THE SPANISH QUESTION, Minister Cushing’s Official Declaration to the Spanish Cabinet. The United States Do Not Desire the Annexation of Cuba. ANXIETY AT MADBID. A New Treaty To Be Offered by Spain. (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE, ] . Manrp, Dee. 3, 1875. In reference to the correspondence now going on between the governments of Spain and the United States, Minister Cushing has officially’ informed Sefior Canovas of recent instructions forwarded to him from Wash- ington, which explicitly declare that the American government do not desire the an- vexation of Cuba. TONE OF THE SPANISH O¥VICIAL PRESS. Immediately this declaration was made known, the Ministerial organs of Madrid, the Epoca and the Politica, commenced to dis- cuss the matter in a conciliatory tone, and arged the extension of every courtesy to our people. ANXIETY IN MADRID. ‘The answer of the Spanish Cabinet, re- ferred to in my previous despatches, was in- tended as a final effort toward conciliation, but it is not known whether the terms pro- posed will be satisfactory to the Cabinet at ‘Washington, and consequently their reply is awaited here with deep anxiety. SPANISH CONCESSIONS. On receiving an assurance, however, that these terms are accepted, it is believed that Spain will also accept some reasonable amendments to her reply to Mr. Cushing's demands. ; Further concessions must be made by Spain, it is urged, especially with reference to the Virginius case. But in some other particulars Spain now offers more than was at first asked of her. PROSPECTS OF A NEW TREATY. If the amendments which are expected to be suggested from Washington to the Span- ish reply are acceptable to Sefior Canovas and his colleagues a treaty will be framed immediately and sent to the Cortes for ratifi- cation as soon as that body assembles, AMERICA HOLDS THE BALANCES. ‘Thus may the troublesome Spanish ques- tion be finally,settled. But everything de- pends upon the action of our government. The world will now watch affairs at Washing- ton rather than at Madrid. SPAIN. THE MINISTRY OF WAR-—A TEMPORARY COM- MISSION.

Bauriwore, Dec. 3, 1875. ‘The pigeon shooting at Pimlico to-day, under the auspices of the Maryland Jockey Club, was but sparsely attended, owing to the cold, rainy weather, Captain A. H. Bogardus, the champion wing shot, gave two exhibitions of his skill as a marksman, The first was to shoot at twenty-five pairs of pigeons, from two spring traps, forty yards apart, both to’ be sprung at tho same time; the shooter to stand on a line between the traps, and to kill thirty- eight birds. From the trap on the right he missed the first and twenty-third birds, and from that on the left the twenty-sixth and thirty-eighth birds, so that, when forty-four birds wore sprung, he had killed forty. The second exhibition was to kill twenty-eight out of thirty-three birds within four minutes, and load his own gun. These birds were not set off trom the traps, but thrown up two ata time, and when thirty-two bad been thrown up he had killed twenty-nine, and accom- plished the feat in three minutes and eight'seconds, He missed the seventh, fourteenth, twenty-irst and twenty-third birds. THE TORPEDO STATION. A TRIAL OF A NEW TORPEDO BOAT BEFORE A DELFGATION FROM THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. Newrort, R. L, Dec. 3, 1875, There was atrial of Lay’s improved torpedo boat, from Torpedo Station, at this place, to-day.

This ig understood to conclude the experiments to be made before its purchase is recommended by the committees ‘The trial was witnessed by a sub-committge appointed by the Navy Department and a few naval officials, Considerable secrecy has been noticeable at all the ex- eriments with itso far, Some minor improvements fave been made to its steering apparatus since the trial a few weeks ago, and Lay has had several men con- stantly employed upon it for the past two months, and it is now believed to be in poe working order and far superior to the one which has been in use at the station for two years past. Its purchase is confidently expected by Captain Breese and his officers at Torpedo station, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OF WAR VESSELS. Derawar® Breakwarer, Dec, 3, 1875.

OPPOSITION TO HIS REMAINING THE COMMANDER OF THE STEAMSHIP CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO, Sax Francisco, Cal, Dee. 8, 1875. Captain James I, Woddell, formerly of the Confed- erate war ship Shenandoah, who brought to this port & few days ago the new China steamer City of San Fran- Cisco, is now the absorbing topic in all papers, The list of vessels he destroyed during the rebellion is pub- lished, and the charge made that he destroyed some of them after the war terminated.

