The United States and Spain y
- WAsHISaToa, December 1.-THE present
distinctive point at issue between the United
aaaSpaiDis stated in. non-oficial but usually
well-informed circles as follows: The United
States asks-6rst, that in future all American
eitiz4ns In Cubs accused of violations Of law
Shall be tried by the civil courts, and not by
military tribunals, with all the rights as are
secured by the seventh article Of the tre1ty OF
1895; and second, that ali sentences where
American citizens have. heretofore been tried
By military tribunals shall be annulied.t
Spain in some degree comedies the claim
to the first proposition, but with the reserva-
ton that all such trials SHALL be according to
the law of 1921, which provides for more
expeditions proceedings than those OF the
civil courts for common claims in times Of
peace. She also offers to revise all sentence:
passed by courts.martial on American citt
Ems where it shall be satisfactorily shown
that such sentences were in violation o.
esta blished law. - - :. a.
