LONDON. Dec. 80. 1871.
The London times in Its review OF the year 1871
dev0tes considerable space to comment on President
Grants Message 10 Congress.
The inference Is drawn therefrom that the neu-
trality which the United States mas so far MAIN
tained with regard to Cuban AFFAIRS may soon be ex-
changed for more active policy.
To this the London Times finds no objection, and
even goes so far as to declare 1t 'best that Cuba
should be separated from SPAIN"
The Times makes also forecast OF political pros
poets in America, and comes to the conclusion that
General Grant Will certainly be reelected to the
Presidency.
Great satisfaction Is shown at the victory won BY
the voters OF New York city over their corrupt
officials and the hope Is expressed that ''al VINO
