Oles. We oopythe important part Of his
statement:
''Gen. Lopez never deceived any one a.
bout the revolutionary feelings in Cuba, Ny
position near him during the last eighteen
months Of his life. enables me to state know
ingly. hat letters from all parts Of the Is
land have often called for help from hip and
his friends, whatever might be their nun,
Der.
"No letters or news have ever been forged
M this city, and / am &stonished that such
an aOousation could ever have been made
against the few devoted friends, who, sin
.eerely convinced of the justice of the cause,
have spared nc effort, no sacrifice, to serve
it, and have engaged in it their names and
their fortunes, with no other guaranty than
the word of honor of one man. These let
tiers have never been written with the inten-
ton of deceiving; their only fault is exagge-
ration, not as regards the wishes and feelings
of the Cuban people, but as to the possibility
of immediate action.
"But few Cubans joined him, it is true;
but how many tried to join? The jailors of
Havana may answer that question by stating
how many arrests were made on the roads
since the l4th of August; they can answer it
by telling what is the crime committed by
over two thousand wretches now in Spain.
The soldiers can also answer by saying how
many have been executed behind the bush
es of the Agnacate and Pena Planca."
The London Times Owning Up.
A recent number of the London Times
has a long editorial summing u up the re-
suits of toe Great Exhibition, in which we
find the following "owning up to American
Ingenuity and enterprise:
at is beyond all denial that every practi
lcal success of the season belongs to the A
americans. Their consignments showed poor
ly at first, but came out well upon trial.
Their reaping machine has carried convic-
ton to the heart of the British Agriculturist
Their revolvers threaten to reyolutionize
military tactics as completely as the original
discovery ~ofgunpowder. Their yacht takes
a class of itself. Of all the victories ever
won, none has been so t~ranscendant as that
of the New York schooner. The account
given'ofher performances suggests the map
proachable excellence attributed to Jupiter
by the ancisnt poets, who described the
king Of the gods as being not only supreme,
but havingnone other nexs to him. Whats
Ifrst?"-"The America" whats second?'
Besides this, the Baltic, one of Collins line
of steamers, has "made the fastest passage
yet known across the Atlantic" and accord
ing to the American journals, has been pur-
chased by British agents, ''for the purpose
of towing the CRnard vessels from one shore
Of the ocean to the other" Finally, as i
to c. own the triumphs of the year, Bmeri
cans have actually sailed through the Isih-
mus connecting the two continents Of the
New World, md while doubling and grad.
ging, Yankees have stepped in and wen the
day.
So we think upon the whole. that we may
afford to shake hands and exchange congrat-
u~lations, after which we must learn as much
