TIE NEW REYOLUrION ~ cUBA


The failure, if not the actual collapse, of
Spanish government in Cuba, 10 longer adj
mits of question. Havana and CicnfuegOs
have just seen the beginning of the end-the
general disinteSration aud crumbling away of
whatever morality remained to the Spaniards
in the island, with the dissipation of those
bombastic assurances which have been de-
luding them and the world in the
name of what they are wont to call the terri
torial integrity. Spanish honor, too, and what
the late Captan-General was pleased TO call
the pride of CASTLE, have undergone fatal
shaming and manning in its insular member.
Both the integrity Of territory and State, and
we might add society and the army, are NOR
tally assailed in the latest news. lt looks as
if no sound part remained in the Spanish pos
session, and as if the physical collapse and
near death of the dismissed and almost fugitive
Captain General were Simultaneous with the
breaking down Of the power he served
The startling news telegraphed us from
Havana has been foreshowed in our comments
and correspondence weeks back. 1t was known
that bribery and corruption were frequent
among Spanish Generals that one of them
had been accused of selling safe conducts to
the enemy, and that threats against their officers
had been freely uttered by the Spanish volun-
teers. Our special adYices brought to light the
other day the strange charge that the first help
which the Cubans received in munitions of
war came from the avarice of their foes.
Rumor has been busy with the names of
Gems. Pelaez and LetOna in connection with
allegations of treason and fraud, and that Of
the Governor of Havana, Senor Don Lopez
Roberts, has not escaped the infamy of the
very curious suspicious which are rife in Ha-
vana. The story is as old as Cuba that Spain
robs it both by her officials and her employees,
and mainly by the fraudulent concert OF both.
The island has been an asylum of plunder for
these incurables, and O school for all the arts
of oppression and extravaganza. 1t was as
natural for Spanish officials to steal as for
Spanish soldiers to butcher
We are not altogether surprised, therefore,
at the new revolt, and, practically, the counter
revolution in Cuba. The outbreak of the
volunteers is in perfect fulRllnaet a he
threats which they have made since the begin
ming of the year. 1t is in logical following Ot
the unrebuked massacres of the Prado and
Villanueva, and of the wharf of Havana.
1t is thorough deduction from Gen.
Dulce's surrender of the patriot Romero W

Leon and the riot and butchery evoked
by his execution, and from similar per-
formances of savage boodshed through
ont the island. Let it be said, to the remnant
of credit which belongs to the late feebly astute
Captain General, that he did not at once or did
not always give over every captive Cuban TO
the unclaimed hyenas sent out to govern the
isle, and kindle into fame from one end OF 1t
to the other its most blasting passions 1t is
partly TO his credit that the armed mob OF
Havana have hustled him out of power and
sent him off to Spain. OF his Deputies In Clen-
fuegos and Matanzas, who have also been COM
PEELED to dismount from their positions, we
cannot speak with the same certainty.
They, as well as Gen. Pelaez, may
have been accused of accepting bribes; but If
they were but guilty of the rare crime of mercy
no doubt they well earned their disgrace In
the eyes of the volunteers. Bad and ungOvern-
able as this sOldery is, we are bound to say
that they have made their word good TO the
letter. They have murdered according to prom
ise. and they have Overthrown their wretched
government, as they declared they would. We
give them credit for an atrociOus patriotism,
a lurid ardor, ard a stupid earnestness to save
SPAIN The work they have just done portends
the coming of Gen. CabalerO de ROdas The ad-
vent of this ruthless commander will, we have
reason to apprehend, be the signal for the most
violent and merciless measures of repression.
But if the flood of victory turns wholly for the
Cubans, we may have to beg mercy for the
drowning men who have so often threatened
the island with deluge of blood.
New-York tribune., 1869-06-04

