TIMELY TOPICS.
Oun relations with Spain, according
to the announcement of the formal «ig-
nature of the teriuti of settlement of
the YirfinitiB question, seems to be
premature, as it ia kuorn from the
best authority that the tlnal couelusiau
of the arrangement 1ms to await the
formal recognition of the new govern
ment of King Alfonso by the United
States. The credentials and instruc
tions under this head aie now on their
way to Minister Cushing. The prelim
inary agreement stipulates for the pay
ment of 818,000 in full satisfaction of
tho Virginias claims of a persousl char
acter, and the abandonment on the part
of Spain of all reclamations against the
United States. The Autograph letter
from Alfonso to tho president is purely
a formal oae, only announcing his ac
cession to the tlirono and expressing his
desire for a continuance of good
lions. No day has yet been fixed by the
s.'crotnry of state for tho presentation
of this letter to the president by the
Spntii-h minister. It is presumed it
will not take place until the government
of King Alfonso shall have been recog
nised by our government, through its
representative at Madrid, and pending
