Hon. K. w. Thompson, of Indiana, address
ed the President in behalf of the Committee
referring to the recent convention held in
aid of the Texas Pacific r, R., by whose di-
rectlon the committee appears to present
the action of that body TO the President and
to the United States. He briefly reviewed
the enactments that gave that enterprise a
truly national importance, apart from the
interest of any particular section, and es-
peClally in reference to the development of
the interior of the continent.
The President replied that he had seen
the proceedings of the convention, and as
the matter was in the hands of Congress,
he did not desire to express any opinion on
the pending memorial
The building of railroad across the con-
lnent by the proposed route was work of
great importance, particularly as affording
a competing line to the road now in exist
ence, and so secure cheap rates; he did not
know what Congress would do. but he
hoped the road will be built.
Mr.. Thompson presented the President
with handsomely engrossed copy of the
resolutions and printed copy of the pro-
ceedings, and then withdrew.
OUR SPANISH RELATIONS.
The Cuban correspondence shows the last
letter of Mr.. Fish to Mr. Cushing, of Nov.
9TH, reviewing the situation of affairs,
He says it is now the desire of
this Government to satisfactorily adjust
all questions; and in this desire we have
been patient almost to the limits of endu-
rance. He insists that the Spanish will
bring Gen. Burriel to trial in accordance
with the protocol; that in reference TO all
the pending questions, the relations of this
with Spain are endangered by de-
lay and that is to all equality. The Span
sh government should be informed that
the maintenance OF good relations with this
government depends on an early, satisfacto-
~ and conclusive adjustment. A telegram
from Cushing, Nov. 10th, says the Spanish
government repeats the assurance of the
trial of Burrel. The correspondence
shows that the Secretary of State
seEt copies of the instructions of Cushing to
Dur ministers at London, Paris, Berlin,
Vienna, st. Petersburg and ROme-the OBJ
ect being to ascertain whether the Foreign
would sustain the United
States in its policy regarding Cuban affairs.
There is nothing to show that any of the
governments assented. The Ministers re-
spectiyely read the instructions to the gov
to which they were accredited
and noted the replies. There is nothing
now in the correspondence later than the
oth of December.
