THE WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND CUBA.
The London Times remarks that
'' the kings government is only re-
peating the part already played by
Prim, SerranO and their colleagues
during the interregnum. King Anna
deus declared in full council that he
only wished he was allowed to sail for
Cuba, in order himself to conduct the
war. 1t is the very wish expressed by
Prim two years before. Yet, with all
this, there is no doubt that wise Span
iards only long to be rid of Cuba on
any terms. Marshal Prim openly
avOWed his conviction that the loss
of Cuba was for Spain only a question
of time. There is no DOUBT, also, that
the offers of agents who proposed to
negotiate q sale of Cuba to the United
States were secretly listened to by that
cOol-headed soldier and statesman.
Both Sagasta and Gorilla were at that
time in Prim's cabinet. PRINTS for
mer colleagues-Sagasta, Gorilla, To-
pete, SerranO and Others-are at this
very moment contending for the high
places in the kings cabinet; and we
publish to-day the result of a ministe-
rial crisis, which has followed close
upon other crises, and which will GER
tainly be followed by new crises al
most from month to month. That the
first article in the progra nme of every
cabinet will be Cuba must not be
lost we have no doubt; yet it seems
incredible that no patriotic minister
should ever rise to proclaim that Cuba
is being lost day by day. The Spanish
will deserve well of his
country who suggests that since, as
Prim acknowledged, the loss of the
island is only a question of time, it
would be good policy to take time by
the fOrelOck and put an end on any
terms, and by any means, to a strug-
gle which, while it destroys Cuba, ut
terly exhausts SPAIN"
MAGNITUDE OF THE SPANISH AND
CUBAN CONTEST.
The Cuban commissioners in this
country, Messrs. Aguilera and
Cespedes, have very oppOrtunely com.
piled q pamphlet, entithe "NOtes about
which appears to US eXhaus-
tive Of all matters relative to the past,
present and prospective condition OF
in Cuba, and to the war
the patriots have been for
three years and still are wagjng. for
their independence. AS to the proba-
bility that slavery ia Cuba will never
be abolished while Spaniards remain
there, Wefully coincide with the asser-
lion of the Cuban commissioners.
The Spanish captain generals have
managed 10 foster the slave trade for
fifty years, in spite Of all the treaties
BY which the government has en-
gagged to suppress it. Spain could
not abolish slavery to-day if she
to, and she does not wish to
ioi it. The forces which Spain has
employed to suppress the revolution
'onclusively prove the magnitude Of
he contest in which she is engaged,
md the present condition Of the
patriots, after being Overmatched as
hey have been in a strife now Of over
.hree years duration, evinces a tena-
.ity and q herOism unsurpas-
ed in history. The f9cts cited
n the chapter entitled Spanish
Anarchy in Cuba'' are alone sufficient
o warrant the intervention of all ma
ions claiming to be civilized. The
American people are not entirely
for the very existence o. the
auses of the Outrages to humanity
which T of every day occurrence in
)ub8. Had Mr.. Fish known and
maintained the dignity Of his position
would have resented the 1Oncha-
with which Spain treated his
lrotests and remonstranees, and the
rutal volunteers, who have really
rOWn up under the shadow of his
wing, would long ago have been
owed into submission. The simple
uestion for the American people to
ecide is whether they are to continue
ctively assisting Spain in the eXter-
1ination Of the Cubans, for the sole
rime Of initiating our own example,
nder Infinitely more aggravation
han that from which our own ances-
Jrs rebelled, or whether their love of
iir play is paramount to party in
