Tine vessels of the navy have been so much
reduced in number that it has been found
somewhat difficult to reinforce our squadron
in cases OF emergency, but in the course of a
few days all that can be made available will
be sent to Cuban waters, in accordance with
the determination of the cabinet meeting
yesterday. The Secretary of the navy was
to day in consultation with different bureau
officers on the subject of preparing vessels
for sea. The government seems to be more
earnest than heretofore in protecting the
waters between the United States ard Cuba
the great highway of all nations, from Span
ish molestations. The Madrid government
being unable to enforce its authority in Cuba
that of the L. S. will be compelled to assert
its power in all cases where the interests of
citizens of this country and its own honor
require decisive action. The President and
all the members of his Cabinet are in accord
90 the subject. 1t is not at present believed
in official quarters that the contest in Cuba
has at any time assumed conditions which
amount to war in the sense of international
law, or which would show the existence of a
defect political organization of insurge nts
sufficient to Justify a recognition of beliger-
ency, but, as President Grant said in one OF
his annual messages, that the principle is
maintained that this nation is its own judge

We have been informed by good authority
that 400 men will be discharged from the
Bodwell granite quarries either to-day or to-
morrow. The information came from Mr..
Brainard, the superintendent, who was in this

SO many men is the trouble in obtaining
money to carry on several great works for
which the company had contracted to furnish
granite, among them the great East River

The Biddeford Journal says that there
seems to be no doubt but that the horse and
carriage of Robert w. Lord, which was sto-
| len on the 18th inst, at Kennebunk, was
| taken by the notorious Jack Hale, as this Gel
ebrated horse thief was in town on that day.
The team was left near the Unitarian church
in the village at 40 p. NJ, and at 7.30 was
gone. Trace was afterwards found of his
going up over the plains and through Sanford.
In the latter town he called up Mr.. Luther
Day to inquire the way, and at his request
Mr.. ID. got into the carriage aad rode a short
| distance to show him which road to take
where several intersected, and having a Ian
tern with him had good opportunity to see
the man and the team. Hale was making his
way towards New Hampshire. The horse
and carriage have not been recovered and
probably never will be, as it is SAID that none
stolen by him ever have been. Hale is SO
years old and has passed AZ years of his life
| in State prisons, has never been known to
steal anything but horses, carriages and har
nesses, for which he seems to have perfect
mania. Last winter he was placed in the In
| sane Hospital at Augusta, as being insane,
but was discharged therefrom as sane per-
| son.
