LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Madrid corr
respondent Of the London Times writes
as follows:
Hitherto the Spanish government
and press have universally adopted the
plan Of concealing all uniavOrable Cuban
news, but the EpOcha has now broken
| silence and startled SpaniardS
| by making statement Of
the actual facts by vehemently urging
the dispatch of troops and the union of
men of all parties so the government may
be left free to save Cuba. The news of
Gen. Sickles' proposal to recognize the
Cubans as belligerents, has caused as much
excitement as if he threatened 10 take the
part of the Cubans.
1t had the effect TO make funds fall to the
lowest point they have touched for sixteen
yeara
The dispatch OF Gen. Sicklesshas not yet
been published. Whatever its moral effect
may be, the rsmOnstrance Of the United
States has unquestionably terrified the
Spaniards amazingly.

IL good 10 be rid OF the island on any terms,
and cause them TO consider before wasting
men and money which they can net spare
in the furtherance of an enterprise which
will never yield hundredth part Of what
it has already irreparably lost.
