LONDON, Dec. 23.--Fenianism is still en-
crossing fair share of public attention

this idea, and believes the next session of
Parliament will be occupied with the con-
sideration of Irish affairs.

HAVANA, Dec. 12, via LARE CRY, Dec l8
We have further and authentic news from
Madrid In relation to the sale of the Spanish
West Indian possessions. 1t conveps the
important Information that the Spanish
Government has made formal offer to the
American Minister at Madrid, the Hon. Jno.
p. Hale to sell the islands of Cuba and
Porto Rico to the United States for one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars In gold.
The terms of sale are as follows: Fifty mil
lion dollars in gold are to bc paid down in
cash on the signing of the treaty and the
formal delivery of the island to the authori1
ties of the United States. A second fifty
million dollars in gold to be paid one year
thereafter The third instalment Of fifty
millions in gold to be paid at the end of six
years. The public heart is beating with
anxiety at the announcement, and great ex-
ctement prevails, as the" extinguishment OF
Slavery here will be one of The consequences
of this sale. 1t was hoped by some that
Spain would abolish the institution in time
to save her national pride The acquisitions
made by the United States from Russia and
Denmark that of Louisiana from France,
anG of Florida from Spain herself are now
referred to as precedents that leave the La
tional honor of Spain in this bargain unas-
sailabe. The sharp scent of Yankee specu'
lation is instanced by the fact that an
American company has already, on the
strength of the above reports, purchased
Guajaba Island, near Nuevitas. They in
tend to colonizo it, and are about to pu,
| 80, 900 acres of it under cultivation. Thus
the last hopes of the slave traders are gone
