CmRRRING CuRAN NE,Ys.

The news from Cuba for the past month
or 30 has been VI tho most encouraging
character, proving beyond q question that
the Insurgents are making great headway
with their cause. About ten days ago news
came that the Spanish General Partillo had
been made prisoner that desertions from
the Spanish ranks were rapidly increasing,
and that two important positions had been
abandoned, and now we receive q dispatch
connrmatory Of the report that ManEanillo,
fortified city aud seaport, only second In
Importance TO Santiago dc Cuba, (thc chief
seaport Of the Eastern DEPARTMENT. has
fallen into the hands Of the patriots. By
what can be gathered from the different dis
patches concerning this victory that have
30 far reached the United States II seems
that ManZanlllO had been In a state
of semi-slegc foE more than month
before Its capture, and that the capture was
made through information furnished the In
surgents by escaped patriots that Its garrison
was TO be largely drawn upon for field service.
When the Spanish troops had marched some
distance iuto the interior they were met and
defeated by the patriots, who pushed on TO
Manzanillo, besieged IL, aud, according 10
the dispatch now received, compelled It's sur
render. A large amount of booty and war
munitions through this victory have fallen
into the handS Of the Cuban forces.
Equally as good news Is that which tells US
that Captain General Ceballos has telegraphed
TO Madrid that the presence Of large body
Of troops In Havana Is rendered imperatiyely
necessary by acknowledgement out
break among the spaniards.
By all odds this budget Of news Is the best
that has yet reached US, and we hope 1t may
be found correct, though intelligence from
Cuba Is generally SO mixed and sPasmodic In
character that we can only express this hope.

THE KuIyAN CAMPAIGN.

Our dispatches yesterday morning an
nounced that the Russian columns would
take the field against the Khlyans on the 5th
instant, so that II may be safely assumed that
the armies OF the Gar are now In motion.
The results likely TO how from this event are,
In all probability, destined TO be the most i'm
portant that will occur In the latter bali Of this
century. The success Of the expedition, Of
which there can be no doubt, will bring Rus
sla almost face 10 face with Great Britain In
India, and that being accomplished the strug-
gle for supremacy between tho two countries
win Inevitably begin within the present do
cAde. To properly understand the present
situation Il Is necessary TO go back some ton
or eleven years.
In 1888 the region lying south Of the Arl
sea, known as Independent Tartary," wa
independent In fact rs well as In name. Il
was composed OF three KhanAtes-khiya,
kholsnd and Bokhara. The extreme Russian
posts almost bordered upon Khoiand In the
east and Khiya In the west; but no deter
mined effort had up TO that time been made
10 bring either province within the Russian
dominion. In 1885, however, tho Russian
forces were marched into Kholand, took pos
session Of Its principal city and formed . pro-
ylsional government. Having established
this foothold, the Russians pushed forward
their columns into Bokhara and after
a short campaign dictated terms Of
peace. An idea Of the mAgnitude
Of these conquests, made within The
short space Of hyo years may be obtained
when II Is stated that they added nearly -four
hundred thousand square miles to the Rus
sian territory, aud brought them 10 within
less than Ave hundred miles Of tho Indian
frontier. Khiya, tho last barrier between
the Russians and tho English, alone remained
unsubdued. In the alleged cruel treatment
Of Russian captives BY the khivans, tho Rus
slsn commander soon found q prete1t for
offensive movements against that power,
aud hence the present eamPaign-thc result
Of which Is, As we said, not matter OF doubt
khiva viii, Of course, have to yield, a.
Kholand aud Bokhara bave yielded, and
then Russia aud England confront each other
ou the borders Of British India.
Russia Is almost the only country In
Europe with steady policy Of territorial
nggrandlEement, Ever since the days Of
Catherine sho has steadily laborUd TO extend
her domain aud add 10 her acquisitions. 1t
Is true that Prussia, In the late war with
France, fought for the Rhine boundary and
the Capitalization of the German power, but
tho struggle for Alsaee and Lorraine, and the
ambitious plans Of Kaiser William and Bis
marck, sink into insigniaeaneo when com.
pared with tho magnificent programme Of
kussla, Italy has made gallant struggle
for Rome, but the struggle Is more poetic
lhnn practical one England during the !

VIZ HAyE Just ruu across a news itom which
affords an evidence Of an Improvement In thr
character Of Carl schurE. II tells us that he
quietly left his increase pay 10 bo covered into
the Treasury. This is not at all like Mr..
schurE, although he Is givou 10 doing thing
on the quiet. In the nrst and second Lincoln
campaigns and In the frst Grant campaign
Mr.. schurz quietly pocketcd stated amounts
for boasting Of bis devotion to the party.
During the last campaign be was quietly
called up to settle deacit Of several hundred
dollars In his accounts as Minister 10 Portu,
Sal, aud now-oan we believe our senscs--h,
quietly returns money which be might as vel

The cLs..peaLs ssa oSi. Canal.

The long and severe winter, that seemed 80
10th 10 leave, having RELAXED its hard hand even
npon the stil waters OF the canal u Is again re-
sumlng its functions, and win, We should sup
pose, unusually good prospects for ana bust
ness year, Having passed through tho strike
epidemic successfully, and nnaiiy u may be
hoped active navigation Is at hand, bringing 10
market all the produce Of the region through
which it passes. Grain, nour, lumber, timber,
bark lime, constitute some Of the articles trans
ported, while much the largest and most I'M
portant trade arises from the transportation Of
mat unexcelled quality Of bitumlnous coal,
which has Of late years commended Itself 10 the
commerce Of many lands bende our own. The
people Of the adlacent States Of Maryland and
virginiA, as wen a. In the District, are inter
ested In the prosperous condition VI this work,
and it behooves Us all TO sec that nothing Is done
which may permanently thwart the objects for
which It was nrst created, and thus far, through
evil and good report, innexibly maintained.
A public canal Is like common road, for any and
all that may choose 10 use H. whilst great rail-
roads, though Indispensable, lack the element Of
common interest," for the reason that they are
owned by aud worked for single company.
We hardly think II can be long before decided
improvements will be made On canal navigation.
steam will undoubtedly be introduced and bo-
come general, whereby this method Of transporS
tAtlon will then Approximate nearer 10 the ra-
pidity and promptitude which may be predicted
Of railroads.
There ought, however, TO be NO ungensrous
rivalry between these different methods Of con.
Yeyance; let each pursue It's own coune without
meddllng oT interference with the other; neither
need fear the fullest employment It, facilities
