OUR CUBAN coNsu1raEnEnA1.
MAJ j.-Gon. Aifrod Torbort, our Consu1-Genara
ut Havana, with q salary Of 10000, is ut Cape
May. He hae large poaoh-orcliards acrosa tho
bay in Delaware. and generally returns from
Cnba at this scason to superintond tho peach
gathering. Ho said to mo as follows:
spnfn has aone Of, 900 troops to Cuba to put
down the inHurroction. Not 5000 Of tho whole
number survive. She has sent also threo Cap
tAinB- -donoral since have boon on tho island,
and neither Of thom LAS boon suffered to stay.
In my judgment, tho innurroction will never bo
arrested, It has boon handled with horoism and
sacrifice by coHpodoB, Agramonto, Al1ncda and
others nnd tho Spanish population Of Cuba has
begun to mako hollow oyorturos to tho insur-
gonts. between tho two races, however, there
is hate and contempt; md tho talk Of ornaucipa-
tion in Cuba is aifoctntiou On both sfdos. Spain
has no credit III tho marots Of Europe, aud aho

would probably depart from tho Island. How
annexation is to como about, no cannot now See !;
but such cventa are moro apt to happen precipi-
