The question of slavery in the Spanish colonies, in the West Indies, has, for several years, been a matter of diplo? matic correspondence between the Go? vernments at Washington and Madrid. The promising results in the case of emancipation in Cuba was still farther desired for Porto Bioo. Through the usual means of communication the Spa? nish Government was-apprised of the| views of the United States on the sab- i jeot. Last November the first steps in the premises were taken, when the Spa? nish Minister of Stats? placed in the] hands of Minister Sickles a memoran* I dam of the colonial policy of the Cabi? net agreed upon. The substance of these propositions was the replacement of the military government in Porto Bioo by oivil authority, with a oivil Go* verh?r and confining the Captain-Gene* ral to functions purely military. A de* ores was to be issued establishing the municipal law of Spain in Porto Bioo, with aa?h modifications as might be in? dispensable in conformity with whiob free town oounoilsand officers were to be | ohosen. Tho law establishing a provin? cial assembly was to be pat in fall and exact execution. The Aot previously had remained inoperative for lack of town officers. Slavery was to be abo? lished in Porto Bioo. These reforms I were bnt the fulfillment of the pledges made by the Badioar party to publio opi? nion in Spain. The question of slavery was at that time dsoided in prinoiple, bat a dispute arose whether the emanci? pation should be immediate, or gradual. To settle this, it was necessary to submit a bill to the Spanish Congress and await their aotion. The despatch of Minister -?.1. i; .I i,... ivri l tu , i , 'T?r?^r tiSn^?? the Bpan!sh rejpub 1 i6 t o^o a r ry^mi t the promises of .the kingdom, and the decision has been in favor .of immediate emancipation.. In July, 1872, the num? ber of slaves in Porto Riao was as fol? lows: Males under twelve years of age, 3,489; from twelve to sixty years, 12,655; females under twelve years of age, 3,448; from twelve to sixty years, 1JL,450; mak? ing of slaves, male and female, an aggre? gate of 81,042. The white population of the island for 1869, and* 1870 was 346,487k and the free colored for .the same year; 276,623. The Spanish Go? vernment, partly at the ioatahoe of the United States, passed, a law in July; 1870, providing for the gradual emanci? pation of slaves in her East India colo? nies. The law, however, remained for some time unexecuted. In an emphatic despatch of October 29, 1872, from the Secretary of State to Mr. Sickles, the dilatory action of the Spanish Govern? ment was commented upon. The Spa? nish Government was reminded that the insurrection in Cuba had then lasted four years, and that all attempts to sup press it had so far. been futile; that up to that time it had'ooat more than 1,000, 000 lives and an incalculable amount of property; that our commercial and other connections, with that island, compelled us to take a warm interest iu its peaceful and orderly condition! without whioh there could not bo prosperity. The de? termined policy of the United States., judiciously pressed, at length conduced to a more favorable application of the law Of 1870, and extending tbFaarae ha mane wishes toPorto Bioo, has .effected an even more flatter ing prospect iu Porto Rico. The action of the Spanish Con? gress, it is suppoaed, will lead tp a still more liberal, administration of the colo ? nies,' so near oar borders, and' with' which we have such close commercial and mercantile relations. A report prevails that Senator Cald? well will tender his resignation, to-mor? row morning, before the discussion, in' bia case, snail bo resumed. But the Se? nator himself, having been interrogated on the subject td-night, denies its truth, saying, however, that bia Course is alto? gether controlled by the advice of bis friends. The qdestion before the Se? nate stands thuu: First, that the resolu? tion of the Committee on Elections and Privileges, declaring that Alexander Caldwell was not duly and legally elected to a seat In the Sanata of ibe United States by the Legislature of Kansas; so oond, Ferry, of Connecticut, proposes to amend the above resolution, so as. to read that Alexander Gaidwell be, and he is hereby, expelled from the Senate of the United States; and third. Ferry; of Mich iga n, proposes to a mend, the amen d ment so as to declare Caldwell to have been elected Senator. TW first vote 'will'be, oh the. last, named; proposition * but if this fail, .next that of Ferry: of Connecticut. If the requisite two-thirda 1 should not be obtained for it, the Senate w{U bo brought to a vote on the resolu? tion of the po#in#teic Saturday, were unable to agree upon the order of voting on the ponding proposi? tions different from that above stated. Therejseema to be no doubt that a larger vote will be obtained for expulsion than for the other propositions. According to a decision of the Trea? sury * Department, damage allowances' should only embrace the actual aubataa i tial of damage to merchandise. No al? lowance can be made for what is termed commercial damage. Where certain im? ported sheathing metal was employed in [the construction'of two steamers built subsequent to the Act of June 6, 1873, for an agent of the Japanese Govern? ment, it was held that the provisions of the said Aot, as regards exempting from duty on imported articles entering into the construction of vessels built in the United States, do not apply. Too bene? fits of the [said provision of law extend only to the vessels built in the United States and documented as vessels of the United States, with the intention of em? ploying them in the trade between the United States and foreign countries, or between the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States. The manufaotures of animal hair, cotton and furs are not entitled to the ten per cent, reduotion of duty.
