Our Difficulties With Spain.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ID.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA.
The present distinctive point at issue
between the United States and Spain is
stated in non official, unusually well-in-
formed circles to beas follows: L&
The United States ask: 1. That in flu
ture all American citizens in Cuba ac-
cused of violation of law shall be tried by
civil courts, and not by military tribunals,
with all the rights in such cases as are
secured by the seventh article of the
treaty of 1895; and 2. That all sentences,
where American citizens have heretofore
been tried by military tribunals, shall be
annulled Spain in some degree comedies
the claim of the United States to the first
proposition, agreeing that IN future Ameri-
can citizens accused ofviolation of lawshall
be tried by the ordinary tribunals, with
the right to be heard by counsel, to sum-
mon witnesses, and employ all other nee
essary safeguards+to the accused, but with
the reservation that all such trials shall
be according to the law of 1891, which
provides for more expeditions proceed
ings than those of civil courts for COM
mon crimes in time of peace. She also
offers to revise all sentences passed by
cOurt-martial on American citizens, where
it shah be satisfactorily shown that such
sentences were in violation of established
law. This reply is unsatisfactory to the
United States, which takes the ground
that American citizens accused of crime
cannot be tried by court-martial, but are
entitled to trial before the civil tribunals
only, as secured by treaty stipulation,
without such reservation as is proposed by
Spain.
