We questions between the two countries. The
/ exact points OF this official paper cannot be
ascettalned, but may be inferred from the
! views Cl the President, which form the
basis OF the instructions to Minister
| Cushing, aud which show that the President
regards the civil dISSetssions IN Cuba, and es-
gec!slig the sangGInary bostilities, as pro-
du cling effects in the United States second in
gravity only to those which they produce In

If course as the only Ger, ain and even the
neceSs 4ry solution OF the questiO l OF Caba,
aud ia his mind all Incidental questions are
qu te subordinate 10 these, tn larger objects
OF the United States in this respect. The
President Goes not mediate or desire the au-
neXatiUn of CubR to the United States but its
elevation into an ipdspendnnt republic of
freethen, In harmcnv with the United States
and WIFI CtheI republics OF the world. lhe
policy of the United States in reference TO
cuba at the present time is declared to be
one of expectancy, but with aepostve and
h&Dd conviction as to the duty Of the United
States when the time or emergency for action
Slall arrive. The new sloOpS o. war Alert,
Alliance, Essex, Ranger, Adams, Trenton,
Huron and Enterprise. Will soon be ready
for sea, and Iuost CT them Will be In Sc vice
before fhe end OF the year. Ihe Trenton is
~ only one not launched, but 1t Is thought
she will be by the fifteenth of december. The
Alert is already ia commission, and the Ali
ance, now at Philadelphia, VIII soon be put
in commission. The Ranger viii, in a few
days, ,sgo 20 Philadelphia TO get her outfit. The
Adams and the Essex, at Boston. the Enter
prise at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and
the Huron st Norfdlk, are rapidly being pre-
pared Tor sea- and their officers will be soon
ordered aboard. II is thought the Alert will
be ordered 10 the East Indies TO Join our
ordersd d to join the north Atlantic fleet as
fist as they are put in commission, and as
vessels are needed abroad they will be or
dered from the north Atlantic TO foreign sta
tiOns. 1t is the policy of the secre taTy of the
nsVy TO Ecep large number of vessels in the
rOrth Atlantic fleet so as TO relieve vessels
aurCad from this station when necessary. The
" orcester, az present flagship of that station,
being very old, will be ordered to Norfolk as
the receiving snip in place OF the New Hamp-
SHIRE, which vessel Will be sent to Port Royal,
South Caroline, as & ster. ship for the North
Atlantic fleet. The Hartford, which recently
returned home from the ASiatic squadron,
viii be the ne Y flagship of tue station. Dur
ing the trou Oles growing out Of the capture of
the NirginiuS by the Spanish man -o1-war Tor
nado, our government suffered great incon
venieuce on account of the very weak con1i-
tiOn of our navy, but since then the depart
ment has been doing all ia lLs power with the
limited means at It's disposal to put the navy
in good condition, so that we may be ready
for any emergency: The iron clads Mantauk,
Man Lattap, Saugus, Mabapsc, Nantucket,
Ajax, Canonieus, CatskilI, J sson, Dictator and
Others are in sea-going condition, and should
occasion require they could be put IL service
in five daVS.
