The Times this morning IN leader
on the Cuban question. says be must be
a clever man who can determine the
intentions of the United States with
respect to Cuba, There ara. two par
ties IN the Uaited States; one fayors
non intervention, and the other ap-
proves of Minister Sickles' course,
and finally, there Is President Grant
who vibrates between the two; but
there cant be two opinions la regard
to the blunder which Gen. Sickles
has made. The prospect Of the sale
or loss of Cuba has caused a general
and violent commotion IN Madrid.
The Spanish Government Is bound
to be extremely careful not to wound
national suseeptibilities. There IS no
indication as to the readiness Of the
Spanish to fight against any odds,
when honor Is at stake. The only
question Is whether they are in a con-
dition to fight at all. If. thesp3sses-
sion Of Cuba is made a point OF
honor, justice will help Spa better
than force. Spain must consider
whether she has valid cause in the
Antilles. However anxious Europe
may be to recognize the validity Of
Spanish rights, she will have to in
quire what use has been made of
them. Europe not long ago shrank,
in America, from what she deemed
a Just aud generous cause. Austria
and France may ieel a desire TO re
gain the prestige they lost In Mexico.
but they must Tefute the assertions
from America that the war IN Cuba
is carried on IN manner con-
trary to the principles Of human
ity. They must incur no risks Of
completely iu deeds Of bloodshed, nor
must they car cut the pratensionsi of
Spain in refusing the rights aud reas-
enable demands OF her colonies.
Principles of righteousness must pre-
vail over political interests and ex-
pediency. The sympathy of the
world will be with Spain In proper
ton as her treatment of the c0lonisls
is just.

in the report of the Gaullojs that

PARIs, September 25 The report
| that the husband and eldest son of
a woman who had recently been mur-
dered with her children, had been ar
rested at Havre was incorrect. A
man named Trappman. an alleged ac-
! complice IN the deeds, was traced to

| possibly have been murdered by the
same parties who killed the mother
and her children.
