WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The state department has received dispatch from Minister Taylor at Madrid. The Spanish government has given assur- ance to the United States that there will be no more repetition of such of lenses as the firing upon the mail steamer Allianca. The reply of the Spanish government is couched in cour- teous and temperate phrases, and eX- presses the determInation of Spain to avoid further cause of complaint on the part of the American government.
 As to the attempted detention of the Allianca, the Spanish minister of foreign affairs says he is yet without information, and adds that as soon as he shall have received a report from the captain-general of Cuba concerning that incident a reply will be made to the demand made in Secretary Gresh- am's telegram.
 While the officials of the state de- partment are unwilling to say any thing whatever concerning the con- tents of Minister Taylor's cablegram, it is believed the foregoing is fairly accurate interpretation of the dispatch. It will be noted that the Spanish govern ment promptly complies with one of the most importanto of Secretary Gresham's lemand which was for immediate as surance" that the war vessels patrol ing Cuban waters should not give further offense in the manner com nl ainnI of in tho A1lionoa ofair AS to the other demand made by Sec -etary Gresham that the Spanish government should promptly express it's regrets for the attempted detention of the Allianca, Minister Taylor re- spends stating the willingness of the Madrid government to respond thereto n due time, should the facts on inves- ;igation prove to be in accordance with the representations made by the United States.
