PARIS, Sept. 25.-The Constitutional

ton of Baden, and declaring that such an
act would be considered just cause of war.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Times this
morning, 10 q leader on the Cuban
question, says: He must be clever man
who can determine the intentions of the
United States with respect to Cuba. There
are two parties in the United States. Oae
fsyors non-iuterventioD, and the other APP
proves Minister Sickles' course And
finally, there is President Grant, who vi
brates be W zen the two. But there cannot
be two opinions in regard to the blunder
which Gen. Sickles has made, The
prospect of the sale or loss of Cuba
has caused a general and violent commo-
ton in Madrid, and the Spanish govern.
ment is bound 10 be extremely careful net
to wound the natural su5ceptibilities.
There is no indication as to the readiness
of the Spanish TO fight against any odds
when honor is at stake. The only ques-
ton is whether they are in condition to
fight at all. If the possession of Cuba is
made point of honor, justice will help
Spain better than force.
Spain must consider whether she has q
valid cause IN the Antilles. However
anxious Europe may be to recognize the
validity Of Spanish rights, she will have TO
INQUIRE what use has been made of them.
Europe not long agossshrunk in Ameri.
ca from what she deemed just and gen.
erous cause.
Austria and France may feel desire to
regain the prestige they lost in Mexico,
but they must refute the assertion that the
war in Cuba is commented on in manner
contrary to the principles OF hum
anity. They must incur no risks
in completely of deeds of bloodshed,
nor must they bear ont pretensions
of Spain refusing the right and reasonable
demands Of her colonies. The principles
ofrigh e }usness must prevail over political
interest and expediency. The sympathies
of the world will be with Spain in proper
ton as her treatment of the colonists is
just.
