The AInskan Trnntr.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2.-1he new treaty
relative to the Alaskan boundary has been
sent to the senate and examined by a mum
ber of senator's. II was discussed to some
extent in connection with the arbitration
treaty. Several senators said that the Alas
kan treaty settled none Of the real ques
tions at issue and Tint it simply provided
for commission TO determine an astro
nomical linc-a lire If longitude which
might be found by competent surveyors.
AS TO what is the shore line and Other
questions of dispute they will remain un-
determined after the commission provided
for in the present treaty has concluded its
duties. Those who are opposed TO the gen.
eral arbitration treaty say that the princi-
pal disputes over the Alaskan boundary
remain to be determined undor the gener.
al arbitration treaty. Since the general
treaty as amended has been reported 70
the senate considerable discussion has been
quietly going on as to the possibility Of its
ratification

Secretary Of State Olney,
According to ndyices received here the
consul was expecting several dispatches
from the department OF state in reference
TO certain important matters affecting the
relations of spain and the United States
He learned that the dispatches had been
forwarded, and when they did not arrive
in due course he made inquiries
He learned that the dispatches had
reached Sagua Ia Grande, but had been
seized. opened and read by the spanish au-
thorties
Consul Barker was very indignant and
called on the Spanish oommandant and
demanded the dispatches. That official re
fused TO give them up and diu so In an in
sulting manner
The Spaniarls kept the dispatches near
ly week and treated Consul Bnrkcrs
complaints with contempt Finally, after
the documents had been copied, the Span
iards turned them over to the consul.
The latter i'm the meanwhile had writ
ten strong letter so Secretary Olney, re-
counting the circumstances and saying
that II the United States proposed to per-
NIT its representative to be insultcd with
impunity he would resign
Captain General Woyler heard OF the
matter and ordered the Sagua Ia Grande
authorities to apologize to Barker, which
they did, but the angry consul would not
accept the apology and said he had refer
red the matter 20 his government.
This Is the first known case whore tho
Spanish officials have opened state depart
ment lctters, but Americans in Havana

war began lt is stated on the authority
of one close TO Consul General Lee that
his mail has been frequently tampered
