SPAIN HAS REPLIED.
New York. March 17.—The Recorder
will tomorrow publish the following
dlspatohes from Washington, D. C.:
“Spain has replied to Secretary
Gresham's demand. A dispatch was re
ceived tonight that, so far ns it goes.
Is entirely satisfactory to the United
States. It la a response to the last plrt
of Secretary Gresham's dlapatoh in
which he Insists that 'immediate and
positive orders be given to Spanish
naval commanders not to Interfere with
the legitimate American commerce
passing through tl that (windward)
channel, and prohibiting all acts wau-
tonly Imperiling life and property law
fully under tile flag of the United
States.’
“That part of the dispatch which re
fers to the firing upon the Alllanca la
reserved for future reply, after an In
vestigation by Spain Into the circum
stances that surround tt.
“Hiere'to do doubt In tbe inlnd of
the present secretary of state that
this will receive ’prompt disavowal as
an unauthorized act-, and that a 'due
expression of regret on the part of
Spain' will be forthcoming.
“Secretary Gresham communicated
the substance of Spain's response to
the president aa soon as It had been
translated, but be was unwilling to
give It out for publication.
"It la understood, however, thar. the
dispatch conveyed the Information that
orders had been Issued to the com
manders of the Spanish men-of-war
in Cuban waters not to .Interfere with
legitimate American commerce ond to
use every precaution to avoid Interra-
tior. to- complications by an exercise of
undue zeal.”
London, March 17.—The Standard has
version of the foreign minister'* speech
In congress yesterday on the Alllanca
Incident;
“It Is -true that Mr. Taylor, tne
American minister, has claimed re
para: Ion from Spain, owing to the
firing oh the Alliance,” he raid. "The
United States at tbe same time present
ed a demand that American trade
with Cuba should not be Interfered
with, and expressed the hope that the
Alllanca affair would be amicably set
tled, since they considered the action of
our cruiser a violation of International
law. The government has aaked for
full Information on this subject,-and is
willing to makejt Just settlement with
out Infringement on International law
or prejudice to the dignity of the
nation."
