THE NEW ALLY OF CUBA AND
THE REVOLUTION IN HAVANA.
(NeW l0rk Times, June J.

NN'SS
The recognition of the belligerent
rights of the Cuban revoIutionists by the
Government of Peru may prove to have
something more than a moral value.
There has been no declaration of peace
between Spain and Peru since the war of
1864 and 1S65-lhough all parties agreed
TO the conference for the settlement of
outstanding difficulties which was pro-
posed bv Secretary Seward, and which
was to tie held at Washington. The two
countries may be said to be still in a hos
tile attitude ; for, though Spain has not
for four years taken any active steps
against the Peruvians, she has refused to
recede from her claims, to accede to the
terms of Peru, or to recognise the close Of
the war.
Peruvians feel deeply aggrieved at the
conduct of Spain, as well during the TX
lstence of actual hoStiIities as since the
Spanish fleet was withdrawn. It was be-
cause President Pezet was not sufficiently
active in his measures against SpAlA4hat
his Government was Overthrown-the
present President, Colonel Balta, is a
man of a different character, who is sure
to take a much more spirited and bellige-
rent course. The Cuban troubles have
given him his opportunity and, in taking
the initiative in The recognition of Cuban
belligerency, he has, doubtless, his eye on
the advantages which The step will afford
for the settlement of the existing difficult
ties, and the assertion of the rights and
claims, of his own country. The Peru
yians nave now the first chance of taking
the offensive; for, in former times, having
no navy, and no means of reaching their
adversary, they could d. nothing beyond
attempting to keep back the ships with
which the Spanish admiral bombarded
their towns. But, being themselves in a
state of quasi-war with Spain, and having
the ironcIads which they procured in this
country last year, it is in their power to
render aid and comfort to the enemies of
Spain in Cuba while taking steps to settle
matters, on their own account, with the
Spanish enemy.
The bitter hostility against Spain of all
the Spanish-American Governments and
peoples is a result Of the tyrannical con-
duct of Spain when her power was su-
preme on this continent. The several re-
pubIics that formed themselves from her
colonies won their independence after
desperate struggles but the demeanour
of Spain towards them while colonies,
and her savage treatment of them in time
of war, as we'll as the constant spirit of
aggression she has displayed towards
them since they threw off her yoke, have
, 1869-07-20

ready to Dreak 1OrCn In war WNeu tlle op-
portunity is offered. We have seen this
in the recent action of Mexico towards
Cuba, and we see it now again in the ac-
ton of Peru.
AS for the Cuban revoIutionists them
selves, they keep up the struggle with
unexpected persistence. The Spanish
troops meet with poor success in crushing
out the rebellion. Spain holds Havana
and Matanzas, and a few other large
towns; but beyond these, her domination
is practically a~nnihiIated, and the whole
native population are united against her.
The present summe will try her strength
to the utmost; and ifsuch troubles should
arise in Spain as would cause the with
drawal of any part of the army, the re-
volution would quickly triumph, and Co.
spedes would find himself the president
of an independent republic.
(New York Herald, June ~
Nothing could exhibit in a palmer light
the progress which the patriot arms are
making in Cuba than the revolutionary
movement which the mob Of Spanish vol
unteers in Havana has just made in de-
posing General DuIce from command and
installing his now powerleSs successor in
the government of a portion of the island
still held by the Spanish troops. This
mob is composed of from eight to ten
thousand ignorant Spaniards, who have
migrated to Cuba in pursuit 'of fortune.
They come generally from the lowest class
of the population in Spain, and fill the
corner groceries of the city and country
to the exclusion Of every other class from
the occupations of the retail trade. Living
entirely in their shops and exercising the
closest thrift, they seldom have married
in the country, and are never admitted to
any of the circles of Cuban society.
Their sole ambition has been to gather a
few thousand dollars with which to return
to Spain, where it requires but a small
fortune to constitute a great man.
The advent of the revolution menaced
the very existence of their hopes, and
gave rise 10 the bitterest hatred against
the Cubans. This feeling has been fos-
tered by the unwiseIy bombast course of
the Government and press, and the result
is that every expected victory, which
proves 10 be an empty success, or perhaps
a defe g'ads them to frenzy against the
officer ii, have failed TO accomplish
incre, j., promises or fulfil impossible
hopes. To-day they find their traffic des-
troyed, their notes given for their stock
in-trade falling due, and themselves on
the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. Vic
tory is their only safety, and it must come
soon, or it will be worthless to them.
The march of events has gradually shown

BOYNTON'S ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range, which has Just
been completed is offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate some of the peculiar advan-
tages this Range possesses
| First-It is more beautiful in form and design
| than any other pattern.
Second-It has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, affording larger accom-
| modations for Cooking purposes.
Third-It has smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range for the simple that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open CRATE in front and water back in the rear
forming two sides of the fire las i'll all other pattern
ranges both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso-
lutely necessary to burn larger amount of fuel
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns and is more like the French Kitch-
eners making it much more convenient and EASY
| for the cook.
| Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible
placed in natural position (being in the body Of
the Range) instead of above the ovens as in other
patterns.
| Sixth-The ovens do not project over the boiling
surface so as to make it announcement in removing
| the boilers, as in other patterns.
| Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
veying the steam to chimneys and controlling the
| draft, than most ranges.
| Eghth-The ovens bake more evenly, as we have
return flue the top of the oven (which is the
point that most often faiis thus securing perfect
| baking oven on the top as well as the bottom.
Ninth-The hues in this range are all complete in
themselves, so that is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (Which absorbs the heat and makes the
| setting of them much more simple and sure
| Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
/ plumbing work be repaired, if necessary with
out disturbing the brick work.
