New York, March 1.-THE Recorder
will tomorrow publish the following dis
patches from Washington, d. c.: Spain
has replied to Secretary Gresham's de-
mand. A dispatch was received tonight
that, so far as it goes, is entirely salts
factory to the United States. 1t is a re-
sponse to the last part OF Secretary
Gresham's dispatch, in which he insists
that immediate and positive orders be
given to Spanish naval commanders not
to interfere with legitimate American
commerce passing through that CWind-
ward) channel. and prohibiting all acts
lawfully under the flag OF the United
States
That part of the dispatch which re-
fers to the firing upon the Alliance Is re-
served for future reply, after an investi.
cation by Spain into the circumst tances
that surround it.
There Is no doubt in the minds Of
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
substances Of Spain's response TO the
President as soon as it had been trans
lated. but he was unwilling to give it
out for publication.
1T 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 wat
ers not to interfere with legitimate Amer
lean commerce, and to use every pre-
caution to avoid international conplica-
tions by an exercise OF undue zeal"

ment of Claims.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE pub
lished diplomatic correspondence of
the state department for the last year
shows that up to it's close the United
States government had been successful
in securing the submission to another
commission of the Chilian claims that
were left undisposed of by the termina-
ton of the last claims commission, be-
fore it could pass upon all of the cases
presented.
The Chilian government last spring
declined to extend the commission
which Secretary Gresham had asked,
whereupon Secretary Gresham sug-
gesred the creation of another COM
mission to hear these cases. June 5
last, Mr.. Carr, then in charge of the
United States embassy succeeding Mr..
Porter, wrote that Chilli had agreed
to discuss the creation of another COM
mission through its diplomatic repre-
sentative in Washington. He followed
this upon July % last, by transmitting
a proposition of the Chilian govern
ment to adjust the remaining claims
on both sides on the basis of a pro-,
rata existing between the amount al
lowed and the amount claimed in the
cases disposed of by the original COM
mission. Secretary Gresham declined
this. Then the Chilian minister to the

Willingness of his government to Gre

pondence closed with note from Sec
retary Gresham, dated Dec. %, last,
calling attention to the fact that the
misunderstanding touched not the ne
cessity of disposing of the unfinished
work Of the last commission, but only
the proper methods of accomplishing
that necessary result, and urging the
Chilian government again to carry out
the purposes of the arbitration, which
provided for the adjudication of the
claims by a commission.

CALL CoyETs CUBA.
Florida Senator Says the United

Florida Senator Says the United
States Ought to Aid Insurgents.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-When
Senator Call. of Florida, who has
taken an active interest in the Cuban
cause, was asked today if he consid-
cred it probable that the United States
would take any steps looking to the
recognition of Cuban independence. he
replied that he thought that this coun-
try should not only recognize the inde-
pendence of the island, but that.i it
should guarantee the bonds of an In
dependent government. He said that
he had given Secretary Gresham his
views on this point, but that he had
not received any assurance from Sec
retary Gresham that such a course
would be pursued. The senator stated
that it was his understanding that al
most the entire population of the ISL
and, including large majority of the
rich planters, outside of few full
blood Spaniards and possibly some
residents of Havana, were committed
to the cause of independence, and ex-
pressed the opinion that they could
raise an army of 200,O 600 or 100000 men,
who would be efficient if they could Sc
cure supplies Tor their SuStendnce and
military equipment. He added that
the revolutionists had some competent
leaders, and he was quite sure they
would make a determined effort to
secure their liberty. Mr.. Call also said
that there were a great many sympa-
thizers with the Cuban cause in this
state, where there are large number
of native Cubans, and he said he had
no doubt that the native Cubans,
wherever found in that country, would
aid to the extent of their ability in
furnishing the means for carrying on
the struggle. He added that there
were many wealthy men among them.
