Q.
About Consular Rates.

As the first ships of the Northern whaling fleet
are now daily expected, the Consular rates at
which whalemen are to be paid for oil and bone
will soon be fixed. In former years there has
been complaint on the part of seaman, and those
interested in their welfare, that they were not
fairly treated in the matter Of paying off, Com
plants have also come from those who own in the
fleet that they have been paid off, too high rates.
The wide difference in the rates fixed in different
years, varying from CA cents per gallon in
1865, to 80 cents in 1861 show that they
are not without some grounds. These complaints
have made the position Of the Consul a very per-
picking one. We do not intend to charge former
Consuls with having a bias one way or the other,
but is it not possible that they have accepted
statements of interested parties without taking
the trouble to investigate the matter for them
selves? 1t is not such n difficult matter to collect
the evidence of parties having a knowledge of the
expenses consequent upon shipment of oil and
bone to Eastern ports, and from such evidence to
arrive at and fix upon a fair and equitable rate.
After the toll and exposure attendant upon a
Northern cruise, whalemen deserve to be paid all
that their catch is worth, after expenses are de-
Quoted.

The Bulletin has the following /:
spain and cuba.

If the telegraphic news, received by the Ethan
Allen, is reliable, the Spanish people were intensely
worked up on learning the true state of affairs in
| Cuba, and that the cause of the revolutionists il
80 strong as to threaten to terminate the rule oil
the Spaniards on that island. To add to this,
exaggerated rumors of the object of Sickle's
Mission to Spain have been circulated in Europe,
which have excited not only the Spaniards but
other European people.
The true statement of the case is this. Gen.
Sickles, as Minister to Spain, took out an offer
from the American Government to mediate be-
tween her and her rebellious colonists. He sub
mittcd four propositions first, that Spain recog-
nize the independence of Cuba. That the Cubans
pay Spain for forts, custom houses, and other
public property, n sum not more than 500 ,OOO,-
900, and whatever sum might be fixed on, the
American Government would endorse or guaran-
tee the payment Of. The third required the
abolition of slavery. The fourth pledged the
faith Of the United States that all the terms on
the part Of Cuba would be fulfilled.
Early in September, Secretary Fish received Il
reply to these propositions, IN which Spain pro-
posed n new basis Of settlement, on these terms

island. SO that the people may have an opportunity 10 decide
whether they viii remain with spain, or whether they prefer
TO be separate and independent
FJfA-spain VIII guarantee full protection to such Of the
insurgents as may be selected TO come through the lines OF the
Spanish army, for the purpose OF treating with the representa-
lives Of the Spanish Government foe n settlement on the basis
OF these propositions
SirtA-The United States to guarantee TO spain the pay
ment Of Cub~s proportion Of the public debt
Thus the matter now stands. Spain received
the American Governments offer for mediation,
but suggests q very differcat basis. 1t is possible
that she may yield. and some feasible plan be
fixed on but probably not without renewed
efforts to crush the rebellion. the result Of which
may be that the island will be lost to her, and
without any pecuniary consideration.
The Cuban revolution, says the New York
Spectator, has now been eleven months in pro-
gress, and though the Spanish people have been
assured that it is Insignificant, it still continues
to be the great peril of Spain. 1t draws severely
upon her treasury and upon her army. 1t is

wasting the very life of Cuba, but IRON the :ena-
city and obstinacy Of the rebellion, it is evident
that Spain must give up all hopes of SURPRISING
it. 1t grows stronger and more confident every
day. while Spain grows weaker and less potent to
wage decisive war upon it. That Cuba must be
free is written in the book of destiny, and if her
own arms do not fully accomplish that event, the
sympathy of other nations will do it for her.
