THE CUBAN SURRENDER.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The
Department of State is in receipt of
official information down 70 the 9Th
instant from the United States Con-
sul-General at Havana. He reports
that uD to this time the number of
surrenders in the central department
was over two thousand. The insur-
gents still unaccounted for in the
eastern and Las Villas districts are
variously estimated from two to four
thousand! The terms given to the
insurgents are generally regarded as
honorable to them as to Spain. The
rancors and animosities between
Cuhans and Spaniards which marked
the first years of the war have to a
great extent disappeared and the
Consul has no doubt that the remain
ing forces will before long give in
their adhension. The time is, on the
whole, propitfeus for the introduce
ton of the Compromised reforms on
the island.

A PARTNERSHIP BROKEN.
NEW YORK. March f5. 1T Is no
secret that the partnership heretofore
existing between the firm of Messrs.
Hewitt and Tilden has been dissolv-
ed by mutual consent. The causes
for some time past at work to pro-
duce that result have been frequent
ly limited at in this correspondence,
but the last feather on the cancels
back, as far as Mr.. Tilden is concern
ed, was Mr.. Hewitt's speech, a day
or two ago, arraingning the admins
tration of President Hayes, and as
serting that "the Presidents title to
his Office is absolutely dnassailable. "
Mr.. Tilden is understood to have
said that that speech appears to have
been made without any Ineligible
motive, apart from desire for public
notoriety. He is as much averse now
as Mr.. Hewitt is to reopening of
the Presidential count, and more
than once of late has expressed him
self to that effect. If Mr.. Hewitt's
only object, therefore, was to make
war on the Presidents Civil Service
Reform policy, Mr.. Tilden is OF
opinion that the party will lose more
than it will gain by his speech. He
thinks it will have tendency to in.
crease the unfriendliness already ex-
isting between the Northern and
Southern Democracy, inasmuch as
the latter appear to have made up
their minds to stand by the president
as long as he is disposed to befriend
them. Mr.. Hewitt's friends are not
uniformed of these criticisms, but
attribute them to the fact that Mr.
Tilden was not consulted before the
speech was made. The growing cool
ness between these two distinguished
gentlemen may not be a very inn
portant matter in itself, but, in view
