The Hon. \. r. STEWART, ex Secretary Of
the Treasury to Gen. GRANT, being enc Of the
largest importers of French fnery, has shown
lbs regard for his commercial friends in Paris
and Lyons by contributing twenty thousand
francs for the benefit Of wounded French soldiers.
This is timely charity but considering that
Mr.. SrkwARr's mercantile transactions with
Germany are likewise very extensive aul prohta-
bic, be will no doubt make similar donation 10
the German relief fund. Moreover, STEWART
can well afford 20 give d million Of francs instead
Of palty twenty thousand 70 each Of the belli-
Cerents, considering that he will gain immensely
by the war. This he will DO by ehscting his
purchases of French and German goods at low
panic prices, while with his usual cuteness he
continues TO charge the old Xtravagant prices TO
the families aud dealers who confdingly honor
him with their patronage. He has made q vast
fortune out of French aud German goods, and
now is the time when he ought to appropriate q
good share OF it for the benefit Of the poor French
and German soldiers widows and orphans

The cost of Spanish military operations
against Cuba is pretty accurately stated in q
letter written by a Spanish officer from Puerto
Principe, dated on the oath of July last, and pub
lished in the Uairrsal of Madrid on the oath of
August. The writer states that in answer to
questions from several deputies, the Minister Of
War confessed at the end Of last year that 40 0o0
troops had up TO that date been sent TO Cuba and
he suggests that t would be well for the same
Minister TO furnish the country with an account
Of what has become Of those men. lie asserts
that from carefully compiled data he can prove
that the losses which the Spanish army in Cuba
suffered from October, 1869, to May, 1870,
summed up over 1900 men and more than 800
officers; and he argues from this rtaned loss
what the losses must have been in the preceding
thirteen months His object is 10 rcctify the
public belief that, in order TO conceal the real
state Of affairs even from the home Government,
Cuban officials continue 10 draw pay from the
treasury at Madrid for both men and officers who
have hong ago gone to their las, account.
The writer goes on TO prove the absurdity on
the part Of the Government Of Cuba Of calling the
Cubans mere bands of robbers and incendiaries
an absurdity wi ch President GRANT adopted and
June last. This absurdiiy, as the writer justly
SAYS, is proved by the very words Of that Gov
erument. How, he asks, could mere bands Of
robbers resist the efforts of $4,000 armed and
disciplined men, not to speak of tue volunteers
and mobilized troops who have taken the field
he then very ably reviews the various mpotont
attempts TO suppress the instruction which the
Government has made in Camaguey, IN the East
ern Department in the Villas district and else
where, and asserts that in ofery encounter, with
ont single exception, Hd qlraAtdge has been
tiH tie Cutdhs, from the facts that they fight
behind intrenehmcnts or ia ambush. and that
they know the country SO much bette than their
enemies.
This letter, be il remembered, is written by a
Sp nish officer and published in one Of tie lead
ng journals Of The Spanish capital.

Russia on the Rampage.

Baron BRUNNow, the present Russian
Ambassador in France, used to say that the
future contest between the British and Rus
sian forces would not be waged on the
shors of the Dosphorus. but on those of the
Oxus. The probability, however, is that il may
lie waged both in Turkey and in India and,
by remarkable coincidence, the same tele-
gram which foreshadows rupture between
the Car and the Sultan, also announces the
outbreak OF disturbances in Northern India.
1t is probably the fear of a complication
in the East which makes Great Britain so re-
luctant to commit herself in the Franco
German war. Ofcourse she must concentrate
al ,; g'-ources upon the defence of her in
