CUBA.
What the Washington Authorities Propose
70 Oo...NapoleOn's Policy.

NEW YORK, September IS.-It is
stated that it is not the intention OF
the administration to push the settle
| ment of the Cuban difficulties for the
present. nor to do anything that
would be likely to irritate Spain and
| provoke a war with her. Matters
| will probably be allowed TO drift
/ along as they have been doing, in the
! hope that the Spanish Government
! will finally accept the Sickles prOpO-
/ sitiOn.
/ A special dated Paris, September
/ II, says Gen. Prim's second and latest
audience with Napoleon was of sever
al hours duration, the subject of con-
versatiOn atlOrding cause for a very
considerable amount of anxious out
side speculation. 1t has been pretty
accurately yascertained to-day that the
present situation Of affairs in Cuba, the
revolution, and the chances Of its re-
preston. as well as the probable
future of the islands as regard its
form of government and right
of rule, We're discussed. The Em-
perOr advised an amicabIe arrange
Gent between the Spanish authorities
aud Cabinet in Washington on the
matter Of American desire for the ac-
QUESTION Of territory by purchase, adj |
ding, toward the close Of his well-cOn-
sidered remarks, his opinion to the |
effect that if the war continued with |
its present attendant barbarities, Pres |
ident Grant would be compelled to |
interfere between the commanding |
parties, if only in behalf and for the |
cause OF humanity. Gen. Prim said |
that he was, himself, personally will |
ling 10 negotiate with the American |
authorities in the direction indicated |
by the rules Of France, but that Spain /
and his feilOw-cOuntrymen at large 4
were opposed to such a course.
Napoleon, in reply, advised Gen.
Prim and the Spaniards 10 initiate in |
this Ease his own example, and give
up Cuba just as he had given up Mex
leo, before If was too late to do so with
honor.
Sickles has proposed a new plan Of
on the Cuban question.
Spain Is an intense state of excite
ment; blazing and boiling over, it
may be said, on account of news from
Cuba, the reports from Washington
and Paris, and the adherence Of
in Madrid, to the policy of
- sell or perhaps lose.
Five war steamers, with other YES
sells OF the navy, are about to be dis
patched to Cuba. They will, it is
said, sail at an early day.
MADRID, September lS.-The Span
ish press has been in a complete state
Of feFment excitement and indigna-
lion since the presentation of Dan y,
Sickles' note to the Government. Some 4.
