing his report Of bis
attem pts to pacifcate the Modocs.
Gen. James e. Johnston.
Has arrived at Alleghaney Springs to
remain for the summer.
Notwithstanding the publications FREE
quently made, no distribution Of the
money to come from Great Britain un-
der the Geneva award, will take place
before action by Congress. Many OF
the parties interested appear to be OF a
different opinion. Enquiries are being
addressed here which made it proper
to say that none OF the claimants need
be worrying themselves just yet for
they will have good time waiting
when the money is once invested In
United States bonds there will be no
haste to pay it out. Between the cons
flictipg views of the Senate and House
Judiciary committees it may be reason.
