EUROPE.
England.

London, December 9. The Times editorial on
Grants message, referring to the part about Spain
and Cuba, says:
"lf Spain cannot suppress the Cuban rebels; if
the Island must be half ruined while she hold it !;
if she will not put end to that institution which
is the main source of disturbance, it would be
hard to expect the United States to let the work
Of devastation proceed unchecked merely out Of
regard to the nominal sovereignty of Spain.
Spain Is on trial. The limits Of her power to re-
store order will be the limits of her rights"
The Deutschland.
The Times says efforts will be made to save the
Deutschland. Both the Weser and channel pilots
were on board when the steamer went on the
rock. No definite explanation is given for her
deviation from her course except that thick
Snow storm prevailed
Eleven additional passengers were saved from
the Deutschland. 1t is probable some others are
saved, and not identified on account of confusion
Of names. The child of Anna Ginoelk died on
the steam tug after leaving the wreck. Altogeth-
er about 40 of the passengers and 80 Of the crew
are still unaccoun'ed for. The steamer will prob
ably become q total wreck.
With the latest information at hand it is esti-
mated that at least 6S persons (of whom 46 were
passengers) were drowned by the loss of steamer
Deutschland coroners inquest has been held
at Shcrness on the two bodies found in the quar-
termasters boat. The jury refused to adjourn fl
nay until the result Of the official inquiry (Which
is being held at Harwich) is known. In the mean
time, they have returned open verdict of death
from exposure, thus leaving the Harwich inquest
to fix the responsibility for the disaster.
The inquest at IIarwich opened yesterday. The
captain and other officers of the Deutschland were
examined, but nothing new elected. The in
quest was adjourned till Tuesday next.
Latest estimates of the loss by the Deutschland
