 New York, Feb. 1.-The Associated Press has been put in possession of the following dispatches which have never been heretofore published, and which are unqutstionably authentic, They comprise the circular telegram of the Spanish government to her representa- tives at several of the European courts, and excerpts from the replies:
 "The Minister of State:
 ITO His Majesties' Representatives
 Abroad:
 Circular telegram: Madrid, March 25 1898.-The Spanish representative in Washington has just reported that he is informed by the United States gov ernment that on Monday next the re- port of the American commission on the Maine catastrophe will be brought before congress without previously communicating same to us, or having the Spanish report communicated to them
 For the reasons stated in my tele- gram of yesterday, and in view of the fact of the submission of that matter to popular chamber, thus taking it out of the jurisdiction of the executive power-a step which, in our opinion. may provoke a conflict between the two nations-the Spanish government deems it duty and considers it to be in accordance with the principles gov erning international relations between Christian powers, to communicate these facts to that government and to re- quest it's friendly offices to induce) the president of the United States to main- tain within the jurisdiction of the ex- ecutive everything bearing on the ques- ton of differences with Spain in order to bring them to an honorable settle ment And so convinced is Spain that reason is with her and that she is act ing with prudence, thta if the above mentioned end is not attained she does not hesitate to ask the advice of the great powers, and in the last term their arbitration for the settlement of differ ences now pending and of those which may, in the near future, disturb the peace which the Spanish nation wishes to preserve as far as compatible with her honor and the integrity of her ter ritory, this not only for her own sake, but also for the consequences which the war, once begun, might have for the other countries of Europe and America. You will read this telegram to the minister for foreign affairs of that country.

 Paris, March 25, 1898.
 This afternoon I have had a long conference with the minister for for eign affairs and have communicated te him your circular telegram concerning the last verbal note presented by the minister of the United States.
  q told him that as the crisis had reached it's highest points, and demands rapid action, I thought that, besides actively cooperating to obtain a Euro pean concert the most efficacious thing in these moments woudl be that France should address England, invoking the traditions of international politics re- garding Cuba from the beginning of the century and proposing that both na- tions act in common with a view to peace. ,i,,4a Co, ff,;, cepted this indication in principle and asked me to give him time to think . over and to submit the matter to the | council of ministers.
