Cuba.

The late recent trouble concerning
the capture of the steamer Yifginius
near the Jamaica coast has attached
a peculiar interest to the Island OF
Cuba, and a few words may not be
out of place. The Island lies at the
entrance to the Gulf of Mexico less
than a days sail from Florida, and
contains about forty-two thousand
square miles, or a little more than
the State of Ohio. 1t has a popula-
ton of over two millions, one half of
them whites. the others being either
free negroes or slaves. Cuba has al
ways been in the possession of Spain.
but has been the coveted of all ma
tons.
In 1852 Havana, the capital, was
captured by a British armament, but
was restored the following year.
During the present age, the Island
has been an object of cupidity to ad-
venturers, bands OF flibusters, etc.
In 1850 and 1851 it was twice at
tackled by individual Americans un-
der a Spaniard named Lopez, without
ccess Lopez was taken prisoner
and executed. In 1868 the present
iusurrection broke out. A declara-
ton of independence was issued,
setting forth their grounds of indie
pendence as the tyranny of Spain,
exclusion of Cubans from Office, re
strictions on public instruction, a
standing army, supported by grind
ing exactions from the people, etc.
This insure ction has continued un-
til the present with varying fortunes,
and no rules of warfare.
There are on the Island nearly two
millions of acres under cultivation.
Upwards of 500 900 tons of sugar
and molasses, valued at S55,000;000.
are exported to the United States an

Senator Merton OH Spanish Bru-
tally and the Cuban Ques-
ton.
In a conversation Senator Morton
remarked that the recent executions
in Cubs were in perfect accord with
the history of the Spanish people
for the last five centuries. "The
name of SPAIN" said he, sis written
in letters of blood wherever the foot
of the Castilian has trod. In the
early wars IN the Netherlands whole
cities. men, women and children,
were put to the sword by the Spanish
invaders. In Mexico aud South
America the intolerable inhumanity
of the Spanish rulers drove a harm
less and unwarlike people into a state
of desperation, which set the whole
power of Spain at defiance and grad
ually led to the crumbling away of.
fdSG empIre on tlte mhIutaDU OF
America. When Columbus and his
followers first planted the standard
of Spain upon the beautiful and fer
tile islands of the Antilles, there
was a native population of at least
several millions Santo Domingo, the
Hrst occupied, having at least a mill

had assumed dominion, the
native race had completely melted
The Senator, continuing his
remarks, said that the Government of
was 0 a Republic, committed
to emancipation. The ruling classes
of Cuba have from the beginning OPP
posed these human measures. Cas-
telar, at the head of the Spanish
minority, is in accord with the United
States Government on this subject,
which has greatly embittered the
in the island, especially in
minds of the descendants of the
Did Cavalier class, who are deeply
welded to monarchy and other insti
buttons. In his opinion the affairs
Of the island seem to be gravitat
-ng toward an arrangement, if not a
separation, from the mother Govern
nent, A crisis has evidently arrived,
md there is every prospect of the

relations. Much depends upon

SO far distant, and enter

'ral policy of the present Govern

EscobedO on the Rio Grande,

The San Antonio Express says informa.
ton has been received at army headquar-
ters. in that city, to the effect that General
Escobedo. with the fourth division Of the
Mexican army. had been ordered to the Rio
Grande. This may not be significant at the
glance. but we can not help believing that
when Escobedo brings his big foppy ears
up to the front, it means more than sur.
veillance over border cattle thieves. Gen.
eral Escobedo's hatred of Americans is
proverbial. He is the man who. during the
war of Juarez against Macmillan. stated
that he had but one American in his com.
mand, and that was one too many. Later,
when our government instructed Minister
Campbell to ;ntercede with the Mexican
authorities for the life of the Austrian, he
is reported to have made speech in which
he characterized the act as one of much
presumption. and proposed himself to cross
his command over the Rio Grande, take the
colored men Of the South into his army and
move on Washington, where he supposed
the Yankees would have as much as they
could do to take care of their own lives,
let alone begging for the lives OF his pris-
oners at Querataro.
