passed. England takes care, however, as Is
known, to guard her people against fraudulent
debtors by punishments in another shape and
adjudged by courts Of higher jurisdiction than
those appertaining to the sheritf's Office.
Rome was fervently pious and ecclesiasti-
cally jubilant after the feasts Of the Christmas
season, notwithstanding the ominous ''caucus-
ing" OF the members Of the Franco German
episcopate on matters appertaining to the
Council. An Italian bishop, completely blind,
harangued the fathers On matters Of faith,
himself presenting an affecting physical evil
dence of the fact that man may believe yet
not see. Peru gave silver basin filed with
gold to the Pope, with quite number OF
valuable articles beside. and his Holiness re-
turned his blessing to the land of his early
missionary labors. Pho Mono celebrated mass
in st. Stephens church, and appears, on the
whole, to have entered on the year 1870 under
pretty encouraging circumstances.
Tho Cuban Revolution Not Vet Ended.
Recent kilograms and mail advices from
Cuba establish the fact that the Cuban rcvolu-
tion is not yet terminated. Notwithstanding
the recent boastful proclamations Of the Spanish
generals nothing worth recording has been &C
complshed. We hear less OF Valmaseda and
more of Pueblo of late. Both are said to be
good generals, but so far their generaiship has
been of little account. They have made
show OF doing something, and only show.
Armies have been marched into the interior
without doing much damage to tho insurgents
and have returned to rest upon prospective
IaureIs. Campaign after campaign has been
planned, inaugurated and closed without &C.
complishing the slightest victory of any
moment over the rebels. The Cubans are
forced to pursue a guerilla system of warfare.
The reasons for this course are obvious. But
what is the immense Spanish army doing all
this time? Over forty thousand regulars
and about the same number of volun-
teers, with powerful naval force, have
been engaged in quelling the revolution,
and the greatest Successes that have been ac-
complished for the honor Of Spain have been
in the way Of fowery proclamations and brutal
butcheries. If proclamations could crush the
struggling Cubans they would have been
stamped out OF existence long since. Stewards
sixty day proclamation cannot compare in the
slightest degree with some of the efftlsons of
De Rodas, Valmaseda and Pueblo. Only short
time ago we heard Of numerous engagements
between the government troops and the insur-
gents" near Puerto Principe and the Cinco
Villas district. As the particulars of those
engagements have only been summed in
the killing Of forty insurgents 1t Is safe to
infer that things have not gone in way to
please the Spaniards. Only few days ago
General Carbo, at the head Of large body Of
troops, attacked the rebels near Cienfuegos,
under Cavads, and was defeated. General
Pueblo, who loudly proclaimed his intentions
before entering on the campaign in the Central
Department Of ending the rebellion in his dis
trict, has not accomplished anything as yet.
In view of these facts it begins to look very
much as if the Cuban revolution is not yet
ended
