CUBAN MExrC.aS ANNExArrov.

1t is asserted to be true that negotiations
are pending for the sale Of Cuba to Mexico,
and that there is some likelihood that the
outcome of negotiation will be the transfer
of the island to our neighbor. It is possible
that there may be something in these rumors,
although there are at least two reasons why
the trade should not be made. One Of these
is, that Cuba ia source of profit to Spain,
and the other Is, that Mexico is not in that
opulent condition which is essential to the
purchase of SO large piece of real estate.
However, so far as the United States are
concerned, the present transfer would not
probably meet with any great objection.
Mexico is a republic, it is on this continent
and its territorial acquisition in our vicinity,
are not necessarily in the nature of men
ace. So far as Cuba itself is concerned, its
annexation ty Mexico would not have the
effect to render it any less disorderlY than il
is at the present time.
The incessant revolt In that island is based
on O demand for independence, and would
certainly be as rampant If the ownership
were located in Mexico, rather than in Spain.
There are people In this country who believe
that Cuba should be portion of this repub-
lie. They should find no fault with the
transfer Of the island to Mexico, for the rea-
son that if we should ever conclude that mani
fest destiny requires the taking of Cuba, it can
be much more easily be taken from Mexico
than from Spain. The latter has fleet, and
a fairly formidable one, and it is quite
possible that an attempt to forcibly wrest
Cuba from Spain would cost US much more
than the island is worth. In fact, it is even
possible that we might try to take it by force
and fail. The prospects are better for its ui-
innate capture in the direction of Mexican
posse ssion.
We have thrashedF that country once and
can do it again, much more easily than be-
fore. There is good deal of feeling already
between the MeXicans and the American
merchants who have located on Mexican soil.
This trouble will be almost sure to increase.
1t should not be removed. 1t should be al
lowed to simmer, until after Mexico has Sc
cured Cuba, and then we can make a de-
mand for damages suffered by American res
idents, and if we wish to, can take Cuba as
compensation.

Kellogg in regard to the petitions and
papers. He told Kellogg that he would give
him $4,000 if he would get orders for expe-

about IT, A few days afterward Kellogg told
him he thought it would be all right, that pc
tition would be granted and expedition or

a promissory note, aggregating 500, 600 The
note was produced and identified, as were
the fiue drafts.
The district attorney directed attention TO
the endorsements upon the papers by Walsh
Witness said Walsh's endorsement was
not upon them when he gave them to Kel-
logg.
The note was read. 1t was drawn by
Price to his own order for $4,000, dated July
10th, 1879. The drafts were also read
They were five in number for $4,000 each
endorsed by Price and Walsh. Witness had
nothing more to do with the drafts after Civ
ing them to Kellogg, and paid the note at
maturity. witness next CONVERSATION WIN
Kellogg was some time in 1881, after the
newspapers got hold of all this stuff, and
Kellogg told him there was nothing in it; it
would all end in smoke. Kellogg also said
he had given the drafts to Walsh, and that he
had received no money from him, Walsh.
At another interview Kellogg said he
had gotten So 200 from Walsh, and that
Brady had gotten the rest of the money, or
something Of that kind. Witness did not
concern himself about it. 1t did not interest
him, and his recollection Of the interview was
not distinct.
Before proceeding with the cross-examina-
ton Wilson made motion to strike out the
testimony. He based the motion upon the
fact that witness had not testified he had paid
Kellogg 81, 500 in lawful money on different
occasions as set out in the Indictment The
defense desired to argue the question at
length
Judge Wylie said he would not entertain
the motion, until the cross-eXamination was
completed.

It has been considerably rumored that Mr..
Blaine contemplates suit against Puck for
its caricature of him as the "Tatooed Man,"
Mr.. Blaine is too old stager to do thing
like that, no matter how much he may feel
annoyed The Washington correspondent Of
the Cleveland Leaderupon information purpor-
ting to come from an intimate friend of the
''tatooed man" says no one laughs more
heartily over the caricature than the subject
thereof, and that the story of his rage is
simply absurd. It would seem natural that
Blaine had grown accustomed to criticism
and ridicule even, to haye become hardened
by experience, but the truth probably is that
he is one of the most sensitive Of public men.
When in Congress he frequently exhibited this
trait, and his quarrel with Conkling was an
offspring from it. So too his conduct in
springlng the Credit Moblier investigation,
and the hot haste he exhibited in the Black Fri
day conspiracy matter, and assumed defiance
in the Mulligan expose. His testy conduct
few months ago when he hadt appear as a
witness and was questioned by young Mr..
Belmont exhibited a thin cuticule that sur
prised many. Laugh as he may, and of
course that's the best policy, ''the tatooed
man" is no joke, and Mr.. Blaine knows
enough to know It,

Utah Commission.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The report of the
Utah commission was made to the secretary
of the interior to-day. The commissioners
give detailed statement of the operations
and work OF the commission last year. They
recommend, also, the passage of law giving
the first or legal wife the right Of
dover, as at common law, or some
other equivalent interest in the real
estate of her husband They also suggest
that to facilitate the punitory provisions of
the law, the department of justice should be
furnished with fund to be specially applied
to that purpose, and that as justices of the
peace in total are nearly all Mormons, it
would be wise to confer concurrent civil and
criminal jurisdiction upon the United States
commissioners. They also say I'VE would
suggest the advisability of considering a law
for the appointment by the governor, or the
district judges of certain territorial and
country officers, who are now electiye.n

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Before the Jean

asked If he said anything about poison, or
had any poison with him on the retreat. He
said he and DR.. Amber frequently talked
about the proper course to be pursued in an
emergency and arrived at the conclusion that
under no circumstances was anything like
cannibalism to be permitted. If the emer-
gency arose, which would suggest cannibal-
ism, they were determined to take cyanide
of potassium and put themselves out of the
way. AS matter of fsct, however, they
left the vessel in haste and took no poison
with them.

CURRENT COMMENT,

THE minority report from the Senate committee
on female suffrage, signed by Senators Brown, of
Georgia, and Cockerill, of Missouri, has been
issued in a pamphlet of eight pages. 1t i. said
ther brother senators are waiting with some
concern to see whether peace will be long main
tanned in their respective families, as the report
opposes female suffrage with vim almost I'M
gallant. The report reviews the discharge of
masculine dutics,' including POLITICAL military,
jury, municipal, &C., protesting inability to
understand how these may be discharged sin
connection with the more sacred, delicate and
refining trust, the elevating, ennobling duties of
wife, mother, Christian and friend which are
found in the sphere where nature has placed
her. and upon another point the following is de
duced: sit is said by those who have examined
the question closely that the largest number of
divorces is now found In the communities where
the advocates of female suffrage are most numer-
Gus, and where the individuality of woman as re-
lated to her husband, which such doctrine incul
Gates, is increased TO the greatest extent If this
be true and it seems to be well authenticated, it
is a strong plea in the interest of the family and
of society against granting the petition Of the ad-
vocates OF woman suffrage" With what de-
lighted ease would Miss Stanton or Miss An
