Spain's Last Hope Vanished. 1 Paiuh, (By Cable.) ^JSpain can no longer have auy doubt ' regarding the tfttimate attitude of the ; United States toward the so-called Cuban debt. The 'American commissioners have declined to assumo it, or any part of it, by ex press treaty or Ry compact. They also declined to accept a cession of sover eignty to tho United Slates, for iu that case Spain would claim that such a cession by its own force would impose the obligation for that-debt. It is con fidently believed that in refusing to ac cept a cession0 of sovereignty, tho .Amoricau commissioners aro aoting also upon thoir announcement to the ?world in the intervention resolutions, disclaiming any intention to exercise sovereignty or authority o\ or Cuba, ex cept for pacification, and then to leave tho island to the control of its people and its peoplo to the assumption of its obligations.

An other mattor that causes grave consul oration in the War Department is tho temper of tho Spaniards in Cuba, and ? ho fear that the impression which now prevails thero may lead thorn to regard tho Amorican troops of not much ac count and act accordingly after the occupancy by tho United Statos. 1 he matter lias been discuseod in the "War Dopartmout, and it iw probable that when tho troops aro sent to Cuba thoro will be a forco of auch size and char acter as to give Ihe Islauders a differ ent impression of United States sol diers than they now entertain. m> ?r, ivt a sadden ?? of ber Trcncli Warships (ioing to Brest. 1 lujuiries made at tho offices of the Fronoh Ministry of Marin?, confirm the report published by The Holeil, in n dispatch ffom Toulon, Baying that Vice- Admiral Fournie, who is at Tunis with the Minister of Marine, M.
