There is considerable opposition in the
New Dominion to the proposed plan Of ex-
cuding our fishermen from Canadian
waters. The Halifax Chronicle of the 18th
inst. referring to the new national policy
speaks as follows
The Americans, we are informed, are to
be kept outside the three mile limit, but
then there happens to be a serious differ
encc between English and American au-
thorities as to whether the three miles
are to be measured from the capes and
headlands, or follow the indentations Of
the shores. OF course, the spirited Cana
dians at Ottawa will adopt the former line,
and if the Americans dispute the interpre-
tation of the treaty of 1918, be prepared
to drive the foreigners off the ground
The Canadians are sure they can do il
with their ''six fast sailing schooners,' OF
they would never undertake the task. But
we have our doubts The Cabinet that
was nearly frightened out of the little wit
it ever had when Canada West was inya
ded by few half armed Fenians, and hao
not force enough to vindicate its authority
over Il handful of Red-river half-brecds, i,
not made of the sort of stuff to protect the
British American fishing grounds ant
drive off the Yankees.

THE CUBAN CAUSE.

Gen. j. Watson Webb has written a re-
markable letter to the New York Tribune
from Havana His report on the situation
is quite startling, and reveals a state OF
affairs anything but flattering to American
pride, while, at the same time, the full
extent of the rebellion and its present
strength are stated at much higher figures
than any heretofore received from that
quarter He asserts that our Government
and that of Spain are kept in profound
ignorance regarding affairs in Cuba. On
this point he is emphatic. He continues
II hazard nothing in saving that had
Gen. Grant and Hamilton Fish been per
mittedto know the whole truth, bclli@crcnt
rights would have been conceded to the
Cubans six months ago. in utter disregard
of the arrogant and oflicious threats OF
Spain to consider such n proceeding on
our part a caSus de1h.'
The volunteers, made up for the most
part of robbers, thieves, ,lai-birds and
criminals of every hue, virtually govern
the island. He says:
The crucltics perpetrated upon the Gu
bans actually exceed belief, and the cold
blooded murders pcrpetratcd daily on The
island, ana the indiscriminate butchcrics
perpetrated by both Spanish soldiers ane
Spanish Volunteers upon detcncclcss wo-
men and children, make ones blood boz
with Indignation ut the recital of them
To be a Cuban in the eyes OF the Spanlard;
is to be a traitor
In another place he states:
II am told. ON authority which canno
doubt, scenes of barbarity which occu
daily and every day are absolutely incrcd
ible, except by the people of this Island
Cubans are shot down and Killed, anC
whole families daily cXterninatcd. with
out even the pretencc of an excuse. Sol
diers passing along amuse themselves by
shooting all they meet; and the horrors
daily perpctratcd surpass belief. 1t Is cs'
timated that at least sc, 900 have thus been
slaughtered without arms in their hands.
But the most remarkable statement l.
that of the agent of the associated pres
at Havana, one "Adolph." made to the
General, in presence of other parties
Adolph is intimate with the family of the
Captain General. To General Webb ht
remarked:
Your people do not want to see the
Cuhans free know the fact that Il late
Maior-General in your army, now living
in the city of New York. has offered his
services to bring twenty-thousand soldiers
to this city and drive the Cubans from the
Island, If need be; and another Major
4, 1 IL IN
and now resides in Massachusetts, has
written to the Captain-General, offering to
bring down forty thousand men for the
same purpose
Adolph refused to mention the names Of
these doughty Generals, but assured his
listeners that he could vouch for the truth
of his statement 1t looks as though he
was quizzing, or rather stuiling. oul
shrewd diplomat.

The conclusion of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs in favor of declaring
neutrality between Spain and Cuba will
meet with general approval. We
have been slow to move in this matter
disuusting the strength of the insurgents,
but the continuance of the rebellion against
Spanish authority, and the willingness as
ii is now said of De Rodas to come to terms
with the rebels, is good proof that we have
underrated the spirit and force of the

MINE AGRICTL TURAL REPORT.

