" AsHlNIluN, uti' 10.
A caucu, Of Democratic Senators was held
Yesterday on the Presidents Recommendation
In, reference to Cuba. A debate of three or
four hours in length ensuei, involving the
question whether any steps should be taken
in relation to it; and if So, Of what charac-
ter according 10 the best attainablc intorna-
ton.
Mr. Mason made the opening speech, and
was followed by Mcssrs. Hunter and Shields.
Though favorable to the acquisition OF Cuba,
they thought action at this time impolitic,
end calculated to impair rather than to I'M
prove our prospects to that end.
Mr.. Douglas regarded the Appearances as
gloomy but would support Mr.. Nlidell $ bull,
placing in the hands of the President So
UVo, 900, to be used in negotiating. lie eX-
pressed the belief that the President would
not endorse this measure without sufficient
data 10 Justify him in 50 dong. Mr.. Douglas
had long desired the acquisition OF Cuei.-
In his Judgment there was but one mode ,and
that was on the happening OF another case
similar to that of the Black Warrion,t To seize
the island by way Of reclamation, and ncSo-
tiate afterward. Mr.. Davis and others dld
not look 10 the suggestion OF Mr.. Douglas
The discussion at this stage became intensely
interesting, the best ability OF the pa
pants therein being put forth Mr.. siidel'
Of course, advocated his Own.
Mcssrs. Davis. Toombs, Gwin, Bigler and
Clay favored the idea OF Increasing u a
sufficient extent the foreign intercourse luna
leaving the matter TO the discretion Oh tue
President, as Iii previous cases. Mr.. lvers,h
thought Spain could be wearled with the
question of Cuba by repeal of such parts

BaIlous Pictorial of Path July Says Realizing the
true sense of responsibility attaching 10 the Editor

years ago. sudden and violent attack upon my Lungs
confined me to my bed for several weeks. and when
recovered, was so much oppressed by difficulty OF
breathing, that often unable to sleep or rest up
on bed by night. The suffering extreme, and
Judging from the ipeffcacy OF the remedies used, l
supposed the disease incurabe. Being persuaded to
try bottle of Wistars Balsam of Wild Cherry with
out any confidence in its efficacy found the difficulty
almost entirely removed before one bottle was used

to make this statement and recommend the article TO
others similarly afflicted.

EXTRAORDINARY DROUGHT IN SCoTLAND.-Ac-
counts from Scotland state the drought during
May and part of June was more severe than du-
ring any past year since 1926. The rivers Earn
and Tay were nearly dry-the famous Doom,
immortalized by Burns, wOuld slide through q
gallon measure, and other well known streams
and rivers were thoroughly dried up. In some
places water was so scarce that in villages it was
sold at five shillings per barrel and many had
to go miles for water for their cattle. The crops,
notwithstanding, are reported as looking excel
lent; and recent rains will no doubt advance
them considerably.
