Outrages on American Citizens in
Cuba


1t is not improbable that the government
Of Spain may yet have long account to set
tic with the United States, to account for
outrages committed on American citizens in
the Island of Cuba. Several cases of out
rage have already occurred and have been
reported through the columns of American
newspapers. 1t was only few days ago
that the New York Herald published letter
from its correspondent In Havana, which
contained the following paragraph
1.-THE acting Consul General Of the United
States recently made application for a passport
for Jose Vicente Brito, native OF this island,
a naturAli1ed American citizen, whose family
resides In New Jersey. Senior Brito was soon
after arrested, and the Consul received com
munication from the OWL Governor stating
that he did not recognize his right to apply
for passports, Brito was subsequently, re-
leased on production OF his papers, aud the
Consul telegraphed to Warrington asking
the prompt Intervention OF the Government
for the protection of Its citizens through him
or to accept his resignation"
Mr.. Brito arrived in Washington yester
day, and will, at the earliest practicable mo.
ment, call the attention of the State Depart
ment to his case. He has prepared a long
protest against the acts of the Spanish au'
thorities ofthc Island In which protest he emu
merates at length the outrages that were per
petrated. Mr.. Brito was naturalized in 1850
and has since then resided In New Jersey
for the last eight years being a citizen of the
town of New Brunswick. He is a dentist
aud for few years past has been in tn,
habit of going to havana In the winter tim
to practice mis- profession. 1t was his bust
IIess, therefore, that took him to Cuba thl
winter, when he was arrested as state'
above, and only escaped through the inter
position of the American Consul. He ha
had an interview, since his arrival here, wit
Senator Stockton, who will at the prope
time bring the matter to the attention @
Congress.

Our readers will reSolfect that Seth Green,
Esq, Of New Yeri, came to this city last
season. an1rcndeavored to interest Congress
and the>Sitizens of this District in behalf of
hs3<eulture in the Potomac, especially the
--gulturc Of shad.
Congress turned deaf ear to his PROPOSE
tion, and many of our people poohed at him
and his plans and methods.
Many people In New York State and in
other portions of the North are beginning to
direct attention 10 this business, and 1t bids
fair to become at no distant day very lucra-
tive business, and will doubtless employ a
considerable amount of capital in carrying
I on.

this fish culture, saysi

IL has recently been stated that emigration
rom Canada TO the United States was never
10 large as At this moment, and that nothing
prcvents the emigration Of still greater num-
bers but the total impossibillty of disposing
OF real estate In Canada except at ruinous
sacrifices. More are kept there only because
they cannot get away. Business and trade
IL at stand-still. The loss Of reciprocity
hrows that country back to where 1t was in
1854, and annexation to the United States,
hateful as It is to the Provincial politicians,
stares them In the face as an memorable ne
cessity unless reciprocity can be revived.
What is true Of Canada is true of the
other provinces. A recent number OF a
Nova Scotia journal, noticing the departure
of a party of young men from New Glasgow
TO California, says:

Gen. Sickles sppo0tment as minister 10
Spain. Congress passed law last session
prohibiting the appointment Of military Off
cials to civil and diplomatic positions, but
to obviate this law Gen. Sickes was placed
on the retired list Of the army. The sttor-
ney general says that this has not removed
the objection, as an officer on the retired list
s still in the army, receives his pay, &c,
and can at any time be called to active duty
Sickles must therefore either resign his colo
necy in the regular army or the Spanish
mission. He is debating The question. This
furnishes another instatce Of Grants devo.
ton TO the laws and Of lis determination to
enforce them, whether b. likes then or not.
