CUBA.
From the n. Y. sun.

from tRS ". l. . sun.
The news from Cuba continues favorable to
the hopes of the patriots. The revolutionary
commanders wisely persist in the strategy
they have adopted from the first. They wear
out their enemy by continuous skirmishes
and alarms, but never risk general engage
ment. The result justities the plan of cam
paign. The Spanish forces are melting away
like snow. What with the severity of the
tropical climate, the constant marching, the
fruitless but most exhausting fighting the
yellow fever and the cholera, their ranks are
daily decimated, and there are regiments
which exist no longer except in name.
In this condition of things. it is manifest
that the Spaniards will soon have to abandon
the whole of the island, except the fortified
cities on the coast from sheer lack of troops
to defend it. In this emergency, we learn
from the JOl17ldJ Of Commerce. a curious plan
has been devised to procure reinforcements
and prolong the war. The exhaustion of the
colonial treasury is complete For several
months it has been supplied exclusively by
the proceeds of conhscation, and that resource
is now pretty nearly at an end. The trea-
sury of Spain is equally empty, and all effort
to send more troops TO Cuba at the expense
of the mother country would be in vain. But
it is proposed that private capitalists, who
have large interests in the preservation of
Spanish power in the island, shall among
themselves raise the means Of bringing over
thirty thousand fresh soldiers. 1t is admitted
that any smaller number would be useless;
and it is calculated that with that amount of
additional strength, General de Rodas, or
whoever may be in command, will be able to
put down the revolution.
more impracticable plan was never CON
ceived To bring thirty thousand soldiers
from Spain to Cuba would cost not less than
ten millions of dollars, and to provide for
them for three months after their arrival
would cost not less than five millions more.
We put these figures at the lowest possible
amount; much lower indeed than it is proba-
BILE the work could be done for. Now are the

salary he is going about from Old Point Com
fort to Long Branch, and from Long Branch
to Washington only to get change of clothes
and run off to the oil wells and coal mines OF
Pennsylvania, and then to New York, and
then to Newport, and then up TO the White
Mountains, intending to come round by way
of Saratoga to New York for a fresh start
again on some other wild goose chase; that
surf-bathing, fast horses, Havana cigars, fine
women, hunkeys and fancy balls, clam
bakes, chowder parties, trout breakfasts, mu-
tual admiration societies, and all the froth
and folly, snobbery and tuft-huuting of our
summer resorts seem to be his highest ambi-
ton, and that we never have had such tuft-
hunting and shilly-shally President hereto
fore. An absurd and utterly preposterous
outcry this, from beginning TO end General
Grant has nothing of special moment to re-
quire his presence at Washington Just now.
He is, therefore, doing exactly right in taking
these pleasure excursions among the people;
for in these travels he sees much and learns
much that will be valuable to him in the ad-
minstration of the Government. The people
everywhere are glad to see him, and in his
quiet way he is everywhere glad to learn the
wishes and wants Of the people. While be-
lieving too that business more than pleasure
is the object of General Grant in these sum-
mer expeditions, we expect that the good re-
suits will soon be made manifest after his re-
turn for a regular set-to upon the business Of
his administration.

Spanish owners of plantations in Cuba ready
or able to put up fifteen millions, or even ten
millions of dollars, for the sake of keeping
up the Spanish control Of the island The
idea is absurd They are not ready to do it;
and if they were, they have not the means.
Everything concurs TO assure us that Cuba
will soon belong to its sons, as legitimate
conquest They are fighting under every dis
advantage, without shoes, clothes, cannon.
or ammunition. But they will win. The
people who begin their revolt by proclaiming
the freedom of half a million of their own
slaves-an act of such grandeur that it has no
precedent in history-are not likely to fail on
account of any minor difficulties that they
may have to contend with.

THE LITTLE GAME AT GETTYSBURG.

