CUBAN COMPLICATIONS.

ELoNDoN, Jan. 3.--rhe London
correspondent of The Manchester
Guardian writes as follows on the
4ubject OF Spain, Cuba, and the
piited States:
s,A have been furnished with what
tsipports to be the substance of
AMerica's Cuban note. / believe
ii is correct, though l do not pre-
Mad to give the exact language.
krecites that the general interests
and commerce demand
VIZ cessation Of the struggle which
siEs been waged in Cuba for seven
MARS. The United States are great
sb4erers but are unwilling to act
WITHOUT the concurrence of other
powers, including Spain. The
continuation of the attempt to
cavern Cuba from Madrid will be
fayal to the hopes Of the restora-
ton Of peace. Nevertheless Cuba
belongs 10 Spain, and great share
@f the population is opposed to
separation. In these circumstances
Pc solution Of the question might
DC found ia establishing a confed-
&ration ih the West Indies resemb-
lmg the Canadian. Cuba and
Porto Rico might be constituted a
with local inde-
pendent rights and a Governor.
General appointed by Spain. The
Powers are asked to join the
United States in proposing such a
and aiding Cuba to
establish it. The abolition Of
slavery would, however, be a
pccessary condition, and such
pressure must he brought as would
nike the insurgents cease warfare.

THE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.

New YORK. January 3.-Captain
Frauche, of the steamship SaIier
who arrived yesterday, was the
bearer of a letter to the German
Consul at New York, and had in.
sJructions to permit no one but the
proper authorities to board or leave
the vessel until the Consul had
read the letter. 1t was written by
the Bremerhaven authorities dur.

the impression that possibly some
traces that would lead to addition
al facts in regard to the explosi iou
might be obtained on the Salier.-
Nothing, however, had been dis

FRED AND ORVILLE,


Very trustworthy authority here
is responsible for the intelligence
that documentary evidence appar-
on.ly duplicating Fred Grant aud
Orville Grant in the whisky fauds
has been concluded and forwarded
to st. Louis for the use of the grand
jury. Dilligent inquiry and com
parison from all sources likely to
be Informed confirm this point
The documents in the case have
been under examination for weeks,
in skillful hands, and the result is
said to be the implication of the
two Grants. 1t is further avowed
that the authorities who are prose
cutting the whisky cases hastened
this evidence outof the city, lest
the effort of Mrs. Joyce, in behalf
OF her husband, through the instru-
mentality of the Babcock letters,
should impede the cause of justice,
in order that just one guilty man
may be permitted to escape
Fletcber's influence at the White
House is said to be so great that
he will be able to do more even than
the original ring in the suppression
Of evidence, should the appeal be
made directly to the President
Mrs. Joyce will not appeal to the
President IN VAN from any lack of
cogent arguments or strong friends
to enforce them. Mr.. Bristow has
repeated his assurance that no
guilty man is too escape, and that
confession isn't to be considered %
combination of crime.

[FvJm the st. Jsspph (Mo.) Gazette.)
We have received information ti
say from most reliable sources
.wbich is of great interest in con-
section With the approaching trial
df O. Z. Babcock. There is no
drooked whisky in it, but it is sim
! sN . story of dividends from Gov
&nment contractors, pocketed by
ksb. We give it below,merely ad-
Aihg that it is fully vouched for by
4slne of the best Republicans in
Kansas, and that all the facts in
TIE case will be reported to and in
wstgated by the Congressional
Committee.
sThe story is that in the summer
os1S54, pessrs. Durfee d. Peck, a
Dkavenwoith city firm Of freighters
lad large contracts for transporting
AMY and Indian supplies up the
Missouri River, and were also en-
gnged in trading with the Indians
utder permit from the Govern
nbnt: that in July of that year E.
IL HDurfee, of that firm, was sick in
IAavanworth, and during his sick
nsgs Rev. 1. S. Kalloch attended
uson him and was his spiritual adj
vi Ter and friend. That one day
wtlile Durfee lay almost at the
p&nt Of death a letter came to him
fiam C. w. Babcock, Lawrence, Kan.
a Brother Of Orville, and now Sur
ygsor General of Kansas, telling
DNefee that he wanted "tbat little
matter settled up" and that he
{ etTlee) must :emlt to him $4,000
adeording to the understanding he
tween them. Kalloch, becoming
aware of the nature Of the letter,
ana Durfee seeming to be annoyed
b.sgit, he asked Durtee what it
meaat, and Durfee told him that
tie Administration. through the
twN Babeocks, had been making
lie Yes upon the firm, and that this
wl# a levy which had not been paid
beh must be paid at once, and that
inSlccordance with Mr.. Durfee's
dirkcson a draft for the amount
WI sent to c.. w. Babcock. Mr..
d 4Eiee died in August, and Kalloch
tel u the story. Our informant as
su-As.us that the whole matter can
brEtA.Saofted by, the best proof;
thdWiAe letter is still in existence.

X sss. are conversant with the

Many OF our readers will remem-
bsEEhat some two years ago Orvllle
Cant, brother Of the President,
wAB authorized to trade with the
Infians, and tried to drive Messrs.
Dartee d Peck and Others out Of
tlh business. Peck went to Wash
ilE,ton, interviewed Bah and the
Hbsident, and got the order giving
tA Presidents brothar the eXclu-
sHelpriyilege Of trading with the
liHlsans modified SO as not to inter-
fffe with the business of his firm.
IS6nay be. that this $4,000 was paid
inknecordance with an agreement
il,tcie in Washington between Dur
f&& Peck, Orvllle Babcock and
Qkille Grant.
Nbether that be the case or not,
Tie money was paid, it is said, to
QW. Babcock, and it will be for

Eb's crookedness, to look into it.
