Cuba.

There is a significant lull in the Spanish
military operations against the Cuban insur-
gents Once more the Havana authorities
find themselves compelled to stop the work
of slaughter from their inability to persevere.
Disease and Cuban bullets have swept away
the last reinforcements, and SO the military
operations are of necessity brought to a close
until such time as more food for powder can
be shipped from Spain. Valmaseda thinks
that with reinforcement Of twelve thousand
troops he can suppress the instruction.
The experience of six years of unsuccessful
warfare has shown clearly enough that these
promises have no significance whatever If the
twelve thousand men, for whose transporta-
ton to Cuba Valmaseda has taxed the Havana
merchants SO heavily should be sent out
they will merely serve to prolong the war.
They certainly will not end it. Fatigue and
disease will do their work on these thousands
as they did on former reinforcements.
During the past year the instruction has
grown TO an importance it never before at
tanned. All through the Eastern and Cen
trail departments the Spanish troops find
themselves obliged to keep close to their
Notifications, or if they show themselves
they must move in large bodies. On
the other hand, the Cubans have re-
covered their hold on the Villas,
and their raiding parties burn and
destroy, almost with impunity, the sugar
estates of Remedies, Cienfuegos and Sagua.
The result of this policy of applying the
torch will be the utter prostration of COM
merce. When Cuba ceases to yield large
revenue Spanish patriotism will not care to
make any great efforts to preserve the island
to the mother country. 1t is in this belief
that the insurgents pursue their policy of
destruction, and unless Valmaseda can speed
lily check the progress of the instruction
Spain had better abandon struggle that
has hitherto brought her only dishonor and
defeat.

THE VACANT SENATORIAL CHAIR.
NKNERY's CLAIMANT wITHDRAws FROM TIE con-
TEsT-MR. PINCHBAcK TO RENEW HIS CLAIMS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a new feature in relation
to the Louisiana Senatorship was developed to-day,
in the reading in the Senate of the letter from W. L.
Mcmillan, relinquishing his claim to seat in the
Senate, as having been elected by the McEnery Leg
islature of Louisiana, and his credentials signed by
Mr.. McEnery rs Governor. 1t is understood that
Senator Mcmillan does this rs part OF the Wheeler
compromise, SO that the present Legislature, which
is the result of the compromise may choose Sena-
tor, about the regularity of whose election
Republican Senate can raise question, they
having indorsed the Wheeler compromise
The legislature which Is to elect Sena-
tor Is SO closely divided that each party
claims majority on joint ballot. 1t is thought that
election will be had until the vacancies in the
lower House from the parishes of Grant and Onachita
are filled. These parishes are very certain to re-
turn Conservatives which will make the election of
Conservative United States Senator a certainty.
Mr.. Pinchback is still pushing his claims, but with
apparent progress. Mr.. Pinchback's friends say
that Gov. Kellogg does not want his case acted on
uutii after the Louisiana Legislature has adjourned,
.ghen, if the Senate rejects Pinchback, he Keilogg
can appoint man for the vacancy.
