SPIRIT OF THE LONDON PREsB-THE CUBAN QUEs-
T1oN-THE STOWE SENSATION ~ TIE COTTON
TRADE-THE LATE ROWING MAToH--THE FRENCH
SITUATION.
LoSDoN, September 10.-rhe Times to-day
has an article on the subject of Sickles' noto to
the Spanish Government, in which it says 1t is
hardly credible that America contcmpYssss the
recognition of Cuba. While Spain has little to
lose, except the island, owing to the confusing
prospect OF war, and it's damaging effects on
her commerce and finance, she admits she must
Ultimately consent to abandon Cuba.
The Telegraph has an article on the Same
sabj jet, saying: s'Amerioan action with re-
spect to CUBA is the aame that England WAS 30
much blamed for, though the cases are no.
precisely parallel. The Cubans are absolutely
without strength, without civil or military Or
gsnization, aud without an established gov
ernment. Ii the Americans vindioate their ac-
tion by the plea that they cannot remain indif-
fereut to the struggles OF friendly people for
freedom and independence, then England in
1881 acted in manner tho Americans now om-
phatically sanction. Looking at the oontro-
versg in its broa dest view, we shall scarcely be
disp!eased to sec America tako q step which
the world would regard as conspicuous ex.
culpahon Of England from responsibility to
America"
The Daily News says: "The rumor is afloat
that the proposed purchase OF Cuba by the
United States has found q powerful friend in
the Spanish administration. II is difficult to
perceive, il the rebellion is suppressed in
Cuba, how material change can be effected
amid the defiant and subjugated population II
the rumors have any foundation, these con-
siderations may possibly incline this powerful
leader to listen favorabiy TO the Offer from the
United States. Though his advocacy may OBJ.
tain great force with other membsrs Of the
government and with the people. the interests
Of England and Franco in the West Indies are
scarcely inferior to thos, OF tho United States,
and they will have their say before the settle
ment will be regarded as fnaI.''
The Times has another article to-day on the
cotton trade and supply. It says: '.There
was time when the intelligence Of good
supply Of cotton in the United States would
have carried satisfactory assurance TO the
manufacturers and workiugmen Of Lsno ashire.
The sudden destruction OF the old cotton
trade has been ate nded with the destruction
OF The old conditions. Things are no longer as
thoy we're. Though the cotton supply has
come back again, new fields and factories have
been opened. some under the shelter OF pro-
lection, aud some in moro natural atmos-
phere. more extensive demand for the raw
material raise, the price, and that rise deprives
us ofthe conditions essential to the superiority
NO once maintained"
John Bright says in letter good harvest will
tend to restore health to the general trade OF
the country, and when we have sufficient
supply OF cotton. Lancashire will recover from
her distressed condition. II is moro cotton
we want, and not more taxes on imports. 1
suspect the people OF LancIshi will not fail
to understand this.
The Times to-day has an editorial on the re-
suit of the international rowing match. The
writer asks II the. admission Of coxswain does
not counterbalahee the woight In the boa.
If not, the American system OF rowing is the
best. he regrets that the question was untried,
but considers thatthe HarvLrds have no ad-
vantage over the OxiordsQ With coxswAin
they'iostsn steering; without one they sould
have lost mora. He hopes that IL the return
match is accepted, both crews will row in their
own.fashiop. II that course had been followed
in the lato race, it would have been quite as
fair and more instructive. He considers it
hnrd, however. to pick holes in race 80 well
contested and 30 gallantly won.
The excitement in regard to the article writ
ten by Mrs. stowe on the subject Of Lord and
Lady Byron has not abated. The newspapers
still teem with correspondence on the subject.
A letter in the News this morning says: s'In
no instance in history has any one told most
unpalatablo truth and repented OF his handi-
work. When the first flush OF indignation SUBJ
sides, all will thank the author and publishers
for telling the truth. Mrs. Stove unveiled q
secret formerly carefully guarded by a Few, and
restored virtue and vice to their proper places.
In the future It will bo remembered that by
her courage there is ono less impo ,ture in the
world"
Mr.. Wentworth writes to the Pail Mall GA.
sette to-day In the matter Of the stowe-Byron
scandal. he says Lady Byron's statement In
her own hancwriting does cot contain an scou-
sstion as grave as Mrs. stowe'sas Mrs. Stoves
story Is incon s.teHt with Lsdy. Byron's letters.
Mr.. Wentworth concludes BID ls.ter with the
= FOLLOWING words 81 cannot allow that Mrs.
Htowe,s statement is substantially correct" /.
