The Cuban Commi ssion to Buy the Island
from Spain-Diplomatic Movements to
that

that End.
HAVANA, July 23-In a previous letter
who had gone over TO Spain with a view OF
sounding the Regent and his administration
for some arrangement that might end the con.
test now going on in the Island. Little i'm
portance was attached TO their movements at
the time, but recent developments show that Il
has attained some part Of It's object. What is re.
lated was derived from trustworthy sources
and is OF an exceedingly important character
quietly, and, without offending Spanish pune
lllio, arranged for conference with certain
leading supporters Of the Government, and
nave been since, ON convenient occasions,
gradually unfolding their plans. The scheme
most at heart with the commission is the pur-
chase Of Cuba by the Cubans from the Spanis IN
Government. The able representative OF Oes.
peoes to the Government at Washington has
been fully advised OF these plans, and Mr.. Fish
was In proper time duly notified o. the card
hat was beng played at the Court of Madrid.
fou Will remember that not long since, when
approached by Mr.. Ruiz on the subject of
Cuba, he expressed his sympathy with the in.
surgents, and said that the United States Gov.
eminent was acting such part as would best
oeneht all parties. MIR. Fish's policy seems to
nave been TO see that the neutrality laws
should be faithfully executed; to give the
Spaniards q fair chance to DO that which was
deemed impossible-that is to say, to re.
cover the Island-and then the Admins.
tration at Washington could interpose its
good omces at the right moment, with ali
the force OF its consistency on the subject
of the RECOGNITION Of belligerent rights.
General Sickles was informed as 70 these ti.
plomauc steps on the part Of the Cuban Com :
mission, and 1t is supposed that he is TO work
IN accord with the members of that BODY noW
IN Madrid, and in a manner at once prudent
and persevering. The movement of the COM
mission is being somewhat regarded by the
Spanish Ministry, especially since the return

THE COMING INTERNATIONAL BOAT

LONDON, August 3.-The coming interna

Will be all that either crew could desire, that
the water will be smooth, the way clear OF

winning point
The Harvard crew were out again last eve-
