lr The Washington Chronicle h

@ The Washington Chronicle has
been authorized to say in reply to vari-
Gus reports telegraphed from Washing
ton about the 'Reeonstruetion of Vir-
ginia,'' that the "Senate Judiciary
Committee have heard the Richmond
Conference Committee patiently and
courteously, but beyond that nothing has
been done !" and no agreement made
And it adds as follows: --"A distinguish
ed Radical Senator desires us to say that
such thing as universal amnesty in ex-
change for universal suffrage is an i'm
possibility az present." 1t will thus be
seen that many OF the reports circulated
as to movements in Washington, are
without foundation, and are put forth
one day to be contradicted the next.

THE TRANSFER OF CUBA.

A Washington dispatch says: Intel
ligence has reached this city from an
authentic source that the Spanish gov
eminent is favorably inclined to trans
fer the island of Cuba to the United
States, and that the terms suggested
are such as would probably meet with
favor by our government and such of
our people as approved of the purchase
or annexation of Cuba. The condi-
tions upon which Spain would part
with the island have not TRANSFERRED.
The insurgents.it is learned, however,
are confident of shortly gaining entire
possession OF Cuba, and claim to have
now secure possession of more than one
half of the island. They assert that
their strength and status is such as to
warrant their recognition by this gov
eminent as beligerents.
