ENGLAND ON CUBA.

The following occurs in the dis
patches of the 22nd instant {:
The Telegraph, Ministerial organ, i
moderate in tone. It says, IN regard to tn
independence OF Cuba, England is unbiased
but at the same time it admits that Eng
lands interest can be best subserved b,
Spain retaining her authority in the Island
Tie article does not say, however, that in
any case it shall be the business of England
to interfere to prevent Cuban independence
but it maintains that the good Offices OF Eng.
land might prove useful to avert quarrel
between Spain and America. 1t designates
the affair of the ship Mary Lowell mad act
duplicating England, SPANS best friend,
unless the latter country offers reparation for
the insult. The article then goes on to argue
that the Cubans cal- never willingly attach
themselves to the United States.
This is about the sort of thing we
have been expecting. 1t will be
observed that the Telegraph is " a
Ministerial .organ"-that is to say, it
says wha: the present English Govern
4" unbiased" for when was he other
wise. He merely wants things all his
own way that's all. The tone of the
Telegraph ia of that semi-translucent
character known as diplomatic. 1t
speaks in hinis and destinations and is
meant to convey to Uncle Sam the por-
tentuous warning that the Yankees
Lad better 60 slow if they would not
tsSe the chances of mourning the dis
pleasure of the said pompous John.
Noting the expressions tina. " Englaud's
interest can best be subserved by Spain
retaining her authority in the Island"
and athe good oiaces OF England might
prove useful to avert a quarrel between
Spain and America" and putting thi,
and that together, one infers that our
GovsEnmsn. is cautioned not to offend
Ike British Lion if it would avoid an
alliance between England and Spain for
the purpose of protecting the interests
Of the latter. Then mark the tone in |
W nseaathe Mary howell affair is alluded |
to. When did England ever before
allude to an insult to her dignity in so
gingesly, supercilious fashion? 1t
says in effect 10 the Government at
Make US an apology, in
friendly, easy going way, just to take
the raw edge off, and we can then, with
all propriety, stand at your back to
repress any Yankee Representations

This sort of talk is neither honest or
