LONDON, September 1IHThe Telegraph has
an editorial to-day on the relations existing be-
tween Spain aud the United st ates. whereini il
says: "The recognition Of ths Cubans would
place Washington In the. wrong on the Alabama
question. With what consistency can rights

President Grant, We preterto take the ques-
ton on tho broad grounds OF common interests.
War between Spain and America would be
material injury that would be equally appor-
toned. The shipping Of the litter would be
prey to toprivateers, and her commerce, with its
profts, would pass to neutrals. The reduction
of the national debt would be arrested, inter-
nal reorganization checked, and public dis
content would revive with the growing bur-
dens. Spain would lose Cuba, but would con-
tlnue Spain with her obstinate tenaclty OF re-
slstance. hersrrat undsveloped resources, her
power to attack American trade, and her COM

The Examiner, on the subject Of Spain and
Cuba, has the following: "By the history of

Spanish Cortes. E1pediency recommends it,
but for Cuba it is not too late. II not sold or

some form, be mortgaged to the Americans.

eventually become theira. It is better for
Cuba that this should be so, and it is better,

The Times has an editorial on Sickles' note to
the Spanish Government on the Cuban ques-
ton. wherein, it says "It was generally be-
loved President Grant would not interfere or
allow interference on the Cuban question until
Congress could vote upon It. Is he less reso-
lutte than formerly. or has pressure forced him
to sanetion demands upon Spain for the uban-
donment of Cuba No doubt the alternative
offered Spain is her abandonment Of the ia
land, or American recognition Of the insur-
gents. The probabilities are that we are on
the eve of serious events. The struggle will
be hopeless 60 far as Spain is concerned, but
the government cannot resist the impulses OF
the people. The name Of Spanish pride is
fast kindling, and tho government in striving

tranquil provinces OF Spain come offers of men
and arms, in order that regular troops may
