TUESDAY, Der. 22.-The interest taken in
Spain in the policy and purposes of the
United States toward Cuba is indicated by
The arrival here Of Senior Tesifonte GalIigeo,
q special correspondent Of El HtreIdo de
Madrid, one of the leading papers of the
Spanish Capital, who comes for the purpose
OF canvsssing the sentiment among leading
public men here. Senior Galligco sought to
secure an interview with President Cleve-
aand and Secretary Olney. but did not sue
coed, owing TO the departure Of the former
for Atlanta and the engagements OF Mr..
Oiney. 1T is my personal opinion he said,
" that if Spain does not succeed in terminal
ing the insurrection by next Spring, when
the dry season closes, she will be confronted
with the grave danger of losing the Island of
Cuba altogether. BY that time it will be
difficult, If not impossible 10 prevent the
recognition by the United States of the
Cubans as bellieerents, for the American peo-
pie are being awakened TO the fact that
Spain proclaimed her recognition of the
Southern Confederacy within eight weeks
from the day Fort Sumter fred ON

missioner LamereauI says that the worst
timber 6ePredatious the Interior Department
has to contend with is in the mining districts,
where the law allows timber to he cut for
mining purposes. The Office is in constant
reeeipt of complaints that the men eperat-
ing the mines are stripping the public lands

mining property, in Montana has cut about
$4,000. 600 feet of timber. The Commissioned
