The oua.hinc OF the sentences.

Madrid. May 13.-There has been intense
anxiety in political and military, and even
In financial circles, over the effect OF the
decision of the government to remit the
cases OF the convicted Americans found
on the Competitor to the supreme court
of naval and military appeals in Madrid.
with a view 10 quash the sentences passed
by the couri-martial. BY this act the
government admits that all American sub
jects are entitled to trial before courts Of
ordinary jurisdiction under the seventh
article OF the treaty OF 17ss and the treaty
OF 1877 between Spain and the Unhed
States. which the government comedies TO
be applicable to the case OF the Competitor.
The ministerial press have so clearly ex-
posed this novel aspect OF the affair and
have so plainly insisted upon the friendly
way In which the American government
simply insisted upon the execution OF the
treaties without challenging the right Of
Spain 10 chastise foreign offenders by her
ordinary courts Of justice. that the excite
ment has slightly subztied. despite the
efforts OF the jinso press. The result OF the
decision Of the Spanish government; Is to
postpone a fresh trial OF the Competitor
crew several months.

Washington City, May 1a-Among the
spectators at the unvefling Of the statue
OF Gen. Hancock was Senior Tomas Extra
da Palma, the representative OF the Cuban
republic in the United States. In talking
over the situation In Cuba, Mr.. Palma
said with evident eAruestness:
Il feel very much encouraged over the
outlook for the Cuban republic. Cones
with an army Is coming westward again.
and Garcia will soon follow with another.
II We could put. 20 900 rifles into Cuba the
war would be over IN six months. The
sentiments OF Americans and the attitude
OF the government of this country on the
Competitor affair are very gratifying to
US. think the United States government
IL being more and more convinced that the
methods SPAN IL pursuing In Cuba are
too Ubiquitous to be permitted to proceed
much longer.
The talk in the newspapers Of this
country and Europe Of Spain bringing the
war TO a close by giving Cuba some sort OF
home rule is as ridiculous a. are the Span
ish reports that Cuba was already about
TO be clothed in a benefcent garb OF re-
form when the war began. There viii
never be an end to the present war unless
1t comes with full independence for the
Cuban people. That ~ what the Cubans
are fighting for: that Is what they will
continue to fight for until II Is attained.
Spain r. in a most desperate condition
and Il growing weaker, while We are
growing stronger. Cuban freedom Ii as
sured as absolutely as any coming event
can be foreshadowed."
