the statement that the President never contem-
plated calling an extra session of Congress to
consider the Cuban question:. Nor has the gov-
crnmcnt official information that an expedition

movements are diminishing in importance and
that compromise may be effected. Sensational
rumors recently published are calculated to ad-
put in circulation by Cubans who hoped thus to
create capital for their cause.'

The Senate ratified the treaty with France, pro-
ecting the trade mark of respective citizens.
Replying to Forney's delegation President
Grant is reported to have said he was very happy
to hear they intended to make the "trip. He
hoped it would be productive of the best re-
suits. Nothing would do more to properly re-
construct the South than white loyal emigration.
