IT is RUMoRED in New York among
those who profess to be well informed with
regard to affairs in Cuba, that Spain is
about to acknowledge the independence
of that island, England having successful
ly labored to that end. The report is to
be received with q good many grains of
allowance. 1t is true that indirect efforts
have from time to time been made to obtaina
pacific solution of the struggle /; nor is it
unlikely that Great Britain would be
willing to lend her efforts toward the
establishment Of Cuban independence, up
on a basis of free trade. 1t is not very
probable, however, that the Madrid Cabi-
net would at present be likely to enter
tain the proposition, to say nothing OF
the fact that our Minister to Spain would
in oil probability be one of the earliest
informed, were such negotiations really
afoot. a.

SPEAKER BLAINE made a short work
of the last Stevenson imputation as he did
of the Credit Mobilier charge. In that case
he proved conclusively that he never held
any stock-that when it was offered him
he refused to take it. In this case he
proved that the Iowa railroad in which he
did hold stock, was never in any way an
applicant for or a recipient Of Congressional
aid, and that the investment was as fair
and honorable in all respects as any man
ever made. 1t was even shown that Ste
venson didn't make his inquiries until after
he had offered his resolution, being dis.
posed to condemn first and hear afterwards.
The Speakers triumph was as swift and
complete as i'll the other assault, and in
both even his ad~yersaries pronounce his
vindication perfect.
