No. 576.
Mr. Fish to Mr. Cushing.

Department of State,
Washington, August 27, 1874.

No. 61.]

Sir: I acknowledge the receipt of your interesting dispatch of the 30th ultimo, No. 66, in relation to the possibility of European intervention in the affairs of Spain. It confirms accounts which have reached this country of atrocities in warfare which seem incredible in the nineteenth century, which are without excuse or palliation, and a continuance of which would be degrading to human nature.

I am, &c,

HAMILTON FISH.
