the Cuban question :-"Most Of the Spaniards
are sanguine OF preserving Cuba, and
much disappointment is manifested at
the small success in repressing the rebell-

and not gam to Spain Is absurd
Spain has been benefited largely by the pro.
ductiveness and commerce of Cuba. The cor.
respondent thinks the immmediate annexation
OF Cuba to the United States is not desired by
the American Government, but England or

the scheme.
