James F. Clark, negro, and brother
Of the recently elected Registrar of this
city, was to-day appointed to first-class
clerkship in the Internal Revenue office.
The President has determined upon
the appointment Of eight cadets at large
to West Point, which, with two hereto
fore named, completes the list of ten con-
stituting his quota. The Secretary of
War is preparing the commissions of the
new appointees. One from each Con-
gressional district will also be an
nounced in few days. The cadets,
however, will not enter the academy
until next summer.
The Cuban question has not yet been
the subject of cabinet consultation,
although occasionally it is the theme Of
conversation there, nor, according to the
present aspect, is it probable that any
official action will soon be taken with re-
gard to the affairs in that island.
The government has no information to
show that the opposing forces in Cuba
have ever met in the open field, but that
what little fighting has been done
amounts to nothing more than skirmish-
ing. The operations are. confined to
few local points, with no. marked practi-
cal results. The Cubans have not yet
succeeded in establishing themselves in
single spot, and therefore nc case is
presented which calls for recognition
OF belligerent rights, and no member Of
the Cabinent has expressed desire for,
or limited a. any action in :hs: direction.
II is no secret that the Spanish Minister
has been informed that, although the
government and people of the country
sympathizs with the Cubsns, the neutral
ity laws will be enforced; and, as proof
of the honesty of the government in
executing them, the Spanish Minister has
been placed in direct communication with
the United States Attorneys and Mar
shals, so that he can furnish them with
information, accompanied with proof
relative to secret military expe litions in
order that they may be promptly carried
out; and instructions were given month
ago to intercept the sailing of hostile
vessels. The recent arrests in New York
were made on information furnished to
the Federal officers by the Spanish Min
ister The cause Of the action was the
open Boosting Of the Cubans Of their sue
cess in landing men and arms on the
island. The Government has been selling
surplus arms to all parties without dis
tinctiop, asking no questions as to their
future use.
1t has been ascertained from official
sources that there is no disagreement be-
tween Sumner and Fish relative to the
instructions to Minister Motley, which
the former has seen, and besides, the So
cial relations of these gentlemen continue
friendly.
The Agricultural Department report
for May and June shows high average
condition of the wheat crop, and good
prospect for an abundant crop, if no cas-.
ualties occur before or after harvest. Rye,
barley and other small grains are in fine
condition. The largest increase is in
barley, and especially in the States west
