receive from the seat of war. The Cubans,
however, appear to be far more in earnest
than the majority of Central American revo-
lutionists: they are in rebellion against a most
onerous despotism, and it is apparently only
the want of arms, ammunition, and war mate
rial that prevents them from speedily accom-
plishing their deliverance. As it is, the con-
test appears to be about where it was month
ago, and no headway has been made on either
side
1t is gratifying to know, however, that De
Rodas, the new Captain General, has not yet
proved himself the bloodthirsty monster that
he was expected to be, and his course thus
far has been singularly moderate and polite
1t is doubtful however, whether any manage
ment will be able to retain the island for
SPAIN and the Spanish rule hitherto has not
been such as to secure for it the sympathies
or respect of disinterested lookers-on. There
are signs of trouble in Spain itself which will
probably prevent any great number of rein
forcements being sent to Cuba, and the Cap
ain-General has his hands full with managing
his volunteers, Independently of fighting the
insurgents. The latter although badly sup
piled with munitions of war, have many sd-
vantages, and it is safe to say that, if they
were Yankees, they would by this time be in
a fair way to succeed in their object. But
being Spanish colonists it is impossible to cal
culate what they will do.

THE CUBAN EVOLUTION.

REVOLUTIONS and rebellions in Spanish coun-
tries are very different things from what our
own experiences in that line would lead us to
expect them to be, and it is impossible to esti-
mate the extent and Importance of these con-
tests by our own standard. In some OF the
south American republics they have revoiu-
ton nearly every week, and Mexico and some
OF the West India islands are in a chronic
state of disturbance caused by the armed con-
tentions of rival factions, who do great deal
Oh henting and issuing of pronunciamentos,
Dut commit very little slaughter. The revo-
luton now in progress in Cuba has apparently
the same unsatisfactory character of nearly all
such contests, and the progress of affairs
Is probably as unsatisfactory es the news Ye

| NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
INTELLIGENCE of the most gratifying character
has been received from the exploring party
who started out recently, under the auspices
of Messrs Jay Cooke & Co., to survey the
route for the Northern Pacific Railroad. The
well-known financial ability of Mr. Jay Cooke
induced this road to select his firm as their
fiscal agents. Mr.. Cooke, in order to inform
himself in the most thorough manner with
regard to the practicability and advantages of
the new route, organized and sent out an ex-
ploring party, composed of the following
gentlemen:-Messrs. w. E. G. Moorehead,
Rev. R. B. Claxton, Samuel Wilkinson,
William Minor Roberts, and Thomas H. Can.
field.
On Saturday telegram was received from
this party, dated at Seattle, Puget's Sound,
Washington Territory, June 9th The
explorers were in excellent health and spirits,
and their expectations were more than
realized as to the beauty and capabilities of
the northwestern section of our territory, and
as to the advantages of the new route to the
Pacific. The difficulties to be overcome in
the construction of the road are not so
great as was anticipated. 1t will pass through
rich and fertile country that is destined to
become one of the garden spots of our domi-
Mon, while it will not only be shorter by
several hundred miles than any other practi-
cable route, but it will be in direct line of
communication with the most important
points of China and Japan.
The exploring party is now investigating
the harbor facilities of the coast about Pugets
IL, Il, oto Oh
ward and will meet another set of explorers,
sent out by the company, at the Missouri
river.
In assuming the fiscal agency for this road,
Messrs Jay Cooke & Co. felt it due to their
own reputation to assure themselves of the
character of the proposed route; and having
done this, they can put the securities of the
road upon the market with the most perfect
confidence The Northern Pacific Railroad
will start from Lake Superior, and will termi-
nate at Seattle, on Puget Sound. AS we
have said it will be several hundred
miles shorter than any other
road that can be constructed, and will
establish more direct communication with
China and Japan The physical difficulties
to be overcome are not so great as in the case
of the routes further south; and not the
least important feature of the road will be
that it will open UP magnif-
cent country for settlement and i'm
provement. The characteristic energy and
well-known reputation of Messrs. Jay Cooke
& Co. are guarantee that the financial affairs
of the road will be we'll managed, and the
work prosecuted with all due rapidity. 1t is
the determination to build a first-class road
and, as great national enterprise, tits worthy
of the encouragement and support of al
classes.

THE NATIONAL S1ENGERFEsE.

THE NATIONAL S14ENGERFEST
The eleventh National Sengerfest of the
German singing societies of the United States
was inaugurated on Saturday in Baltimore,
and will continue during the greater portion
of the present week. Every citizen of
Philadelphia remembers the gra2d festival
that was held in this city last year, and the
favorable impression that was made by the
uniform good order that prevailed, and the
innocent enjoyment that it gave to an i'm
mense number of people of both sexes and
all ages. 1t is impossible to look
upon these sengerfests except with satisfac-
ton: the objects for which they are held-a
trial of skill in singing, musical entertain
ments of high class, and social enjoyment
are in every way praiseworthy. They have a
tendency that is worthy of encouragement
to popularize really good music; and although
our Teutonic citizens have way of their own
of mingling physical and intellectual enjoy
ment that does not suit the taste of some
people, yet these festivals have really
refining and elevating influence. They
prove that large crowds of people of all classes
can assemble for pleasure without any
disgraceful exhibitions of ruffianism,
which are apt to disfgure similar attempts at
enjoyment by promiscuous crowd of native
American or Hibernian citizens; and the
readiness with which other classes have begun
| to unite with the Germans in promoting such
festivities is an encouraging sign. We hope
that the Baltimore Sengerfest will be as
great a success as the affair held in this city
last summer; and in expressing the wish that
the Philadelphia singers may carryoff all the
prizes, we are inspired rather by commend
able pride and interest in our own citizens
than by jealousy of those from other locali-
| ties,
