cording to instructions, Sickles says he re-
ceived an ill-tempered note, Of which he
sends copy. Fish telegraphed Sickles on
Nov. 10, reporting 81 more executions, and
saying if Spain cannot redress these out
RACES, the United States will. Onthe 10Th
he informed Fish he was waiting instruc-
| tions and said:
''The tone, temper and substance of the
written communications made to me by the
| Minister of State are very different froIn
the apparent purpose of the telegram sent
to the Spanish Minister in Washington and
communicated to you. The refusal to say
a word about the merits of the case in reply
to my demand is arbitrary, inadmiSsable
and humiliating.
"You announce that on the same day
different professions were made to you.
CarvagOle's notes to ME are exhibited as
showing the real position of the govern
ment. They are offensive in form and dis
satisfactory in substance. If We hesitate,
it will be asserted and believed in Cuba
and Spain that we pause before the defiant
attitude assumed by this government and
people. This boast will be supported by
the official and formal declarations of this
Cabinet in reply to the communication
have made to it in obedience to your in
structIOnS. MiSapprehending our forbear-
ance Spain would abuse any success OBJ
tanned by duplicity and delay, and show
herself more than ever arrogant and re-
gardleSS of our rights and dignity.
Il have the best reasons
for the opinion that my prompt withdrawal
from Madrid in default Of reparatiOn which
the President has decided me to demand,
will convince Spain we are in earnest, and
she will yield to our terms, and peace may
be honOrably preserved. The fact that
Spain holds one attitude here and
another in Washington on the same day
would seem to impeach her sincerity. This
diSsimulation / am sure is due to the fear
of a diplomatic rupture or something
wOrSe.r
Fish telegraphed to Sickes, Nov. 21, to
the effect that the proposals offered in
Washington were better than those offered
in Madrid and the public interests required
that Sickles should keep quiet. Neyertbe-
less Fish telegraphed, Nov. p, TO Sickes ::
'1f no accommodation is reached by the
close of tomorrow, leave. If proposition
iSsubmitted,yOuw will refer il to Washington
and defer action"
After this Fish excuses the transfer of
negotiations to Washington on his suppo-
sitiOn that Sickles had left Madrid, and on
Nov. % the protocol was signed. 1t is 10 be
noted that i'm an interview with PalO on the
2lSt November, Secretary Fish expresses to
find no disapproyal from Spain of the hasty
executions At Santiago, and We look in vain
for 1t in the protocol.
The salute to the flag was waived BY
Secretary Fish on Dee. %, and Admiral
PalO writes to FiShOn Jan , expressing ON
behalf of his government a disclaimer Of
intent of indignity to the flag of the United
States.

THE ROMAN QUESTION.
Moral Support for Kaiser Wilhelm
PrOpOsed Public Meeting I'm London
Resolutions of sympathy.


NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The following are
the resolutions which will be moved at a
public meeting TO be held at St. James
Hall, London, under the Presidency OF
Earl Russell, on Tuesday, the 18th of JAN
uary, for the purpose of expressing sympa-
thy with the German Government in its
conflict with the Ultra-MOntaneS.
/. That this meeting desires to ex-
press to His Majesty the Emperor of Ger
many, deep sense of its admiration for
His Majesty's letter to the Pope, bearing
date Of Sept. 3, 1873.
?. That this meeting unreservedly rec
ognizes it to be the duty and right OF ma
tions to uphold civil and religious liberty,
and therefore deeply sympathizes with the
people of Germany in their determination
to resist the doctrines of the Ultra-Mon-
tame section of the Church of Rome.
3. That the chairman, in the name OF
the meeting, be requested TO communicate
these resolutions 10 His Majesty the En-
peror of Germany and to the German
people.
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks that the
liberals at Rome are making use OF Pho
Nono'S obstinate rejection OF all proposals
for accommodation, to urge that the Sepa-
tion of the temporal and spiritual king
doms should be carried out logically and
completely, and that the church buildings
of the city, the monuments of all kinds,
and above all the Vatican library and gal
leries should be taken by the State. This
view, it is observed, was not only adopted
by NapoIean, the first, in his original con-
quest of Italy, made wren he was Gen.
Bonaparte, but was practically acquiesced
in by the Pope, who accepted as one of the
conditions of peace, after the defeat of his
troops, that imposed on him of sending a
number Of the most valuable of the Nati-
can manuscripts to Paris, without any at
tempt to attach any sacredness 10 them as
church property.

THE BANKRUPT STATE.
Meeting of the Louisiana Legis-

Kellogg COnfesses that His Rule
Amounts to COnfiScatiOn.
The Bogus Legislature.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 5.-The Legisla-
ture met at Mechanics Institute. The pro
ceedines were orderly. 1t is understood
that Lowell, the present Speaker, holds
over under pledge to resign in ten days II
the House wishes it. Gov. KellOgg's mes
sage was very long. Its main points were
these: The total debt of the State is S24,-
2SS, 1886. Some of this was of doubtful le-
gality, and was being tested in the courts.
The State had tried TO pay the interest on
this amount, and had done so up to date,
but could do so no longer without main
tanning a rate of taxation which is almost
cOnfiScation. He proposes the funding OF
the whole debt at 90 cents on the dollar in
new Z per cent consols, guaranteed by con-
stitutional amendment, and the approprla-
tion for the interest to be made perpetual,
the debt to be limited at the point to which
il would be reduced by this consolidation,
say fifteen millions. He argues that these
consols would be worth par, whilst the
preseut bonds are only worth on the mar
ket 80 cents ON the dollar, and states that
the consolidation scheme has been submit
ted to and approved by the New Orleans
Chamber of Commerce and large bOndhold-
ers. He regrets that the large appropria-
tious made for railroads had resulted in a
failure to build the road to Texas. The
two and half million bonds issued to the
Mobile and Texas railroad by the act of
1871 without consideration, would proba-
bIv not be paid. Any one whowOuld come
forward and give solid guarantee to build
the road should have every assistance from
the State. Failing in all other plans, he
recommended the State to buy the road un-
der a second mortgage bond, and build it
itself. He recommended the revision or re-
neal of a large number of laws, and says
That if the members forming the opposing
hodV do not come in and take the seats
which have been Kept open for them, they
must take all the responsibility Of the re-
suit of their conduct.

Payia TO be COurtmarfialed-W
iuRtOu Views.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Official adviceS
confirm the main features of the Madrid
dispatches. 1t appears that Payia is to be
cOGrtmartialed for rebellion, and that his
supporters have been disarmed. The coup
de etat OF Gen. Payia at Madrid excites
much surprise in diplomatic and other cir
cles, his name not having heretofore been
mentioned in a manner which would Occa-
sion even a suspicion of such a movement.
SpeculatiOns are freely expressed s. to the
future; and the general opinion is that the
Republican cause has been damaged by the
lately reported revolutionary proceedings.
But the official information thus far reeeiv-
ed is of so meagre character as to afford
no basis for reliable comment. The Cas-
telar government had during the Virginius
negotiations repeatedly declared mot only
its friendlineSs toward the United States,
but its desire to draw still closer
the relations of the two countries;
and oar government has evineed a
like amicable feeling toward Spain, even
taking the negotiations out of the hands of
Gen. Sickles, in order to be in better accord
with the CASTELAR, government. The friends
of that government in Congressional and
executive circles regard the recent events in
Spain as likely to delay the promised re-
forms in the Antilles, and to prevent such
negotiations through Gen. Cushing as
would tend TO the pacifcatiOn of Cuba and
