Captain Fry's Letter.

1t is a matter of no common occurrence for
man in the full flush of health to be called
suddenly to take an eternal farewell of all that
his heart holds dearest. When this demand
is made and the circumstances are such
that the worlds attention is directed to it,
that world is apt to listen respectfully to
the words and watch the conduct of the
man, and feel for the moment the empt-
ness of life compared with the beauty of a
heroic death. Such q spectacle as this was
presented on the evening of November G.
The scene was the Bay of Cuba, over which
the moon peacefully shone. The locality
was the Spanish man-of-war La Tornado
The man was Captain Joseph Fry
and the transaction was letter which
Captain Fry was writing to his wife. There
are very few personages in this little tragedy
a man about to die, and his wife hundreds of
miles away, unconscious of his fate. The
scene is one of those paradoxes which Provi-
dence brings about, contrasting the beauty
and peacefulness of nature with the distortion
and agony of man. That letter has since been
published, and very touching it is. 1t will be
republshed wherever the English language is
understood, for it strikes one of the tenderest
chords in the harp of home affection. 1t is
full of that poetry which sometimes comes to
the most commonplace man or woman in the
sudden prospect of death. II is the purest
breathing of conjugal and parental affection,
at moment when all the dross subsidies from
earthly ya oSinp and tha hoo ri ia Iaff oIoo -,
pure upon the brink Of the grave. At that sad
hour, with all that is grand and sweet in life
fading away, and the amazement of the tomb
confronting him, Captain Fry COM
pressed his thoughts with simple
eloquence that is not always attained by a
practiced writer, even under the inspiration
of o sympathetic theme. He AYERS that the
anguish of his wife is his sole regret in dying,
mentions with a very pardonable pride the
proofs of respect and attachment he has re-
ceived, even from the president of the court
martial, expresses the satisfaction Of a gentle
man in having been recognized as one, COM
mends himself to the children whom he is
forever leaving adjures his wife to turn for
consolation to Him alone who permits this
fearful agony, bids her not dread death, for
that when it comes it will come as an angel OF
rest, and announces, with the dignity of man
whose face is damp with the breeze from the
unknown world, that he dies in the religion Of
his childhood. Wherever the story Of the
virginius outrage shall go the story of this
letter will go too. II is letter that many an
eye will weep to read, and that any man at
such an extremity might envy the power Of
being able to write.

SPAIN Is SKrLFUL AT DIPLOMATIC FRAUDS,
and it is doubtful if even the distinguished
CASTELAR, is not acting in accordance with the
spirit and practice of the nation. While ap-
peaiing for support in his efforts to establish
arepublic, and asking the forbearance of the
United States in the virgnius affair, is he not,
as Spaniard, first and above every thing
else, humbugging the government at Washing
toni All governments in Spain, the most
liberal, SO called, as well as the most despotic.
have pursued the same atrocious policy tow
ard Cuba. It is doubtful if CASTELAR, has the
will or the power to change that. There can
be no guarantee of peace with Spain in the
future, or Of avoiding continual difficulties
about Cuba, but through the independence Of
the island
The New York herald., 1873-12-07

There must be nc further delay for diplomatic
negotiations or through erroneous notions Of
expediency. It would not be creditable to the
American Republic if she were not prepared
at a short notice to deal with an island close
at her doors, whose authorities have been un-
able in five years to suppress rebellion such
as has existed in Cuba, and an effete nation,
already tied by the cords of civil war. Our
government appears at last to have become
convinced of the fact we have long insisted
upon-that CASTELAR, and his friends are
utterly powerless in Cuba and unable to
enforce their paper decrees. But the same
infatuation which led to q long diplomatic
correspondence, in the hope Of preserving
peace, now seems to drag us back and hold
our arms when war is inevitable. Why is our
administration thus palsied? Do the authori-
ties at Washington fear that we are not pre-
pared for hostilities? We must certainly be
in better condition for war than Spain or
Cuba can be, and if We are dallying with the
Spanish government for the purpose Of gain
ing time we must not forget that we are also
affording our enemies an opportunity to make
preparations to meet our attack. This policy
of hesitation is deplorable The blow we
have been driven to give should be dealt at
once. With as little delay as is required for
their transportation we should land twenty
five thousand men at Matanzas, holding that
port as our base of operations. The railroad
from Havana to Matanzas being in our pos
session, we should at once isolate the
former city, and our feet would do their
proper work outside its harbor. proclama-
ton of freedom to the slaves should be our
first act of possession. Our government
should place in the hands of the Cubans and
the colored population still held in seryitude
fifty thousand stands of arms, with sufficient
ammunition and should land on the eastern
part of the island such Cubans and volunteers
as may select to fight under the Cuban BAN
ner. strong colored force could be raised
in New York at once; men who would do
good service in the field and incite the rising
of their own race against the Spaniards in all
parts of the island. The President should
piaoe VIC la 11s oeioio OoHBlesS WitHouI ueihy,
and ask for power to protect with the army
and navy the lives and property of our cit
liens. The policy of diplomatic procrastination
for the sake of making preparations is fatal
error and may cost us many valuable lives. A
war has been cruelty and brutally forced upon
u.s. Let it be made short, sharp and decisive;
and while we deplore its necessity let us re-
member that its sacrifices will not be without
some recompense if it sweeps from existence
the last vestige Of human slavery.

