New YoHK, Dec. 3O.-- The stormy

A Herald special from Washington
says that II is believed that the different
European Governments have expressed
themselves satisfied with the attitude OF
the President on the Cuban question,
and are ready To lend the support oi
their moral influence with Spain To
press upon her tho necessity OF iniine.
diately, or as soon ~ possible, restoring
peace In Cuba. The Spanish property
owners on the island are weary
of the heavy burdens, and are
now ready 10 assist the new Cap
tain General In measures looking
toward thorough reform In the Admin
istration, and u pacification OF the
troubles. There Is at present no reason
to apprchend any difficulties with
Spain. There was time previous 10
the publication Of the Presidents mes.
sage when some apprehension was felt
that Spain would suddenly take offense
at the tone Of that document. and It
WAS thought proper to bring tho fleet
into condition for any emergency. For
tho present the prospect Of Ii peaceablc
settlement Of our difficulties with Spain
and Of her renewed energy In the pacifl-
ctltion Of Cuba IL SO good that unless an

probability OF hostilities or the necessi
ty Of Intervention.
The Herald editorially condemns the
policy Of this Government In sending to
all European Powers the circular re
lating to Cuba. II contends that Aus.
tria. Russia and italy have no interest
in the affairs Of the Western Continent.
This diplomatic act deserves. an en-
phatic condemnation. IL violates the
honored and cherished traditions Of the
Republic In relation 70 foreign affairs.
Il comedies the right OF European na-
tions To voice In question purely
American, and flies In the face OF the
Monroe doctrine, which has been for half
a century more closely interviewer with
the national sentiment than any other
principle connected with foreign re-
lations. But two nations beside the
United States have any substantial in
tcrest In affairs Of Cuba. These are
England aud Mexico. II these gov.
ernments alone had beenconsulted and
an understanding arrived at, Gen.
Grants administration would not have
exposed itself TO the damaging criticism
with which IL claims for indefcnsible
maneuevre.
The Herald says President Grant has
two great historical traditions,
the ineligibility OF a President for a
third term, and avoidance OF entangling
foreign alliances, and In sending this
to all the courts OF Europe, he
never made greater mistake In all his
life.
A special from Nashville says; A
terrific tornado passed twelve miles cast

sweeping down whole forests in its path
way. The force Of the wind was so
great that persons can now walk on

death under ruins Of houses. A negro
was killed outright at another point.
A man named Chucks and lady Miss
Seary were killed. Her sister was badly
crippled. The hotel at Rulefoot Lake
was blown down, the guests barely es-
,aping; some were badly bruised by

eft their trace along the entire track Of
he tornado hich made a noise heard
or miles.
