The state department is in receipt oil
information that the vessel which recent
ly fired on Two American schooners in
Cuban waters was the Cante, a small
screw steamer belonging to the Spanish
navy. No formal presentation of the
case will be made to the Spanish gov
erpment until the testimony of Admiral
Wyman. who vas yesterday ordered
with the Tennessee to Havana, has been
received. The Spanish authorities have
thus far denied that the firing was done
by any vessel OF the Spanish navy. As
sistant Secretary Hodges is OF opinion,
now that the fact of the firing and iden-
tity OF the vessel can be fully establish
ed. that the Spanish authorities will set
up in justification the claim that they
have always made-that they have a
right to fire upon or detain suspicious
vessels to within three leagues of their
shores. AS our government has always
vigorously reslsted this claim, there is
no reason to suppose any departure will
be made in the presen. case from the
usual policy. 1t is believed the whole
matter will be formally discussed at the
cabinet meeting Friday.

Baltimore Sun :-s'The south is GER
tainly solid IN one respect, and that is in
its earnest purpose to organize prosper
ity and resume industry upon a whole
some basis. Planters and farmers are
not only getting out of debt. but the
people generally are making themselves
independent by developing their miner
al and promoting all sorts Of
manufactures, from cotton fabrics to
nails. from flour to furniture. Last year
the cotton crop brought $3.50. 100000
good money into the south, and this has
not all been spent in paying back debts.
A good deal of it will 60 to increase
capital and Industries now growing up.
This year it is expected that the return
from the greatstapIe crop will be still
larger, and IN the meanwhile, as the
AtlantaC Constitution says, with commend

springing up in strength and usefulness,
