OUR ADMINISTRATION BEATEN
IN SPANISH DIPLOMACY.
SPAIN WILL MANAGE HER OWN AF.
FAIRS In HER OWN WAY.
And MIR. Grant Countermands his Order in
Regard to the Navy.

New YORK, Nov. lS.--The Herald s
Washington special, dated yesterday, says
the reply of the Spanish government to
the note of Minister Gushing was prompt
ly transmitted by cable to the state depart.
ment and deciphered there this morning.
1t proves to be dignifad response to the
demands which our government made in
the matter of American interests in the
Island of Cuba, and will, it is believed, dis
sipate all fears of trouble between Spain
and the United States. The tone of the
reply is tirm, but very conciliatory. The
justice of our demand is not ignored. The
confusion of affairs in CUBA obstructs the
exercise of an impartial and prompt ad
mlnlstratlon of the requirements of the
treaty of 1895. Spain defends her right
to maintain courts martial in Cuba, and
cities, in support of her position on this
question, the fact that the United States
during and Tor long tire subsequent to
the late war of secession, and France for
two years succeeding the triumph of that
republic over the commune, and even then
under the mild reign of Theirs, made use
OF similar military and extraordinary trib-
unals to deal out justice to public and civil
enemies
La the case of France, those tribunals
sentenced to be shot or to be transported
to Cayenne over two thousand persons,
and yet those tribunals exercised their
functions after the close Of the war and
advent of complete peace; therefore.
Spain, in the most of her wars in Cuba,
maintains the right of using courts-martial
to try offenders against her laws but read
lily makes the concession that American
citizens can have their advocates or attorn
eys and produce witnesses in their own be
halt, ,confOrmabIy to the provisiOnsof article
seven of the treaty of 1895, and according
to the regular course of proceeding in such
cases, and gives guarantees of such mode
of defence.
Of course in the case of Spanish sub
jects no exception wi be made which will
allow them the enjoyment of this advant'
age in defending themselves against pro
secution by the Spanish authorities for their
offences. In these cases the advocates
will be designated by the chief military
authority, that is, the Captain General
will appoint them.
The above is full synopsis Of the an
swer of the Spanish government in reply tC
Mr.. Gushing and has been deemed salts
factory enough to warrant the counter
manding of orders originally given to pu
our navy in preparation for the contingency
of misunderstanding between the twl
governments.
