The Cause and Probable Termination of
the Cuban InsnIfnctinn. -

The Cause and Probable Termination of
the Cuban InsurTection.
THE New York Posi- of last evening concludes
an article on the instruction in Cuba with the
following passage:-
'Ii The movement is what we suppose, it is
not in the hands of mere ilibusters, but of men
who mean liberty and Justice and peace, la
place OF oppression and Londage."
Our opinion comedies with that expressed by
our New York contemporary We do not think
that it is mere effervescent outburst, but are
inclined to believe that it Is the determined and
desperate endeavor OF people to free them.
selves from spanish rule. The news Of the in.
surrection, coming to US as it does from both
Havana and Panama, appears to have a color Of
tluthfulness which gives it the appearance of
fact. Taking it for granted, then, that revolt
has actually been instituted, let us look at the
cause, and seek to guess the termination. The
situation OF Cuba, so near the United States,
has caused, oil late years, general visitation TO
our country by all Of the Cubans of the upper
class. We may safely infer that nearly every
educated citizen Of Cuba has at some time
in his life paid visit to America Staying with
US short time, they become imbued with our
political notions. They see each indi-
vidual protected, property regarded as
sacred, and all, from the richest to the
poorest in the land, guarded by law. Many of
these visitors being young men, coming here to
complete their education, are impressed at the
time with doctrines which become fixed beliefs.
When, therefore, they have returned to their
native land, and see her oppressed by foreigners,
see themselves subjected to the attacks OF
gross tyranny, and with but the slight protection
CT a Governors favor to save then property,
they naturally look with regret at the land they
have left, and seek to have their land governed
by the same principles as ours. THIS process of
migration has been going on for years, and now
the citizens are all alive for action. Tyranny
has been the cause; now what will be the result?
The power of Spain has of late been broken.
she has lost all her preStige-a little republic
like Chill has dared her and defeated her. She
is dead State-dead in morals, in power in all

fore, at this time Cuba should rise and be as.
sisted by the South American republics, as she
undoubtedly would he, we cannot but entertain
a reasonable hope aud expectation that she will
succeed IN her effort and achieve her lndepon-
dence. 1t will require union and bravery. The
latter is assured, and if the other be achieved,
then vctery and liberty are certain.
The Tribune this morning sounds the tocsin
in favor OF the Rebels, in an article which con-
cudes as ioilows:-
whether the news which reached us yester-
day iIom Cuba, via Baltimore Corroborated as
it Is by advices i1om Panama, shall or shall not
prove exaggerated, we cannot doubt that the
knell OF Spanish domination over the Queen of
the Antilles has sounded. Spain was Gorcioy
expelled, some forty years ago, from this cont-
lent, though large portion oil it had long been
known as the Spanish Man;' she is now on the
point OF being ousted from the last of ner more
considerable American ISLANDS. And there Is

"Cuba has long been the brightest level in the
Spanish crown, yielding very considerable
revenue to the Government, and vast wealth to
favored individuals among her people. And
never was desirable possession treated Wltn
more selfish and shameless disregard of moral
Obligations and the better opinion OF Chrislen-
dom. Spain has drawn from Cuba she could,
and returned as little as possible.
"Agam we say, 1t matters little to the grand
result that the present effort is or is not sue

and insepaIable-are doomed TO a speedy end in
Cuba The world is fully advertised that the
Cubans are resolved to be free, and to give nee

bondage more complete though not more
detested than their own. The Monroe doc
