Spain must immediately pay the Mora
 claim of one and one half million dollars
 or severe measures will be taken for col
 lection.
 Antonio Maxine Mora was an Ameri-
 can citIz n owning vaiuabls sugar prop
 erty in Cuba. During an insurrection
 in that island it was selzed by the Span
 ish government and, in the abseuce of its owner, he was condemned and the property confsoated. Before Spain ad-
 mitted its error in thus treating an Am
 erican ci ,izeh and hls property there had
 been collected from the estate nearly 52,5OO,OOO. When it was seen that the United States government was deter
 mined there should be a settlement
 the Spanish government off-red a com
 promise. In place Of the absolute in debtedness to Mora, which was admit- ted by the offer of compromise, SpaIn agreed to pay the sum of S1 100000 with interest on such part of i,s indemnity
 award as should be deferred.
 Minister Taylor at Madrid has been
 informed by telegraph of the ins stence of the United States upon the prompt payment of the indemnity, and has been directed to press for settlement and i'm
 mediate payment regardless of the ac- tion by the proposed claims convention. This dispatch was sent to Miuisie CT Fay Tor several days ago. The subletter of instructions will be ID his hands ID a day or two at the farthest.
 The expectation is that there will be ,f and payment at once. Should the Span ish neglect to properly impress upon ,he cortes the importance of granting the necessary tnnds, or the cortes refuse to allow an appropriation for Mora, the United States government, in self res pect, would be constrained to try other means to secure payment. It may be- come necessary to occupy Havana end to refain control of the custom houses there until an amount equal to the Mors indemnity has been collected. Thls could be done without offense to inter national law. if the United States were not opposed by superior fleet and mll- tsry force in Havana. If it should be objected to by Spain that this is an awk- ward time for an embarrassed govern ment to receive and tsin such a demand as that just sent to Madrid. Il IS plain that Spain has provided its own em 5arrassment by presumiuR upon our good nature and tolerstion, rather than impertinent neglect and arrogance. If Span cared as much for it's own self respect and our good opinion as it does for the possession of Cuba, it would have paId the Mora indemnity years ago. Leaving 1t to be settled as it must he
 now, it will bt difficult to avoid the con :iusion that the payment of the award is
 ilso the purchase of our abstentiop from
 practical intervention op behalf of the
 Cuban insurgents.
