THE MOYEMENT IN CUBA.
Tae situation Described by an Impair

nexation TO the United States the only
Salvation for Cuba.

The following We extract from letter writ
ten by Q European consular officer to friend:
MAazGHI11o, April 30.-I am sorry to say
that am not able to send you any good news
from here. Things have, since you left u.s.
gone nom bad to worse, and fear that the
end is still very distant. The insurgents have
retired from this vicinity at least IN such lars
numbers az you used to see them during your
stay here; it is said that they have partly gone
to Puerto Principe, and partly to the moun.
tains, bat as there still remain small parties OF
them round about here, the country is as in
secure as ever, and nobody can go outside the
limits Of the town. The troops hom here and
Bayamo make now and sgain excursions in the
country, but not in smaller columns than three
hundred to five hundred men, and soneti mes
more. The government has only garrlsoDed
this town, Bayamo aud Jiguani; all the rest of
the country is open to the insurgents, who, as
soon as the troops come near to them, run
away with the women and children, 30 that
the troops only tire themselves marching after
the insurgents; with 90 other result but finding
one or other stray wretch, who is Immediately
shot,
The insurgents burn good deal, and what
they leave is burnt by the troops. The troops
burnt La Lemajagua, then Buenavista; then
the insurgents burnt Iranqualllidad and the
cane fields Of Sta. GertrudIs; then the troops
burnt the houses and works Of this estate, Los
Letreros, FL Rosario. &C. be5lue5 the ABOVE
mentioned, the insurgents have burnt Base,
Guisa, Bayraucsa apd Yars; the troops have
burnt Elbaooa, Savanna La Mar, Cauto, &C.;
and between the two, they have burnt all the
email estates and houses in the country, 30
that now everything is in ruins. Whatever
has escaped the flames has been owing entirely
to miracle, as has happened to San Franco
and La Esperanza- where only some Of the
cane fields and small outhouses have been
burnt, but the engine houses, curing houses
and barracoons are still intact.
or course the Spanards feel confident that
they will gain, and soon, but am not Of this
opinion, and believe that If they do gain, it
will last good while still and II the Ievolu-
ton should continue spreading towards the
west, I am sure they will have to abandon the
leland, and that before many months.
The only salvation for the island Of Cuba is
annexation to the United States /; and If such
does not speedily take place, the island will go
to the dogs, whichever party of the two here
contendng should gain the victory.

The Policy Of THE President-He Deter
mines to Manage the Natter Himself.

A Washington telegram Of the 2sth, to the
New York Evening Post, says:
The rumors current here in regard to ON
relations with England-tothe effect that Pres.
ident Grant is engaged In hamtnga m ore en-
ergetic foreign pohcy-are considered by the
best informed persons as merely sensational.
1t is true that General Butler advises wal
policy, and that MI. Sumner is in favor Of re-
opening negotiations with England, but Presi-
dent Grant, Notwithstanding all the obstacles
which are thrown in his way by intriguing Eol-
iticians, as well as by threats Of senatorial In
reference and dictation, has taken the manage
ment of tbs difficult question into bis own
hands. In doing 80 he feels that he is carry
ing out the will Of the people, and that his
course will be approved by them.
1t is ascertained from the most trustworthy
sources that the President considers that Eng
land established o precedent during the late
war which cannot be regardN otherwise than
exceedingly favorable to the United States. 1t
her steps 80 long as she considers herself in
the right, and with nothing to fear from the
United States in case she should 60 to war
with any other powef
The President believes that thess are mat
ters which concern England rather than the
United States, but that on The other hand, II
England sees that che was wrong, and that the
HamS u6utrbuGt pILuClPASp BIZ dppllcQ W tue
United States would prove very disastrous if
applied to herself in some future emergency,
then it is for her to open again the so-called
Alabama matter and make propositions for
new negotiations. *
In this condition the question stands for the
present, and the President sees no necessity
whatever just now for pursuing more ener-
getic foreign policy in reference to England.
In connection with this subject it has be-
come known that several cable dispatches we're
recently sent to leading officials IN England by
Englishmen here, and tho answers thereto say
that the bitter feelings which at first existed
after the receipt Of MIR. Summers speech is be-
ginning to disappear, and it IL anticipated here
In officials circles that the violent excitement
which has existed in Engicad will soon sub

here to the reception given Minister Wash
burne by the French Emperor. For some
months previous TO the departure Of Mr.. Ber-
themy, the French Minister, tom the United
States, the relations between France and this
country we're becoming very friendly, and it
was understood then that The appointment Of
Minister Washburne would be. very we'll re-
ceived by Napoleon, who would regard the
sending OF q personal friend OF the Presidents
to his oourt as an act oil good will.
It appears from the report OF MIR. Wash
burne's official reception THAT our relations
with that power are very satisfact ory. These
manifestations OF good will between the two
demonstrate the fact that England
will stand perfectly alone In her controversy
with this country.

A BIG SWINDLE.

Under the above caption we find the fol
lowing in the New York Euening Mail :;
Smokers of the old fashioned "cut and
dried tobacco are beginning to find that
the new system of putting all tobacco in
packages so as to nave " met all the re-
quirements imposed by law &" lacks the
simple requirement Of being fit to use
The plan gives large dealers an opportunity
to impose on retailers and their customers,
by putting up the filthiest compounds that
can be called tobacco, which is dampened
to such degree as to make it weigh well
that it becomes musty and makes even the
vetern smoker turn from it with loathing
The law was enacted because of the large
revenue expected to be derived from it,
but the manufacturers of the cheaper
brands are making use of it as cloak 10
one Of the biggest swindles of the age
Heretofore, a purchaser could have the
privilege of examining the article before
purchasing, bnt now he must take the risk
of sealed package, that previous expert.
ence teaches him is most probably a law
protected humbug. This buying a pig
in poke " may be all very well for the
revenue, but it is death to the buyers. The
law has barely gone into effect yet, but
fortunes have already been made from this
national swindle. We have seen several
specimens OF the article, purchased at
different places, and in each and every case
the tobacco was such as no dealer would
think Of weighing out for customer, or
would even allow it to be in his store in
bulk.
