THE sANGUILY CASE.
It Is Presented In Pamphlet Form.
UNFOLDING Cleveland.


UNFOLDING Cleveland.
Washington, Oct 6-The celebrated
case of Julio sanguily is presented in
pamphlet issued today by Sanguily'3
counsel here. Jose Rodriguez. II tells
the story II detail and gives a number
Of letters passing between Secretary Oh
ney, Senator Sherman, Consul General
Lee and the United States minister at
Madrid. Mr. Hannis TAYLOR As
whole, the document uphOlds the course
Of President Cleveland and Secretary
Olney and points out that the agitation
in Sanguiiy's behalf in congress served
only To prejudice his case.
After stating that the attention Of
congress Was not attracted to SansJily
until the very moment in which,
through sldllful diplomatic manage
ment, the release OF Sanguily from i'm
prisonment without further suffering or
humiliation had been secured, the Wri-
ter says:
But that moment was one Of extreme
perriexity which the friends of San
gully viii not easily forget. Though
an exuherant effusion of patriotic zeal
and noble though misguided senti-
ment Of generous compassion. a condi-
ton OF things which might have proved
fatal, was created at once. A measure

at liberty was being carried into exc
outiou.
Thanks TO divine providence and
other agencies. the crisis was averted
and the gracious act Of the queen re-
gent could be carried into effect in IA
vana without the slightest difficulty"
The conclusion Of the pamphlet says
in part:
The Sanguily case reveals that 4
feeling Of Geep-rooteG, almost inyinci-
BE distrust, is the privileged element
in the relations between Spain and Gu
la It bears testimony, exactly the
same as the Cuban problem. 10 the fact
that all questions concerning the action

al Attempts to force upon the admins

tate the manner and form in which its
duty must be performed, is foolish in
the extreme and dangerous, even # il

After d discussion which continued
fer several days the chamber of depu-
ties of Peru adopted the gold standard
by majority of one vote. The plan
for a gold standard was sent to the
chamber some time ago, after it had
been approved by the president and

this was the only possible solution to
the financial troubles which beset Peru
on every side
There was long fight over the ques-

The marrow margin of their victory
shows how persistently the question
was contested.

BMBARRAssEs HER MINISTER.

Mr.. Gladstone was the queens prime
minister in June, 1885, and by the con-
stitution the recipient of her present
condolences; yet she was at this time
writing to Lord Tennyson on political
topics in q letter which is Withheld,
but which, as Lord Ternysons reply
suggests, was in opposition to Mr
Glad5tGne's views. Again in April 1886,
two days after Ndr. Gladstone again as
the queens first minister introduced
the home rule bill in the commons, the
queen writes:
u cannot in this letter auude to poll
tics, but l know what your feelings
must be" which Lord Tennyson ac-
cepts in his reply as a reference to 'the
disastrous policy of the day" aud de-
clares he would die rather than see the
rebellious royalists of Ulster repressed.
This evidence Of the queen stepping
outside her constitutional advisers to
condemn the Irish cause, and possibly
embarrass her minister, will certainly
cause much pain in Ireland, if it does
not create political troubles. Even the
Times questions whether it is discreet
to publish the letters.
