Spaln's Reply to Minister Cushing's
Note.

Washington telegram to the New York
Herald: "The reply of the Spanish
Government to the note of Minister
Gushing was promptly transmitted by
cable to the State Department, and de-
ciphered there this morning. 1t proves
to be dignified response to the demands
which our Government made in the mat
ter of American interests in the island of
Cuba, and will, it is believed, dissipate
all fears of trouble between Spain and
the United States. The tone of the re-
ply is firm, but very conciliatory. The
justice of our demand is not ignored.
The confusion of affairs in Cuba obstruct
an impartial exercise and prompt adj
ministration of the requirements of the
treaty of 1895. Spain defends her right
to maintain courts martial In Cuba, and
cites, in support of her position on this
question, the fact that the United States,
during, and for long time subsequent
to, the late war of secession, and France,
for the two years succeeding the tri-
umph of the republic over the COM
mune, and even then, under the mild
reign of Theirs, made use of similar
military or extraordinary tribunals to
deal out justice to public and civil enc
mics. In the case of France, these tri-
bunals sentenced to be shot or to be
transported to Cayenne over 1000 per-
sons, and yet these tribunals exercised
their functions after the close of the war
until the advent of complete peace.
Therefore, Spain, in the midst of her
war in Cuba, maintains the right of
using courts martial to try offenders
against her laws, but really makes the
concession that American citizens can
have their advocates or attorneys, and
produce witnesses in their own behalf,
conformably to the provision of article Z
of the treaty of 1876, and according to
the regular course of proceedings in
such cases, and gives guarantees of such
mode of defense. OF course, in the
case of Spanish subjects, no exception
will be made which will allow them the
enjoyment of this advantage in defend
ing themselves against prosecution by
the Spanish authorities for their offenses.
In these cases the advocates will be
designated by the chief military authori-
ty that is, the Captain General will APP
point them. The above is full synop-
sis of the answer of the Spanish Govern
ment in reply to Mr.. Gushing, and has
been deemed satisfactory enough to
warrant the countermanding of the or.
ders originally given to put our navy in
preparation for such contingency as q

ernments. as-a

when the flowers and fruit and leaves of

the still air was thrilled with the sound

Mabel had come home, and the garden

for three happy children who entered

"Oh, Mabel, am SO glad you are

"We never missed you but once, and

"You could not have missed me any

Asses, MILL.

English physicians are in the habit of
sending patients to Italy, to get the
benefit of the climate and drink asses
milk. In order to secure the purity of
the milk, the asses are ordered each day
to the patients door, where the milking
Is done under his own eye or that of a
servant or friend. A traveller, writing
of this custom, says that "the ass-milkers
in the Italian towns usually carry a
bladder of lukewarm water under their
cloaks, kept up to the heat of the body
under the armpits, of the contents Of
which they furtively infuse portion
into the several milk-lugs in the face of
the domestics, who never suspect the
trick. Thus are poor patients, when
given up by the faculty and sent to
languish under an Italian sun, and die,
turned over to the tender mercies of
tricksters, generally the associates or
creatures of cheating hotel-keepers.
