When the Spanish authorities pro-
posed to the New York Cuban Junta
to assure unconditional peace to the
island, on condition that the revolt.
tionists ask for an autonomy, (which
shall be granted" similar to that of
Canada. the patriots replied:tbst pOth-
ing short Of entire freedom from Spain
can secure any liberty for Cuba, and
that there is no possibility Of any
agreement, the basis of which shall
NOT be the Independence Of the island
that such proposition is q sarcasm,
aimee the Spanish government cannot
recognize any right 10 the Cubans, rs
long as il preserves in the island its
ruinous system, and it knows that
when the Cubans shall have the man.
-agement Of their own affairs under the
Spanish flag, it could not carry TO its
cxchequer the millions it has been
drawing annually, nor to continue to
overflow the island eth officials with.
out conscience, who only come over to
Cuba to get rich upon the ruin and
degradation of the natives, and to per-
petuate the odiom regime of their
fcandalous abuses; that the Spans,
government knows the Cubans are ab-
olitionists, while the negro traders and
the great majority Of the shareholders
are Spaniards, and although the Min.
istry at Madrid, forced by the Ameri-
can administration, would promulgate
the emancipation of the slaves, those
men, who now represent Spain in Cuba,
would deadly oppose the enforcement
Of such measure, and would resist,
as they have already resisted, to obey
it; that even the submission Of the vol.
unteers TO the laws proceeding from
the peninsula and the apparent good
faith Of all the Spaniards with respect
to their promises of liberalism, would
not form the basis ON which reasons
could be founded to induce the Cubans
to lay dawn their arms. since they
have been always deceived by the
Spanish Government; that the patriots
cannot draw o curtain over luxury of
horror, with which the Spaniards have
made war upon the Cubans. nor over
the numberless murders committed in
cold blood on peaceful citizens, in the
solitude Of the fields as we'll as in the
center Of the town; in the dead of
night as we'll rs in full daylight; that
the Cubans cannot forget the transport
tation Cf untried men by hundreds to
Fernando Po, nor the women violated
right before the eyes of their tied has-
bands, fathers, brothers and sons, nor
the infants run through with the points
OF the byonets.

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1870-01-20

The RAoE-This exciting event came
off on the ice near the Rapids last Satur'
day afternoon-Doctor D. j. Easton's
''Kohnke' and Mr.. Ira Clark's horse
being entered. The ice being covered
with snow, a double track was cleared
for the entire distance, giving clear
course. -.
Betting ran high, and large amount
of money changed hands,-Manitowoc
men betting mostly on Kohnke, and
Clarks Mills on his opponent. Thos.
Windiate. Henry Sibree and Geo. Bark
er were appointed Judges, and at about
three o'clock q start was made,
'Kohnke" coming in sevnral lengths
ahead, both horses having done some
excellent trotting. The second and
third heats, like the first, were won by
the Manitowoc horse,-he coming home
on the last heat about twenty rods ahead,
winning the race and the 500 very
easily. Both horses trotted we'll, the
only difficulty with tbs Clark horse being
that he travelled too slow to make it in
teresting.
The race created an intense excitment
among the ''sports," and a large num-
Der of teams were congregated on the ice
near the course; there must have been
oyer two Thousand persons present,
large number of which came from the
country for the express purpose of bet
ting on the Clark horse, and they did
consequence, lost their money.
The race was we'll conducted, there
being no disturbance whatever, and bar.
ring the fact that the victims" felt a
little cross, the best of feelings we're en-
tertained.
The best time made by Kohnke was
2 AS which was done on the second
heat.
We understand there is to be another
race next Saturday between the loosing
horse. in this race and the Roberts mare,
which, if it comes off. will create consid-
cradle interest, Purse, $50.

Railroad to Appleton.


We copy from the Appleton Post an az
ticle in relation to railroad communication
between that place and Milwaukee, The
Post is wise in giving the preference to a
road direct to this city over one commuhi-
eating with the lake at some other point
Milwaukee is and must long remain the
commercial metropolis of the state, and
SO long as it is, the interior towns and
cities must find their interest in direct
communication with u.s.
Of the plan suggested by the Post we
will not attempt to speak until we under
stand it more fully 1t seems to us, how
ever, that half of the expense of building
the road is more than our share. Mil
waukee would be greatly benefited by the
proposed road. That no one will be dis
posed to deny. But the greater part Of
the advantages-ln ready access to mar
ket, In increase of population and in en-
HANGED value of property-will insure to
the country through which the road may
pass. A fourth or perhaps third of
expence we might assume, as we should
be brought in close business relation with
rich country, from which we are now
cut Off, in a great measure, and as the
proposed line would, doubtless, give us
considerable business from the north.
eastern part of the state, which now goes
to Chicago.
It should in any event, be an unalter-
able condition that there should never be
a consolidation with the Northwestern
road: milwaukee, contributes largely to
the building Of road it should never be
put Under the control of Chicago.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1870-01-20

Coop FOR MANITowoC.-It is affirm
ed by our wheat buyers, and they are
good authority. that nane-tenths of all the
wheat purchased on the street is brought
from points outside of Manitowoc Coun-
ty, most of it is coming from Sheboy-
gan and Chiffon This seems incredi-
bic, and were it not for the fact that it
came from authentic sources We would
not credit the statement.
In our opinion the reason for this is
the fact that our merchants and produce
dealers can afford to pay more for said
wheat and do, than the buyers of other
neighboring cities and towns because
they ship it immed ately. our harbor
facilities enabling propellers and vessels
to run sill winter, as they are now
doing. With railroad communication
with Appleton and the West, what
market Manitowoc would become!
! Think of this business men!

SHIP YARD PoINT.-A visit to this
ship-buildirg region revealed two yes
sells in course OF repair, and two being
built
The first we came to was the j. and
A. Stronach, Milwaukee vessel, which
has been sawa In two, the stern part
moved back twenty-five feet, and the
space being built up again, besides which
she is receiving thorough rebuild. JAS
per Hanson has the job, and if we mis-
take not the vessel will be better when
completed than ever before.
Next to the Stronach is the John
Weber, which vessel is also undergoing
thorough rebuilding, and is under the
hands of Mr.. Hanson, also. Both will
be finished and ready for business on the
opening of navigation.
Just west of the Weber is a neat little
vessel on the stocks, which is being built
by Messrs. G. Olsen, B. Erickson, Sam.
Gunderson and Peter Larson, four prac-
teal ship builders, who, as they are put
ting nothing but the best white oak into
her, will produce as neat and staunch a
craft as was ever sent out of our harbor.
Her dimensions are Length of keel, 70
feet over all, IS feet breadth of beam,
ls..feet; depth of hold, 6 feet. She will
be launched and ready for sea immed-
lately upon the opening of navigation.
The next vessel in course of construc-
ton Is the one which Mr.. Albrecht has
purchased half of, and is rapidly nearing
completion. She is being built bv Mr..
Jasper Hanson, and of course will be a
splendid craft. Her dimensions are as
follows: Length of keel, l25 feet
breadth of beam. 264 feet; depth O
hold, 9 feet. This vessel, also, will b,
launched In the spring, and prove, W,
think. good representative of the Man
itowoc feet.
