The note says that the Cuoan insur-

l~attoes, Chinese, and deserters from the
Spanish army, and that there are scarcely
300 white Cubans in arms. The Govern
ment of Spain cannot come to any agree
ment with such elements, and only after
a complete victory would it grant to the
island of Cuba all the liberties it would
enjoy presently, had it not been for the
insurrectlon /; it makes known also that in
spite OF the instruction the commerce of
the island has increased in the last ten
years, only three districts having suffered
from the war; that all the foreigners who
have suffered losses, will be Unidentified,
and the confiscation Of foreign properties,
taken off. This note is considered as an
indirect answer to the last from the Gov
eminent of the United States.

es of the Louisville, Cincinnati and
Lexington railroad Company against

livered an exhaustive and able opiu'

all the law upon the subject of EN-.
ployer and employe. 1t seems to us
that the opinion is eminently Just and
proper, and that it will settle the law
upon the subject, not only in this, but
other States. The owners Of railroads
can not expect to make money out Of
it, without the aid of those who run
their trains, and, to deter those who
do their work, in getting their pay,
would virtually put stop to the run
