WASHINGTON, June ., 1904
The Administration, it is hoped and believed,
have disembarrassed themselves of the small
questions of dispute which had been made with
Spain, in regard to trifiing revenue matters, and
he improbable AfricanizateR story, and are
now prepared to approach the great object in
view that is, the acquisition of Cuba in an open
md direct manner. They are expected now to
ay plainly. through the two proposed Commits
sioners to the Spanish Government, that the
United States want Cuba and must have it, and
intend to have it. They will represent to Spain
hat the possession of Cuba by the United states
) a part and parcel of our manifest destiny
hat it will be commercially convenient ana Pc
titically desirable; and, further, that Spain
.annot much longer hold it without more ex
oense than it is worth, nor even consistently
with a continued peace between her and the
United States and that we are more willing to
BUY il than to 20 to war to obtain 1t. 1t, then,
Spain refuse to sell, the Commissioners will say
that we leave the offer open to acceptance with
in a reasonable time, ana that, if it be not ac-
,epted, we shall atour convenience, " some 4th
If July or some Sth of January, proceed to
take it, free gratis. That, imagine, is the
present position and the present policy of the
Administration on this subject. Next week,
perhaps, this view of the matter will be con-
frmed.
When the subject of the appropriation for the
two special Ministers to Spain shall have come
before Congress, presume we shall have dis
cussion involving the expediency of the acqui-
sition and annexation of Cuba, with war or
without war, with money without, with
slavery or without Even the financial ques-
ion will not be unimportant; and it may be
considered whether two hundred millions will
not be q very heavy load for the treasury and
for the public credit to bear, and whether it is
not too much to pay for the benefit of the Creole
and American spectators in this enterprise. 1t
ought to be at least required that the parties
who are directly interested in the measure
should pay half the amount, either of the pur-
chase money or the war.
When this subject shall come up, as it will, if
Congress persist in prolonging the session, it
must cause discussion of more Importance and
interest, if not SO tedious in length, than the
Nebraska bill
The Senate, out of regard to the absentees Of
that body, met to day only to adjourn over to
next week The House is manifestly indisposed
to act upon any business
The Reciprocity and Fishing Convention re-
Gently concluded here is not essentially differ
emit from that which was framed at Berkeley
springs last summer. There will be, / find,
much delay in procuring for it the sanction of
the U. S. Senate and of the Provincial Conyen-

NEWSPAPERS AND EDITORS What millions
of newspapers are daily read on this round
earth And how little thought do the mass OF
readers cast back of the curtain, behind which
this type leviathan, the newspaper press, plumes
itself for the instruction and amusement of the
world How little do they know of the toll and
unrest which amultitude of mental genii UNDER
go daily, in preparing the banquet of intellect
and humor for their rapacious palates, They
take up the newspaper, bright and scintillating !;
it amuses, interests, or charms them; and not
one in the thousand but thinks this product of
hand and bran--more brilliant than the sor-
cerer's enchantment--is of as easy and simple
culture as the turnips in farmers garden.
To the mass the editor is all creative, weariless
ubiquitous. He can give them sermons and
sonnets, political economies and philosophical
distractions, a monody or joke, eulogy or
an epitaph, as readily as the tree, shaken by
a gusty wind, drops its ripened fruit Days,
months and years, pent up and reereatiye, his
brain seems to them of endless and infinitely
various capacity. He can think for them, make
their opinions and, in word, tell them all the
world is about what it has been about, and
whatit will be about to the end of time And for
all this, to them seemingly simple labor--in
reality mightier than all other progressive and
revolutionary forces--they pay from one to
three dirty pennies per day, and there their
care for the editors trials and enjoyments ends.

WASHINGTON MoNUMEST.-A correspondent Of
the Baltimore Clipper, writing from Washing
ton, says:
"From what we can learn, we believe that
the operations on the monument have been con-
Quoted economically, and that the managers
have resorted to every means for raising money
which discretion has suggested. But it is due
to the public at large that a full statement of
all the Societys affairs should be laid before
the world. This, we doubt not, would tend to
remove any prejudice which may probably exist
regarding monumental concerns.
&c The question now is, in the crisis in the
affairs of the association, shall the monument
remain at its present height (l55 feetl unfu-
ished, or will native americans throughout the
country at once contribute the means, and ele,
vate the marble to the clouds The exultant
vetors in the elections just past, and to come
may well afford substantial tokens in honor Of
the Father of the country, the interests o
which, we trust, may never be entrusted tt
other than patriot hands,

LETTER FROM HAVANA - The Washington
Evening Star of the 9th inst. gives the following
extract from letter from Havana, lately re

May:
sThe free negro and mulatto population, it
will be remembered, showed signs Of great re-
pugnance to the idea Of their Incorporation into
the army four weeks ago, when the news that
he Government designed using them after that
fashion first became known in the shape of flying
and somewhat doubtful rumors. Their idea
then was, that they were merely about to be
used us a bait, for some unknown purpose
Hence the then existing repugnance to the pro
ject, on their part But no sooner was the order
of the 26th of May promulgated formally, than
they rushed forward in masses to enlist. They
we're made to comprehend that they are to com
prise quite third of the entire military force
Of the Government on the Island, and are to
serve in all the various regiments in detached
companies, four to each battalion; and thus this
change took place in their sentiments. Even
now the square of Belen, the point at which
they are being enlisted, is full Of them, almost
to suffocatior. Their impatient cries for arms
forhode impending ruin, and generate universal
alarm here. Wealthy planters, well affected
towards the Government, and others who up to
this time have been disposed to maintain the

WASHINGTON, June Sit has already been
announced to you that the Spanish Government
had agreed to remit the fine of $4,000 imposed
on the owners of the Black Warrior 1t now
appears by the dispatches and letters to the
Spanish and English Ministers, to our own Go
yernment and to others in this city, that the
Spanish Government positively refused to allow
any damage that may have resulted to the
owners of the Black Warrior. But the English
Government, fearing rupture between Spain
and the United States, interposed at this point
of the negotiations and induced Spain to agree
to pay all reasonable losses. Spain has accord
ingly asked our Government for an estimate Of
the actual damages. This difficulty, therefore,
rs far as money is concerned, may be considered
as settled. Photographed to the N. Y. Herald
