THE CUBAN QUESTION.
The Matter to be Laid before Congress
Mt Once.

at Once.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-It is stated that the
replies of all the European powers to the Amer
lean note on Cuban matters have been received
by the President and that he will on Tuesday
next furnish to the Senate foreign committee
full statement of the negotiations. Subs aquent-
ly he will send to Congress his special message
on Cuban affairs.
Spain's Reply to the American Circular.
NEW YORK, San. 16.-The Herald's Madrid
special reports that the Spanish government
has sent out diplomatic note in reply to the
American circular on Cuban affairs. The re-
ply is quite belligerent In tone and takes high
ground on all the questions raised by the Unit
ed States. The note declares that the COM
merce between Cuba and the United States
has not suffered to any appreciable extent by
the instructions. Instead of having diminish
ed it had really increased and was constantly
increasing, so that the United States govern
ment had no occasion for comp plant, and no
ference in the affairs or troubles existing in
Cuba. Attention is also called to the fact that
many American citizens have established
themselves in business on the Island and being
unmolested by the Spanish government have
gained large individual fortunes. The fortunes
have not added to the material wealth of the
Island, being entirely in foreign hands.
The territory of the United States is cons
tant refuge for Cuban outlaws, who are per.
mtted there to hatch conspiracy to the detri-
ment and injury of the Spanish government.
In this the laws of nations are outraged ALI
just and equitable claims between the United
States and Cuba have been amicably and fully
satisfied or are in courts for adjustments.
Therefore there can be no cause for complaint
on that score.
The Spanish note is believed to be the work
of Senior Jovellar.
