By the arrival Of the Black Warrior at Mo-
bile, files of Havana papers to the Both ult have
been received.
The running time of the Black Warrior from
New York to Mobile was six days and twenty
two hours.
The Diario de la Karina, in speaking of the
relation existing between the Spanish Govern
ment and the United States, says:
In the bosom Of Spain there is not at this
present time any feeling of anger or prejudice
against the Anglo American nation in mass,
and If we sometimes offend their self esteem by
telling them the truth Ito which they are not
much accustomed), we do nothing more than
repay small part Of the abuse with which we
are RECALLED With the United States, as with
every other nation. we desire to live on the
footing of decorous friendship, always provided
they reciprocate; and, although the remem-
brance of the past may, in some degree, aug
ment our demands, they will never become ex-
cessive, if the amend on their part is radical
and sincere"
Cosr OF NEWSPAPERS. Some doubts having
been suggested as to the correctness Of the New
York Tribune's statement that its recent en-
largement would increase its annual expenses
500, OO0--the editors of that paper submit
transcript from their books two weeks before
and after enlargement. From this it appears
that the average weekly expenses of the Tribune
were, before enlargement, SO ,446 47--since then
~ ,466 thinking an increase Of 81 ,044 80
per week, or 1854, 1929 60. The Tribune adds to
this statements
1t may crafty few earnest friends to learn
that our expenditure of Sc, 1903 AZ during the
first two weeks of our enlarged sheet was fully
met our receipts for these weeks having been
1850 So, or Sl47 10 more than our expenses.
We shall probably do better yet by-and-by.
MEXICAN FRONTIER INDIANs-This clause in
| the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which bound
the United States to guard the Mexicans from
| the assaults of frontier Indians, was the most
unfortunate that could have been admitted in
such document. 1t opened field for contro-
versy. Mexico had been annoyed by these saw
ages ever since the earliest settlement in that
quarter, and any negotiator at all familiar with
American history ought to have avoided COM
hitting his Government upon such q subject,
unless he expressly designed leaving sore spot
between the nations, which, at any moment,
might be excited to Inflammation.
We learn that reclamations have been fire.
quently made upon our Government, since 1913,
for losses by Indian forays over the Mexican
border. Now, how are the comings and goings,
the doings and sayings, of these Arabs Of our
wilderness to be proved satisfactorily, SO as to
form the basis of a treaty claim Who shall
swear from which side of the yet unknown
boundary they came Are there any witnesses
except the Mexicans' Who will prove the Gre
dibility of half the frontier bandits and outlaws
who arc ready to testify when any body is ready
to pay' Baltimore Patriot, 10Th.

THE INDEPENDENCE.-The Inflated steamer
Independence is stated to have been an old river
boat, and some of the NewYork papers are Sc
we're upon the parties who placed such ar
unseaworthy craft on the Pacific line. 1t is al
legged that her charter on the Vanderbilt line
had expired, and the unfortunate trip was t.
have finished her employment in the service o.
the Nicaragua company. The NewYork Time:
seems to intimate that she is the same boa,
formerly employed in the Baltimore and Phila
delphia line; and if SO, she must have beer
built twenty years ago for river service, ant
was never designed for ocean service.

Colonel Alfred Cummings, formerly Of Georgia
and now of Missouri, to be superintendent o
Indian affairs for the central SUPPLEMENTARY