If our sensitive British friends should dis
cern any fresh cause of irritation or ofense in
the speech of Gen. Walbridge on Canadian
Reciprocity, herewith printed, We make haste
to assure them that no ofiense was intended.
The simple fact is that our merchant princes,
while Britons are nerving themselves for war,
are looking around for new worlds to conquer,
lin the way of Trade,) and have concluded that
they could turn an honest penny by enlarging
their dealings with our Northern neighbOrs.
That is the Whole case; and all that Gen.
Walbridge says of Canada's inevitable destiny
(Annexation, of course,) and our chivarOus in
disposition to hasten that event by coercion,
may be regarded and treated-if they choose
as poetry.
Speaking for ourselves only, we may here
observe that we regard fishing as capital sport
but very improbable vocation, and believe
our country would have been this day stronger
and richer if no Yankee fisher had sailed east
ward of the st. John since 1888. II we were
never again to drop line for cod or mackerel
eastward of the Penobscot, We believe our
people could not fail to employ their time to
better purpose. AS for the free navigation of
the st. Lawrence, we consider that magnif-
NCub uuluDubs NAuduh hibHO DObtCl COdA HCf
olon grain to take that route to Europe before
she sells us the privilege of sending ours
that way. Railroads are rapidly taking freight
away from Canals and even Rivers-we
may OF may not like it, but the fact is so.
And as to saving our Pine timber uncut and
buying that of Canada instead as a measure of
provldent foresight, we are tempted to say,
Bosh! The Canuck is a man and brother:
he will always be ready to sell us timber for
cash or barter; and he and his will seek shell
ter under our flag before we shall have cut
down nearly all our pines. Even were we to
run short of Pine, We could use some other
OF our native woods instead, just as we are
now making extensive use of Chestnut, which
we did not saw at all till within the last few
years. We have excellent timber in the Ale
ganles' and between them and the Atlantic,
adequate to the supply of our wants for the
next half-century.
Yet we shall some time have Reciprocity
with the Canadas; though we do not quite SEQ

products. ,Vhy not say right out that Canada

Justly demand of the people of the State the
rejection of that provision of the franchise

reflect upon that colOred men can now 30

even more satisfactory that they have so little

There was a round ocean of beer represented
in the Congress of Brewers at Newark yester-
day. They matted one set of resolutions and
brewed another. 1t was held that the beer
interest should be energetically prosecuted
before the Legislatures. We think it is.
Likewise it was said that legislators should
become better acquainted with the brewers.
They could not if they tried. Moreover, the
conviction was urged that the use of
beer promotes temperance, and that our
legislators ought to be assisted by the brewers.
BY all means, if beer conduces to sobrety, our
legislators ought to have it; and if brewers
can legisate to that end, they ought to sit in
high places
New-York tribune., 1869-06-04

The latest phase of British opinion respecting
the Alabama claims is as friendly as could be
desired. The Times, however in comment on
the recently published official dispatches affects
to believe that the United States are con-
demued by their own confessions therein, and
that no concession on the part of England can
meet the case. Divested of a great amount Of
official verbiage, this case on our part
appears to be-frst, that England gave
premature and indecent recognition TO our
enemies second, that the Alabama was
culpably permitted to escape. Both these posi-
tions have been we'll aired and will still stand
any breeze of dispute from across the water.
We rather hope that breeze will blow us good.
Meanwhile, we cannot expect that Great Britain
will make us other than sentimental amends
for the first wrong. What remains is to obtain
a reasonable acknowledgment Of the second.

A semi-oficial dispatch from Washington
gives the pleasing assurance, which we are not
at ali 10th to credit, that the stories OF Indian
fighting on the frontiers are largely exagger-
ated. 1t has quite often happened that the
people who profit by Indian wars have
been very ready to report the be-
ginnings of Indian wars. 1t has been
found that a very good way to create
hostilites was to inhame the passions of the
people with premature news of hostilitles; and
as many on the frontiers have shown them
selves quite capable of such work, we may
still have some reason to hope that present
reports are q part of the old game

The mysteries of monument building con.
tinue to be multiplied. In cemetery
near Philadelphia, last Saturday, an obelisk
dedicated to the memory of Washington
and Lafayette was set up, and the news
papers give us some curious particulars
of its structure. "The surface measurement of
pedestal" we are told, "is fraction less than
"77i square yards, and is intended to indicate the
an years and months of Lafayette's life"
Mark the exquisite propriety of "the fraction
"less" to shadow forth the concluding months
of the great mans life Then, "frOm the top
"of the pedestal to the apex of the monument
"is 81 feet 10 inches, corresponding with the
"years aud months of Washingtons life "a
foot for year and an inch for month The

"the number of the signers of the Declaration
"of independence The cost of the structure
was $4,000, and we are greatly surprised that
some sort of proportionate mensuration was
not hit upon TO commemorate that fact. More
over, how are the antiquaries of the twenty
fifth century to know that there is profound
and delicate meaning in all these feet and inches

We publish on another page list of the
sales of merchandise for the mouths of Janu-
AIRY. February, March, and April last, by the
merchants of the XXXIId Collection District
First, Second, and Fourth Wards of this city. }
The list embraces only the names of those who
sell TO the extent of 100000, and includes, of
course, only a comparatively small number of
the traders who pay taxes on their sales. The
Tax upon the sales of general merchandise is
e1 per $1,000, or one-tenth of one per cent
We think it will be admitted that the returns
show reasonably healthy state of trade.
