has long article ON the American
Spanish question. After quoting the
assertion OF the Anti-Slavery society
In their memorial TO Lord Derby that
Spain IL willing TO grant Cuba the
rights of self-governing colony on
condition that slavery be retained,
points 10 the contrast drawn by Mr.
Fish between the British colonial sys-
tenn and the despotic system OF Spain,
and concluds ~ follows: IL the two
Governments are agreed with regard
TO the end there should be little din
Guilty IN devising the means. The sla-
very question need occasion little con-
troversy. Cuba, with practically In.
dep ,ndent Legislature, would soon find
abolition necessary. The island would
probably be badly governed, but tho
war would be- ended aud Cuba allowed
to develop her resources.
PARIS, January 24.-The jury In the
Michael's competition for plays on
the subject OF the American Revolu-
ton awarded no first prize, fearing the
public would not ratify their decision.
The two pieces to which the second
prize was awarded the jury agree In
pronouncing remarkable works pos
sessing great merit. That entitled IA
Great Citizen Is the joint production
Of NM. Armand, Antoise and Latille,
the latter being the pseudonym OF the
well-known poet Francois Coppeo.
The play "fhe New World" IL by
Villiers, Lisle, Adams, and "The Free
American" by Adolphe Michael. A
fourth production entitled " Inc
Patriots Is written by an American
who takes the name OF Fernando Arm
and 1t is described as full Of move
ment and life, but deviates from the
programme laid down. II Is believed
| 1t will have great success.
