CAPT. EMILIO DIAZ MOREU of
the Spanish warship Cristobal
Colon. which was sunk 10y
Schley at Santiago, intimates
that the destruction of his ship
was not caused by the Brook
Iyn and Oregon. but by internal
causes; that he could and
would have escaped from the
Brooklyn and Oregon; that he
was gaining on them when it
became necessary for him to
beach his ship. He refuses to
tell now what he intimate :, but
says he will tell what he knows
on the floor of the cortes. as he
is a member of the Spanish
parliament. He has been per-
mitted to go home at once to
meet with the cortes. He is
very bitter on Capt. Sigsbee
and says he knows that the
Spaniards did not blow up the
Maine; that his officers were
ashore drunk when the ship
blew up, and that while the
Spanish crew of the Colon was
saving the Americans from
the burning Maine the officers
renamed ashore in a debauch /;
that Slgsbee wept like a child
in Capt. Eulate's cabin in the
Vizcaya. saying his career j.,
life was ended, because he had
lost his ship.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30-Hannis Tay-
lor, late Minister to Spain, publishes in
the December number of the North
American Review" a scathing criticism
of the work of the American Peace
Commission.
Mr.. Taylor contends that in the nego-
tiations with Spain respecting Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines the
members of the commission should have
been guided by the precedent estab-
lished by this country in it's dealings
with Mexico after the victorious. issue
of the Mexican war. Then" he says,
1--WE refused, as Mexico lay helpless at
our feet, to take from her a single
square mile of territory by right OF
conquest. Our Commissioners were in
structed to offer her $11 100000 in cash,
and the assumption upon our part of
more than $3.000000 due from her to
American citizens, as compensation for
the area out of which has been carved
California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona.
And thus" says Mr.. Taylor, was
established a new principle of moral
law, which stands alone, perhaps, in
the annals of nations"
MI. Taylor cOHlG0QS lndI now, WHIT
for the first time since the conquest of
Mexico we have another vanquished
nation at our feet, we owe to Spain all
the consideration and justice that can
be due to the weak from the strong, es-
peciany as Spain has been an old and a
good friend, with whom we had never
before broken off diplomatic relations.
The arrangement which has been con-
cluded by the American Commission,
Mr.. Taylor characterizes as a vast
ravishment. 1--WE have refused arbi-.
tration. We have summarily demanded
the surrender of the entire Philippine
archipelago, and as a salve to Spain
we have rendered $20,000,000.
''The war has cost us directly about
S165, 600, 600, and as compensation for
that outlay we have appropriated Porto
Rico, which can hardly be valued at
much less than double that amount. 1t
is difficult to understand, therefore,
why in dealing with Cuba and the Phil
inpines we should have been unwilling
to recognize those reasonable and nat
ural equities which follow acquired ter
ritory.
I'm the case of the Philippines, we
have admitted that, so far as the debts
of these islands represent expenditures
for the Improvement of the country,
they must run with the land, and
constitute a charge upon it. Upon what
grounds have we rejected the applica-
ton Of that elementary principle of law
and common honesty in the case of
Cuba? The pretense that it cannot
there be applied because we do not in
tend to accept sovereignty over Cuba
will not avail, for as soon as Cuba is
evacuated by the Spanish troops the
United States will exert a qualified
sovereignty over the island, and bring
military government there and rigidly
enforce all laws for the purpose of coll
lecting revenues, both external and in
ternal, a condition which must exist
until Congress orders otherwise. In
the case of Cuba, as we'll as in that of
the Philippines the amount of pacific
expenditures made by Spain for the
permanent improvement of the island
should have been recognized as legal
charge upon it,

REPUBLIC OF SALVADOR.
GENERAL REGALADO USURPS
THE PRESIDENCY.
The Revolutionary Leader Said to
Have Proclaimed Himself
Chief Executive.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 30-General
Tomas Regalado, head Of the revoau-
tionary movement in Salvador, has
usurped the Presidency, and proclaimed
himself Chief Executive of the republic.
Such is the sensational information
that has been received here. The news
was conveyed in private cipher cable
d spatch by a prominent banker here
who has extensive business interests in
Central America The statement is
added that Eugenio Aranji has been
appointed General Minister, and the
affairs of the government are now in
the hands of the insurrectionists.
The news is of the utmost Importance,
for the reason that the success of the
revolutionary forces prevents the for
nation of the Great Republic of Cen
trail America. The coalition of three
States had been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Nicaragua and Honduras having
agreed to unite under one government.
Regalado, who had been General in
the artillery service of Gutierrez, Presi-
dent of Salvador, was dissatisfied with
the plan, and during Guiterez's tempo
rary absence from Salvador Regalado
managed to gain control of the govern
ment Such, in brief, is the news con-
veyed by the cable dispatch referred to
above.
Whether Regalado win be able to
maintain his position, should Gutierrez
return to Salvador, is a matter that
future events must determine.
WASHINGTON Nov. 30.-No official
dispatches have reached Washington
touching the turbulent condition of af-
fairs in Salvador and the presage of
the dissolution of the newly formed
United States of Central America, con-
tanned in the reported refusal of Mica
ragua to aid Salvador with her troops
to suppress the rebellion. There is a
very good reason for this, in the fact
that at this moment the United States
has no Minister within the limits of
the new government. Minister Hunter,
who was accredited to the old indie
pendent governments of Guatemala
and Nicaragua, has taken up his post
in Guatemala entirely, the Greater Re-
public of Central America, the imme-
date predecessor of the present United
States of Central America, having de-
clined TO allow him to deal diplomati-
cally with Nicaragua except through
the Diet or Council of three States.
Likewise Minister Hunter, who was ac-
credited to Costa Rica and Salvador,
found himself ineligible in Salvador,
one of the parties to the greater repub-
lie, for the same reason that Mr.. Hun
ter had been rejected, and he took up
his residence in Costa Rica-
The United States has some consular
representatives within the limits of
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador,
working under some sort Of provisional
recognition, but they have made no re-
port to the department of revolution
events
Up to this point the United States
Government has not recognized the
United States Of Central America, .
and the impression is growing that it
will not be called upon to do so.

