WASHINGTON, January 4.-Pavia's g
coup d'etat in Spain sadly disappoints
our diplomacy. It has been known that
our dainty treatment Of Spain in the
Virginius matter was in the interest of
the CASTELAR, Government, and his defeat
is regarded as ours. AS it was not sup
posed that the CASTELAR, Government
would be of long continuance, change
was expected, but not in the manner
yesterday reported from Madrid, and
therefore the coup d'etdt of Gen. Pavia
exclted much surprise III diplomatic und
other clrcles-his name not having here.
tofore been mentioned in manner
which would ocoasion even suspicion
OF such movement on his part. Spe-
culations are freely expressed as to the
inture. and the general opinion is that
the Republican cause has becn damaged
by the reported revolutionary proceed
ing, but the official information thus far
received is OF 30 meag-e character as
to afford no basis for reliable comment.
Ihe CASTELAR, Government had, during
the Firglnius negotiation, repeatedly
declared, not only its friendlinsss to-
ward the United States, bnt its desire to
draw still closer the relations Of the two
countries; and our Government evinceG
a like nicabia feeling toward Spain,
even taking the negotiations out of the
hands OF Gen. Siokles. in order to be in
better accord with the CASTELAR, Govern
ment. The friends of that Government
IN congressional and executive circles
regret the recent events in Spain, as
likely to delay the promised reforms in
the Antilles. and preventing such neKo-
tiations through Gen. Gushing as would
tend to paoihcation in Cuba and Porto
lHco, and at the same time protect Anne
rlcan interests in Cuban waters from the
annoyances and outrages to which they
have been SO frequently subjected.
There arc official dispatches to the effect
that PAWN Is to be court nartialed for
rebellion, that his forces are disarmed,
and that the Government is undergoing
reorganization, under Marshal Serrano.
WASHINGTON. January A.-The United
States and Mexican Commission has
now fully resumed its business. and will
doubtless dispose Of all the cases on the
docket by the expiration OF its extended
term. Within tho last two months, the
Com missioners have decided at least 100
Gases. including an adverse decision in
the case OF Daniel Z. Woodhouse
against Mexico, known as the Tehuan-
tepec claim, in which tho petitioners
stated the amount of damages at over
$500. 900, 600. The claim OF Mexico, for
$27. 900. 900 on account of damages
from Indian incursions, is now in the
hands OF Sir Edward Thornton. the
umpire, the American and Mexican
Com missioners being divided in OPT
nion. Mexico claims that, under the
treaty Of Guadalonpe, the United States
pledged themselves to forcibly restrain
incursions into her territory, and that
whenever such raid could not be pre-.
vented, the Indians should be punished
by our Government, and satisfaction for
the same exacted. The Unitod States,
on the contrary, insist that our Go.
vernment could not promise to do for
Mexico more than it wns required to do
for our own citizens, and therefore no
damages could be claimed. Should, as
