dering the crew and that they felt con-
fident that there would be an excitement Of
that kind If the PERT came into the larbor.
The Spanish authorities were then as they
are now, at the morcy of the volunteers, and
therefore they did not want TO evoke an in
creased schism between themselves aud those
under whose sulIerance they held their posi-
tons on the island.
A careful investigation evinced the fact
that F. A. PERKINS & Co. did not know ut
the time when they chartered tho vessel that
the PERT had taken hostile expedition to
Cuba, and that therefore they were in no
manner whatsoever concerned in that pro.
ceeding; and, furthermore, that tho crew
whom PERKINS & Co, had placed on board
Of the vessel did not embrace single por-
son who had in any form aided the cxpcdi.
tion. These facts were communicated to the
Spanish authorities and they only reiterated
what they had said before.
The then acting United States Consul
PERKINS & Co. to advise the same to send the
PERT to Havana. and thereby to test the ques-
ton uhet1er the flag Of the United States
could properly protect its citizens, ne migns
become involved in conflict with the con-
tractcd intelligence of the State Department
that would result in serious trouble to him
self, and therefore he advised those agents
not to have the PERT sent to Cuba, notwith-
standing the character Of the business she
would he engaged in md the known char
actor of her crew; and the agents advised
PERKINS & Co rs the acting ConsulGeneral
had sugges:ed- and ~ho Srenish-ss.l.Asities
10 Havana had directed. Tho correspond
ence on the subject had to be carried on by
the agents in the most secret manner, to save
their Threats from laceration. At the pre-
sent time the perit is at q good distance from
Havana, plying between New Orleans aud
Apalachicola.
The result Of this transaction has demon
stratcd that practically the flag of the United
States docs not protect the lives and property
of the citizens of the United States when the
spaninris are disposed to destroy either,
where they have On opportunity to display
their inherent aversion to all Americans and
American interests.

Our Canadian ncighbors have been in q
state Of excitement for some time past from fear
of great invasion Of Fenians for the purpose OF
anncxing the whole Dominion TO the Iiish Rcpub-
lie. On this side of the frontier, people are dis
eesNa-tv laugs~t the rsRic is.which Canada Is
involved, because II is not believed that the Fe-
mans have either the purpose or the means to
undertake so large an enterprise. But who can
say that the Canadian authorities are not better
informed than we are? Ii is not impossible that
we may be the deluded party, and that North
America is really on the eve Of a powerful Fenian
demonstration. The rulers Of the Dominion have
great interest in ascertaining the facts in the
case, and Of course keep their spies in every
Fenian organization. II is much more likely that
We underestimate the strength and desperation
Of the Brotherhood than that Sir Jons YouGo

cordingly, TnE SUS does not join in the general
food of ridicule with which the preparations Of
the Dominion Government are visited in this

The Navy Department is go intently en-.
gagged in preparing for the forthcoming annual
excursion of the Cabinet to the watering places
throughout tue country, tina. no provision has
been made to save the lives of the sailors who
will be stationed on the iron clads of Key West
during the approaching summer. Some hulks
should be provided that could be well housed
over and ventilated. The sailors could sleep
aud eat on the hulks, and repair on board
the iron-clads for the purposes Of discipline.
1t is a well established fact that neither the
officers nor the sailors who are stationed on the
iron-clads can keep themselves in a perfectly
healthy condition, in a tropical climate, if they
arc closely confined to their quarters, which are
below the line of the water that surrounds the
vessels.

There are about two thousand Cubans In
Icy West. The owners or landlords Of houses,
which until recently rented very unprofitably,
now successfully demand high rates. Every fine
Sunday the Cubans 1y their national flag from
their residences. The city then presents highly
animated appearance. One Of the flags is aoated
from house which is directly opposite the hotel
where the Spanish Consul has his headquarters
That official therefore, has the colors he so sim
cerely abhors almost literally under his nose. In
the rear Of the hotel is the rear Of the Louvre, a
CATS where the Cubans meet for discussion, which
is generally sufficiently, vehement TO make the
tympanums Of the Spanish Consuls ears Jingle.
lie is a recent importation direct from Spain. He
never goes out o nights. The Cubans have to
60 armed at night to protect themselves from as
sassination. Those who walk out after dark carry
stout sticks, which resemble the headless heavy
canes carried by the London snobs, or their imita-
tors when they make their appearance on Broad
way Since GREESwALD was murdered in Havana,
blue umbrellas have become highly fashionable
with the Cubans as well as with American citi-
zens in Key West. The congregations of the
Protestant churches in that city are largely in
creased by Cubans, who, in addition to contrlbut-
ing to shake of the civil yoke of Spain, also want
to free themselves from that system Of religious
instruction that they say has been grossly per-
verted at least In Cuba

The Latest Disaster in East New York.

East New York has had many Of its houses
blown down within short time. The hamlet

thereon he cheapest possible structures. On Mon
day, at arout noon, the frames of three unfinished
twO.stOry houses at Lewis avenue and Decatur
street, were demolished bYa pull Of wind. Tho
structure was owned by John Chapman. At the
same time the frames OF four two-stOry houses at
Greene avenue were also blown down. c. ID. Bur

having inst and forcible terms.

I'VE have let pass mn opportunity to gain control
at o cheap rate OF the finest arbor in the West In

pared with the possibility Of being sadded with st.
Domingo, with its ignorant, superstitous race,
chtoniculiy afflicted with civil war and indefinitely
ia debit the sacrifice of ST. Thomas Is loss indeed;
but il is not in this light that the matter is chiefly to
be regretted. We have made "A bad record as a ma
ton In our dealings with other nations, We have
given the governments Of the earth good cause to be
on their guard In fortifylug all future bargains with
our accredited agents. We have inflicted blow
upon our own reputation more serious than any
which could be- dealt By ISLANDERS from without"
All this is true, aud some day the American
people will bitterly feel it.
