THE CUBAN DIFFICULTY.

y semi-otlicial statement of the situation
of the correspondence between Secretary
Fish and the Spanish Government at Mad
rid discloses the fact that it was the prompt
and decided protest and demand submitted
by Minister Sickles that spared the lives of
the balance of the Nirginius crew. So de-
termined was the demand of the Govern
ment, and so vigorous was General Sickles
in urging action on the part of CASTELAR,,
that orders of so positive character were
forwarded to General Burriel that the bal.
ance of the condemned crew were spared.
The sensational dispatch about the insult
to Gen. Sickles was, we are glad to say,
greatly exaggerated. He has made him
self obnoxious to the Carlists by his zeal
for the Republic, and it was the enemies
of the CASTELAR, Government, who hoped to
embarrass it by their indignities to Gen.
Sickles. The latest word from Gen. Sickles
is that the Spanish Cabinet is "unG',in1Ous-
Is in fduor Of a satisfactory and honorable
settlement of the Nirginius difficulty, but
regard the maintenance of the integrity of
Spanish territory as essential
Our news this morning is decidedly of q
more pacific character. Congress will meet
with the public mind relieved of great eX-
element, unless some new and unexpected
developments occur,anl in temperament
to deal cautiously, but firmly with the
subject. The official correspondence be-
tween the two Governments will not be as
complete as could be wished for, owing to
the interruption of telegraphic communi-
cation between Havana and Santiago de
Cuba but enough will be developed to in
dictate the basis of final settlement, which
we think will be peaceful, but entirely
honorable to our country.

OUR TRADE WITH CUBA.

Pertinent to the present agitation on the
subject of the annexation of Cuba to the
United States, the following facts concern
ing the trade of the island, which we have
compiled from the latest data, will prove
of interest.
The population of Cuba, is about
one and half millions, large portion of
whom are Spaniards, who in case of annex
alton, would probably return to their
mother country.
The sugar product in 1865, was 49, 900
tons. In 1871, owing to the ravages of war
it had fallen to 547 900. About seventy
six per cent of this product is shipped to
this country, twelve per cent. goes to Great
Britain, six per cent. to Spain, and three to
France, Germany and northern Europe,
and the rest to other nations. In 1865, the
yield of molasses was $4,000 tons. We
take about 81 per cent. of this production,
UUder good government, the island could
easily be made TO yield 900 900 tons
of sugar and 100000 tons of molasses
The value of the sugar import
ed by US last year from this little
island was 800, 1851 With her resources
fully developed. the exports to other coun.
tries would reach about 800, 900 900 an
nually. In tobacco, we import from Cubs
about S9,OOO,0O0 every year 1t will thus
be seen that we consume every year of the
products OF that people fully SlO0, 900. 900
An equal amount, by proper management
could be exported abroad every year. How
would this effect our trade? In 1872, oul
imports were SG77, OOO,O 900, and export,
S544, 900, 900, in gold values. This leave:
the balance of trade almost continually
against US and drains US of our coin. But
if we conld save 500, 5000 in imports
and add the same amount to our exports
as it is claimed we could do with Cuba, II
would change the balance sheet to this
form exports, sG74, OOO, 600; imports, S544,.
100000, leaving the balance of trade IN oul
favor Sl3O.OOO,OOO.
Then the import duties levied by Gu.
ba on breadstutis for the United State.

THE editor of the Uniou and Amcricdn

thick with war paint, charging up and

blood and extra ratious of spirit,tS .trumentt
from the commissary department. He is
bathed in perspiration of patriotic rage
that war is not already declared. We are
certain from the editorials of his paper
that his office is good for at least squad of
quartermasters and commissaries when
ever called upon.

What General sherman Thinks of War

The special correspondence of the Bal
timore Sua, of the Goth, reports General
Sherman as follows
AS to the condition of the material of
the army, he said: The arsenals are well
stocked with arms of the most approved
patterns, the magazines are stored with
full supplies of ammunition for small
arms and artillery, the depots have abund-
ant quantities of clothing and accoutre-
ments, all in fine condition and available
at the shortest notice. He blieves that the
most effective way of raising such force as
would be necessary to an invasion of Cuba,
would be to increase the numerical force of
each company to the standard of 100 men.
There are at present twenty-five regiments
of infantry and fifteen regiments of cav
airy and artillery. With each company
numbering one hundred men, the army
would be increased to about $1,000 men, in
stead of about 10000 as at present.
Fighting in Cuba would be rather en-
barrassing and perpleXing, on account Of
the large numbers of the native Cubans,
who, there is the best reason to believe,
would be friendly toward the United
States, but who would not dare to openly
proclaim their sympathy, fearing that, al
ter a sufficient punishment had been adj
ministered to the Spanish officials, the
army of invasion might be withdrawn,
and they left to the tender merces of
their harsh rulers. The American soldier
is trained to fighting in section destitute of
roads and bridges. This can not be said
of European soldiers. He had no fear
that the iungles and Businesses of Cuba
would be any obstacle to the conquering
march of an American army. .. .....

