The Acquisition Of Cuba.
Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. 1850

NASHISGT0S, Jan. 10, 1899
The movement, looking to the acauisi,
ton Of Cuba is regarded here By all par
ties as a mere clectioucerin. dodge. Ii
is desperate attempt by Democratic lea
de-s to raise new issue with which to
divert public attention from their wretch
ed Encouragement Of the national finan
ces and from the embarrassing quest ION
attending the revival of the African
slave trade. They have not the slightest
hope of acquiring Cuba, either by pur-
chase or acquisition, and laugh openly
IN private at the folly Of expecting Spain
to relinquish her most valuable province
The movement il a humbug--a tranxpar,
ent trick--the last device Of batfied aud
despairing politicians They wish to
get up popular agitation fur the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba, aud then charge upon the
Republicans the inevitable failure Of the
attempt to acquire it.
Their recent Senatorial caucus Wa a
sham-the mere cloak Of a cut and dried
prDgramme-the object of it being to fix
public attention upon the matter The
caucus affected great secrecy, but a writ
ten account Of rho proceedings was han.
ded to reporter soon after the meeting
disolved, and the Sen tors themselves
have since taken pains to make it public,
being apparently totally unconscious Of
the atroclty of their propositions. Their
speeches, reported by themselves, sound
like the plottings of bandi,ti or pirates
planning the seizure Of some rich town
Mr. Frederick said, on hearing an accoun.
Of the caucus, that it resomblod the NEE
