WASHINGTON, August s, 1862
Failuro Of Negotiations for the settlement
Of the Cuban Difficulty.
The State Department up till to-day mad not re-
ceived the protest against the proposition to
purchase Cuba, said to have been ~foYwarded
by the Cuban Junta from New York. 1t Is
already understood In oniciai circles that the
Spanish government Is unfriendy to the move
ment, and this Of itself would probably put an
end TO IL; but the fact that Spain refuses to SELL and
that the Cubans are unwilling to buy, seems to put
this mode of settling the Cuban difficulty entirely
OutlOf the question. Mff

man James Holmes twhite) OF the Washington Coun-
Gill; are out In another long .wnded letter In regard
to the shabby treatment Of the former by Mayor
Bowen and other members OF the washington

In the second paragraph OF their statement they

In another part ne uses che following language IN

What charge them with at Gettysburg is. that
not one Of them said. nor will they pretend to state
that they said to the proprietor OF The hotel. rhs

ing the statement that asked the Mayor for six dol
lars, say that Is assertion unbecomng to his
honor H. indeed, such as assertion Is unbecOming 10
his dignity. Will further state that there was no
set time for breakfast unless 1t was the time when
Mr.. Holmes and myself were absent at the spring:
and If SO the time was set during that absence that
we might not know It, AS to the Mayor sauting me

head dropped as though he had been dealt heavy
blow on the back Of She neck with an old fashioned
intention, judging from his manner and the
steps he was making, to leave me standing in
the passage. The SIX men who subscribe to the
reply my former letter very particular in de-
scrblng the scene between the Mayor and myself IN

the same occurrence 'most malignant untruth.''

Hatton winds up his attack thus:--
The magnanimOus gentlemen ask 'sr was cruelty
treated why did not complain to them Y' | an.
swer by saying that there swas a man at one time
who lived in this world and who was very wicked,
and after his death tits said he went TO torment and.
finding things did not suit him precisely, he asked
One where Is the boss ~ and he was pointed the
devil, but declined applying to him for redress say
ing, '"tis no use l have tried that fellow several
see HIM. And the gentlemen ask why 1t was not
indicated before left Gettysburg that had been in
suited by asking themi Who had to complain to,
when all except Mr.. Holmes persuaded me to stay
according to the arrangements they had made with
the proprietor OF the hotel VIZ, have nice room,

but thank God the time not far distant when these
men will be called upon TO give to their constituents
