Without taking actual pesierulon, this
action has been trued on the complaint of
the Peruvian Minister, Colonel Preyre,
who alleges that the gunbolts will release
other Spanish vessel, now on guard on
the coaat of Cuba, and wtdcla will thus bee
enabled to proceed against Peru. This
technical custody was sufficient So long
es the boatel were unfinished, but eleten
of them are now ready to be turned over
to the Spanish authorities. The demand
of the Spanish Minister for their release
is daily expected, sad the clue' will then
without doubt be taken Into the Courts
for regular proceedings under the Neu
trality act. Peru will then have an
opportunity to make her complaint good
If she fails to do so, the release of the
vessels will probably follow. The Cuban
question cannot affect it in one way or
the.other, for Cuba having no stutta, Is
not known In the matter. This, I believe,
is the determination of the government,
and there seems to be no other mode of
procedure. To be detained on legal
grounds the vessels meat ba lawfully con
demned in regular courts of proceedings
under the Neutrality sett; and, however
the result may affect the Cuban-cause,
the country may look to ilea nothing done
that doesnot comport strictly with the law.
