Ex-Jndge Fisher, Attorney for the District of Columbia, has not yet resigned his office, as re- quesied by the Attorney General. He bas just re- turned from a visit to Long Branch to see the President, with a view of retention in oMce. The Attorney General has allowed him time to reply to the charges, Meanwhile, ex-Governor Wells, of Virginia, for several years a resident of Wash- ington, having been tendered the office, says he will accept it. The compiaint ot the Postmaster General against District Attorney Fisher was in consequence of the apparent listiessness and lack of interest displayed by the District At- torney in his preparation of the Hinds case, See- Ing this, and fearing tnat Mr. Fisher had too much bustness in his office to allow him to properly at- tend to these cases, the Postmaster General offered assistance by the employment of stant counsel, which Mr. Fisher declined, Tne Post Master General reported this fact to tne Prest- dent, and was directed by him to again make the offer of assistance to Mr, Fisher, He did so, and the offer was again declined, Mr, Fisher assuring | the Postmaster General tat he would’ attend to the case.

CUBA. THE ALLEGED CO-OPEBATION OF GREAT BRITAIN, GERMANY AND THE UNITED STATES REGARD- ING CUBAN AFFAIRS DENIED—THE ATTITUDE OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. WASHINGTON, July 16, 1875, Notwithstanding certain statements of news- Papers, there are no recent developments of a different character concerning the affairs of Cuba, iog upon the Spanish government the policy of abandoning its West India possessions, with a view either to their division among. the three Powers named, or their organiza- tion into @ republic, under the protec- torate, expressed or implied, of said Pow- ers. The knowledge of such co-eperation, it 1s said in Washington official circles, 1s confined ex- clusively to private parties and to the press that gives it publicity. Nor has Great Britain or Ger- many ever hinied at a.co-operation of the three Powers for the purpose mentioned. On the con- trary, both Great Britain and Germany have been remarkably careful not to offend the sensibility of the United States, the latter having on repeated occasions declared its immovable adherence to i THE MONKOK DOOTRINE. and which both Great Britain aud Germany have omicially satd they will respect. It will be recol- lected that in 1669 our government otfered its good | Qfiices to Spain for the purpose oi pringing to a | close the civil war in Cuba on certain designated bases. These Spain declined to accept, vut offered bases of its own, whicn were declined by the | United States as incompatible with any practtca- | ble negotiation. in withdrawing the offer of the | good offices through the American Minister Spain | was informed they would again be offered | whenever they could tend toa settlement upon @ just and honorable basis o! the unhappy | coutest that was devastating Ouba and so injure. ously affecting the United States and Spain. Since that time no similar overture has been made by the United States, bor has Spain intimated that the repetition of the offer would be agreeable. Jt has been ascertained confidentially and other- wise that THE OPINION OF LEADING MEN in Spain is vnat every day tne bond that unites Cuba with Spain becomes weaker, and tnat the Separation Ol the island from the mother country is merely the work of time, independently of any action whieh may be taken by tue Spanish goveru- | ment. There is Dow no probability that Spain will take any action apart from arms for the pacifica- tion of Cuba.
