What Does He Mean q?

It is reported that General Grant, at dinner
on Sunday, said:
.''I4et reconstruction alone-these minor per
plexities will soon be swallowed up by greater
events growing out of the recognition of Cuba
and contest over the Alabama claims
Does this foreshadow war with great Britain
and Spain? We know that the House on
Tuesday, passed resolution sympathizing with
Rebellion, " and authorizing the President to
recognize Cuba whenever, in his opinion, re-
publican form Of government shall have been
established. The telegraph says that this re-
solution passed unanimously. There is a speck
of war here. Then the Alabama spoliation
treaty has been negatived, and our relations
with Great Britain are consequently not as
pleasant as they might be- Another significant
step in the House on Tuesday, was the passage
of the Senate bill for the reorganization Of the
