Cuba.

The announcement, in yesterdays
Enquirer, o f III e proposition of
Spain to sell Cuba to the United
States for Si50,O00,OOC, recalls TO
mind some of the leading points in
the history of that island Among
the earliest discoveries of COLUMBUS,
who first touched there in October,
1892, shortly after the discovery of
Hespanolia, or Hayti, it was until
1908 thought to be a part of the
American continent, when it was
circumnavigated by Spanish adj
venturer, NICHOLAS OvAUDo by
name, and its insula position ascer-
tanned. Three years later, the first
Spanish settlement was made on
the island, under Don DIEGO VELAs-
oUEz. Afterward the island remain
ed uninterruptedly in the possession
of the Spaniards until 1741, when
the English made an unsuccessful
