PAYMENT OF MORA CLAIM OPPOSED. The United State* Declared to Have Shown an Unfriendly Disposition by Taking Advantage of Cuban Insurrection. Madrid, Aug. 1. —Republican and carlist senators and deputies have addressed a protest to the government agaihst the payment of the Mora claim without the sanction of the cortes. The protest declares that the government's precipitancy in settling the claim of the United States is unconstitutional and humiliating to Spain and that the conduct of the United States in taking advantage of the Cuban insurrection to press the claim is an exhibition of an unfriendly disposition. The government has decided to pay the Mora claim in three installments. It is the intention afterward to induce the United States to recognize Spanish claims for damages to property in Florida of citizens of the country which were incurred during the civil war in America.
