As our papers seem under the impress
sion that the Captain General Of Cuba will
apologize handsomely for the severe meas
ures he has felt compelled to adopt in
quelling the insurrection, l concluded YOU
would like to have the opinion of those
most able to judge this matter. If it suit,
you may make use of the following:
ala Cronica," the uth-piece of
Spain in the United States, published in
New York, assures its readers that the
messenger sent by the President to Gen.
Concha, uW not be receircd by that func-
tionary, it being no part of his duty to
communicate officially with foreign govern
ments, an any erea lehatcCer, Her Catholic
Majesty never having conceded that privi-
lege to any of her colonial authorities.
We translate as follows: "If the gov
ernment of the United States desire only
to make itself acquainted with some of the
particulars of which it is ignorant, it has
official agents in Cuba, and naval officers
who can inform it better than any COM
missioner or special messenger, since the
Spanish authorities would confdentially,
and in friendly manner, give expiana-
tions which it would undoubtedly refuse to
an envoy of an extraordinary character and
mission. The measure would be. moreover,
an insult to the Spanish Minister in this
country, who is the natural organ, and the
most proper one, to apply to for this class
Of explanations.
OF the other cause of complaint, the
"Cronica" says:
eve will not speak Of the detention of
the steamer Falcon, the government of the
United States having less right to complain
than any other nation of that measure of
our naval official, because from the same
United States had sailed the piratical ex-
pcdition that at that moment was killing
our citizens within cur own territory. af-
ter invading it, arms in hand If, in place
of the Falcon, one Of the Royal English
Mail steamers had been detained, the Eng
lish government, considering the eircum-
Stances, would not have found in the act
the slightest motive for remonstrancc or
explanation. If that of the United States
think it can find any, and should remon-
strate or demand explanations, it will give
SO great a proof of weakness or bad faith,
as scarcely to merit categorical answer"
Yesterday l was much interested in two
German girls who were here with q French
Piano. "a kind of tall organ.) On con-
yersing with them, found that they had
travelled through the Mexican Republic,
and visited all the principal cities in that
country, having first landed at Tampco,
whence they went to Vera Cruz by steam
cr, and then walked to Jalapa, where they
purchased horses, and mule to carry the
. instrument In this way they followed
the main road to the city of tIexico, where
they spent two months playing and dancing
in the city and surrounding villages. They
then visited Queretaro, Guadalaxara, A guas
Callientcs, Zacatecas, San Louis Potosi.
and Durango, in all of which, one of them
informed me, they made money "like
Dirt often getting five or six dollars at
one house, and poor people rarely offering
them less than a quarter dollar From
Durango they worked their way northward,
through Saltilio and Monterey, and crossed
the Rio Grande at Davis ranch They
bought farm in Western Texas, where
their friends are now living, and these two
girls left home on the 4th of July to meet
their brothers Coming in from Germany
at New y Iork, in which direction they are
now travelling. Ithink they are ,ronderJM
women. They both speak Spanish better
