any step that would bring it into collision
with Spain or any other European Power
while the alabama claims remain sus-
pended over it. Then, it is said, so far
from dreading the recognition of Cuban
belligerent rights by England he would
regard it as a favourable circumstance,
and calculated to lead to the early acqul-
sition Of Cuba by this country and the IN
Jury to British commerce..
We take it for granted that these are
the views of our Secretary OF State, Tor
they are characteristic and crude enough
We agree with him, and think 1t not
likely that the British Government IS
contemplating at present the recognition
of Cuban belIigerency, but not for the
reasons he assigns. England is not afraid
Of a war with Spain or any other Euro
pean Power for such action. There is
not the least reason so fear. Spain IS not
in a condition TO 60 to war, and WouI
not make that a cause of war. Nor would
any other European Power trouble itself
10 maintain the authority OF Spain over
Cuba, or interfere In the least IN them mat
ter. A war with Spain seems to be the
bugbear in Mr.. Fish's mind. He has not
the least comprehension Of the situation
or limited power of Spain, nor OF the Ca
ban question in an international point OF
view. Though a respectable gentleman
he is a timid Old fogy, and utterly unht
for Secretary of State OF this mighty re-
public. Though, speaking OF SPAN gong
to war with England should the bellIge-
rent rights Of Cuba be recognized by the
latter, he evidently had in his tlmld mind
the silly apprehension OF such an event
with this country should our Government
take the step first. Such puerlIity, lml-
ditv, and want of comprehension IN u
Secretary of State are enough to make
every American indignant, and blush tor
shame for the humiliating position his
country is placed IN
If even England were disposed to take
the first step in recognising the Cubans
as belligerents, there is no reason, as Mr..
Fish Justly SAYS, to dread that. Indeed,
we ought to look at it favourably. Nor
do we think it would prevent the acqul-
sition of Cuba by the United States here
after: for that is written down in the book
Of manifest destiny. But England might
gain great advantages both to her COM
merce and prestige in Cuba and through
out the Antilles, and in that point OF view
the British Government is quite capable
of comprehending its interests and acting
mon them should no higher political con-
siderations deter it from such action.
England will never act from sympathy
with the cruelty oppressed and struggI ling
n~atriots of Cuba but She might, from
sself-interest, should she see her way clear
to head off the United States and to weaken
, 1869-06-29

independence, of an American system OF
nolicv for the American continent, or OF
the power and dominating grandeur OF
our great republic, if we do not promptly
accord to the Cubans b~elligeren: rights.
There never was a worse and more cruel
despotism than that OF Spain over a
people who are our neighbours, whose IN
terests are closely united with ours, ana
who have no ties or sympathy with their
rulers or the old European world ; yet
we hesitate to accord the boon of belllge-
rent rights to them
(New York Tribune, May g.
Spain is less cruel to-day than she was
in the bloody days Of Calleja, but she is
practically not a whit wiser now than
then. The problem for her to solve at
the outset was whether Cuba should be
emancipated right speedily, and the re-
bellion thus disarmed of its powerful
weapon of abolition; and secondly,
whether the island should be allowed an
EASY and productive autonomy by Spain,
or should have to seek the same principle
among the United States. A few good
Spaniards in Cuba and elsewhere confess
the folly of the means with which they
have tried to rescue their Cuban posses
sion. They have attempted it IN gross
violation of every saving principle OF
policy, and in outrage against nature
Men must breathe to live, and nations
NOWADAYS must have some form of self
rule or stihe. The old practice of bleed
ing has died out of medicine-it has not
died out of Spain. Mr.. Emilio Castelar,,
perhaps the most advanced Republican
of Spain, early told his countrymen the
truth when he said, in effect, that to war
upon the American principle was like
taking up arms against the deIuge. Yet
we have no doubt that Spanish mlSrule
will not cease to be less stupid till 1t has
shed more blood.
We are not, however, convinced That
Spain is determined to carry the Cuban
war out to the most painful extremity.
Manv fine words have been written IN the
Spanish press of the unlntermittent gal
lantry Of the volunteers, whose business
it appears to be to butcher the Havanese
Of measured intervals. The brute earnest
ness of the SpaniardS in their aim to put
down the rebellion, and the fierce desire
of their veterans to meet their enemy, IS
probably not overstated. But the counter
fact that Spain is asking very large loans
in Europe at oppressive rates, is OF some
inheritance. She is now spending upon
Cnba at the rate of double the enormous
hndcet of the island, while all the estates
thereof are mortgaged and threatened by
the war, and while the Government bank
at Havana has paper issues to the extent
Of $4,000, 900 against o small quantity
Of specie. The prospect of the ruin OF

have acquired paramount infuen"e In the
affairs Of that island, have issued q pro-
clamation wherein they explain and juStI-

Domingo Dulce.
The Havana papers continue to give
glowing accounts Of the successes OF the
Government troops, and to represent the
Instruction as being nearly, if not COM
pletelv e%xtinguished. Particulars are
riven of the landing on Ord instant Of 1870
adyenturers from New York who were

official channels.
We have been favoured with yet anoth-
er proclamation. This m from the
revolutionary party of Santo Domingo
which has its head quarters at SANTANA,
nnder the presidency OF General Luperon,
who in said document makes an appeal
to the people against President Baez,
and also dominates his own chief officers
of state. A circular which accompanies
said paper states that General Cabral
has taken possession of several towns on
the south and is directing his course to-
wards Balm that General Pimentel
onerates in the central districts; that
Generals Cabrera and Valerie have tp-
ken the offensive in the north, and yet
another General, Mawzuetro, keeps the
capital in check from all which is ex-
pected that the revolution will shortly be
an accomplished fact.

THE QUESTION OF CUBAN RECOGNI-
TION AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
-(New York Herald, May 81

According to the Washington cores
nondents Mr.. Secretary Fish has been
ventilating a little the question OF reco8-
nising the belligerent rights of the Gu
bans. He was brought out, it seems, by
the report that the British government
contemplated such recognition as a goGd
stroke of policy for the purpose of estao-
fishing British influence and promoting
with Cuba, and In a measure
to head.of the United States there. Mr.
Fish has no information to confirm stch
a report and thinks such action on the
part of England not at all probable Our
Government, it is said-that is MI Fish,
