SPIRIT OF THE LONDON PRESS on THE CUBAN
QUESTION AS CONNECTED WITH TIE UNITED
STATES.
LONDON, September 17.-The Telegraph has
an editorial to-day on the relations existing be-
tween Spain and the United st ates, wherein it
Gays: "The recognition Of the Cubans would
place Washington in the wrong on the Alabama
question. With what consistency can rights
be granted wandering guerilas, not formida-
BILE enough for o blockade? l. England desired
to put the accusers Of her policy out of court,
she should encourage the policy ascribed to
President Grant. We prefer to take the ques-
ton ON the broad grounds Of common interests.
War between Spain and America would be
material injury that would be equally appor-
toned. The shipping Of the litter would be
prey to prfvatcers, and her commerce, with its
profits, would pass to neatrals. The reduction
Of he national debt would be arrested, inter-
nal reorganization checked, and public dis
content would revive with the growing bur-.
dens. Spain would lose Cuba. but would con-
tinue Spain With her obstinate tenaclty Of re-
sistauce, her great undeveloped resources. her
power to attack American trade. and her COM
parative invunerability to retaliation. America
would gain at heavy cost which might for
years be more loss thsn q gain; would be en-
tangledin war combining maximum of
cost and minimum Of glory. Su:h consde-
rations cannot pass unregarded at Washing.
ton, since there is still ground for the hope
that peace may be preserved"
The Examiner, on tae subject of Spain and
Cuba, has the following: "By the history of
analogy, there is no longer a physical imfedi-
ment 10 the representation o. Cuba in the
Spanish Cortes. Expediency recopmends it,
but for Cuba it is not too late. Rnot sold or
surrendered, her own inhabitants must, in
some form, be mortgaged to the Americans,
with the certainty that once in pawn, she will
eventually become theirs. It is better for
Cuba that this should be 80, and it is better,
perhaps, for Spain"
The Times has an editorial on Sickles' note to
the Spanish Government on the Cuban ques-
ton, wherein it says "It was generally be-
heved President Grant would pot interfere or
allow interference on the Cuban question until
. Congress could vote upon it. Is be less reso-
lutte than formerly, or has pressure forced him
to s4Sotion demands upon Spain for the aban-
donment of Cuba No doubt the alternative
ceered Spain is her abandonment OF the is
land, or American recognition Of the insur-
gents. The probabilities are that We are on
the eve OF serious events. The struggle will
be hopeless so far as Spain is concerned, but
the government cannot resist the impulses OF
the people. The name Of Spanish pride is
fast kindling, and the government in striving
to check it will be extinguished. In the most
tranquil provinces OF Spain come offers of men
and arms, in order that regular troops may
90 to Cuba. The aggressive policy of the
United States cannot be justified by the at
itude OF Spain towards Cuba.o It is not q
question OF slavery. for the abolitiep Of slavery
has already been decided upon-not adetermi-
nation Of Spain TO resist the demands ]! q q the
Cubans, fer negotiations have been opened
to allow severance Of the island. Setting
aside the question whether the means TO set
Cuba free is fair to Spain, it is doubtful il
war Of racee might not ensue If the insurrec-
ton is not e1tinguished before the cession OF
the island. Under the present critical circum-
stances the Cortss, on reassembling, will have
to turn their whole thoughts and attention to
the difficulties and dangers Of, Cuba"
