SPIRIT OF THE LONDON PRBss-THE CUBAN CUES
T1oN-THE STOWE SENSATION - THE COTTON
TRADE-THE LATE ROWING MAyCH--THE FRENCH
SITUATION. -a,;i e. 20,
LONDON, September 1O.4The Times to-day
has an article on the subject ofSickles' note to
the Spanish Government, IN which it says 1t is
hardly credible that America oontemplates the
recognition OF Cuba. While Spain has little to
lose, except the island, oNing to the confusing
prospect OF war, and its damaging effects on
her commerce and diaance, she admits she must
ultimately consent to abandon Cuba. zcr.
The. Telegraph has an article on. the same
sabjscs, Saying: American action with re-
.spect to Cuba is the same that England was 30
much blamed for. though the cases are not
precisely parallel. The Cubans are absolutely
without strength, without civil or military or
ganization, and without an established gov
ernment. II the Americans vindicate their ac-
ton by the plea that they cannot remain indif-
fereut to the struggles Of friendly people for
freedom and independence, then England in
1861 acted in manner the Americans now en-
phat;cally sanction. Looking at the contno-
versy in its broadeat-v view, we ahall scarcely be
displsased tcsse Americas take, atep- which
the world would regard as a.conspicuens ex-
culpatiou Of England from responsibility to
America" iU ~
The Daily News says !" The rumor is afoat
that the proposed purchase OF Cuba by the
United States has found Q powerful friend in
the Spanish administration. II is difficult to
perceive, il the rebellion is suppressed in
Cuba, how Q material change can be- effected
amid the defiant and subjugated population. If
the rumors have an5 foundation, these con-
alterations may possibly incline this powerful
leader to listen fsvorably TO the offer from the
United States. Though his advocacy may OBJ
tain great force with other membsss Of the
government aud with the psople. the interests
Of England and France in The West Indies are
scskeely inferior to thoss OF the United States,
and they will have their say before the settle
ment will be re.. rdedeas fnsi."s "ss5sa
The Times has uother article to-day on the
cotton tfsdse and supply. II says: <"There
was time when the intelligence Of q good
supply of cotton in the United States would
have carried satisfactory assurance to the
manufacturers and workiugmen OF Lancashire.
The sudden destruction Of the old cotton
trade has been ate nded With the destruction
Of the old conditions. Things are no longer as
they we're. Thongha tina cotton supply has
come back again, new fields and factories have
been opened, some under the shelter OF pro-
tection, and some in q more natural atmos-
phere. A more extensive demand for the raw
material raises thepfioe, sdd that rise deprives
Us oftbe conditions essential to the superiority
vre once maintained . 'e'slI ~
John Bright tssysin Q letter Of rood harvest will
tend to restore health to the general trade Of
the country, and when we have sufficient
supply Of cotton, Lancashire will recover from
her distressed condition. It is more cotton
we want, and NOT more taxes on imports. I
suspect the people OF Lancashire Will not fail
to understand this.

suit Of the international rowing match. The
writer asks if the admission OF q co1swain does
not counterbalanee the weight in the boat
IF not, the American system Of rowing is the
best. BE regrets that the question was uutried,
but considers that the, HarFards have no ad-
vantage over the 0xfords. With q coxswain
they lost in steering; without one. they gould
have lost mora. He hope that If the return
match is accepted, both crews will row IN their
own fashion. II that course had been followed
in the late race, it would have been quite as
fair and more instructive. He considers it
hard, however, to pick holes in race 30 we'll
contested and 30 gallantly won. 49, -
The excitement in regard to the article writ
ten by Mrs. Stowe on the subject of Lord and
Lady Byron has not abated. The newspapers
still TEEN with corresponpence on the subject.
A letteyi in the News this morning says: Gin
no instance in history has any one told most
suppslatable truth and repented of his handi-
woSRss' When the first flush OF indignation SUBJ
sides, all will thank the author and publishers
for telling the truth Mrs. Stowe Unveiled
secret formerly carefully guarded BY few, and
restored virtue and vice TO tbeir proper places.
In the future It will be remembered that by
her courage there is one less impo sture in the
world" =. sss
Mr.. Wentworth Whites to the Pail Mall Ca
zette to-day in the matter Of the Stowe-Byron
scandal. He says. Lady Byron's statement in
her own handwriting does not contain an accu-
sstion as grave ~ Ms. Stowe's: Mrs. Stoves
story is inconsi jtent WITH Lady yrpns letters.
Mr:xWentworth concludeaAhis letter with the
foll5wine words; "fcannSk allow that Mrs.
stcwe,s statement Is substantially correct
Aletter from Paris foreshadows an early ab-
dicstior. The Emperor's relapse is probable.
