VIEWS OF NEW YORK sPANIARD.
]. Ferrer DeConto, prominent Spanish
merchant of this city, who was in Madrid
only four weeks ago, says the coronation
of Alfonso was then beng talked OF in
Spanish government circles, and bis Access
sion to the throne was conceded to be ac-
ceptable then to the army, navy and all
classes. He believed that Spain will now
have responsible government, and will
submit to no interference in It's affairs by
any foreign government.
CUBAN MATTERS.
interviews with prominent Cubans here
led to an expression on their part of the be-
lief that now that Spain is a monarchy,
the pretence that it was a republic which
prevented the United, States from helping
Cubans in the Nirgnius affair would not
now stand IN the way of assistance being
given the latter. The establishment of a
monarchy had been long expected, as the
Spanish were too far behind the age to
govern themselves.
One prominent Cuban here predicts that
the re-esablishmeni OF the Spanish throne
will ultimately lead to European war,
especially as Alfonso so hastily telegraphed
to the pope for his blessings with assur-
ances of Altonso's protection. The Car
lists may now receive material aid from
Germany and other complications are like
ly 10 follow.
NEW YEARS
was one of the old-fashioned calling days
which were always the feature Of New
Years in this city. Making calls is one of
the customs which the Dutch bcqucathed
to New York as reminder of New Am
stertlam that is likely to be cherished for
many years to come. Those who had the
most calls 10 make seemed to be the
brightest and happiest OF Our people, and
whatever drunkenness disgraced the day
was confined to those who limited their
festivities to the public houses.
