THE ISLAND OF CUBA.

Unautbenticated Statement that Our Gov
eminent Is Negotiating for Its Purchase.
Washington Special.
Minister Foster, our representative in Spain
has been in Washington for a number Of weeks
II is now learned that he is here for the purpose
of assisting the State Department to negotiate
a treaty with Spain for the purchase of Cuba.
Spain is willing to sell, and Frelinghuysen is
ready to buy. The price is not yet agreed upon,
but it is probable that this will be soon settled
on
Spain holds Cuba now only at a loss, owing to
her bad management of the affairs of that un
hapy island. Twice this government has nearly
purchased Cuba. Buchanan once nearly bought
Cuba for $50, 600 900. Hamilton Fish once had a
treaty all perfected to buy Cuba for $3.50, 000, 600
After the treaty had been ratified by the eKecu-
tive authorities Of the two governments, Mr..
Fish, before sending the treaty to the Senate for
Anal ratification, thought, in his conservative
fashion, that it would be prudent to send circu-
lar note to the powers asking them if they would
object to the purchase OF course, they did. and
Mr.. Fish never sent the treaty to the Senate.
Now, the administration has conceived the idea
or purchasing Cuba Offset to the brilliant
policy of Mr.. Blaine. 1t is said that Spain is
now willing to sell cheap, and that she will take
800, 900 600 rather than not sell at all.
