"DIxoN, the Washington correspondent
OF the Boston Advertiser, writes that the
PRESIDENT and his Cabinet as individuals
are, generally speaking, in sympathy with
the ins,urrcctionary movement in Cuba
This, ior two reasons: the overthrow OF
Spanish authority in the island would
wea zen the power OF foreign nations ON this
CO. Itinent and the success of the revolution
would bring into the foreground the libera
and progressive element of the Cuban popu-
lation. But none of them, oflicialy, desires
TO take any steps that will involve us in
complications with Spain. The latter coun-
try must be treated, as we would desire other
nations to treat us, and we have yet no such
information of the Cuban insurection, as
warrants us in recognizing its existence.
The President and his advisers are all cool,
practical men. They do not intend to take
any but prudent and sensible course, such
as will discharge our duty as nation, and
give no just ground for oiIence to anybody.

VINO DREAMS. PAYS.

" 49, n a ~
In common with all lovers of peace and
economy, we sh,ink from the idea of war
with England and still adhere to the opinion
already expressed, that the cable dis
patches which SO positively announce the
formation of an alliance of England, France
and Spain against us. are somewhat prema-
turc if not incorrect. Yet il is well that we
Americans do not repeat the mistake Of
those whom Patrick Henry so powerfully
rebuked for crying, Peace peace when
there is no peace"
The feeling excited in England by Mr..
Summers speech, the tone OF the press of
that country, and the fact that men of all
shades of opinion there, those who were
always our enemies as well as those who
have been our friends, are united in
now that it is for the first time clearly pre-
sested to them, all point to the possibility,
if not the imminence, of war.
Ii, then, come II must, there was never a
time in our history when, except in a tinan-
clal point of view, we were better prepared
for it. We have had abundant exercise of
late IN the art of fighting and understand
the business. We have as brave soldery
as the world ever saw, now engaged in
peaceful industry, half of whom would rush
to arms at the first signal that they were
wanted, while, such is the immensty of our
population, that probably million of fresh
men, too young to participate in tho late
struggle, have come OF age sinct itclosed, The
whole nation would be united in this con-
test and its effective force thus be more than
doubled.
Thanks to the beneficent operation Of q
protective tariff, we arc sufficient unto our
selves, and can produce everything needed
either for war or peace. We could live ant
prosper were we girt by wall Of fire. VIZ
have no commerce to injure, for the heat
and front of our present grievance is, tha
English pirates swept our commerce from
the seas. Added to all these the scasons
have been propitous, and never before die
onr fields promise to gladden. the hearts o
our people by so abundant a harvest.
And yet, again, the greatest Military GO
MUS of the age is President and Commando

other who can dispute his prestage is Gener

Among them are many members of the Leg

Waynesbyro, Bucks county, on Sunday last,
to murder the Rev. j. s. PIlman,a Presiding
Elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He had preached there, and had induced a
number of colored people to renounce al
legiance to the Methodist Church South, and
join another church. A gang of Ku Klux
planned his death, and pickcted the road
from his hotel to the depot, but colored
man guided him across the fields and vol
untary guard of colored men accompanied
him to the depot. Upon his arrival there,
pistols were pointed at his head, and death
seemed certain, but the firm stand taken by
the colored people saved his life. The only
charge against him was that he was "Radi-

The Coal Suspensiou.

The Pottsville journal, of Saturday, on
the subject of the suspension of labor by the
coal operators, says:-
As far as we could learn yesterday, all the
collieries were suspended in Lehigh and
Schuylkill counties, and as far as P,tston in
the Wyoming Region. The latest accounts
state that 1t was understood that the men
would also cease work above Pitston to-
day. 1t is the intention to suspend until the
3lst inst, or LIST of June. This period, il is
believed, will remove the surplus coal in the
market. Another suspension for week OF
so may become necessary some time in
August, which is about the dullest portion
of the Summer srason. After this year we
do not believe any suspension will be re-
| quired, as the demand will be up to the
capacity Of the collieries now worked.

that it had always heen his ambition to weigh
one hundred and fifty pounds, and that he
now exceeded that figure.

Steel rails, it is reported, are TO be laid on
the entire length of the railroad from Paris
to Marseilles. The change from iron to steel
will require $4,000 tons of steel. From
experiments made by the Company, it has
been calculated that ia the vicinity of the
stations iron rails will not last over four
years. The steel rails, ii is believed. will
last thirty or forty years. The bridges are
also to be constructed of steel as soon as
iron ores suited to the manufacture can be
obtained in sufficient quantity.
