This Cuba Question.-Our distant readers may
rest assured that there is nothing in the Black
Warrior case likely to bring about immediate
hostilities with Spair-nothing in the world
1t can hardly be brought to a fighting point
under four months, even if our Government
were disposed to use i. to the end of getting up
a Spanish war; as they clearly are not. Both
Houses, we take it, stand prepared to vote all the
means promptly, which may be necessary for
the vindi cation of our national rights, in case
the worst comes to the worst This will be done
perhaps in the course of the next month. And
there the matter bids fair to rest, until commu.
nications can pass and re-pass three or four
times between Washington and Madrid, with
results, which, it seems ~ US, must depend much
upon the state Of public affairs generally in
Europe If England and France have their
hands full, then Spain may be expected to
TO make ample amends in short order. If not,
she will probably buster and procrasti-
nate possibly going 80 far, as over this ques-
ton to invite rupture with US. We shall see
