dispatches:
Washington. October 1.-The di.-
custom of the Spanish Cabinets reply
| to what is called in late Madrid tele-
gram " The Washington Note has ref
erencs to the unsettled question between
the two countries. The exact points of
this official paper cannot be sscertained,
but it may be inferred from the views Of
the President. which form the basis of
Instructions to Mr.. Gushing, and which
show that the President regards the civil
dissension in Cuba, and especially the
sanguinary hostilities. as producing an
effect in the United States second in
gravity only to those which they pro-
duce in Spain, that the ultimate issue Of
events in Cuba will be its independence
however that issue may be produced,
whether by means of negotiation or as
the result of military operations, or of
one of those unexpected incidents which
SO often determine the fate Of nations.
The continuance of the instruction
grows day by day more insupportable to
the United States, and while the atten-
ton OF the Government is fixed on Cuba
in the interes. Of humanity. and by the
horrors of civil war prevailing there, it
cannot forbear to reflect that the exist
ence of slave labor in Cuba and its in
fluence over the feelings and interests of
the peninsular Spanisrds lie at the
foundation of all the calamities which
now afflict Cuba. But slavery cannot
long continue in Cuba. enyironed as that
island is by communities Of emancipated
slaves in the other West India Islands
and the United States. The President
has not been without hope that ell these
questions might be settled by the spon-
taneous act OF Spain herself, she being
more deeply interested in such settle
ment than all the rest OF the world.
The question a. to what decision the
United States shall make is serious and
difficult, and is not to be determined
without q careful consideration OF its
complex elements Of domestic and for
sign policy, but the determination of
which may at any moment be forced on
US by occurrences either in Spain or
Cuba. The President cannot but regard
independence and emancipation, Of
course as the only certain and even
necessary solution of the question Of
Cuba, and in his mind all incidental
questions are quite subordinate to these
larger objects of the United States in
this respect. The President does not |
mediate or desire tho annexation Of |
Cuba to the United States. but its eleva-
ton into an Independent Republic of |
freemen in harmony with ourselves and |
with other Republics Of america. The |
policy Of the United States in reference
to Cuba at the present time is declared |
to be one of e1pediency. but with posi-
tive and fixed convictions as to the duty |
Of the United States when the time for
sctisn shall arrive.
In other words, the cool, safe head,
he unerring judgment and the strong
purpose Of President Grant are mani
est. We are living now A. We have
,sen living, ever since January 1861,
,pon tho perilous edge Of great crises.
During the greater part of that time the
nan to be relied on for strength and
oresight and courage; for heart that
lever doubted, for hand that never
altered, for brain that was never cloud
d, is this living counterpart Of the Iron
luke. He will solve, as President of
he United States the Cuban question.
