Tho Cuban Situation.

There has been a desperate cffor'
made by stock brokers and holder.
of Cuban bonds to precipitate wal
with Spain, through the pressure O
public opinion, excited by bogus
and sensational dispatches manu-
featured in New York and sen,
broadcast over the land by the AS
ISOLATED Press. These dispatches
ostensibly contained advices from
Minister Sickles at Madrid, repre-
senting him as despairing of an
amicable adjustment Of our Difficult
ties with Spain, because Of the al
legged obs.inacy and hostile attitude
of the Madrid cabinet, with whom
he was reported to have broken off
friendly relations; representing,
also, that attempts had been made
to assassinate him, and other re-
ports of like character, flagrantly
disappearing the actual situation
Of affairs. There arc signs, how
ever, that the authors Of these false
reports have ovcr-reachcd them
selves. They were promptly con-
tIadicted by the State Department,
and the result is a reaction which
shows decided toning down of the
war spirit. The Spanish govern
ment is evidently disposed to meet
our demands in conciliating spirit.
Orders have already been issued by
the home government to Cuban Of
flcials to comply with the demand
of the United States relative to the
releasing of estates Of foreign citi-
zens in the island. The Minister
of Spain at Washington has also
been in private consultation with
Secretary Fish, with view OF ar
irving at basis Of amicablc settle
ment. The first thing to be deter
mined, is the nationality of the Vir-
ginius. This established, the path
to the solution of the whole contro-
versy will be comparatively easy.
If she is undoubtedly an American
vessel, and has not forfeited her
right to the protection of our flag,
there is reason to believe that Spain
will acccde to any reasonable de-
mand for reparation, without fur
Their delay. If on the other hand,
it is proved-as claimed by the
Spanish ministcr-that the Virgin.
Jus is owned by Cubans, and falsely
registered in the name of an Amer
lean citizen; that she has forfeited
this register, even if valid, by sub
sequcnt sale to other parties; that
she was engaged in an unlawful ex-
petition when captured, and that
she has during the past two years,
frequently sailed under flags of 9TH
err nations; if these allegations are
established, our government has but
little to do in the matter, except to
protest against the barbarous pun
ishment inflicted upon the persons
captured in her. This right to in
terfere in the interests and civiliza-
ton, we hold in common with 9TH
err nations.

IT is probable that Congress, at
an early period in the ensuing sess-
ion, will suspend for a period, or
materially modify, the bankrupt
law. The facility under it's provis-
ions with which a solvent party can
go into bankruptcy, on account of
temporary embarrassment, is not a
popular feature of the law.

The Democratic members Of Con-
gross already arrived at the Capitol,
are reported as fierce for war with
Spain. Which ever way events
turn these fellows expect to make
political capital out of the situation.
If the administration declares for
war, it will be charged with pre-
cipitation and the needless plung-
ing of the country into debt and con-
fusion. If, on the other hand, as
seems likely, it pursues cautious
and conservative course, seeking
the settlement Of the difficulty upon
peaceful and honorable terms, these

WE have heard for two months
about railroad companies reducing
the wages of their employees, from
ten to twenty per cent. The public
has been watching every day to see
something else which it hasn't seen
as yet. That is the order Of these
same railroad companies reducing
the salaries Of their officers and the
rates of freight and fare. That is
yet to follow, and if it don't, some
thirty or forty million people and a
good many State Legislatures will
be wanting to know the reason why.
