THE CUBAN srRUeGLE.-In the strait to which the
Spanish power IN Cuba has been forced by the stub
born resistance and new policy, or rather the new
energy Of the Cubaus. valmaseds has been obliged
to make forced loan. He had been promised twelve
thousand by the first of September. and ten thou

quired to send eighty thousand dollars Spain That
amount he had to raise and forward at once and so
calls upon the planters and merchants to advance the
amount, he appOrtioning to each his quota. We
suppose they all responded, as they well know that
be would not hesitate a moment to take it BY force,
should they refuse. Wherefore presume the money
was advanced and forwarded. But there may be more
doubts about the promised troops. The energy Of
the Cubans has made this extra effort a necessity.
They have adopted the policyof destruction of burn
ingplantatons in the possession of friends Of the
Home Government, and SO making the Island of no
value to Spain They can use the torch to more ad-
vantage than the Spanish troops can use their weap-
1t is desperate measure, but if continued it

test. Spain afford to send her troops by tens
Of thousands to Cuba very few of whom ever return
to Spain. the yellow fever and accidents, and the
arms of the rebels generally finishing them within
the term of their enlistment. Spain seems as bard
pushed for money as is Cuba If those twelve
thousand troops could be Cuba until eighty
thousand dollars should be forwarded from Havana
for equipping them her eIchequer must be very low
indeed. 1t will not pay to thus employ troops Cor
crushing the people Of Cuba, and continue the pro-
cess forever.-Ahd California.
LoSDoN, Aug. S.-The projected Spanish constitu
ton declares the State religion to be Roman Catholic
The nation is obliged itself to maintain its worship
and its minister's but nobody shall be molested on
Spanish territory for their religious opinions or in the
exercise Ofther respective wOrshps SO long the re-
spect due Christian morality is paid Nevertheless
other public demonstrations than those Of the State
ligion are prohibited. Cauovas del Castillo President
of the Constitutional Committee declares the meaning
Of this to be that Protestants may have churches with
open doors and celebrate worship inside, but there
must be manifestations in the streets. It is be-
lieved that the Cortes will be summoned to meet soon
when the proposed constitution will be submitted
thereto, consequently political agitation is
ing.

day in passing that if the lot could be purchased by
the Government, and all the buildings aud rubbish
removed, what elegant little park or square it
would make. Enclosed with an iron fence, and
planted with shrubbery and trees aud provided with
convenieu, seats what jolly little breathing place
il would be. And If statue OF Kamehameba the

man will lay down his life for his friend" But for
some reason the aforesaid public did not take stock
in him, and his audience was limited to two indi-

REASON OR lEsTIECT.-A gentleman OF this city
recently related TO US the following interesting in
cident A number OF MyAas were In the habit of
infestrg his poultry yard, and with that audacity
for which they are noted robbing the fowls of their
food. One day number of them overstepped the
bounds of prudence so far TO enter the henhouse
where four of them were captured, and as a warn.
ing to their companions their wings were clipped
and they were turned loose in the yard They
soon managed to get up on to the top Of an old
windmill standing in tue yard, where they remained
day after day. Our Informant began TO wonder
what they got to eat, aud after little watching
discovered that the other birds fed them regularly
everytimc the chickens fed, carrying pieces
of meat and kernels Of in their bills until the
disabled birds were satisfied This certainly looks
as if these birds actuated by feelings of charity
and benevoleuce We remember a story told Us
some time ago by resident OF Kauai which illus
trates fully the reasoning power possessed
by some varieties of birds. The subject Of 1t was
stray To- a variety Of hawk not often found away
from the island Of Hawaii, where II lives a secluded
life, not favorable, one would suppose to any devel.
opement Of intelligence. He was riding slowly along
a lonely road one afternoon with no company but
his horse and n small terrier who a rod or two
ahead, when he noticed a bird, which he at frsttook
for owl, circling round few feet above the dog
as If it had some designs upon him. Our friend
stopped his horse TO watch the proceedings. Pres
emily the bird seemed to be struck with new idea,
and flew off short distance TO heap OF stones from
which It selected about the size Of gooses egg,
and holding it fast in its foot it returned to the vi
cinity of the unconscious dog, and again lowered
over bis head, as If with the intention Of dropping
the stone upon him and killing him. After a min.
ute or two, however It seemed to come TO the con-
Clusion that the thing was mpmcticable, aud flying
laboriously back the heap of stones it carefully
deposited its burden aud left for parts unknown. If
this performance did not evince power TO reason
and calculate we should be happy to receive more
satisfactory explanation
