The London letter, printed on the third
naue of The TRIBUNE, describes the course OF
English public opinion in regard to the Bourbon
intrigue and shows that it was in favor OF q
conservative republic rather than q clerical
monarchy. 1t is much to be regretted that
few timid republicans have thrown away
Q, eat portion of the advantage afforded them
by circumstances, in conseDting Ito FIVE years
prolongation of MacMahOn's powers.
The belief in the efficacy of killing Ia not
yet weakened at the Casino Espahol, if we
may Judge from a dispatch from Havana.
They claim to have discovered conspiracy
in the district of Holguin, and propose to ex-
tirpate it by the prompt slaughter OF the
suspected parties. They are plllng up an
account against themselves which will be only
too faithfully remembered when the tables are
turned and the Cubans are lords of their soil.
II will then be our task to protect them from
the vengeance Of our prOteges.
About three hundred sailors made demon
stration,n as it would be called, against the
Shipping Law, on Saturday last, 1t Is very
| we'll understood that the sailor boarding house
keepers are unanimous in their opposition to
this statute :: it is also admitted that there Is
no community of interest between the sailors
and the boarding house men and this state
ment of the case seems to leave no doubt as
| To the real position of the sailors, whatever
thew may be induced to do by way OF public
| demonstration.
| Rhode Island business affairs occupy con-
| siderable space in the correspondence puo-
lished on the fourth page Of THE TRIBUNE.
| The statement Of the financial condition OF
| Hoyt. Sprague g. Co. shows balance or
% 32f. 252 in assets over total liabilities. The
state of trade in the Southern portion OF the
State is reported as being in a less dOnrishing
condition than that in Northern Rhode
Island. There are however, but few complete
stoppages among the mills, and the general
impression is that the worst is over.
Our Government evidently means to leave
| no doubt as to its purpose to exact prompt
fulfllnent of all promises from the Spanish
| Cabinet. Mr.. Fish has informed Admiral POLO
| that he must give assurances that the DEGREES
releasing the enlarged estates are In course
of execution, before Thanksgiving Day-so
| that the President may finish his message
before giving himself up to the Autumnal
! turkey. The President is evidently preparing
An energetic statement for the consideration OF
Congress. and relies upon the silence of Admiral
Polo to furnish him with some spicy con-
diments for the document,
The Vienna Exposition having offered ex-
ceptional advantages for estimating the prog
ress made during late years in the manufac-
ture of iron, Prof. William T. Blake has made
a special report for THE TRIBUNE on the sub
iect. The part which we publish to-day ia de-
voted to the Swedish, British, aud American
departments. 1t contains many interesting
particulars regarding the inventions which are
notwithstanding iron smelling, and promise to
reduce the cost Of that metal. 1t is satisfac-
tory to find that our iron resources were fairly
represented at Vienna and met with due re-
| cognition.
The inability of the Spanish Government to
deal with the Cuban question in way to
satisfy the demands of the United States is
shown in dispatch from Madrid, printed to-
day. 1t was rumOred that Captain General
Jovellar was to be removed on account of the
! Santiago affair, and the Colonial Club OF
Madrid immediately called at the Ministry
of War to protest against any such action.
A. Cabinet crisis was also supposed to be i'm
minent. When the population of Madrid, and
especially of Catalonia and Andalusia under
stand the real nature of our demands, the
| Ministry which entertains them cannot last an
hour.
| TRIBUNE correspondence from Prof. Marshs
"Yale College Expedition" brought the ac-
counts of that undertaking down to the srri-
! val of the party at Salt Lake City. letter
which we publish to-day continues the story
| to the date of their return. The great sue
cess which has attended these expeditions has
not been wanting during the present year, but
the exposure and hardship have been unusually
severe. The narrative of adventure In those
wild and distant regions is exceptionally in
teresting, and there is curious episode which
connects the faith of the Mormons with the
most recent discoveries in q manner to excite
| orthodox envy. Conducted from first to last
purely in the interest of science and at pri-
vate expense, these explorations reflect the
highest honor upon their protector; and the
return Of the party in good health and laden
with specimens, is subject for congratulstion
