The Spanish government knows of no such battle, nor has word of It reached the minIster, as he said would be the case if such a great engagement had occurred.

Washington, May 12. -The probability that Governor Watson will appoint a senator from Delaware to succeed Sen- ator Higgins is considered sufficiently strong in political circles here to cause a general speculation as to what would be the chances of his being seated. The history of the senate does not furnish a parallel case to that which would be presented In case of such action by the Delaware governor, but it is more like- ly those of two years ago, presented from the states of Washington, Mon- tana and Wyoming, than any other. It would be similar to those in so far as it would involve the governor's right Co appoint when the fegtabatute has failed to elect, but it would develop other questions, important among which would be the right of the gover- nor to act in the capacity of a state senator while filling the executive of- fice. The cases of the northwestern states also differs from that which would be presented from Delaware in that there was no, counter claimant in 'any olkthatn.
