Washington, D. c., March o9.-Reports
that the Spanish government is taking
steps to meet the requests of the United

commander of the offending Spanish
cruiser has been relieved from his ship
and that orders have been sent to the
)ther Spanish commanders i'll Cuban
waters to observe the requirements of in
,ernational law and refrain from im>
proper interference with the ships of the
United States or other nations has caused
much qualification in official circles here.
Although the state department officials
decline to admit the fact. there is reason
to bel:eye that these matters have been
communicated to them either through
United States Minister Taylor at Madrid
or through Senior Muruaga. the resident
Spanish minister here. There is now no
disposition in any quarter to doubt that
the Spanish assurances are satisfactory

will yield to adjustment by ordinary
diplomatic methods.
There is little doubt that the new Span
ish minister, Senior De LONE, will go to
Cuba before coming here. The effect of
minister in the United States for the
next two weeks. The new minister could
not reach here by that time if he came
direct and as he will wait to go with a
troopship to Cuba it will take consider
able time for him 10 raach the United
States. The Spanish legation will be un-

to leave Florida for Cuba. From the
Spanish standpoint the instruction has
been recognized as existing and report
concerning it have been made to the
state department. The Spanish govern

istence of the instruction as 1t has IN

Spanish treaty which protects American

treason or conspiracy, against trial 10y
