40 iar4A rai'9 HAVANA, Jan: I, 1874
It Ia the custom in Havana for the daily journals
to give each fortnight review OF the leading DO
litical and commercial events for the past two
weeks with view towards the departure Of the
Spanish mail steamers, which regularly sail on the
10th and s0th Of each month, and ct such times 1t
has Of late years occurred that the s,

are written more with an eye to their eject In
Spain and to the interests of the dominant OIL
garchy here than to any strict regard for truth

political situation. Uf such . character was q
recent numper Of the Eco Dc CUBA, Q sman sheet
largely circulated in Spain. The Mowers Of rhetoric
which abounded in this number-in which the
question Of the virglnius, resistance to orders
from Spain, to demands from the United States,

ing topics-were at the time duly translated and
forwarded to the HERALD.

IN echo OF the sentiments of q largo part Of the
Spanish "unconditionalsn residing In Cuba-re-

peats the arguments already 10 often advanced in
behalf Of spaniards in Cuba, and again demands
that the viruinlus shall be given up
to Spain, with the surviving prisoners
on board and taken to Santiago de Cuba, and there
turned over with the formality and ceremony
requisite to soothe the wounded feelings OF Spanish
