Cuban. Independence.

~ H 81 --".M --.
For the last twenty months, the
Cuban patriots have been putting
forth death-like struggle, under the
lead Of Gen. Jordon, for independ-
ence from Spanish rule and tyranny.
All the power of Spain, with her his
torical cruelty, characteristic of "Pu-
pic faith" has been brought to bear
upon the insurgents to crush out the
rebellion. The contest, so far, has
been held in even balance, neither
party gaining any signal advantage.
The lovers of liberty, and the enc
mics of ~monarchical tyranny in the
United States, have been anxious
spectators of the struggle, and many a
prayer has been offered up that sue
cess mayGcrown the gallant effort now
be ng made by the oppressed Cubans
TO obtain their liberties

The Messageaof President Grant,
on the Cuban question, has produced
a rupture in his Cabinet. Attorney
General Hoar, and perhaps three 9TH
er members of his cabinet, will retire.
Whether Caleb Gushing, or some 9TH
er paid attorney of the Spanish minis
ter, as has been alleged, wrote the
message, that document has been pro
ductive of some good at least. No
doubt the President now regrets that
he let his fishing excursion in Penn

der of signing the message. That doc
ument is a disgrace to the civilization
of the age.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

June 10, lSIU.
The compromise ON the Cuban
question which was brought forward
BY the Administration on yesterday
triumphed in the House to day by a
majority of seventeen. 1t ends the
whole matter for this session, and,
while it goes so far as to recognize
the existence of war in Cuba, it STU
diously avoids all reference indirectly
t belligerent rights for the Cubans,
and in this respect is the cause of
great disappointment to the friends OF
Cuba. The resolution, as passed by
the House, authorizes the President
to demonstrate against the barbarous
manner in which the war in Cuba has
been conducted, and. il he shall deem
it expedient, to solicit the cooperation
Of other governments in such measures
as he may deem necessary to secure
from both contsnding parties an OBJ
servance of the laws of wal recognized
by all civilized nations. The propo-
sition to amend the neutrality laws so
as to give both parties the same ad-
vantages of intercourse and trade with
the United States, so that the Cubans
could get arms and gunboats, &c,
was lost by "a to 100, all the Demo-
Gratis voting for it. 1t Is thought that
the Senate will do nothing ON the
question.
