THE HAVANA PRESS on THE CUBAN POLICY OF
THE UNITED STATES.

HAVANA, Jan. 2.-The Did,io de Ia Marina, in
leading editorial, says We repeat that the
Spanish Government should proceed with dig
nifty, preserving its independence and giving
Secretary Fish the check he merits if he pretends
to NEEDLE with our internal affairs but what we
consider most singular, strange and even repug-
nant in the field OF fair dealing is the issuing by
Secretary Fish OF his circular note to the foreign
powers on the same day that President Grant
told Congress he would recur to friendly media
ton collective intervention ia spain could
not soon suppress the rebellion in Cuba.
The qualification which this conduct merits is
80 severe that We don't care to express it. Per-
sons exist who need severe lessons in order to
make them act sensible. President Grant occu-
pyiDg prominent place among them. We ex-
pect all the European governments to follow
England's example, and make him understand
at once that the principles Of international rights
are not dead letter.
Secretary Fish has offered European govern
ments magnificent opportunity to defend, in
America. with permanent interest, the high
rules Of justice
The I'oz Dc CuJa is silent with regard to the
attitude of the United States. The course of the
American Government is widely and variously
on by the other journals and the
people generally. {

have been made by the United States anc
Mexican Commission have sold their claims al
large discount one gentleman submitting
to a deduction of about One-third OF the en-
tire amount.
Counsel who have business before the COM
mission Say that the sum awarded TO Mexican
citizens will probably be So, OOO, OOO and that
to citizens OF The United States between five
and six millions
Accordiig to the terms of the treaty the
United States will give credit to the Mexican
Government for the amount which will finally
be awarded to its citizens to be paid to them
by Mexico and the sum due by Mexico to the
citizens of the United States will be paid to
this government in annual instalm snts of
$30O,0 900 in gold, or its equivalent until the

These are easy terms for Mexico, instead of

our own government The decisions are
