WASHINGTON.
Confirmation Of Reported Firing on
American Vessels by Spain.

WASHINGTON, July q. Dispatches re-
ceived from Minister Faircbild remove all
doubts as 10 American vessels being fired on
by Spanish naval vessels. The Spanish an-
thorities, while dsavowiDg the act, claim
they have right to fire upon suspicious yes
sells, whether carrying the American flag or
not, within two marine miles of the Cuban
shore. Rear Admiral Wyman. commanding
the North Atlantic squadron, has been or
dered to Havana without delay, to further
ascertain and report upon the facts connected
with the detention of the Merritt and New
comb.
The vessel which fred on two American
schooners in Cuban waters was the Canto. a
small screw steaper Of the Spanish navy.
No formal presentation of the case will be
made to the Spanish government uEtil the
report of Admiral Wyman, who was yester
day ordered with the Tennessee to Havana,
has been secured. 1t is expected the Span
ish AUTHORITIES will set up in justification a
claim that they have always made it their
right to fire on or detain suspicious vessels
within two marine leagues of their shores.
| As our government has always resisted this
| claim, there is reason to suppose no depart
ure will be made in the present case from its
usual policy.

reports that the prosperity of the Maine sum-

Sunday there were Isl persons on Ocean

fact that but three years ago party of pion-
GERS from this city visited that spot and Sc
lected 1t as the site for summer colony, the
contrast is striking There is but one unoc-
cupied cottage at the Point, and that will be

Those who are inside the ring seem to
think that change is coming over the spirit
of the fusionists' dreams since the last slate
was made up. 4 cloud which then looked
no larger than mans hand is beginning to
overspread their whole horizon. One week
ago the Journal published a correct account
of the field as it then appeared but things
have changed little since the Portland con-
ference. S. S. Brown has been labored with
and thinks that perhaps his cuisines will
allow him to be a candidate. after all. Hob
son and White are both hard at work. The
democrats think that the greenbackers are
claiming too much, and we have heard it
asserted that they swear to have a democrat
run for Congress in this district or smash
things up. Both parties have conference
in this city next Tuesday. The Gardiner
and Augusta conventions are both to be held
the same day, and probably run by telephone.
1t is reported that the democrats have a
| clark horse candidate in Augusta with
bigger barrel than White or Hobson. The
leaders are in daily consultation, but we
should not be surprised if the ''happy family
were embreled in quarrel over the nomina-
| ton for Congress.
