Americans generally will rejoice that the
acquisition of Cuba has ut last become
merely n question of money. From the
tenure of the telegraphic dispatches on the
subject, the New Orleans Times thinks there
can be no doubt that Spain is not only will
ing, but anxious, to sell. Considering the
great importance of the island to the mother
country, and the immense revenues hereto
fore derived from it, there is no hypothesis
left upon which to account for this strange
and sudden determination, save dire neces-
sity. This, of course, puts different phase
upon the rebellion than that heretofore rep
resented. We may now more fully credit
the reports of the revolutionary party, and
ask ourselves the question whether it is
worth while buying plum that, in very
short time, will drop into our laps through
its own ripeness AT all events, the conduct
OF tho Spanish Government in the premi-
Sos, taken in connection with the late news
from tie scat of war, would seem to indicate
feeling of hopelessness upon the part of
the Government in its ability to reduce the
outbreak. With these facts before him, we
hope that our great real estate agent, Mr.
Seward, will not act too hastily, but will in
trodnce little of that diplomatic dawdling
with which he dnndled the Alabama and
other vcxatious cases during so many
months, thus aflurding the Cubans an op-
portunity to commence their American
career like good citizens by making huge
saving to thea United States Trcasnry-n
saving they will fully realize the Importance
OF when they assume the duties of helping
to fill it,
