yictimized publishers looked for the re-
naming chapters, but in vain. They
never came to hand. Finding they had

In the Senate on the oath, Mr. Slidell from the

granting S3OOO0,000 to facilitate the acquisition
of Cuba by negotiation, as recommended by the
President. The report assumes that the acquis-

Cuba might be acquired in three ways. First
by achieving its own independence, in which case
the island would soon be annexed. Secondly
conquest, which would involve general war. Third
by purchase, now proposed. The President
wants it only by honorable means, except in case
of overrung necessity, measure ofself-defence
The report urges Congress to sanction the proposed
renewal of negotiations by passing the bill
In the House, Mr. Branch of n. G., from the
committee on Foreign Relations, reported bill
similar to Mr. Slidell's. The committee hoped
there never would be necessity to seize the Is
land but if it should occur, it should be only on
the basis when all other means to acquire it other
wise have been exhausted.
The bill of Mr. Branch is identical with that
passed by Congress for the purchase of Louisiana,
as also the So ,OOO, 900 bill of Mr. Folks admins
tration. It is carefully worded and guarded, pro-
vdng among other things, that no portion of the
money appropriated iseto be expended until after
the conclusion of treaty with Spain in which she
agrees to cede the island and that an accurate ac-
count is to be rendered Congress of the manner in
which the money is used. "a SO -.
