Cuban question excitement Us prevailing in
Madrid and Paris on the 11th instant.
Madrid (Sept 10Y cor. London Standard bod.
In addition to the scenes of Tuesday night,
Madrid has been turned upside down by the re-
port that the United States Government was
going to recognize the Cuban rebels as bellige-
rents. l can give you no idea of the intensity
of excitement this has caused. The Spanish
Government have long been following mystic
rious policy respecting Cuban intelligence. No
thing appears in the papers, official as well as
unofficial, but the most CHEEKY news. Not
wCrd of the horrible crueties and barbarities
carried on in Cuba, and not word of the for
midable proportions the insurrection has as
the Epoca Isabeltino, on Sunday night
went so far Us to publish some Cuban
news of doleful import, received by
it direct from persons of great veracity in the
island. 1t intimated the probability of losing 1t
if prompt exertions on grand scale were not
made and it called on the government to lose
not an instant in despatching the entire army
and navy. The sensation this created was in
tense, the people waking up for the first time,
thanks to thesecretive policy of the government,
to the possibility, nay extreme probability, OF the
island succeeding in severing its connection with
Spain. On the top of all this the excitement
was increased by the next evenings EpOcd,
which contained the following startling an
nouncement:-
News OF high gravity has come to afict our
hearts as spanards It Is said that the representa-
presence has been the sad omen (trste agHero for
the interests of our country has passed, in compi
that OF Span in which he announces that the state
| of public opinion in the North American republic
will probably oblige them to recognize the Cuban
Rebels as belgerents something more says the
despatch, OF which we ought not to make mention,
II the ops 10 s " WIN Ss same Sa
in Madrid, have not as yet taken any
action that we learn OF, except Communicating
SiIyela, Who are both in VcRy When NV we wrote ae
about Cuba yesterday, dolefully impressloned our
heart said to we might even expect greater evils
Cuba is in danger TO this cry is not with dsmay
we ought to answer, but with the spirited enthus-
asm of our better times! CUBA is in danger! To
this beautiful portion of the Spanish nation,
the en army ought to be translated TO those shores
to present gallant display of the vitality OF our
pubcans, or any other parties who cherish the idea
OF combating the present situation by force,
moment, when it is Indispensable we should
unite all our strength, cease their rancors
revolution has conceded the right OF public meeting
What more worthy occasion could we have to eXer-
strate to that great republic that Spain but one
WILL when the saving OF the integrity of her territory
is concerned. Let the men OF all parties unite and
have meetings in every city, town, and village. The
loss Of Cuba will be the dishonor OF the revolution
All the papers copied this, and Madrid at this
moment is in a blaze of patriotism, the general
desire being to put forth the entire strength of
the nation to reconquer Cuba 1t is said that
| 20, 600 men are to go off within the next ten
days; 5000 of these sail next week.

| good deal of attention is excited here by the
note sent by the United States Government to
Madrid respecting Cuba The Patrie says that
| Spain is going to send iron-clads to the West
Indies and is chuckllng at the prospect of
war between the Spaniards and the Yankees.
Our transatlantic cousins have grown all of

| really don't know whether / dare venture to
| point out that their treatment of Spain exceeds
even the customary Yankee disregard of com

being in a difficulty, the United States choose
| this moment to try and wrest Cuba from her.
This is requital for the conduct of Spain in
| closing her ports against the Confederate

after all, though proyerb-"0 "0ignez UiUdt,i, il
