General SickIes's successor-P0llcy
t0Tarts spain.

WAsHNGroS, December 30.--The appoint
ment Of General Cushing to be the success
cor of General Sickics as Minister to Spain
continues to excite comment concerning the
character of the instructions he will receive
from the Department of State after the con-
frmation of the nomination by the Senate.
Although usage is opposed to an open de-
claration Of the line of diplomacy to be pur-
sued, it can be stated with truth that one Of
the subjects to which Mr. Cushing viii give
his attention will be the policy Of political
and administrative reforms in Cuba as the
best means calculated TO restore peace to
that island aud promote It's prosperity; ana
among these reforms is included the aboii-
ton of slavery in tie Antilles. These views
have repeatedly been enforced both in the
Presidents annual messages and the official
correspondence of Secretary Fish, and
which have been often communicated to the
Spanish Cabinet.

The yirsiiius Survivors Released.

New YORK, December 30.-The sur
vivors of the Cuban massacre have
been enlarged. The crew of the Yer
mont cheered them as they passed. They
were met on shore by several Cuban
leaders and taken to quarters. The only
southerner among the list of survivors Is
Philip MetZer, q cigar-maker, of Charleston,
:. G.. The survivors number one huudlpd
and one, including one Englishman, one
Canadian, eight Americans, ten Jamaiclns,
twenty-nine Havaucsc. The average age of
the survivors Is aboIt twenty-five. A few
are sick, but are we'll cared for.
Engineer Knight, OF the Firginitls, said
the original sentence was that the entire
crew should be hung at the yard.arm, but
the CAPTAIN of the Isabel II Catolicl did not
wish such a spectacle made of his vessel, and
obtained change to death by shooting and
the communication of seventeen of the crew
| to the chaiD-~ang. Knight, two of tho quar-
termasters. and one Of the oilers were ac'
cordinely sentenced to the chain-sang tor
| life, and the other thirteen, all OF Whom
| were mere boys, TO eight and four years q
hard labor IN the ch1in-gang. n litc-senteuct
OF this kind was regarded rs Worsc thar
death.
| Thirty-liyc of the rescued men are still il
charge of the Cuban Junta here.
| The released cop:iYcs still remain at th'

enthusiasm. Resolutions were adopted re

The Toz de Cuba and Diario declare that
the Conservatives favor The grant Of extra.
ordinary powers as the only way 10 saye
Cuba to Spain, and that the only way 10 saYe
Cuba TO Spain is to declare martial lazy
throughout the island, TO levy forced contri-
buttons, and to call out the militia to sup.
press the rebellion.
The Tos de Cuba, alluding to the change
in the American legation ut Madrid. says
the original appointment, of Sickles was an
act of discourtesy, il not hostility, towards
Spain, and showed singular want Of con-
sideralion for her susceptibili,ies. Mr.
Gushing is the antithesis, and the Change
made cannot be regarded otherwise than az
4 graceful tender of good viii on the part OF
the Government Of the United States.
The Colonial Minister has made speech
at Matapzls, in which he sought to allay the
fears in regard to the immediate abolition Of
slavery. His remarks give much satisfae.
