editorial on Sickles' diplomacy in Spain, and

TO BE SENT oUr-THg REMoNsrRANcE OF THE
UNITED STATES.
LONDON, September 14.-A Madrid corres-
pondent OF tho London Times writes "a fol-
lows: "Bitherto the Spanish Government and
press have unwisely adopted the plan of con-
cealing unfavorable Cuban news, but the Epoca
has now broken tho silence and startled the
Spaniards by making a statement of actual
facts, and vehemently urging the dispatch of
troops and the union Of men of all parties, so
that the government may be left FREQ to save
Cuba. Tho news of Sickles' proposal to recog-
nize the Cuban insurgents as be!liserents has
caused as mnch excitement as if he threatened
to take the part of the Cubane. 1t had the
effect to make funds fall to tho lowest point
touched for tho past sixteen years. The dis
patch of General Sicklcs not ye; been publish
monsiranco OF the United States has unques-
ionably terrified tho spanards amazingly.
The Times, in an editorial on the Cuban
question, says If the American negotiations
for the cession of Cuba have failed, it must be
because the sum rendered was deemed insult
iicient. or tho Washington Government breads
tho opposition Of those who feel confident that
Cuba must fall into The hands of the United
States, or deem it folly to incur liability. Tho
Spanish Government has been admonished to
put an end TO tho insurrection, or give up the
island on any terms. II thcso circumstances
have prompted the Madrid Government to play
its lust card for the articles and stake all on it,
1t cannot be congratulated on it's resolution.
The subjugalion OF Cuba cauno. be achieved
by soldiers, nor will it result from series of
victories. The troops may hold the scaports,
but the inland regions will be against them;
armed columns may traverse the island, but
they can nowhere establish q permanent loot
ing. With the exception OF few traders,
Spain has no Aiends on tho island. Prim AID
Serrano havo often told the Cortes that the
loss of Cuba is merely question of time; for
four months they h,vo been devising tho most
advantageous terms. 1t is to be hoped that
wisdom and consistency will enable them to
see that it is good to be rid nj tho island OH
any terms, and cause them to consider before
wasting men and money, which they cannot
spare in the furtherance OF an enterprise
which will never yield hundrcth part OF what
it has already irrcparably cost.
PAHIs, September 14.-Letters from Madrid
INSERT that q 1eet Of ron-clads will bo sent to
Cuba in November, in case the United States
recognize. The Spanish Government atops III
kilograms which it does not approve, especially
those concerning Cuba. The Barcelona Diario
hopes that Notwithstanding the action OF the
United States, Spain will know how to maintain
her 1ag and her dignity.
