MAnaiD, Sept. 4th.-Home politics have of late
caused the dangers to Cuba from American aggres
sion to be almost lost sight of here but Mr. Pierre
Soule's recent proceedings and departure have
served as reminder. l have reason to believe
that the Spanish Government considers the affair Of
the Black Warrior as virtually settled MIR. Soule
indeed, admitted as much verbally but on being
asked to make written and official communica.
non on the subject, he postponed doing go, and
went away leaving 1t undone. But there can be
scarcely reasonable doubt that the disagreeable
affair has been settled between Senior Cueto and
the American Government; and, even If 1t had not
been go, the recent removal of General Pezuela
from his post as Captain General of the Island
of Cuba would greatly facilitate Its anicable ad.
justment.

wheat crop In France is coming into the markets of