IIglt me W , hfTns
The recent gathering together of ci-deoant
military men at Gettysburg to indicate the
points of interest on the battlefield was, it
has become evident the shrewd dodge of
bucolic book-maker, whereby an incubating
volume of his is to be widely advertised, and
its forthcoming contents made known at the
expense and under the guise of a reunion
of the Federal and Confederate generals.
From the false pretenses, the transparent
kilograms, and the lame and impotent con-
cluson attending this affair, it may be judi
ciOusly characterized as n more atrOcious Job
than the marriage of Tom Thumb the Bos-
ton Jubilee, and the Stowe-Byron paper itself
These latter had their compensations. This
Gettysburg little game, in inception, progress,
and sequence has been announced and re
ported solely in the interest of a so-called
military history not yet in press. The
assumption of patriotic and pacific motives
inspiring the movement is as cool as the re-
suit of it is ridiculous. Reunion there
was none. A few Federal fighters we're Chi
caned into attendance; a swarm of civilians
and cloud of the Grand Army of the Re
public darkened the air. Eminent Confede-
rate generals were colrsely and falsely an
nounced as sure to come. None came: but
from the gallant Lees did come decorous de-
caimer of the book-advertising and sectional
phases of the fraud. General Lee had been
impudently telegraphed as intending to be
present so as to relieve the public mind of
the idea that he was dissatisfied with the sys-
tenn of reconstruction and that he did not
accept the situation" This insult was
as much menace as a bid But it missed
it's mark. The General, without noticing
this gatuitous slur, advocates ''the examples
of those nations who endeavored to obliterate
the marks Of civil strife, and to commit to
oblivion the feelings it engendered" After
which excellent and truly patriotic senti-
ments, fortified by the accompanying letter
of General Fitzhugh Lee, his son, how pue-
rile and contemplate appears the inexplicable
dumb show through which those lured TO the
place were led by the book-maller, who has
literally ''bossed the business" 1t is time
that humbugs were no longer foisted upon
the public in this manner. When advertisino
is to be done outside of Boston, let it be done
in a legitimate way. This hauling of non.
combatants over battle-felds, and the anteee-
dent and subsequent accounts of the little
| game spuriously perpetrated in the name of
news, are discreditable, and merit the failure
which stamped the proceedings in preparation
and in outcome.

PANAMA. December l1, lS6S.-The most notable event ofthe past week on ihis Istlmus has been the arrival of Hon. Caleb Cushing, en route to Bogo- ia. the capital of the Republic, on a mission from the State Department Ut Washington. The advent oe an ordi- nary man on 6 special mission to this Rcpubiic from the Government at WaslIingion. would have attracted no particular attention. But the general sentiment. both among natives and for eigncrs, is, that q man oi such iilgh character and of such distinguished ability as General Cushing conld be sent on,y on most important errand. 50 the people have been engaged in guessing what that can be. lt is not to be supposed that he is gone simply on the Darien Canal scheme; though some argue the gift of the right to cut a canal across the Isthnus is equiva- lent to the ccssion to the United States of the whole State Of Panama. The canal might not be over 200 feet wide, but it must be fed from many steams on both sides oft. and from large lakes or bodies of water located at a great distance from either shore. We will Stts tUtti. ttiN itttt's rvs s'S 'S''' thirty nlles on eacl side Of the canal must be con,plcted 'nnder the control o; the United States; for if would not do at all to leave the canal and it's dependencies in the hands of the na- tive Government. So, with the i'a- nana railroad on the one sitic and the Darien Canal on the other in the hands of the United States. lhe whnlr State would be virtually out of the hands of tho Republic, and il might as well be so legally.
 General Cushing, oil his arrival at Aspinwall, finding no steamer advcr- tised ta sail fer Carthaeeiia before the 18th inst., the United States Consu! at that port requested the commander of the United States 9unbcat Iantie to furnish him and his Secretary with tran sportatiou. and that vessel left with the party on board on the llth inst. The trip to Bogoia will be made from Aspinwali in about seventeen days, il the siagdaiena river is found unobstfected by revolu,ionists.
