WASHINGTON, April oi.-Grim visaped
war is turned into broad grin. The El
Dorado affair is about as ridiculous in its
termination as that Of 0stend. Com
menccd III bonbast, it could not result in
any thing short Of absurdity. Here, we
have made, in little more than Il year, no
less than three warlike demonstrations for
Cuba. On the 18Th of March Of last wear
the Black Warrior message came Ia the
House of Representatives. That was an
invitation to war, which Congress de.
clined. and in fact never noticed thanks
10 the prudence Of the House Committee
on foreign relations. Then things i'd
yanced towards point for acquiring Cuba
by purchase, or menace, or by war. But
tRs soon as the point WAS reached, at which
we must act, the Administration prudent
ly retired from it. Next came the recent
excitement, which the President and some
Of his Cabinet thought available for war.
But how soon was the war starch taken
out OK them by the strongly expressed
opinions OF the American public. Now
while the President and bis Cabinet agree
upon this subject, We all agree with them
There is no longer any apparent disagree
ment as TO the Cuban question. We
have learned. by the late agitation, thai
the Administration had not authorized
any newspaper y declare war for them
against Cnba. ORGANISING. hereafter, vii
be.discredted. Tie Administration tse
nray be credited also. with more Of III,
element of conservatism than i has beer
supposed TO possess. .'Thc ruling part O

voking war at present. 1t did thrice
try the game and thrice give UP the game
Commodore McCauley's errand is peace
full, and will tend To allav irritation. I'll,
answer is ready for his demand, and j
will b. in conformity with tho demand
that the Spanish cruisers shall not inter
rupt our commerce on the high seas
Everybody will support the Administrator
in that position, and Span viii not fail /,
