MADRID, July LIN the Senate Prime
Minister Castillo stated hat Spain has
absolutely no intention of selling Cuba.
An important interview was had yester-
day between the American Minister, Eos
ter, and Castillo and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The Spanish Ministers
showed a desire to arrive at an equitable
commercial arrangement. Foster assured
them America was animated with AMIGA
bic views regarding trade with Cuba and
as far as possible would feel inclined to
meet the views of Spain and Cuba. He
declared hat America had no desire to
annex Cuba now, nor at any future time.
America had no wish to assume further
political responsibilities. He thought,
however, that something must be done
for Cuba quickly. Mexico was already
importing sugar into America free. I'm
less Cuba and the English West Indies
secured equal terms it was evident their
best market was lost.

Awkward State of Affairs.

MILES CRY, Mont, July 1.-The
committee appointed by the citizens of
eastern Montana to-day telegraphed
Secretary Teller urging the immediate
removal Of the northern Cheyenne Indians
now on the Tongue and Rosebud. There
are now more than nine hundred without
%rations, starving, with nothing to subsist
on except range cattle, which they are
killing in large numbers. The stockmen
will make armed resistance if not moved,
and the result will be serious trouble with
the Indians, who are independent and
ugly. The Indians are renegades from
Pine Ridge, They have no agency or
agent here. Situation is serious.

KEY WEST, July l.-Diaz, u Cuban,
who returned in the schooner Shavers,
was convicted to-day Of violating the neu-
trality laws by aiding in fitting an armed
expedition against a friendly power. The
jury was out only sufficiently long to take
a good dinner. A curious feature of this
Aguero matter has been made public to-
day. Among the papers left here by him
was a letter from a prominent and infu-
entail Spaniard who had Travelled
with Aguero from New Orleans
to Key West and then proceeded to Ha-
v4na, leaving Aguero here. During the
voyage the matter of the contemplated
raid was discussed, the Spaniard endeav-
oring to disuade Aguero on account of the
disturbed condition Of Cuba, and assuring
him large sums Of money would be
contributed by Havanese for his bene-
fit, in which the government would
probably join il he would desist
from his purpose. The letter states the
writer had been Captain General Castillo,
who had said such matters were not 30
arrayed, hat he had at heart only the
peace, happiness and prosperity of the
c ,untry, but if the statements were made
through proper diplomatic channels and
guarantees given, or some legalized
method adopted of reaching the matter, it
might be considered. Augero replied
saying that simultaneous with the receipt
of the letter he should be in Cuba ready
to continue the correspondence. The
government officials are informed that the
vessel had left the Northern Port with a
large quantity of ammunition on board.
The plan is for the vessel to run into
Hillsborough Inlet and there be met by a
small craft, which will land the stores at
Torch Key or Sugar Loaf, where they
propose to establish a secret magazine.
