ENGLAND
LONDON, September 22.-The Times
says that tie Spanish have found ad
vantage Ia a bold display Of patriot
ismaand national courage. They met
an imagined affront with immediate
defiance, though their threatened ad-
versary is ten times more powerful
than themselves. General Eickles is
manifestly alarmed at the result of
his proceedings, aud has requested
further instructions. Pending a re-
ply from Washington he desires to
withdraw his note IF this is the
actual position of the case, Spain
owes it to her own fearlessness, which
| may SAVIOR OF unreas0n, but does not
partake of the nature of bravado.
She has declared that if driven to
extremity. she will fight No doubt
she will; but for her to gain any ad
vantage by doing so is out Of the
question. As matters stand, she will
lose less by war than her adversary.
America may fairly decline an easy
victory, on such onerous and partial
terms. The people and government
of Spain are resolved not to part with
Cuba without a struggle. A contest
could only result in the sacrifice of
Cuba, coupled with other, but slight
er, losses. Sickles expected no such
resistance as his note provoked, and,
possibly, in the face Of such oDposi-
ton, his proceedings may be qualified
or repudiated by his government. It
is believed that he exceeded his au-
thority, and America cannot be held
responsible for his acts.
LONDON, Sept. 2l.-The Ritualists,
Clerical and Lay are just now deeply
excited over the contents of the letter
or rescript of Pope Plus the Ninth,
In which His Holiness repudiates the
idea Of non-Catholios or persons not
In full communion with the Catholic
Church attending at the Ecuminical
Council in Rome, and taking part in
the proceedings. Ruzyism or Ritual
ism will not do. The delegates must
belong 20 the Holy Mother by profess
sion and baptism. Rev. DIR. Gum
mings will not, consequently, have an
opportunity of an ordal discussion
with the assembled prelates.
LONDON, September p. = The
Standard thinks the loss Of Cuba and
perhaps Porto Rico, would be the GER
tain result of a war with the United
States. Here the mischief for Spain
would end, after some months Of COM
bat, for she must agree to peace. But
this mischief would bring with 1t no
corresponding good TO- the United
States. War would cause a serious
interruption Of her commerce, and re-
suit in the wholesale destruction of her
shipping. IL is not probable that the
American Government will interfere
any farther in Cuban affairs.
The DAILY Telegraph intimates that
the declaration of Father Hyacinthe
is merely one of the many manifesto
tons revealing the commotion In the
Roman Catholic Church, which prom
ises to make the Ecumenical Council
the occasion of anything but spiritual
peace. ...

Pierrao arrived at Tarragona, Tues

ernor was killed. The Government

persed, and the Volunteers of Liberty

for the arrest of Pierrao.
