comment the correspondence called for
by tho senate at the instance of Senator
Hoar relative to the attempt at mediation
made by the United States Government.
during the course OF the preceding rebel
lion in Cuba. The correspondence covers
the period from Nov. 5, 1875, to August,
1S76f, and comprises about 400 tpyewrit-
engages. A great part of 1t has already
been made public, some of 1t in Whar-
toms digest of International Law and
some in correspondence formerly supplied
to Congress in confidence, but afterward
made public.
The leading feature is the letter of Sec
retary Fish to United States Minister
Caleb Cushing at Maorid In 1876. setting
out at great length the evils of the situa-
tion as il then existed in Cuba, and sug-
gesting many radical reforms that the
Spanish government should put into
operation in Cuba to correct these abuses.
Copies of the note were submitted to
all of the courts OF Europe, apparently
to pave the way for the Intervention that
was limited at In it, IL Spain failed to
profit by the suggestions OF Mr.. Fish, but
the concluding chapters OF the CORE
spondence show, as Is well known, now
that the effort to intervene came to
naught.
