Another Real Estate transaction.

Another Real Estate Transaction.
For several weeks past the air has been rife
with rumors to the effect that negotiations
were pending between the United States and
Spain for the purchase by the former of the
West Indian possessions of the latter. These
rumors have at last assumed tangible shape,
and by the latest news from Havana we are
given the terms of the bargain. 1t would
appear that the Hon. John P. Hale, our Minis
ter TO the Court of Madrid, has been conduct
ing the negotiations on the part of the United
States, and his views of the value of real
estate, and of the financial resources of this
country, put Mr.. Stewards peculiar notions in
very unfavorable light. Mr.. Seward, in his
dealings with foreign powers which have
much land and little money, never rises above
the paltry sum of seven millions and half
but Mr.. Hale proceeds on truly magnificent
scale, and the amount Of hard cash-green-
backs are below par even in Spain-which he
regards as fair price for "the ever-faithful
isle'' and its outpOsts is round $3.50, 900, 900.
OF this amount $50 000, 900 is to be paid down,
with the transfer of the property to the
United States; $50,000,000 is to be paid in a
year from the first instalment; and the re-
manning $50, ,OOO, 600 at the end of six years.
In return for this money, which, if it ever
finds its way into the Golfers of the Spanish
Court, will set the tottering dynasty of lisa.
bella II fairly on its feet we are to receive the
fee-simple of Cuba and Porto Rico. The former
of these islands, as is well known, is the largest
of all the West India groups, and by reason of
its size and fertility has received the title of
'The Queen of the Antilles" The Bahama
channel, by which it is separated from the
Peninsula of Florida, is but one hundred and
thirty miles in width at the narrowest part, so
that it is readily accessible, and is, therefore,
not open to the great objection of distance. It
is limited by the 74th and S5th degrees of west
longitude, and by 10 deg. 30 min. and % deg.
10 min. of north latitude. It's greatest length
is about six hundred and fifty miles from east
to west and its average breadth ffty-five
miles, while at one point, Cape de Cruz, it has
a width of full l10 miles. This gives it
a seacoast of 1000 miles, exclusive of the
numberless sinuosities which indent its bor-
ders, and an estimated area of "a, 800 square
miles, or more than the combined territory Of
the New England States, exclusive of Maine,
and full one thousand square miles more than
Indiana. In 1862 it had a population oi
1876, 535, including that of the small
: islands and keys adjacent to and de-
pendent upon it, At that time the white
| population was about 775, ,OOO the remaining
