The Committee on Decoration yester-
day proposed plans for a general deco
ration Of the Exposition Hall, somewhat
after the following: All the spaces un-
derneath the galleries'are appropriated
to the tables representing different ma
tiopalities. The whole OF the west end
OF the hall will be occupied by the tables
allotted to the United States. The back
ground beyond is to be made very at
tractive by the arrangement of shrub
berry, tropical plants, flowers, pines, &C.,
and at the extreme end, covering the
whole space across, a magnificent drop
curtain will be displayed, and painted
so as to give views of Eastern, Western
and Southern scenery.
1t stretches out the whole width Of the
hall, between the galleries, and is about
twenty-five feet in height. Directly in
front of the curtain, and mounted on a
pedestal covered with crimson cloth, and
embroidered with gold stars, stands the
Goddess of Liberty. A cluster OF beau
tiful flags with silver stars and gold
eagles surround the figure. Washing
ton in life-size will occupy position a
few feet below, his attention directed to
the Goddess Of Liberty. Over these two
figures large American eagle will be
suspended. At the east end OF the hall,
and directly opposite to the views just
described, the space will be completely
filed by the departments of China and
Japan. s4gs
Foreign countries will be represented
in the following order: France, England,
Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany,
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland,
Turkey and Persia. A number Of scrolls,
edged with gold and worked in fancy
letters, will be suspended just below the
drapery, giving the names OF the different
nations, SO that every visitor will see at
glance the countries represented. Four
Of the spaces In Main Hall will be de-
voted to the display of relics, such as
rare old china, old books and manu-
scripts, antique silks and laces, jewels,
etc. Over the galleries viii be displayed
continuous row of elegant flags Of all
nations, the stars and stripes alternat-
ing between every foreign flag. Below
these are suspended shields ornamented
with silver stars aud gold eagles. .ant
The General Decorating Committee
have also prepared the North Hall for a
refreshment room. There are sixty-tive
columns In this department, every one
OF which Will be covered with eyergreens
and ornamented with shields and flags.
At the extreme end OF the hail we un-
derstand the officers of the Newport Gar.
rison will prepared magnificent display
Of silk flags, war materials and other
decorations.

Tat Nashville (Tenn.) papers tell of a
young manin that city who was shot in
the head during the war, and who was
surprised the other day, while washing
ais face, at having the ball that pene-
1rated his skull ten years ago drop out
Of his mouth. Probably ii he had known
what the effect would be he'd have
washed his face several years ago.

THE PRosPECr CUBA.

There is now some ground OF hope for
the revolutionary Cubans. Captain Gen.
eral Valmaseda has pushed the war
against them with so much vigor that
the loyal planters and Shareholders feel
severely CALLED by his exactions, while
the progress of the republicans, SO far
from being checked, has been, of late,
very considerable.
The patriots have themselves adopted
vigorous measures, aud wherever the
country is not defended they lay waste
the great sugar monopolies and llberate
all the slaves they can reach. They
have relentlessly applied the torch in
the district of Sagua la Grande, Cien-
fuegos, Villa Clara, Remedies and Co.
Ion. There are some New York and
Philadelphia monopolists, working large
gangs of, slaves and producing large in
comes os,sweet wealth, who have become
convinced that the insurgents intend to
lay waste the whole Island.
OF course they Will do 80 if necessary
to their final triumph. These American
Cubans have brought their influence to
bear upon Secretary Fish, to induce
him to propose to Spain compromise
with the revolutionists. Instead of los
ing their slaves, they wish to save them
by agreeing upon system of gradual
emancipation.
1t seems that those same Cuban-Amer-
lean monopolists have been heretofore
the power behind the throne that has
prevented any sort OF recognition of the
rebellion by our Government. The os-
tensible reason, however, has been our
sympathy with the Republicans of Spain.
The crowning Of King Alfonso removed
that objection.
General Valmaseda has been COM
PEELED to make frequent exactions up on
the planters and bankers to support his
army. A few days ago he levied g. 900, ,0o0
upon bank, but found it very difficult
to get any part OF it to portion OF his
army which had received no pay for ten
months. The resources of the planters
are considerable.
C-APOAbS w uhO ShheSN peouSS
amounted to ST., 400. .S96 in 1878, while the
imports from this country were but $15
z31, ,039-leaving an immense balance III
their favor. The Captain General has
imposed an additional export tax Oh
sugar and tobacco whenever pressed fol
money. 1t 10 evident that the planters
could furnish ''material aid" for an in
deipite prosecution of the war, ant
would do so did they not greatly tcal
losing all by the continued progress o
the patriots.
II is supposed that they would very
soon come to terms with the insurgents
and accept a President and an indie
pendent republic II the abolition ques.
tkon could be compromised. They prize
their plantations and fat incomes above
kings or presidents.
The Cubans struck their first blow fol
liberty October 10, 1868. They have
vaged six years of hard warfare. and II
In not likely that they will throw down
their arms until the full benefits of their
hard struggle shall be secured to them
snd their class at the expense OF the
smonopolists.
