ATTEMPTS TO CAUSE EXCITEMENT ABOUT
CUBA-OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN
WAR NOT IMMINENT.

washington correspondence NY. Herald, 18th.
An attempt is making here to create an excite.
ment about Cuba, but without much warrant.
There is no doubt that this Government will lose
40 time Or opportunity TO present its claims to
the new government in Spain, and to urge them.
Nor is it necessary that Mr.. Gushing shall await
a formal recognition before bringing our injuries
to the notice Of the Spanish Ministry. It is pro-
bable, also, that he has instructions to act in
firm manner and to require speedy and definite
answer; but there is no present danger Of hasty
action either on our part or that of Spain.
The political Importance Of the, Cuban agita-
ton lies in the belief that the PRESIDENT regards
the Spanish question as one Of the trump cards
in his hand, which he will play whenever he may
be hard pressed. This the Cuban bondholders
and Adventures generally understand, and they
are naturally anxious for a war with Spain, but
the Secretary OF the Treasury and the Committee
Of Ways and Means would have something to say
on this matter. There is no doubt in the minds
Of navy officers here that We could capture Cuba
in three four weeks, and this, of course, would
be the first result Of war with Spain; but the
annexation Of the island would deprive us of
about $50, 600 900 Of gold revenue which loss the
Treasury could hardly bear at present.

WHO ABE THE MARTYRS.

In his accompanying document" Sheridan
says two negroes made their escape from here to
New Orleans, ''secreted in cotton cargo"
The great warrior either cut this out Of whole
cloth or the two negroes have imposed upon his
stupidity, wishing to secure a government ap.
pointment at the custom-house because of then
prosecutions in indicating 'the cause No enc
here has heard of any attempt being made to ar
rest any negroes because Of the false afidavits
we suggested that they should be tried on the
charge of fperjury. Unless Sheridan sdreamed
this as well as many of his other statements,
possibly two of the perjured rascals whe made
these afidavits did go to New Orleans to play
martyr and thereby win Office.

found it necessary to secrete themselves in q

cup in a Balloon"

Mr.. u. S. Thomas, press agent of
Barnum's Hippodreme, arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon from the
Hipprodome grounds. This is the
second voyage that Mr.. Thomas has
made alone. He made the first in
Chicago, in the unexpected absence of
Professor Donaldson, whose arrival was
hoped for up to the last moment. In
the face of the terrible anxiety regard
ing that daring and experienced aero
naut, the ascension required conside-
rable nerve on the part OF the compar-
atively inexperienced press agent, and
it is source OF congratulatlon that
the voyage was made without accident.
The balloon was made of Lonsdale
cambria, the material with which bal
looms are now almost universally con-
structod and contained q 900 cubic feet
of gas. "Barnum No. A." as it was
called, rose easily and at once TO dis
lance of 4,700 feet. Floating in a
southeasterly direction, it crossed the
river little above Carondelet, landing
In Illinois mile east of the river.
Finding that there was still plenty of
gas in the balloon, Mr. Thomas made
another ascension, rising to 1900 feet,
from which he descended at point
near Belleville. As the power of the
aerial voyage was still unexhausted, a
thirG ascension was made This time
the balloon rose to much greater
hei ght than on either of the previous
occasions The air became intensely
cold in the upper currents, and so
chilled the oil used in the working of
the valves that they could not be ope-
rated. The balloon stayed up about
two hours, and finally landed about g
o'clock near Hazel creek, seven miles
east of Bellevilie, in the midst of a
negro settlement The colored inhab-
itants were very much frightened at
the appearance of the monster" as
they first, called it, and could not be
persuaded to come near Mr.. Thomas,
whom they regarded as an cratic visi-
tant from the moon or some other
planet. 1t required considerable talk
ing on the part of the dress agent to
convince them of his humanity, and
that his intentions were entirely peace
fnl. By the kindness of MIR. Adam
Weber, of Belleville township, Mr..
Thomas was made comfortable during
the night, and came over to St. Louis
on the early morning train. The Sci
entific instruments used in the balloon
were furnished by Messrs. Aloe, the
optician.

An Unknown Monster Of the Sea.

The fishing smack Sylvan Glen,
Keeney, master, captured monster
animal resembling turtle off Mon
tauk point and brought it into the har-
Dor. The animal is seven feet long
and two feet through. Unlike the or.
binary turtle, this animal has no feet,
but large fins projecting on either side
which measure eight feet and six inches
across. The head is unquestionably
that of turtle, but is crowded " it'll
teeth which are of an elastic texture.
The animal is incapable Of drawing in
its head. Its neck is about foot long.
The back is jet black, and ridges
run horizontally at equal distances
apart. Its shell is not thick, and re-
sembles gutta percha, and one could
get perch on the back and have a
good ride, provided the animal was
alive, as it was few days ago. It is
estimated that it weighed from 500 to
1000 pounds. Old sea captains who
have traversed the seas for life shook
their heads and declared they had
never seen its like before In the
evening it was put on exhibition at
the Peqaot House, aud will soon be
preserved for the benefit Of science. -

MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE.

AT the present time in Utah Ter
r1tory an examination is being made
INTO the horrible massacre seventeen
years ago of an emigrant train en-
route from Missouri to California,
about 800 miles beyond Salt Lake
City, in valley known as ssMoun-
tain Meadows" The Mormon peo-
pie have always been under suspic-
ion as the perpetrators of the terri
hle crime, whereby about one hum
dred men, women and children, be-
seiged for several days, finally in
duced by stratagem to surrender,
were then brutally massacred. 1t is
said that Mormon bishops in the
vicinity of the massacre stated that
they had received a command from
the Mormon capital, s.to follow and
attack the accursed Gentiles and let
the arrows of the Almighty drink
their blood" The fendish order
was carried out, none being spared
except some young children, sup
posed to be too young to retain in
after years any recollection of the
savagery by which they were de-
spoiled of their natural protectors.
Some time after the butchery sspious
hands erected stone over the place
where the bodies were buried" and
inscribed upon it the following:
9 IeMseancezs mine; 70zH repay,
sazfA tie Lord"
But nothing IS truer than that
murder will out, and it at last be-
gins to look as if the actors in this
terrible drama now living, would be
brought to justice and punished as
