The Spa nish question .

WASHINGTON Jan. Is. Secretary
Fish yesterday communicated to the
Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions the note sent TO European pow
ers in November concerning Cuban
affairs. The note recites the long
duration Of the struggle in Cuba, the
useless bloodshed and devastation
and the apparent incapacity Of Spain
to quiet Cuba.
1t was suggested that IL European
powers felt inclined they would do
wisely torepresent to Spain their own
opinion of the situation, and the ne
cessity of taking practical and posi-
tive measures for the pacification OF
Cuba.
Curministers were instructed TO
read this note to the foreign minis
ters Of Great Britain, Germany, RUS
sia, France and Austria. Therespone
of these governments have now been
received, and they acknowledge the
entire justice Of the American note.
Australia declines to take any part in
the representations THAT may be made
to Spain. All the others propose to
instruct their representatives jill Ma
drid at once to urge upon Spain the
necessity Of quickly ending the war.

The Springfield Republican
serves up the details of the recent
elopement from West Stock bridge
which cccasioned such sensa-
ton i'm Western Massachusetts.
The name of the rascal in the af-
fair was Frederick Adolphus Won
Rupprecht, son of the late Baron
Won Rupprecht, of Munich. He
was remarkably brilliant as a
young man, graduating with hon
or at the German Military Acade-
my in 1869, but deserted from his
corps, the next year, and sailed
for New York. Here, when his
funds were gone, he changed his
name to Carl Schurz, and enlisted
in our army, being stationed at
San Antonio, Texas, and subse-
quently promoted to sergeant +;
but in April. 1875, he was muster
ed out through the influence of
the German Minister. In the July
following. Schurz advertised in
the Waverly Magazine for young
lady correspondents, and so be.
came acquainted with Miss Ida
Cone, of West Stock bridge, an
adopted daughter of franklin
Cone. In September he visited
her, makinga most agreeable i'm
preston by his culture and gentle
manly qualities upon the West
Stock bridge people ;then he,. went
to Albany and finally enlisted
again, and was detailed for Office
duty: the while he corresponded
with Miss Cone, writing in Greek
when he thought other parties
were reading the letters, and
made himself conspicuous as a
Christian young man, About the
1st of November he borrowed a
suit of clothes from a secondhand
dealer, with all the money he
could get, and went to Berkshire for
a bride. He returned to Albany
with Miss Cone, and then to New
York, intending to sail for Wen
ma. After spending a fortnight at
a Hoboken hotel, and just before
the bill was to be presented, Won
Rupprecht or Schurz took his
wife's trunks to have them inspect
ed and stored on the steamer ; also
her watch and chain to be repair
| ed, her diamond ring to be clean
ed, &c, and sailed for Bremen
December IL; and the deserted
wife was left to find her way home
as best she might. Investigation
| by the authorities shows that the
trunks We're marked Baroness

Augustus Won Rupprecht, Augs-

POLITICAL NOTES.

The two parties in the House
can take an account of stock, and
estimate profit and loss on the
late operations for party capital
On the whole, charging up Blaine's
mistakes at their fullest figure, it
will generally be held by cool OBJ
servers that the republicans have
made the most, or rather, per-
haps, have lost the least by the
House debate last week. That the
democratic leaders have felt this
to be the case is to be seen from
the fact that they have brought
the debate to a close as speedily as
possible, and that the speeches of
Messrs. Hill and Cox, much as
they were applauded on their de-
livery, have been prudently held
back for revision" or, in other
words, to be doctored, to the end
that they shall afford as little ma
terial as possible for republican
campaign purposes. But with all
revision and excision, it will be
practically impossible to make
them anything but distasteful to
the great Union sentiment of the
north and west, as ifthey are used
at all for campaign purposes we
may feel assured that it will be
the republicans who will print and
circulate them.
The southern papers are quite
sure they don't like Mr.. Blaine's
speech. The Richmond Enquirer
says "One hardly knows which
to dispise the most, the malignity
or the senseIessness of these pro-
fessional agitators;" the Dispatch
concludes that ne is only "scurvy
politician !" and the Wilmington
Star feels impelled to apostrophize
him thus: "Blaine jim Blaine !!
miserable trickster, small-potato
statesman, do you think you are
writing your name among the
Presidents by any such act as that
stab at Jefferson Davis -
Gen. Banks resumed his old
time position as one of the finest
orators in The House in his speech
on amnesty. The beauty of his
language and the grace Of his de-
livery secured for him the closest
attention on both sides the
House.
