OF almost daily occurrence in Cuba for
several years. So far as the State Do
partment fa concerned, shere Is nothing
to indicate that it has any desire that
the end should be the breaking up of
slavery In that island, but that blood
shed might be stopped. The action of
the Government In sending dispatches
to Minister Siokles, with directions at
once to inform the Spanish Government
that the United States wonld insist upon
protecting her citizens, il the required
protection could not be afforded by
Spain, was one of friendship to Spain,
and uot,a menace. At least, this is the
way it appears tonight; and the send
ing OF war ships into Cuban waters is
not that they may be on hand, pre-
pared to watch the Spanish, but
to- watch the Cuban authorities, acting
under the Government of Spain. It is
stated Tonight that the entangling tapes
Of diplomacy were cut by the President.
and that he personally wrote despatch
to Siokles, at Madrid, directing ON Offer
OF cooperation to be nude to tho Presi.
dent of Spain. Not the slightest doubt
Is entertained in official circles that the
Spanish Government will accede to the
proposition, and that all the details will
DE arranged without The delay usually
attending diplomatic transactions. It is
| we'll known here that tho intimacy be-
| tween CASTELAR, and Sicklcs is Of the
closest Character, aud il is believed that
the former will cheerfulIy, aud even
gratefully, accept any proposition look
ing to closer relationship between the
two countries. This view Of the cuse
accords with the desires und understand
ings Of the State Department, whose
| head has always looked upon the Spa
nish people WITH enlarged generosity.
