Violate. Our Ifeaty.
New YORK. Oct - special to the
World from Washington says the re-
cent excited dispatches from Madrid
are explained by hcts revealed
in Washington. Whit this gov
eminent has done has been to
formally notify the tSpanish gov
ernment that action recently taken by
IL in Havana is in violation of the
treaty rights of this cotntry, and that
for any damage to American citizens
or American dignity arising there
from Spain will be h4d responsible.
The circumstances are Is follows:
Since Consul General Williams compelled
Capt. Gen. Calleja, while governor general Of
Cuba, e recognize the trsaty Of 1871 In the
case OF Julio Sanquilly, and by so doing
prevented the trial OF the after by military
court in Havana last February, the
Spanish government hts been FESTIVE
over the question OF Mr4 Williams dIplo-
matte authority. Senior Cafovas, the Spanish
prime minister, after thek subject was fully
considered at a meeting Of the Spanish minis
try at which he presideV decided TO deprive
Mr.. Williams OF all Diplomatic authority
and confine him strictly ID the pcrely COM
mercial or consular privileges OF his ONCE.
Accordingly the Spanish minister OF the
colonies instructed Gen. Tampos to inform
Mr.. Williams that heneefdfth he would not be
recognized as possessing any authority TO
transact business with tn governor general
Of Cuba upon other than efmmercial matters
Gen. Campos sent for Nd Williams recently
and communicated to M the instruction
from Spain
Secretary Olney 5raightway pre-
pared state paper I'M which he disa-
greed entirely with Il De conclusion of
the Spanish minister. frhe action OF the
latter was based on tlf consular treaty
existing between Spaih and the United
States. From this treaty, signed in 1879,
consular officers did ND receive authori-
ty to cover any diplomatic questions.
The treaty with Spaili however, speci-
ties that United Stats consular otfi-
GERS shall have all THO rights and priv
ileges of 1.-THE most Favored nation"
This affords the basisffor Secretary Oh
ney's demand. The herman govern
ment has consular treaty with Spain
in which consuls andI consul generals
