The afternoon. This is the only establish
ment in Chicago that has stood up under the
the keen scrutiny OF the government oizeials
and the evidence OF the indicted dlstillers.
The seizure was not made, but hints were
strong that day or two would witness its
downfall, The knowing ones alleging that
crooked" operations have been proves

is 10 keep up vigorous prosecution until
the outer rim OF the ring has been reached,
when there will be a general proclamation OF
amnesty TO all engaged, except 70 corrupt
officials, upon their promising TO settle aud
SIN no more. The men who have acted in
the capacity of officials and prOfited by the

THE CUBAN QUESTION ABRoAD.-A vi
emma dispatch says: The Spanish cabinet
learned from a confidential quarter, IN the
middle OF December, the contents OF the cir
culsr note of the United States 10 the Euro
p6aD powers regarding Cuba. Spain there
upon Instructed her representatives 10 ex-
plain TO the various governments that the
Cuban question was not only OF American,
but OF European interest, and that compli-
cations between the United States and Spain
might have incalculable consequences for
Europe, as they would encourage the Car
lists 10 make prolonged resistance, and re
vive the hopes OF the federalists, republicans
and socialists. The Austrian government
received these declarations in a friendly
manner, and will not reply 20 the long
American dispatch, which was only read 20
Count AndraSsy, and which not only repU.
dates any int sntion Of annexing Cuba, but
in reality contains no definite conclusion.
A dispatch from Berlin says that the Ger
man government favors the proposition
made in the American note on Cuban af-
fairs, as German commerce has been seri-
ously injured by disorders In Cuba. The re-
ply OF the Spanish government 10 the Amer
lean rote has been communicated 70 the
German government.