TNE EVE OF BATTLE Contestants for the Speakership Numbering Their Forees. EIGHTY-FIVE VOTES TO DECIDE. | Eighty-eight Reported Positively Pledged for Randall. List of the Avowed Supporters of the Respective Candidates. THE SUNSET OF AMBITION. The Indianian’s Partisans Confident of Success. WAsHINGTON, Deo, 3, 1875. The eve of the battle for the Speakership of the next House of Representatives finds nearly the entire demo- cratic delegation of Congressmen already in Washing- ton. There are a few belated Western and Southern men who will not be in time to take part in the caucus, and there are others who are detaiaed by sickness and business. But, as far as can be calculated this evening, it is quite probable that about 165 men will go into the caucus to-morrow afternoon, With the enforced absence of three of the Mississippi delegation, who telegraph that they have missed railway connection necessary to get them here tn time, and, with Mr, Lamar in the chair, the highest possible vote in caucus will be 169, so that A VOTE OF MIGHTY-PIVR for any one of the candidates now in nomination will secure him the Speakership. The canvass has slackened somewhat to-night, at least in its outward excitement, ‘& fall of sleet having covered the streets ot Washington with @ glaze of ice and rendered locomotion from place to place an enterprise of no little danger, The treach- erous pavement has overturned the person ff not the purpose of many a zealous partisan in his efforts to or ganize victory for his favorite. Indeed, for the nonce, the pedestrianizing portion of the population of Wash- ington has taken to the middle of the street to-night, | delieving with tho classic poet in medio tutissimus ibis, With this elemental check upon the exuberance of their spirits the followers of the respective candidates are dis- 1 posed to keep the shelter of headquarters, so that there is less of swaying and interchanging tn the crowd than might be the case were the weather fine enough to allow of freo circulation from hotel to hotel and lobby to lobby. ‘TH THREE CANDIDATES are comfortably ensconsed, each in his parlor, but the levée of callers has sensibly diminished Thereis less talk and congratulation; tho time for compliment and flattery has gone by, and the combatants are girding their loins for the hot work in caucus. From this sitaation of aflairs it may be readily inferred that there has been NO BSSENTIAL CHANGE in the relative strength of Messrs, Randall, Kerr and Cox. Two ol the Maryland delegation not heretofore counted are to-night claimed for Randall, as well as a portion of the newly arrived Louisiana delegation. These accessions insure Randall a majority on the first formal ballot, which may not be had until one or more informal ballots have been taken to allow of an expres- sion of the seutiment of the caucus. The Randall men can put their pencil upon the division list and check off eighty-three votes already unequivocally pledged, they say, to his support first, last and all tho time, Itis this unit of strength which makes his friends believe that when the formal ballot is taken he will be nomin- ated by a handsome majority. THE CLERKSHIP. The only other important teaiure in the way of alteration in the prospects of the canvass is the falling to the rear of A.D. Banks, of Mississippf, for the Clerkship. As already said, three of his delegation will be absent, and Mr. Lamar will be in the chair. Thus, he will have no one from his own State to nominate him a sine qua nonof a caucus candidate. Furtner- more, a candidate from Mississippi has turned up in pursuit of the’ Doorkeepership, whose ambition, trifling as it may be, is enough to hurt the cause of his fellow Mississippian. This change brings to the front for the Clerkship names which had been slighted for a day or two, viz, :—Those of George M. Adams, of Ken- tucky, and George. C. Wedderburn, of Virginia The former gentleman was a member of the last Congress; the latter was the democratic caucus nominee for the Clerkship of the same body. Wedderburn is warmly supported and expects to go into the caucus with thirty ballots which, in the multiplicity of candidates for the position, will not be not less than second highest. William Dixon renews the assertion made by him that Fernando Wood said that Kerr had offered tim the Chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee, if he should in turn have his support for the Speaker- ship. Randall and bis friends have headquarters at the Metropolitan as well as Willard’s Hotel. The Mississippi delegation are going to ignore Banks for Clerk in order to secure Creecy’s nomination as Doorkeeper. PLEDGED TO RANDALL.

HE TRANSMITS 4 BRIEF TO CONGRESS OF THE REASON WHY M'ENERY IS NOW EXCLUDED YROM FURTHER CONTEST FOR THE GOVERNOR- SHIP, New Orveans, Deo. 3, 1875, Governor Kellogg has transmitted to Congress an elaborate brief in anticipation of a possible attempt to seaton McEnery certificates the democratic members elect from Louisiana, all of whom applied for and re- ceived credentials from Governur Kellogg. The lead- ing points are summarized as follows:— In conclusion it is submitted that Mr. McEnery and his friends are bese ged in all honor from further ques- Pp she title of Governor Kellogg as Governor of Louisiana :— Pirst—Because McEnery agreed to submit his claims to the Congressional Committee, and a majority of this committee have expressed their opinion ‘that joveruor Kellogg was elected in 1872. Second—Because his own partisan, the present Legis- latare, including a majority of the lower House, which Legislature is accepted on all sides as the undisputed one of the State, have almost unanimously passed a joint resoiution recognizing Governor Kellogg as Gov- ernor of the State, Third—Because Mr. McEnery has always professed to desire’some settlement of the heretoiore pending con- troversy which would bring peace and quiet to the State, and it cannot be denied but these results have followed from the adoption of the adjustment. And lastly, because Mr. McKnery and his friends, as zealous and consistent upholders of the doctrine of State rights, will surely not ask the Congress of the United States to interfere, and, by {ts action, to annul the solemn act of the recognized and unquestioned Logisla- tare of a sovereign State in a matier pertaining exclu- sively to its own domestic affairs, Tho brief is accompanied by the protocol of agreement and adjustment extracts from the testimony taken by the Hoar committee, with reference w the election of 1870, and tabular statements of the census registration, &c., from 1870 down to the last election in 1574; also the affidavits of the Warmoth election officers and imem- bers of the fusion returning boards. HARTFORD, PROVIDENCE AND FISH- KILL RAILROAD. Provipencr, R. I., Dec. 3, 1875, At a consultation of the municipal authorities w-day concerning the payment of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad bonds, secured by mortgage, tt appeared that two parties claimed the right to pay the bonds and redeem the mortgage—namely, the New York and New England Railroad Company and the old stockholders of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Company, who hold the proposed transfer of the road to the New England company to be invalid. No de- sion was reached. The feeling here is averse to the surrender of the mortgage until the title 1s judicially settled. THE LAKE PROPELLER FAVORITE.
