HAVANA, Nov. 16.-The message of Presi-
dent Grant is generally discussed without ex-
element by the people, who do not attach
much importance to the illusions to Spain
and Cuba. The authorities give no signs of
their opinion, but the Journals have lengthy
editorials which, while they are not considered
to reflect the sentiments Of the people in gen
eral, may suit the views of the parties they
represent
The Ios de Cuba says the silence observed
on Spanish affairs by the German Emperor in |
his speech to the Reichstag is amply compen- |
stated for in President Grants message. It is |
noticeable coincidence, it observes, that |
while the United States aspires to supremacy
IN America, and Germany to supremacy in
Europe, both are anxious to intermeddle with
the internal affairs of Spain.
Aside from desire Of these nations to have
peace In Spain, her affairs cannot interest
them SO much as ourselves, and we must
view their efforts with suspicion. Russia i'm.
posed silence IN Germany. We do not know
who will make Grant silent
AS for the instruction here. on the STRENGTH
and duration of which, the President laws
stress, it is less powerful now than it was at
the beginning, and its endurance fails to give
t any significance
we doubt IT any power will interfere in
spanish affairs, at least in Cuba, but should
hey attempt Intervention we are prepared to I
epel it.
The Diario, in an article moderate in tone
avs: There is nothing in the message to
ause alarm to the most timid. The present ,
cnoiilon OF affairs is not to be compared t
Nth that of last year.
There has been some excitement in the 4
old market over reports about the message.
which We attribute the rise of 8 per cent in
remium.
Referring to the military situation. the
'idrio declares affairs have improved in the
.astern Department.; while they show no
mango since the autumn of 1873 in the Cen
al department, owing to the continuous rain
nd many thousands Of sick in the army.
AS for the rebels, only about a dozen If al

le larger majority of whom are negroes and

The D'ario concludes: "Foreign nations h.
