the settlement of which was necessary
before satisfactory relations with
Spain could be established or main
tained. On all of these you were in
structed. Most prominent among
them were questions arising from
embargo and confiscation of the
estates of American citizens in Cuba.
Those relating to the trial of Ameri-
can citizens in that island in violation
of investigations, and claims arising
out of the capture of the Virginius,
including the trial and punishment of
Gen. Burril after the expiration of
more than Is months, it seems advisa-
bic to examine what progress has been
made and to consider our present rela-
tions with Spain Interference to the ar
bitrary seizure and the Withholding of
estates and property ofcitizens of the
United States in Cuba under the pro-
ceedings, after what progress has been
made, and to consider our present re-
lations with Spain. Then after prop
erty of American citizens had been
seized in violation of treaty provisions,
in absence of Judicial proceedings,
without hearing and under such cir
cumstances as to call for vigorous pro-
test and demands on the part of this
Government. The general facts sur
rounding these cases are we'll known.
1t is not pretended SO far as I am
aware that any legal justif-
cation of these wrongs has been
attempted OH the part of the authori-
ties of Spain, or that these proceedings
in Cnba are deemed irregular. On the
tn ha
by the government on the 18th of July,
1873, the illegality and undefensible
character of these acts was admitted
and the embargOes were ordered to be
removed and the property to be re-
stored. This decree was first received
in Cuba with calm Indifference, not
even published or adverted to. The
proceedings of the authorities were in
a notable respect changed thereby at
the time of the visit of Seymour
to Soler y Pla, Minister of ultra
marine, the decree was i'm some in
stances recognized and some insignifi-
cant steps taken in individual cases to
comply therewith; in general, howev-
er, it was claimed either that incum-
brances existed, making compliance
Herewith impossible or the delivery
was offered, bordered by leases or in
cumbrances and coupled with unfair
conditions, or demands of delivery
was awarded on the ground that that
particular property was confiscated,
not emb0dyed in the first decree was
treated in general with supreme in
differences. You were informed that
the President, while not disposed to
question the willingness of the au-
thorities in Spain to do justice to this
Government and her citizens, expect
ed that means would be found to COM
pei agents in Cuba to obey orders of
the Supreme Government; such was
the condition of the question at the
date of your departure, numbers of
American citizens had at this
time been deprived of their prop.
erty and We're anxiously awaiting
performance of promises and assu-
RANGES which had been given by the
Spanish government, in spite of all the
efforts which you have made. Intelli-
gent and energetic as they have been,
no effectual result has been accom-.
plshed.

Tons Of Silver.

1t is announced that the great mon-
ey firm of FLOOD & O'BRIEN have de-
termined to exhibit at the Centennial
Celebration months yield of bullion
from the California and Consolidated
Virginia mines. To the casual reader
this announcement CONVEYS nothing
of vast Importance, but when we be-
gin to count up the aggregate these
two mines are capable of producing
within the time named the PROPOSE
tion looks dazzling. Men and mills
in sufficient number may be worked
to produce bullion to the value of ten
million dollars during May. In June
it will be forwarded to Philadelphia
and at once placed on exhibition. The
bullion will weigh one hundred and
fifty tons and the three thousand five
hundred silver bricks will load tif-
teen cars. When this immense weight
of silver-the product of two mines

comment from those Eastern papers

Important Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, January 2lst.-The
President to-day enclosed the letters
of Secretary Fish and copies of his cor
respondence to the House of Represen-
tatives, in response to q resolution of
that body calling for copies of the cor
respondence in relation to the Cuban
question. The documents are volumi-
nous and comprise much that has
heretofore been published. Itappears
that on the 5th of November the Sec
retary of State addressed lengthy let
ters to Minister Cushing at Madrid,
the first of which refers to the neglect
of Spain to comply with the stipula-
tions of the protocol of November,
1S73,and particularly in relation to the
trial of Burrel according to the terms
of said protocol. 1t appears that no
steps have been taken by the Spanish
government to that end, but that it
was even then discussing certain alb
stract questions when it should he ma
king the Investigation without wait
ing for any communication from
the United States government.
The Secretaries say it has been and is
our desire to adjust this and every
other question, and in this desire we
have been pressed almost to the limit
of endurance. In some spirit you
have again been instructed to repre-
sent to Spain the injury to that course
in reference to Gen. Burrel. The in
vestigatiOn of both cOun tries and it's
efforts on our relations, and therefore
it be earnestly hoped these represent
tations may be responded to in the
same spirit whether this question
shall proceed or follow the treaty
question or confiscation. The case is
left to your discretion, and on the 10th
of November telegram was sent by
Mr.. Cushing to Mr.. Fish on the state
ment of the Spanish note that came
in. 1t repeats the assurance of the
trial of Burrel on the date of Novem-
Der 18th, 1875. The Secretary of State
addressed another communication to
Mr.. Cushing, which is as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 1875.
CALEB CUSHING, EsQ:-Sr:-Pur-
suant to the ultimatum conveyed
in my note of the oath, I
deem it necessary to recur to and con-
slider our present relations with Spain
in reference to the arbitrary seizure
and Withholding of estates and prop
erty of citizens of the United States in
Cuba by proceedings of confiscation or
embargo, so called. A separate in
struction was addressed to you, and
under date of the 9th, prior to your de-
parture for Madrid. l referred therein
to the general facts surrounding these
cases, to the arbitrary action of the au.
thorities, by which the property of
American citizens had been confisca-
ted, the general question of our rela-
tions with Spain, and to consider the
progress which has been made in dis
posing of outstanding questions which
for some time past have seriously
threatened the relations of the two
countries. At the time of your depar-
ture for Madrid, apart from the general
| question of the unsatisfactory condi-
tion of affairs in Cuba, and the failure
to suppress the rebellion, several prom
inent questions remained unadjusted,

