STAINS ANSWER
To the American Demand Entirely Satis-
 factory to MT. Gresham.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-The Recorder to-day published the following dis patches from Washington, D. C.:
 "Spain has replied to Gresham's de- mand. A dispatch was received to- night that so far as it goes, is en- tirely satisfactory to the United States. It is a response to the last part of Secretary Gresham's dispatch in which he insists that immediate and positive orders be given to Span ish naval commanders not to inter- fere with legitimate American com merce passing through that(Windward) channel and prohibiting all acts wan tonly imperilling life and property lawfully under the flag of the United States.
 That part of the dispatch which re- fers to the firing upon the Allianca is reserved for future reply, after an in- vestigation by Spain into the circum- stances that surround it.
 "There is no doubt that in the minds oy the president and the secretary of state that this will receive prompt disavowal as an unauthorized act and that a due expression of regret on the part of Spain will be forthcoming.
 "Secretary Gresham communicated the substance of Spain's response to the president as soon as it had been translated, but he was unwilling to give it out for publication.
 "It is understood, however, that the dispatch conveyed the information that orders had been issued to the commanders of the Spanish men-of- war in Cuban waters not to interfere with legitimate American commerce, and to use every precaution to avoid international complications by an ex- | ercise of undue zeal. -
