CUBA-Gen. James Watson Webb writing to the
New York Tribune, favors the accordance of belger
ent rights to the Cubans and seems to think that if
President Grant and Secretary Fish had been permitted
to know the whole TRUTH they would have been ac-
corded six months ago He says the Cubans have from
1000 to 10000 well armed troops and as many more
carrying pixies, scythes etc. that 900 stand of
arms would find Cubans to carry them, and Havana
would fall in a fortnight. We do not believe one
word of the above but when Webb says that the cruel
ties practced by the Spanish soldiers and Spanish vol
uneers make ones blood boil with Indignation we be-
lieve him.

daily Chronicle, by carefully prepared ia
bic proves that the Central Pacific Railroad
charges two and half times more for ship
ping base bullion, per ton, to San Francisco,
per mile, than the Union Pacific and connect
ing lines does to Newark, New Jersey; and
that in consequence, the base bullion from
Nevada and Utah is going East instead of to
the reduction works at San Francisco. The
Chronicle asserts that the Union Pacific and
connecting lines carries ton Of this ore 2lOO
miles for S22, while the Central Pacific
charges SIS, for only 600 miles. The Chro'l-

his "Sink or Swim in satisfactory manner,

peculiar vein. Stephens gives us "An Even
ing with Catamount. Darling tells us
"Why our Wedding was Postponed" +" in his
most comcal maner and then there is Christ
mas story, full of humanity and goodness, and
three or four love stories which will bear pc
rusal half a dozen times, and "Lost and
Found is a regular California tale by new
aspirant for fame in the columns of Ballou.
In addition to this there are many articles
worth reading, in the shape of sketches,
poetry, etc, etc, and all for the sum of Is
cents per copy, or $3.50 per year. The
