The Madrid People ON tho Cuban Qucs-
tiOn-What They Say and What They
Assert-Much Fight nd No Knuckling.
The Federdlisto, of Madrid one OF the most lib
eral and republican papers in Spain. has q sgnif-
cant article in its issue OF the 10th OF November,
extracts from which will be found below. The ar.
ticle is entitled
THE CARLISTS OF HAVANA.
To deny that the Carlists have great number
OF devoted friends in Cuba s to DENY what is clearly
demonstrated. Above all, they have q newspaper
In Havana-tne COnstdslcia.
But nobody in Havana Is ignorant Of the politi-
cal character OF the Coaastqrcta, and no one who
has read its columns can deny the Identity Of the
principles which it sustans with those Of the fac
ti0nsts of Navarro who laud 1t.
BY the side OF this fact others not less significant
must be placed. 1t has been customary with the
monarchy OF Amadeus as In the 10 badly counted

most violent manner Imaginable. not only the
sovereign Cortes themselves. OF this kind OF
writing, every one will remember q celebrated
series or articles published by the Dtarfo de Ia
Marina in 1871 and 1879. Fortunately with the
administration of Pieltain the monopoly Of criti-
cism and the impurity Of censure ceased, without

Above all we respect the sincerity OF the political

told by nearly all the papers OF Madrid, without
anyone at that time contradctng the news.
La Epoco Of Madrid publishes, IN its issue Of the
10th ult, collection OF opinions from other Span
ish newspapers upon the all-absorbing question OF
the complications growing out Of the capture OF
the virginius. La Epocd says:--
The government has received kilograms from the
Captain General OF Cuba stating that from the sth
when he got into communication with Santiago de
cuba, no other executions had taken place. The
Captain General received the order too late from
the Executive to suspend the executions until the
government should know the particulars OF the
trials; but the insurgents, az they knew OF
the capture OF the Virginius, cut the teegraphic
communication, so that they are principally re-
sponsible for the misf0rtunes OF their chiefs.
