prominent gentlemen Of this city organ,
lied into a society day or two ago, fol
the purpose of producing a stronger feel
ing among the Amsficans in behalf Of
Cuba. Gen. McMahon is among the
members.
Summers Opposition.
A correspondent of the World has inter-
viewed Senator Sumner and obtained his
views on the topic of the recognition
Of Cuban belligerency. The Senator is
strongly opposed to recognition as the
case now stands, and gives as one reason,
that it would instantly involve us in war
with Spain, and as a consequence
A Financial Crash
would ensue that would shake the pillars
of the Government to their very founda-
tons. Besides he is not sure as to which
would come out first best in the event of
a contest between the United States and
Spain.

mental GObbIcf.
Mr.. Sumn,r believes, however, that
both Cuba and Canada will be peaceably
annexed to the Union within ten years, and
that We shall also absorb Mexico, the West
Indies and the whole Of the North Ameri-
can continent. We have the moral right
not only to this continent, but to the whole
Of this hemisphere, and shall acquire both.

cabinet was no longer a parliamentary
ministry, but belonged to the Court.