II is very remarkable that some news
paper editors do not know that in the
Cuban affair the President must act under
the powers conferred upon him by the
Constitution and laws of Congress. The
act which defines his duties in the very
emergency now before him says he shall!
not do "acts amounting to war" He can
demand the release of the unexecuted
prisoners or reparation for those murder
ed. He can collect official information
upon the subject, but can take no decisive
warlike steps, even if he wanted to do so.
Many editors seem to forget them, and the
COUrier-Joundl very pertinently says:
What we need more than declaration
of war is a law requiring that every news
paper editor shall read the Constitution of
the United States before he is permitted to
write editorial articles.

THE November snow storm in the East
was unusually severe. The New York
Times says of it: ...
The snow and hail storm of Monday
night and yesterday was one of great Sc
verify and magnitude, spreading over a
wide area, and considerably impeding
traffic ofall kinds. Nearly all the steamers
of the night lines were from seven to eight
hours late on arriving in this city yestcr-
day morning, and reported very stormy
weather during their respective trips. The
railroads were more or less blocked by
snow, and traffic was impeded. 1t was not
found necessary, however, to put the snow
plows into use, and little inconvenience
was experienced beyond loss of time.
The storm played sad havoc with the tele-
graph lines, having blown down the poles
and injured the wires in all directions.
The wires to Canada and the North and
West were worked with great difficulty
The pilots of the different ferry-boats ex-
perienced great difficulty in conducting
their boats safely across the North and
East Rivers, so dangerous was the trip rem
dered by the violence of the gale.

Hon HORACE HARRISON, who has just

that he is inclined to think there will be a

demdation of the passen gers and crew,
and their hasty and brutal execution.

\ few weeks ago the Independent y
press were abusing Secretary Robson for
the heavy expenditures in the Navy, which
were denounced as useless. Now the same
papers are denouncing him as inefficient,
because he can not float, at days notice,
as formidable Navy as Great Britain OF
Spain. There would never be any doubt
as to the result if we once declared war.
We could soon have a navy that would
drive the Spanish fleet from Cuban waters

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The New York Times, of the 18th,
makes a cheerful report of the situatio
and says nothing but trouble in England
or war with Spain can check the rapid i'm
provement in the business prospects of the
country. 1t says:
The events of the past week in mercan-
tile and stock broking circles, indicate re-
covery from the effects of the panic. There
has been a strong and steady advance in
the prices upon the securities upon the
list of the Stock Exchange, and gain
in the greenback reserves of the banks.
The mercantile interests are in position,
because the banks can afford accommoda-
ton now, which they were compelled to
deny in the worst days of the panic.
Goods have deprecated in value, but the
failures which were expected in conse-
quence have not occurred. So far the fu-
ture seems bright, and only complications
which have been partially considered can
affect the probable prosperity.
The same encouraging report comes
from Philadelphia. The Ledger's money
article says money is plenty at six per
! cent. prime paper sells readily at twelve
the currency in the banks is increasing,
and 'moncy is accommodating at all the
large cities" The panic seems to be grad
ually passing away, and public confidence
| to be restored.

The conviction of Boss Tweed on some
two hundred counts of the formidable in
dictmcnt found against him has done more
to restore confidence in trial by jury than
any single event since the organization of
courts in New York State. With all his
powerful combinations, money aud means
for intimidating and influencing Jurors,
twelve men have convicted him of steal
ing on gigantic scale, and it is now al
most certain that for years he will occupy
a felon's cell. 1t is grand triumph for
juUtice. Tweed, a few years ago, was in fact
"boss" Of the city and State of New York.
No man in it ever had such power or used
it more corruptly. Now he is convicted
felon, and to suffer thief's punishment.
The example will be wholesome one.

GEN. SHERMAN, while in Europe, met
Emelio CASTELAR,, President of the Spanish
Republic, and speaks very highly of him.
He says:
CASTELAR, is an orator, scholar, and wri-
ter of acknowledged merit. His Tepubli-
can ideas were far in excess of what might
have been looked for in the United States,
much less in such country as that OF
Spain. Whatever might be the ability OF
Spain to make amends for the occurrence
which have taken place in Cuba, General
Sherman was confident of the sincerity OF
CASTELAR, in any professions he might make.

WEDNESDAY, ::;NovEMBER %, 1873.

THE fighting editor of the Chattanooga
Times, who was nearly always on the sick
list when there was any fighting to do in
the last war, proposes to DO his country
better service in the next one. He is op-
posed to war with Spain, principally it
would seem, because the Spanish navy has
more ships in it than ours.
