time to time in any way referring to the existing
Cuban insurrection or the social question-that Of
slavery-serve to irritate and call forth from the
Didrf0 one Of its characteristic and petuant re-
plies. In which, while poOh-poohng the pretensi0n
that the HERALD is in any degree the exponent OF
the feelings of the government or the people Of the
United States upon the questions which SO deeply
interest Cuba, 1t clearly shows its apprehension
that such may be the and lily c0nceals its con-

WHAT THE INsULAR SCRIBE SAYS,
In the article referred to the Diario declares that
If IL believed such to be the case 1t would advise
bringing affairs to a crisis and o rupture between
the two countries; but matters stand the DiayiO
laughs and thinks 1t is better to be amused at the
HERALDs entertaining ideas. 1t also graciously
admits that the HERALD Is absolute master OF
entertaining just such opinions as it pleases and
would not even endeavor to prevent it from the
idea Of grasping at the moon to hang as lamp In
the Capitol at washington, but aggrlevedly adds
that courtesy as well prudence requires that 1t
should not daily annoy nation with the warning
that it might lose part Of its territory or with the
threat that there 10 lively propensity TO take 1t by
force. Such warnings the DiGriO thinks puerile
and sucn threats irritate il.
TO show how the last exploit OF the HERALD In
sending special commissioner to Cuba, rankles in
the wounded feelings Of the Dtario, and citing its

SECOND sPAsM, AND TENDENCY TO SHREK.
The Diari0 endeavors, as 1t says, to dispel the
ha!lucnatons OF The HERALD, and works itself into
q fever heat, breaking out again into the eight
hundred-year war threat. 1t says +

TRADE CONSIDERATIONS AMID THE TURMOIL.
The commercial point OF the question also
receives paragraph, and the idea that the United
States can obtain what they wish from Cuba by
the starvation process-that is, by imposing duties
upon tobacco sugar and syrups so high as to be
equivalent to prohibition, is also combated

AND STILL ANOTHER.
The Bdnderd Espa5sota OF Santiago de Cuba has
an article upon Mr.. Henderson, decryng the i'm
portance Of his mission and opining that he has
not fully executed 1t IL 1t his intention to study
the true character OF the insurrectOn, its imp0r.

and at the same time the means which Spain pos
sesses to combat it, That it was the general opin.
ion that the HERALD's envoy would not be so i'm
partial as one should be charged with such deli
cate task. founded on the evident predspOsition
against the Spanish cause; but as what Mr.. Hender
son has stated so far is just the same rs saying
nothing, such fears cannot yet be justified. The
Bandevu sums up his mission as fOllows:-

PRESENT RELIEF
The Didrio In this mornings issue notices Mr..
Henderson's departure, but seems desirous OF
giving the impression that Mr.. Henderson and
Agramonte had had difference OF opinion, Agra.
monte telling Henderson that his dispatches stated
only three insurgents to have been killed at the
.viamones action, and, on Mr. Henderson's replying
ne had counted forty-one, that the Spaniards
must have mixed their dead with them. 70 this
Mr.. Henderson replied that the greater part OF
the killed were negroes, and the Spanish troops
had but few negroes among them. The Dfart0
also states that Aaramonte dissuaded Henderson
from seeking the President, and alleged the dim
Guilty OF crossing the river Cauto After remaining
three days In Agramonte's camp and sleeping two
nights on the ground, Henderson returned to
Puerto Principe and thence to Santiago de Cuba,
leaving this place for 81. Thomas, Unexpectedly,
and giving q semi-dramatic close to his mission.
The foregoing information has undoubtedly been
furnished by Ensign Emano Aguero, Mr.. Hender-
sons interpreter, who arrived here last Friday.
But, In q conversation with your correspondent,
Ensign Aguero stated that Mr, Henderson informed
