NOPE light ON THE KINGS SPEECH.
Washington, May 12.-It is asserted that wneh
the Official cores pOndence TeIatlHS " '"e NO'''
natitor incident is made public il Will be found
that the action Of the Spanish Cabinet in direct
ipr that the proceedings Of the court-martiai
should be forwarded to Madrid for revision
cbough only announced by our State Depart
men. yesterday was actually taken on FRIDAY
last and that Minister Hannis Taylor promptly
communicated the fact to Secretary Olhey.
Some OF the passages in the Spanish speech from
the throne referring 10 the United states: When
more carefully translated than was possible IN
the hasty transcript obtainable yesterday, VIII

Efsat assistance IT has received from abroad
(neaning the United States), from those who nave
been deceived into favoring the revclutionists by
false statements Of the political situation In cuba
and who have also been persuaded that the pol

mears by which other rebellions in America anc
Europe animated by higher aims and with more
reasona BILE probabilities Of creating new CIVILIZED
nation, have been pursued to success. Even this
help (the address continues) would have been in
sufficient but for the "chimerical hope spread
among the insurgents that A great nation vii
take q hand In their illegitimate and powerles:
cause In manifest violation Of public rights
that is to say that the United States will accord
rights to Cuba.
The promises Of autonomy TO Cuba and Porto
Rico held out in the message are identical with
those foreshadowed in these dispatches Of May 3
