TIE LONDON PRESS ON The CUBAN QUESTION
PROMPT ACTION OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
SUCCESS CT THE SPANISH LOAN.
LONDON, April 22.-The London Post of to-
day-a conservative Wing organ-has an ella
borate editorial article on the Cuban question,
in which it mentions that it is asserted tina!
President Grant has longing eye upon Cuba,
and would not be unwilling to distract the at
tention Of the people Of the United States
from watching the course Of internal affairs
by war with some foreign power A conflict
with Spain cannot leave any doubt respect
ing the issue, unless England and France
should interfere. A blow dealt ut Cuba
would be tantamount to blow dealt towards
the whole of the West Indies, and the acquisi-
ton of Cuba might be followed by that of ia
maica and Martinique. The same paper quotes
the recent acquisitions Of territory by the United
States as proof that it wants to acquire by
piecemeal all the possessions held tJ European
powers in that latitude, and would naturally
commence by Cuba, because it belongs to the
weakest of the powers having settlements in the
West Indies. France and England will doubt

Cuba will be tolerated, or aid Spain in retaining
her colony.
The French press has agitated the question

and Wednesday, which resulted in special

dispatches referring to the present complica-

SPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE NEWS
COLUMBIA, April A.-In the Supreme Court
to-day, General MCGOWAN closed the case for
mis- side, in the great negro bond case. He was
answered by Mr. Thompson on several points,
which concluded the most interesting and i'm
portant case of this term. General MCGOWAN
spoke some twelve hours against the VAL .lty
OF the bonds. Both sides Of the question have
beer most thoroughly discussed, and it is pro-
bah!e that all similar cases will be continued
by agreement, 30 as to let the decision in this
case settle the principle involved.
Owing to its great importance, the decision
in this case will not be rendered until the va
cancy caused by Hose's resignation is filled.
After some further unimportant business,
the court adjourned until Monday, when the
Second Circuit Will be peremptoriy called.