PoLoN1us was famous Secretary Of State
in his time, though he was once taken for a
fshmonger and Mr. Fish's resemblance to
the garrulous, meddlesome and feeble old
man is marvellous In his diplomatizing
with Admiral Polo he was first able to agree
that the case of the Virginius was like
camel then that it was backed like weasel,
and, finally, he understands that it is very
like whale.

CUBAN HTALUTIN.- is an editor in
Cuba who says that if the Virgnius is given
up he will leave the island forever and he
clearly supposes that this is equivalent to
giving it up to desolation and ruin. In his
notion of his own Importance he somewhat
resembles General Grant editorial bull pup
in this city but we fancy that his readiness
to leave the island if the ship is given up will
be as nothing to his eagerness to get away if
she is not given up.

THE AaApILEs. Spanish iron-clad
which has been undergoing repairs at the
Brooklyn dry dock being at length ready for
sea, would have been off but for some unfore-
seen accidents that have resulted in her deten-
ton. For instance, on Friday last the flood
gates of the dock were out Of gear and could
not be made to work, and yesterday, as bad
luck would have it, at two o'clock in the
morning, barge laden with two hundred
tons OF coal sprung aleak and went down
right in front Of the gateway Of the dock, COM
pletely blocking the passage. We presume
tharthe barge was driited against the dock by
the tide; but We have not heard as yet that
any OF the sailors went down with the sinking
vessel

SLAVERY IN CUBA exists under and is main
tanned by Spanish authority. The Cuban
patriots have abolished it in their constitution
and as far as their power goes. by support
ing Spanish rule we rivet the fetters of the
slaves BY helping the patriots, even indi-
recty through recognizing them as belliger-
ents, this remnant of barbarism will be swept
away

ACTIVE PREPARATIONS are still the order of
the day, we are gratifed to report at our navy

will expect Secretaries Robson and Belknap

Mr. FISH has been weighed in his OWN
scales and is found wanting. The United
States Minister at Madrid ''doubted the sim
certy" of the Spaniards in the terms made
through Polo. He apparently knew the true
character Of the men with whom he was deal
ing and knew when the point was reached at
which fighting was imperatively necessary;
but poor old Fish insisted on little mora
gabble thinking the Spaniards could not pos
sibly resist his wonderful skill in negotiation.
and we hope he is proud of the result.

Leading Ladies and First Old Women.

Leading Ladies and First Old WOmens
Scarcely anything is more notorious than
the fastidiousness of actors and actresses who
have acquired some small reputation with
respect toEheir acceptability OF certain roles
which they may be called upon to perform.
A suit, which has just been determined in
favor of the defendant, and which was brought
by an English actress who season or two
ago had share in leading parts at our prin-
cipal comedy theatre, is an amusing and not
all uninstructive instance of this. The actress
affirmed that she had been engaged as leading
lady by the manager of theatre on East
Fourteenth street, but that some months after
the season began he wanted her to appear as
the Baroness in ''Frou-Frou." This she
Indignantly refused to do, alleging that
the role Of the Baroness was usually given 10
that member of stock company technically
designated as ''first old woman" The conse-
quence was that the actress ceased to be d
member OF the theatre in question, an6 the
injury done to her feelings and pocket resulted
in the suit we have just mentioned. Now,
there are a certain kind and degree of profess
sional pride which are to be respected. They
are those which render it impossible for an
actress ever to do anything but her best. In
the present instance the part of the Baroness
happens to be more than usually brilliant,
considering that it is not the most prominent
in the piece. 1t is full of sharp and sound
ing cynicisms, glittering verbal stings
and biting rejoinders, uttered by
woman of the first fashion, who givos
fascinating but dangerous advice to the
heroine In fact it is part which
even leading lady, with laurels fresh upon
her, need not by any means despse. And as
for the imagined loss of professional prestige
which the occasional assumption of such q
role is supposed to entail, that is the sheerest
nonsense, for which the vanity of the indi-
vidual, and not the conscience of the artist is
responsible. We have no admiration for so
mordant and acrid tenacity, and think that
the sooner such leading ladies as indulge in it
are reminded that certain ''frst old woman
roles are not too Insignificant for them the
better It is better to shine as o 'first old
woman" than to flicker as leading lady.
