[Washington Correapondeoee of the Clndnnat] Com-'

The secret of the mysterious correspon
dence between this Government and that of
Spain is at last explained. In his message
in 1869, Grant enunciated his policy with re
gard to European dependencies in Western
waters, viz: that they ought eventually to
become free and independent. Recently be
has notified Spain that the Cuban policy of
that Government most be changed, that the
time had oome wheu, from various reasons,
the Cubans must be permitted to choose
their own government. Correspondence on
this point has been carried on for some
time. Spain has finally, but reluctantly
acceded to the President’s demand, andJovel-
lar will, upon assuming command, issue a
proclamation notifying the Cohans that as
soon as peace is restored in the island they
will be permitted to nominate tbe form of
government under which they desire ?o live.
The proclamation will also offer amnesty, the
restoration of estates, etc. The President
was determined that hisadminisjratton should
not pass away until a beginning was made
in tbe direction of carrying out his po ,! " w
which he is ambitious shall be known as
Grant doctrine.”