Attack on the Steamship Company.

The little band of patriots who aired
their eloquence at the railroad mass
meeting on Thursday evening de-
nounced GooDALL, NELSON & PER-
KINs as slaves and their steamers as
"old tubs" liable to sink at any time.
Did we not know that the assemblage
was in no sense one of leading citi-
zens, and its expressions far from be-
ing an embodiment of the sentiments
of the people of this city, we should be
inclined to defend these gentlemen on
the ground that they have proven
themselves the friends of this city and
valley, and also to deny that they are
slaves or their steamers ''old tubs.n
Messrs. GooDALL, NELSON & PERKINS
have some claims OH the gratitude of
our people. At the expense of large
sum they relieved us of a monopoly
that had long sapped our prosperity,
and since they have held control of the
line they have been uniformly kind
and acoonlm dating. They have made
reductions in the rates for passengers
and freight that have saved shippers
and passengers many thousands of
dollars. They reduced passenger fare
from SIS to $l2. On up freight the re-
duction has been large. On grain the
aggregate reduction has saved farmers
and shippers an immense sum. On
wine-one of our chief exports-they
also made heavy reduction. They
have increased the number of steam
ers and greatly improved the accom-.
modations. AS to the bondage and
serfdom of these friends of our COM
munity we know nothing and shall
only say that while slavery is a mis-
fortune, ,ingratitude is written down as
one of the basest of crimes. If the
steamers are "old tubsn now what
must they have been some years ago?
Since Messrs. GooDALL, NELSON &
PERKINS purchased these steamers
they have expended on each from
$4,000 to SIS, 1000 in repairing and re-
building. 1t must also be remem-
bered that only few days ago experts
and competent judges testified before
the Senate investigating committee
that these steamers were good sea-
going vessels. Our citizens, almost
with one accord, express establishment
at the treatment the steamship com.
pany received at the hands of the ora
tors of the assemblage. 1t is also a
subject of remark that of the enthusi-
astic little band of thirty there was
but one regular shipper and he, we are
informed, ships more freight by way
of San Pedro than by Santa Monica.
We trust that these explanations will
convince Messrs. GoODALL, NELSON &
PERKINS and others abroad that the
true sentiments of Los Angeles were
not expressed at the "great mass meet
ing" of Thursday evening.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-01-22

accidental omission to peruse the edi-
torials of the paper in nquestion. Upon
the self-apparent fact that the parties
who are building what is miscalled
the Los Angeles and Independence
railroad, are great deal more inter-
ested in enhancing the value of thirty
five thousand acres of land lying
around Santa Monica than in the
prosperity of Los Angeles city and val
ley i; knowing that the appreciation of
the thirty-five thousand acres of land
will follow the building of the road
no matter by whom owned or controll-
ed, and having the assertion of a speak
er at a former meeting who avowed
his utterance to be er cathedra, that
the present owner of the road had his
price, and if we did not give it, there
was danger that it might De accept
ed from tho Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, the HERALD ventured to
suggest that before our citizens SUBJ
scribed over half a million dollars to
the roads stock, it might be we'll as a
precautionary measure to require some
assurance that the competing advan-
tages of the road would not be Destroy
ed through its transfer to the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company. This sug-
gestion was made in the kindliest spir-
it and intended to secure the people
the very object for which they SUBJ
scribe their money-a competing rail-
road-was not received in the sincere
and friendly spirit in which it was Of
fered, by those who are manipulating
the scheme and since, it has suited
their purpose to denounce the HER
AID as an enemy to railroad competl-
ton. We regret that our object has
been so seriously misunderstood, and
we regret that they who assure US
they are working for the best interests
of the country should become so indig-
nant over simple request that the
people should be secured against the
possible danger of losing through the
sale of the road the benefits OF that
competition, which is alone the in
ducement for them to become the pur-
chasers of 100000 worth of its
stock. If q request for this guar
antee of security to the people makes
the HERALD the enemy of the pro-
posed road-why enemy it is. But if
a sincere desire to secure as cOmpet-
ing road, one the people are asked to
assist in building, makes paper the
friend and advocate Of the best inter-
ests of the county, the HERALD is that
friend and advocate.
