WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is. 1870

- In the debate, yesterday, in the House OF
Representatives. on Cuban affairs, Mr.. Banks
severely censured and criticised the course OF
the administration, and the sending in OF the
message on the day before. "Throughout his
remarks he attributed the preparation Of the
message to the same hand that bad assisted
the Spanish minister in preparing his dispatch
es on the Cuban question, and lie pointed out
tho scar marks" in both. In reply to an IN,
quiry, he declined to furnish the name OF this
individual, but on the floor and elsewhere It Is
understood that Mr.. Caleb Gushing got up
the greater portion Of the aforesaid message.
MIR. Banks disclaimed blaming the PRESIDENT
but every indirect blow which he dealt the ad-
ministration was emphasized by the galleries
in applause, aud his denunciatlon OF the Span
ish minister for imputing improper motives to
those who espouse the Cuban cause met the
same kind of approval" Messrs. OIth and
FarDsworth replied to Mr.. Banks, and defend
ed the course of the President.
