The WAR IN CUDA.-Yalmaseda' chances
OF suppressing the Cuban instruction are
evidently as small as were his predecessors.
Notwithstanding the extent of his prepara-
tons months have passed by and as yet the
Cuban raiders have not even been driven
across the trocha. Whenever any war news
leaks out it shows that the rebels are active
and enterprising and more than match for
their adversares. Valmaseda's return to
Havana is virtual confession of defeat
And yet we believe that if the instruction
could be suppressed he is just the man to ac-
complish it but it cannot. Under these cir
cumstances it would be sound policy on the
part of Spain to make peace with the Cubans
and retire. Why cannot Valmaseda make
terms with the insurgents and put an end to
the war? 1t would be some atonement for
the crimes he has committed against hui
mainly in his efforts to secure Spanish power
in the ever Faithful Isle"

and the United States Courts

saSSihs.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 6.-The MUIR
der of Willis Russell in Owen county
last week is creating very great excite
ment. The Courier Journal of to-mor-
row will announce that it has the gov
eruOr's assurance that the whole power
Of the State is at the service Of the law
to capture and punish the asssssins, and
that the law will be pushed to the utter
most. The assassination of Russell is
generally believed to have been done by
parties interested in getting him out Of
the way as witness against various
parties now under conviction by the
United States court for interferir with a
Federal official in the exercise Of mis- duty
in that county. Out of this case there has
also grown much excitement in the
past two or three days. Four men from
Owen county were convicted in the
United States court for the Offense
named. Sentence was suspended by
Judge EmmOns, and the prisoners have
since remained in Jefferson county jail.
Last Friday their counsel obtained q
writ of h06eGS corpus from Judge Nina
mara, circuit judge for Owen county,
directing Ambrose Camp, jailer in charge
Of the prisoners, to bring them before
him at OwentOn. Camp, upon advice of.
counsel, decided not to obey the writ,
on the ground that he had nOTight or au-
thority to Go so, and went up to Owenton
yesterday to return this answer.
A special to the COurier-JOltT7lul to-
night says that Judge M'Namara adj
judged this answer as insufficient, fined
Camp four thousand dollars for con-
tempt, and ordered him to bring the
prisoners to 6wenton next Friday. Dis
trict-Attorney Wharton and United
States Marshal Murray will refuse to al
low the prisoners to leave the jail here,
ard will resist any attempt to remove
by force, if necessary, but it is under
stood upon very credible authority that
Governor Leslie will not sustain Nina
mara's action in the matter. The issue
of the question is looked to with the
greatest interest.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 6.-Delegates
to the Democratic State convention,
which meets tomorrow, are arriving to-
night. Ii looks now ss If the nominee
Cor governor will be Eugene NJ. Wilson,
Of Minneapolis, instead Of Fisher, whose
friends are less confident than formerly.
Wilson ran against VIM. 5. King for
congress last year and had considerable
strong backing.
A fire occurred at New Ulm last night,
supposed to have been caused by nre.
crackers. The Union House, belonging
to VIM. Gross, with nearly 81 its con-
tents, wss burned down; loss beirg ex-
elusive Of furniture, between six and
seven thousand dollars Three horses
were also burned.
AT Minneapolis, last night the Galaxy
Touring mills, containing twelve run Of
stone, were burned. Loss OF Messrs.
Ankeny, the owners, is about one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
the walls being uninjured.
William Trudner, night-watchman in
Stanwitz 4 Shober's Touring mill at
Minneapolis, was caught by his clothing
in the gearing of the mill and crushed
to death. The body was terribly man
gled when it was found next morning,
being hardly distinguishable.

New York Tribune.l
None but the sufferers themselv IS will
ever know how complete was the disas-
ter which mas overwhelmed the fertile
borders of the AdOur and Garonne.
When We read of losses that amount in
Toulouse and Agen alone to twenty-fOur
million dollars, we know that there is
beside this a sum Of human misery that,
if it were reckOned by signs and tears
and sorrows, would beggar imagination,
if not arithmetic. For the valley of the
Garonne-a space of twenty thousand
square miles-has been the home of
large population for at least twenty GEN.
turtles, and Toulouse was a seat of
civilization in the empire Of the
