the Cuhans must be recognized or they
must be abandoned to their fate.
This is not, however, the most oppor
tune time for action. The administration
and large majority of tho people of the
United States are. beyond question, in sym
patty with the struggling Cubans-our PEG,
pie sympathizs with all others who strug'
gle for freedom and independence. And
besides there is abiding faith that Cuba
will be annexed to the United sooner OF
later. But, then. the cause Of the Revolu
tionists is now very gloomy. Dlsorgani'
zation and dissension prevails in their ar
mics Jealousy and suspicion cripple their
efforts and weakens their strength.
Leading Generals are accused of tfeach
cry, and foreigners are suspected. And
Spain, too, is displaying renewed activity
to crush the instruction, Notwithstanding
her own internal troubles Her MARTA!
spirit, SO long dormant, aroused ut the in
science of the American Minister, will
brook no insolent dictation. The United
| States is in no condition to enter into any
foreign war. Her finances. her political
condition, her commerce, leave her little
discretion.
The weak and vacillating course of the
President, under the influences Of divid-
ed Cabinet has placed our Government in
an awkward and contemplate position,
and we believe the issue forced upon him
by the seizure of the Cuba would have been
avoided if possible. How he is to extricate
himself is a question of great interest
The Cuba anchored in our harbor flying
the colors of the " Republic Of Cuba" her
officers quietly enjoying themselves in our
city, is about to solve a question of inter
national moment which will probably set
tie the fate of the Cuban revolution and
shape the destiny of those people.

The MAN WAR "CUBA" AGAIN. -
Yesterday the Editor and Local of the
JOURNAL, together with II number of other
gentlemen, 10y kind invitation, visited the
steamship "Cnba,' where she now lays in
our port. We received our invitation ut
the hands of Captain Ingraham, the
gentlemanly commander of tho marines
corps, and from the gallant Lieutenant
Commander Dornin, the courteous Capt.
Ingraham and that chiv1lrous tar heel,
Lieutenant Telfuir, and the other noble
officers we experienced tho utmost cour-
tesy. We had the pleasure of dining
aboard the ship with our quiet party. and
to meet these brave mon gave us the utmost
pleasure. Her officers are undoubtedly
gentlemen of reputation and bearing, and
it is with pleasure we acknowledge them as
friends.
We were kindly and politely shown over
every part of the steamer. She measures
pa feet 10 length, 26 feet beam, and draws
10 feet water. Her armament consists Of
two howitzers, 12-pounder Dahlgreens,
two 60 and three 30-ponnder Parrot guns,
one of the latter being placed upon the
forecastle as q pivot gun. She has her full
compliment as a man war, with the
necessary corps of marines and sailors
under her own proper colOrs, the trl-
colored ensign of the yonng Republic OF
Cuba. She is calculated for every emer-
gency, and we have no doubt that she will
meet the worst nobly. Her officers and
men are of the true pluck and enthusiastic
in the cause in which she has embarked.
In surveying every part OF this noble
steamer, and in courteous exchange Of sem
timent and converse with her officers our
time was spent, and so agreeable was our
trip that we were 10th to depart. But the
departure of time warned Us homeward
and We returned full of pleasant recollec-
tons of our visit, which We have determ-
ined shall not be the last.
