CUBAN AFFAIRS.

The Fitting Out OF nII American Fleet.
The Government received dispatches
on Saturday from the Consul General at
Cuba. He reports the condition of af-
fairs unchanged. 1t requires consider
able vigilance to protect American citi-
zens and their property from tho inter-
ference of the Spanish authorities. Itis
by no means certain how this trouble
between the Spanish authorities and
the insurgents will terminate. The
former seem confident, backed up as
they are with troops and supplies from
Spain, while the latter are receiving
large accessions from the natives and
outside parties, landing at points where
they readily communicate with the
insurgents. 1t is deemed advisable
by our Government, and by the Com
mander of the West India squadron, ,
to keep large force in the Cuban
waters to protect American citizens
and property from molestatiOn. Ac.
cordingly, orders were dispatched Sat
urday, by the Navy Department to
have the war steamers Seminole, Gale
ma and Juniata fitted out Immediately
for duty in the Cuban waters. The
Seminole IS a thlrd-rate vessel, carrying
eight guns, and is now repairing at
Boston. The Galena is also a third-rate
vessel with ten guns, and is now lying
up in ordinary at the Portsmouth Ma
vy-yard. The Juniata is second-rate
screw steamer, carrying six guns, and
is now stationed at the Navy-yard in
Philadelphia. 1t was formerly the in

THE BUFFALoEs' LUxURY.-The buf-
faloes found in the telegraph poles OF
the overland line a new source of de-
light on the treeless prairie-the novel
ty of having something to scratch
against. But it was expensive scatch-
ing for the telegraph company; and
there, indeed. was the rub, for the BIZ
sons shook down miles of wire daily. A
brig BIT idea struck somebody to send to
St. Louis and Chicago for all the brad
avis that could be purchased, and these
were driven into the poles with view
to wound the animals and check their
rubbing propensity. Never was great
er mistake. The buffaloes were delight
ed. For the first time they came to the
scratch sure of a sensation in their thick
hides that thrilled them from horn to
tail: They would go fifteen miles to
find brad-awl. They fought huge bat
ties around the poles containing them,
mountainous heap of rump and hump
of the fallen, and scratch himself into
bliss until the brad-awl broke or pole
came down. There has been no de-
mand for brad.awls from the Kansas
region since the first invoice.
