CUBA.-Since the capture Of Mama
milo by the patriots of Cuba, and the ac-
QUESTION by them of large quantities OF
arms and munitions of war, the cause OF
free Cuba has assumed far more eneour-
aging aspect. The weak have been strength
ened and the strong made more certain
and formidable in their movements. and
actions. Hitherto the Cubans have been
shut out from communication with the
outer world. They could not obtain either
arms, powder or ball to supply the men
who were anxious TO fight under the flag Of
free Cuba. Every week detachments Of
patriots had to be dismissed from active
service because they could not be armed
This kept the army of patriots in a cramped
condition, and enabled the Royalists 10
overbcar them in the field. If arms can
be supplied there will be over two hundred
thousand Cubans under the fag in few
months, and that will eud the contest
Spain Is now called upon to send morc
troops to Cuba That cannot well be done.
The Carlists are pressing the government;
in the north Of Spain. All the available
troops Of that country will be needed t.
put down that movement, and therefore
Spain cannot continue to pour men into
Cuba. When that supply is stopped, and
larger amount put into the hands of tho
Cubans, the result cannot be u matter Of
doubt. Assistance for Cuba is ready.
The only point is to make it practicable
to get men, money and arms to the right
point. That We conceive can now be done
at least to great extent, and hence thu
Frightening of the cause of the patriots Of
Cuba.

The London Economics contains the fol-
lowing particulars Of the financial eonven.
ton between France and Germany in
regard 70 Indemnity payments, which have
an interest on this side ofshe Atlantic, as
the progress Of these payments may posi-
bly, affect us in the future:
On the 10Th ul,imo, France and Germany
concluded what will no dodbt be the final con-
ventlon in connection with the indemnity pay-
tnents. The exact text Of the convention as
to the dates Of the remaining payments IS as
follows; ARTICLE The sum OF three mil
lizards having been already paid Of the Ave
millards Of the war indemnity stipulated for
By Treaty Of Peace Of May 10, 1911, and only
u Of the last two milliards remaining 10 be
paid, France engages to pay between this and
the 10th Of May, 1873, the 500 million francs
cen, 700, 600 remaining ofthe fourth milliard;
and payable on the LIST Of March, 1874, aecor-
ding to article Of the convention Of June 20,
1871 The payments are not to be In smaller
sums than e4,0OO,O00 each, and notice is to
be given to the German government at least a
month before payment. The FIFTH milliard,
which is payable according to the above con
yention ON March |, 1876, will be paid by
France in four instalments, each amounting
to 1000, 600, on June 8, July 5, August s,
and September 5, 1878. On paying the last
instalment France win also pay the interest
due from March ?, 1871 The effect Of the
above convention is that France has $40. 00O,.
600 to pay before the middle Of May, and each
month after that il must pay fl0,O00,0O0 TO
Germany--in all E6O, 00O,O00 in little more
than hve months. So rapid payment quite
justiies, we think, some Of the alarm as 10
possible monetary disturbance which seems to
have been excited on the Continent, especial.
" when il is remembered that since last sum
mer France has paid to Germany $50, 100000
of principal and about e5,000,O0O more for
interest, making in all a transfer Of el25, 600,
600 within twelvemon,h, and that the en-
cashment of all the bills used in the payment
cannot yet have been completed by the Ger
man Government. 1t is, no doubt, true that
experience has been acquired in so arranging
the payments rs to disturb the money market
as little as possible, but the difficulty Of any
arrangements must bevery great, and justiies
a continuance Of some anxiety until settle
ment is finally made.
THE ADVANCE IN GoLD.-The New
York Express says the Herald has an Ella
borate leader on the causes Of the present
advance in the gold premium, the substance
of which is that, after all, clique combina-
tions in Wall street have less to do with
it than the natural laws Of trade; that we
are deeply in debt to foreign countries,
and gold is needed to adjust that indebted
ness; that the stock on hand is small, and
is daily growing less, while we are piling
up the importations as if pay days were
never to come. The srticlc concludes with
apprchensions of another commercial and
financial crisis, but the writer .prudcntly
refrains from telling us the particular time
for its commencement.

CONNECTICUT ELEcTIos.-The World
claims the result of the Connecticut elec-
tons as an out-and-out Democratic victo-
ry, and halls the fact as sure Fremont
ton of the advance of the party to national
power and prestige-adding, however:
But our path to victory will never lie in any
other direction than sraight Democratic
course, leaving honest Republicans to join us
when they can no longer stand their own par.
ty. We shall never sink into mere balance
of power party. Our success will come every
where, as ii has come in Connecticut, by re.
cruits, not by an alliance, The Christian
Church might as well make an alliance with
one sect Of the Mahometans, instead of bap-
thing them as converts.
