CUBA.-The latest war news from Cuba
is of inactivity on the part of the Spanish
and of continued and almost undiSputed
raids on plantations by the rebels In fact,
since Captain-G General Valmase,la made
his forced loan of $500, 900 to pay the ex-
penses of the $1,000 troops, soon to be sent
to Cuba from Spain, there has been no
movement on the part of the Spanish army
in Cuba. Havana is full of Spanish officers
and it is rumored that they have congre-
gated there for the purpose of receiving a
portion of the forced loan for back-pay, As
neither officers or soldiers have been paid
anything for the past five months. Mean
while, Gen. Ampudia says that unless 5000
well-mOunted men are given to him for
the defence Of Puerto Principe he will not
be able to hold the place two months Ion
ger He acknowledges the activity Of the
rebels in attacking his foraging parties
and says that both the troops and citizens

PRESCRIPTION FOR FIsrULA. - In

was incurable, he offered her for $50.
He stated tho case to me, and I gave
him my remedy, which, on being ap.
piled, perfectly cured her, and he
would not sell her now for several
hundred dollars. The first thing in

The Compromise.

So far, nothing eau be said to de-
tract from the wisdom displayed by
those Conservatives who supported
and carried through the award offer
ell by MI. Wheeler. On the contrary,
their action is being each day more
and more applandsd, and We venture
to assert that within tho year the
most bitter opponents Of this COM
promise will be its firm and unyield-
ing defenders. The defeat Of Mr..
Wiltz for Speaker Of the House by
Mr.. Estilette, may b. safely placed
upon tho ground that Mr.. Wilt was
au extreme apti.compromise man !;
vehement in his opposition to any
adjustment, aud consequently did
not represent the views and opinions
Of the majority Of tho Conservative
members, when Mr.. Estiletts did,
hence the choice OF tie latter gen
tlemen.
We should remember ono thing,
that We are now striving to do good
for Louisiana, and as We are unable
to DO SO as a party, patriotism de-
manls that We should make consist
ent concessions to the Republican
members Of the Senate who really IA
vor reform, and are willing to lend
their aid to good legislation. Mr..
Est;lltte, undoubtedly by his cleo.
ton as Speaker, would relieve those
persons Of any apprehension, should
it exist, of our intention to enter into
political legislation, and our latest
adyices slow that the appointment of
committees by the Speaker, and his
action Throughout has met with the ap.
prevail Of the entire body of Conser-
vatives, and they now present a solid
front On all questions Of reform. This
removes any apprehension Of a divis-
ion Of our people.
Taking the matter all in all, We
think our people have much cause to
congratulate themselves I upon, at
least quiet season Of repose, and a
hope Of future good Legislation 70,
our State.

declared elected by the returning
board, in place Of Martin Cochcran,
Floyd and Richard, republicans, who
were seated in tho Hahn House, af-
ter the withdrawal of Speaker Wilt
and his followers, in January. The
conservatives contend that all con-
sorvatives returned by the returning
board, were under the award, to be
seated, while tho republicans contend
that these four men were not to be
disturbed. Marshal Packard stated
to-day that it tue four republicans
were Oustel Le had instructed his
men in the Senate to adjourn for
three days, and if at the end Of that
time they were not reseated, the
Senate will adjourn size die. The
seating of Delhommer, VOORHEES,,

will give conservative majority on

the republicans did not and would not
agree to any arrangement which
would deprive them of q majority on
