VIENNA, Jan. 4. - The Spanish Cabinet
learned, from a confidential qusrter in the
middle of December, the contents OF the cir
cular note of the United States to the European
Powers, regarding Cuba. Spain thereupon in
structed her representatives to explain to the
various governments that the Cuban question
was not only of American. but OF European
interest, and that complications between the
United States and Spain might have incalcu-
liable consequences for Europe, as they would
encourage the Carlists to make q prolonged
resistance and revive the hopes of the FEEDER
atists, Republicans and Socialists. The Aus
trian Government receives these declarations

THE CITY or waco DISASTER.

NEW YORK, Jan. Supervising Steamboat
Inspector Addison Low, Of this District, has
sent his report on the burning of the City of
Waco, off Galveston, on the night of Novem-
Der 9Th last, by which forty-nine lives were
lost, to Washington.
After receiving the testimony, he says that
the conclusion of the Local Board of Calves
ton, to the effect that the fire originated in
the ships cargo from some material that
would ignite by friction or from spontaneous
combustion, and that coming in contact with
some substance it caused an explosion, kill
ing or stunning the passengers SO that if any
escaped there was no chance of saving their
lives in such sea as was then running, was
justified in some respects by the testimony.
He says Ike burning off of the foremost
under the deck, and length of time it would
take to do this, is conclusive evidence that
the fire originated under the deck and burned
for some time before being discovered. He
thinks it would have been good Judgment on
the part Of the captain to have kept the ship
underway, steaming off and on until he could
have crossed the bar in safety.
He concludes that Messrs. Mallory & Co.,
agents of the line, are liable to the penalties
OF law for carrying petroleum, and calls the
attention of the department to the unsatisfac-
tory and indefinite provisions OF the law in
relation to the transportation Of that article.
