President Cleveland aud the other mem
bers of the administration are entirely satis-
fed with the present state ofthe various dip
lomatic complications. The new ministry of
Spain has sent a communication explaining
the delay in replying to secretary Gresham's
demand in the Alliance case, and it is prob
able that the demanded apology will speed
ily follow there has been a decided let down
in the attitude of the British government as
10 its dealings with Nicaragua and Venezue-
Ia since President Cleveland instruced am
bassador Bayard to inform the British for
eign Office that if it violated the Monroe doc
trine in its dealings with those countries the
United States would forcibly interfere, and
all of the other complications are being
pushed To a satisfactory settlement.
According to the latest advIces from Ger
MANY, President CIeveland's determination
not to appoint delegates to the expected
monetary conference, because OF the great
difference between the avowed purposes
for which it was proposed to hold
the conference and those of confer
ence which the Wolcott amendment 10 the
Sundry Civil appropriation bill authorized
the United States to take part in, was unnec-
essary. IL seems that the government OF
Germany has been engaged in little game
of blucumbe, for The purpose OF placatIng
the bl.metallIsts over there who have been
making themselves troublesome. and that 1t
has NO real intention of inviting the powers
10 attend a monetary conference.
Ii there were the same number of changes
in the diplomatic corps every week that have
been announced during the week just endeu
IL would only take n few weeks to change the
whole corps. One ambassador and touI
ministers represent the week s changes, not
10 mention the small Try.
