WHAT SPAIN THINKS OF THE CUBA QUESTION By the last European steamer we have the following report of the manner in which the Cuba stealing project is regarded by the Government of Spain
 In the Chamber of Deputies, a call having been made for the production of the papers relative to the negotiations between the United States France and England, for the acquisition of Cuba by Amer ica, the Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that some Deputies had expressed the desire to see the administration of Cuba improved, and the Presi- dent of the United States expressed the same wish
 The opinion of the President was that Spain did not administer Cuba we'll, and that the United States, on account of their higher intelligence, had mor- al duty to fulfill which was to purchase the island The Government could not allow this idea about Cuba to remain uncontradicted. All Governments had labored to improve the condition of that island
 and the present Cabinet had been constantly occu- pied with measures calculated to give the inhabi- tants of the island the share they ought to in their internal administration, without comprom- ising the ties which unite them to the mother coun try. The best reply to the representations of cer-
 tain orators of the United States was the prosper- iy of the island of Cuba. That the question of the acquisition of the island was imposing and mena- cling could not be denied Nevertheless, the Gov ernment declared that it felt all the security which it's great national resources calculated to in spire. It had not however, rendered insult for n- question. It had conducted itself with prudence and dignity, and had not applied for assistance to any other power If any foreign power had offered assistance the Government would have felt grate. ful but it would not have accepted of it., because it did not think any aid was necessary. As no di- plomatic documents existed Oil the question-which happily was almost terminated-the Government hoped M Badia would be satisfied with the expla- nation given, and withdraw the motion.

How BRANDY rs MADE.-The N. Y. Tribune
contains the following A glass of brandy now
a-days, makes man drunk and three of them
are good for an attack of detsrsum trenaeaas.-
Three fourths of the brandy sold in this city is
nothing but alcohol drugged with poison. Oil
of cognac, the article most generally employ ed
for this purpose, commands a very high price
Joseph Hughl went to Philip Black of Second
avenue, on Saturday, with what he represented
as pound of this oil, from which 400 gallons of
brandy might be made, and readily induced him
to give $40 for it. Black subsequently discov-
cred that hehad bought only cognac ether, worth
81. The cork of the bottle was scented with the
genuine article, and the package so made up as
to favor the fraud. Hughl was arrested ana
committed by Justice Brennan