INSTRUCTIONS TO RIOS.


MADRID, Nov 3O-The Cabinet at
It's meeting to-day agreed upon in
structions for Senior Montero Rios,
President Of the Spanish Peace Com
mission, for to-day's meeting of the
Commissioners.
The Cabinet instructions to Senior
Montero Rios, which We're drawn up
last evening, were to request the i'm
mediate release of the Spanish prison
ers in the Philippine Islands; to ne
gotiate navigation and tariff advant-
ages in the Philippine Islands in favor
or Spain: to obtain a ratification of
several treaties of commerce with
former Spanish possessions and the
arrangement of the debt of the Philip
pines, and, If possible, of the Cuban
debt. The Government also agreed to
refuse ratification of the protocol of
1877.
The "Imparcial' announces that the
Government intends to retain the Car
dimes, and will only sell them in case
it receives an advantageous offer and
they become a burden to Spain The
paper adds THE Government hereto
fore has not received such a PROPOSE
ton, but expects to do So"
THE CUSHING PROTOCOL.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-The pro-
tocol Of 1877, which the Spanish Gov
eminent has notified her Commission
ers not to revive. is the celebrated
Gushing protocol, which has been
source of much correspondence be-
tween the two Governments, and was
invoked by this Government a number
of times prior to the outbreak of hos
Titles
The protocol was framed with special
reference to the outbreaks in Cuba
against Spain, and now that she has
lost nearly all Of her colonies, and espe-
cially those near our soil. has not its
former Importance to- the United
States. It's aim was to guarantee our
citizens protection against summary
and secret legal proceedings. It's first
clause, which is fairly descriptive of
the whole protocol, provides that no
citizen of the United States residing in
Spain or her island possessions charged
with conspiracy against the Govern
ment or any other crime shall be SUBJ
ject to trial by any exceptional trf-
bunal, unless captured with arms in
hand, but instead shall be tried ex-
clusively by the ordinary legal juris-
diction.

Commissioner to Cuba and Porto Rico.
charged with the duty of inquiring into
and reporting upon the economic and
financial conditions on both islands
with special reference to the tariff, ar
rived in the harbor at daybreak Tues
day morning on the steamer Admiral
Dewey, which left Boston last Thurs
day. Owing to the port dues, and also
the quarantine regulations enforced at
Jamaica, the Hist went to meet the Ad-
miral Dewey off Moro Castle and
brought ashore the long delayed mails
and supplies, which, though late, were
welcome. The Admiral Dewey, after
transferring Mr.. Porter and his party
with the mails and supplies to the Hist,
proceeded on her course to Jamaica
Mr.. Porter, ON reaching Santiago, inn
mediately visited General Wood. He
then went to the custom house, where
he made numerous memoranda. He has
many suggestions to make regarding
the tariff, recommending chiefly an in
crease of the duties on wine and a de-
crease of those on the necessities of life.
He will visit B lquiri and Juragua, to
province.
Mail Steamship Company-the Admiral
line-which calls here, will take Mr.
Porter to Jamaica, after which he will
return to the United States.
The United States transport Riena de
Los Angeles is now leaving supplies
along the north coast of Santiago prov
10, Gle Iii,
of immunes to join Colonel Wood at
Gibara. The means of communication
overland to Holguin have been found
extremely difficult, owing to the recent
rains, flooded streams and Doggy lands.
Consequently it is necessary to rely
principally upon the periodical trips Of
steamers like the Riena de Los Angeles
and others available.
General Wood intends to make his
long-delayed trip along the north coast
this week, but it is possible that there
may be another postponement, owing to
the negro regiment troubles at San Luis
and other important business.
General Wood has received numerous
letters from residents of San Luis.
where the recent outrages by negro SOL
diers were committed, claiming to have
been eye-witnesses and offering to tes-
tify at the inquiry which is to take
place at an early date. General Wood
has strong hopes that some of the
guilty men concerned may be identified.
Several merchants have petitioned
for permission to close their stores on
Sunday. Under the Spanish law they
are compelled to keep them open until
noon. General Wood grants all such
requests. He has also issued special
order directing that the liquor saloons
be kept closed on that day.
The Supreme Court, recently organ
ICED by the addition of two jurists of
high repute, will open tomorrow. At
tho request of Chief Justice Echever-
ris, General Wood will be present.
