English View Of Cuban Affairs.

English View Of Cuban Affairs.
LONDON, April 22.-Ths papers to-
day comment very freely on the present
state of affairs in Cuba. The Telegraph,
ministerial organ of moderate tone,
says that in regard to the independence Of
Cuba England. is unbiased, but at the
same time admits that England's interest
can be best subseryed by Spain retaining
her authority in the Island. The article
does not say however, that in any case it
should be the business Of England to in
terfere and prevent Cuban independence,
but it maintains that the good offices of
England might prove useful to avert
quarrel between Spain and America. 1t
designates the seizure of the ship Mary
Lowell as mad act duplicating England
-Spain's best friend. The article then
goes on to argue that the Cubans can
never willingly attach themselves to the
United States.
The London Owl of this evening also
has its say on Cuban matters II argues
that President Grant has been made de-
sirous of getting Cuba, and thinks that
England and France would declare war
if America attempts to wrest the island
from Spain. Grant, says the Owl, longs
for foreign war, knowing, as he does,
that the feeling at present pervading
American official circles is one Of intense
hatred to England, and, though in less
degree, to France.
1t is stated that in a day or two a
yacht will be dispatched from here to
Cuba on mission from the government,
to ascertain the exact position of affairs
there. The belief is that heavy storm
is brewing which may yet occasion much
trouble.
