MADRID, Oct lS-The impartial
says that Spain should demand of the
United States an explanation of the
dispatch from Washington published
by the New York Herald, to the
effect that unless Spain ends tie war
in Cnba before Jan. lst, President
Cleveland will recognize the inde-
pendence of the insurgents. The
impartial adds that the neutrality ob
served at the ports Of the United
States is an odious fiction and that
there is continual copnivance at fiji
clustering. 1t recalls that the Ameri.
can consul general at Habana pro.

know how to mark the difference be
