CAN0VAS AND CASTELAR,
SENATOR MORGAN PAYS HIS RE-
SPECTS 10 SPANISH STATESMEN.

Incidentally He Refers to President Cleve-
lands Policy, Which is so Favorably
Viewed in Spain-Why This is So the
Senator Explains Why Intervention by
the United States is Feared in Spain.
Washington, Dec. 29.-Speaking of
the recent dispatches from Spain, and
particularly of the purported authoriz-
ed statements by Canovas, the present
prime minister, and CASTELAR,, the eX-
president of the Spanish republic, Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama, formerly
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations said to-day that he thought
it was easy to detect the motives that
inspired CASTELAR, to speak with so
much warmth.
Predicating his observations on the
history of the previous Cuban insurree-
tion, which resulted in the establish
ment of the Spanish republic and the
elevation of CASTELAR, to the presidency,
Senator Morgan dictated the following
statement:
"Castelar is N quite a ferocious mood,
if the newspaper accounts are true. He
seems to be affected with the same des-
perate desire for the liberty of all Sapn-
iards, except the Cubans, that caused
him to fake advantage of the former
insurrection in the island to create
republic in the peninsula.
"Canovas seems to be much more
conservative in his uttsrances shan
CASTELAR,. He is engaged in the double
task Of watching the Cubans and Cas-
telar. Both parties in Spain are eSclt-
ed with a great accession of patrlotlc
affiatus and are trying to arouse ma
tive indignation against the Cuban ap-
peal to the world for humanity in their
government.
Spain" continued Senator Morgan,
appreciates the compliment tf Mr.. OIL
ney when he compares Spanish meth
DDS Of warfare IL Cuba With those OF
the Spanish-American republic, to the
advantage of Spain. Spain admires
the harmless gasconade which our rul-
ers copy from that country, and exploit
in warnings and threats against the
aggressor when our people are outrag-
ed. imprisoned and butchered under the
accusation of insurrecton, whether
Lney are letkluS pdll VI @iN iASosA'A', -
an open public war in which more
than 100000 soldiers are arrayed in hos
tile armies.
Both parties in Spain are pleased
with our presidents pacific temper un-
der these slight provocations. We are
left to enjoy the boon of peace and
safety by both parties in Spain, SO
long as the president can be felied
upon to hold congress in the leash.
che glorious constitution Of the
United states borrowed from Germany
says CASTELAR,, has given splendid ie-
suits. For one thing, it has assured us
from the recognition of belligerency or
independence of a republic that has no
existence; and is shielding us from the
craziest Of resolutions, which can only
have the inevitable effect of bringing
on a war
CAS- there is in his opinion, and in
that Of the president, said Mr.. Morgan,
only an insurrention' in Cuba, they are
both opposed to war because it's effect
will be suppression of the most Grim
inal and bloody strife in Cuba, that has
disgraced the annals of the nineteenth
century, if the presidents story of that
'insurrection' is to be credited as he
states it in his message to congress.
| The entente cordiale that&evidently eX-
lists between the crowned and the un-
crowned heads that decree Cuban ex-
| termination seems to be perfect, except
| in one essential particular They must
| now arrange for new date at which
| the effort of Spain to destroy Cuba
shall cease, and Spain will have the in
| the United States.
"Castelar will have no intervention
by the United States" said Mr.. Nor
gan, in conclusion. "He says liberal
governmental like ours cannot learn from
outsiders it's faults in governing the an
rude interruption of the plan of Olney
| and Canovas may decide our president
to prefer a republic in Cuba to a resto-
ration Of the republic of the former
revolution in Spain. Castelar's holy
wrath at the Cleveland and Canovas
combination, concealed beneath his
| pretended Indignation towards the jim
goes who advocate war; may force the
compatriots to dissolve their alliance
! to bring peace to Cuba, along with
slavery, after death has cleared the
| Cuban mountains and forests of the
| brave men who love liberty.
Castelar, has detected our play
| in Spanish intrigues and has put his
foot down on Mr.. Olney."
