WASHINGTON, Nov. Is, 1875.
That there could be anything OF warke nature
in the communication of Minister Cushing TO the
Spanish Government is matter of great sur
prise in official circles here AT least, such is
the profession OF those who were questioned
on the subject tonight 1t happened to
be poor night however, for newspaper nterviewers
as by provoking coincidence, the several members of
the Cabinet were dining out, except Mr. Fish, who was

has been professed all along to tho
nature of Mr.. Cushings recent note to the Spanish
Cabinet that suspicion has arisen that the President
has acted upon his impulses in the instructions
given 10 our Minister at Madrid. The only hint OF any
other subject in the communication between the
two governments was given in press des.

Cushing had demanded OF Spain a

glance at the wording Of this article shows how
the many alleged outrages upon Americans and their
property in Cuba may be urged infractons OF good
faith on the part of Spain.
II is said that the President to win eclat for his adj

United States from exercising any sympathy for the
Cubans should they refuse to lay down their arms
