MADRID, May 23, 1870.
The proceedings in the Constitutional
Cortes on Saturday were quite interest-

ing. One of the deputies questioned the
Ministers on the truth of the rumored

concert of action on the part of Great
Britain and the United States to effect a
mitigation of the so-called Spanish hor-
rors in Cuba. Senor Moret, Minister for
the Colonies replied. He said while such
rumors had been extensively published,
the Government was without official in-
formation on the subject. While the
matter was before the Deputies he de-
sired to remind them that De Rodas,

Japtain General of Cuba, had repeatedly
invited American Commissioners to vis-
it Cuba, examine into those alleged
cruelties and see for themselves how ut-
terly false these stories were.