The Prarie Farmer, published at Chicago,
gives the Maine Agricultural Report for
1869 the following favorable notice.
This volume, like its predecessors, is
teeming with good things; for although
the Sunrise State is neither favored with a
superior climate nor naturally rich soil,
it has a State Board composed of working
members who do their best to help on the
great cause of agriculture. The present
and previous reports of the Maine Board of
Agriculture as contributions to the agricul
ural literature of the country, will most
favorably compare with any similar pub
lications that have been issued either at
home or abroad. The articles in the vol
ume before us are for the most part both
scientific and practical, and show that the
authors have critical knowledge of the
subjects treated, as well as a happy faculty
of imparting to others the facts they are
possessed of. We congratulate the farmers
of Maine on the eXcellency of this volume
and heartily wish that as valuable reports
We're issued in other States"

FEARFUL VENesAhcE OF HUSBAND,
A correspondent Of the New York
Times, writing from Havana, July 9th,
says:
Some time during the month Of May,
a party of FIVE robbers made their ap-
pearance at a plantation, possessed
themselves of several good horses, TAX
Jag also various articles of clothing be
longing 10 an American engineer on
the plantation, and then disappeared.
The engineer, who was in Havana at the
time, became furious on his return, and
INDUCED in severe threats against the
perpetrators of the roboeries. Some
friend of the bandits communicated
these threats to them, and a few days
later they again appeared, took the en-
gineer by surprise, tied him hand and
foot, and then proceeded 10 lash him
with whips and thongs until the man
had tainted three times from the loss Of
blood aud pain. They then tied him
up on a chair before his dwelling, and
two of the plumber walked into the
house and violated his wife. Since
then the engineer has been almost a
maniac and bent on revenge. Last Fri>
day he received Information that the two
bandits were then at a neig hboring plan
tstion, and without advising anybody Of
bis intentions be armed himself and mad
the good fortune to find both of them
lying on the floor in an inebriated con-
dition. To tie them up and rouse them
efficiently to understand the situation,
occupied but little time, and with the
help of some negroes he brought them
to his own place, ordered fires to be lit,
and then threw both of them into big
sugar kettles filled with water, which
soon began to boil. The men lived
fifteen to twenty minutes after the water
began TO boil. Their attempts to throw
themselves out of the kettles and their
demands for water and cries for pity,
were heart reading, but their execution
er took fiendish delight in throwing in
occasionally little cool water, which,
however, in a moment began to boil
again. At the end of twenty-five min
utes both had ceased to exist. When |
the fact was mentioned TO the Captain
General, he remarked: :" don't wish |
to know it, and if such thing has hap |
pened, | fully approve of it as q man,
but as Captain General, | have SO far
no knowledge of the matter. Beasts in |
human shape must be treated us beasts, |

SOME UNDISCOVERED MURDEREgs-
The New York Tribune, in commenting
npon the mysterious murder Of Mr.. Ma.
than, mentions the following cases OF
murder which have never been account
ed for:
II is a strange affair; but we can re-
member many crimes equally mysterious
grimes whose perpetrators never have
been discovered, aud probably never
will be. The Rogers murder is still
fresh in our recollection. In that case
a man was killed in broad daylight, in
the open street, only few steps from
Broadway, and the assassin left traces
by which it might be supposed there
would be little difficulty in finding him.
Yet he never was traced, aud the crime
will probably never be punished by man e.
The Burdell murder is case Of the same
sort. There were six or seven persons
in the house when that man was killed =,
and after all these years the mystery is
still unsolved. About the close of the
gear 1866, young girl was murdered
under very strange circumstances 10
New Orleans. She bore gnod charac
ter, and, AS far as anybody knew, never
bad an enemy. 1t was evident from
foot prints that the murderer was wO-
man she had climbed a high feoce,
entered the house by second-story
window, and beaten the girl TO death
with fiat iron. Members Of the family
slept in the next room, but heard no
noise, and the criminal never was dis
covered. Five years ago two little chill
dren, brother aud sister, named Joyce,
were murdered in the woods near Rox
bury, Mass. 1t has never been found
out who killed them. Some years ago,
young Mr.. Embury of New York, gen.
tleman well known and respected, was
murdered at Fisbkill, on his way to visit
his betrotbed. He was found dead by
the roadside with a bayone, wound in
the back, and his watch and money on
his person. He had no enemies, so far
as known: be was a gentleman of esti'
mable character and to this day bis
fate remains a mystery.
