Negotiations for the Purchase of the Island
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
The subject of the annexation of Cuba to the
United States was first mooted just after the
French republic proclaimed, in 1S48 The
American government. while willing it should
remain Spanish colony, declared that no other
foreign government should ever possess it. In
1925 Spain had proposed to cede Cuba to the
United States in consideration of certain com
nercial concessions, but this was declined. In
l84S President Polk offered to buy the island for
81, 600, but to this Spain would not listen.
In lS49 fibustering expedition under Lopez
was prevented by the United States government
second expedition got away successfully, but
Lopez was defeated, himself garroted and other
leaders publicly shot Since 1852 the question
of the acquisition of Cuba has entered freely into
American politics. In 1851 Buchanan Mason
and Soule American ministers at London, Paris
and Madrid, drew up the celebrated 0stend man
ifesto urging that Cuba should belong to the
United States and that if Spain would not sell
it. it should be taken, under certain contingent
genciCs. by force
In 1888 the United States Senate considered
a proposition to pay $50 600 for the island.
This the plan of Slidell, of Louisiana 1t
was finally withdrawn The sum named in the
bill, which was reported favorably by both the
committees of the Senate and House, was pro
posed to be appropriated for no secret or dis
gulsed purpose but to enable the President TO
make payment to the Spanish government, on
the full ratification of the treaty by Spain with
out waiting for its ratification 10y the Senate and
the appropriation of the money by Congress, \
minority report was presented by the House
committee which opposed the bill ON the ground
that Cuba would be an Improbable acquisition,
owing to the necessity of preventing internal
disorders which would he sure to arise and that
it would be a adangerous precedent to allow the
President to have the disposal OF $4,000 600 for
the settlement of Il treaty before its ratification
by the Senate.

Disturbing News from the Interior-A De-
plorable State Of Affairs.
NEW YORK, April IA letter from Havana,
dated April ., says
Serious accounts come from the interior az
to movements of large parties Of bandits, and
government troops continue to come in. Yes.
terday a battalion of regular troops was sent
from Havana to Vuelta Ariba, and for a few
days the coast in the neighborhood of Havana
has been occupied by detachments of troops.
The government is apparently waking up to the
situation Private accounts from St. Domingo
say Cuban refugees there are in possession of
large amounts of money and are preparing for a
landing in Cuba in combination with parties
here This is probably the cause of these ex-
traordinary movements of troops. The govern
ment, in spite of all these facts, pretends to rid
cule all reports OF threatened invasion.
News has reached this city that the Minister
of Colonies has made new loan of So, 900. 600
with the Hispano-coonial Bank of Barcelona
for account of the Cuban treasury, pledging in
return daily payment of $4,000 from
the income of tho Cuban custom houses. The
Cuban treasury will have to pay per cent
commission on this loan and interest at l-2 per
cent. per annum. This measure has caused the
greatest Indignation here and added to the State
of perfound alarm and general discomfort pre-
vailing. The loan and contract with the same
bank in 1880 was considered one of the calami-
ties which brought about the present state of
affairs. By virtue of the former loan, the Banco
Hispanocolonial is realizing an immense
profit, the burden of which Cuba alone has to
bear. The bank is already receividg $33, OOG

IF the scheme Of the Marquis de
Aores proves successful, it will in q
great measure destroy. in the large mar
kets of the east, the attempts to boycott
western beef. The intense spirit Of
boycotting, which has recently mani
Tested itself toward Chicago dressed beef
is attributed solely to- the disreputable
methods Of certain Chicago dealers in
attempting to palm off stale beef for
prime beef in the east. The eastern
butchers with keen eye to business,
have taken advantage Of the feeling en-
gsndered by this trick Of the Chicagoans,
and have worked up q formidable feeling
Of opposition to western beef. The Mar
quis de Mores. however, has the advant-
age over Chicago dealers in this, that all
his beef is necessarily prime beef. His
cattle are slaughtered at the abattoirs,
fresh from the healthy herds on his
ranches. The beeves are not trans
ported several hundred Or 1 thousand
miles BY rail to reach his slaughter
houses. Hence they are fresh and
healthy, and make only prime beet. His
system Of cold storage houses from Port
land to Duluth enables him to store his
meat until ready for shipment so as to
bring it to the best possible point Of
fresh meat curing before it reaches the
market. His meats are carefully graded
and sold In accordance with well estab.

always fairly treated and know exactly
what they are purchasing and handling
This immense system of providing the

Elephant Sagacity.

When several elephants are driven to
bridge which they are expected to
cross, they always send forward the
smallest of the company first to try its
strength. A writer in Vanity Fair
gives another surprising example Of the
sagacity Of these animals:
| once asked an Indian road officer
what was the cleverest act he ever knew
an elephant to perform, aud be told me
how once when unloading some steel
tubing from on board a ship. it was the
elephants task to carry pipes by means
Of his trunk from one part Of the wharf
to another.
The pipes had been oiled to keep
them from rusting and when the ele-
plant took one up, it slipped from his
grasp. He tried it again with the same
result, and at last seemed to comprehend
what the reason Of all this was for he
soon nfterward pushed tho pipe with his
foot to where there was heap Of sand
and rolled the pipe backward and for
ward The sand, owing to the oil, ad-
hcred to the tube, and the elephant then
put his trunk around it and carried it
with ease. lie did the same to the re-
mander without aid or suggestion from
his mnhout

Business men are not supposed to
laugh at any order, however extrava.
giant, that may be sent them; but if one
OF Lynn's big shoe dealers didn't indulge
in real CHASTITY smile when he received
one order this fall it was because he had
rot sufficient strength left. J. M. Far
mum is colored preacher in Charlotte,
N g., and his fighting weight when
sk'rmshing with the legions of Satan is
40 pounds. He stands six feet ten
inches high without his boots, aud, taken
collectively, would be dangerous man
to fall under at skating rink. Some
time ago a Northern gentleman met Mr..
Farnum in the South, and the latter Or
dered pair Of shoes made for him at
the North, for which this gentleman took
the measure. The order was given to
Lynn's leading shoe manufacturer, but
it was too much for him, and n pair of
shoes were made from a special last in
Boston and sent the reverend gentle
man.
The shoes are thirty fves. The length
from heel TO toe Is just twenty inches,
and the width Of the ball, including a
protuberance that may be corn and
may be natural is trihe over seven
and half inches. Some idea Of the
"tout ensemble may be gained from the
fact that pastboard copy of the sole of
one Of the shoes, which reporter car.
ried in his overcoat pocket, extended
from the lowest depth of the pocket to
the arm-pi' ; This copy was taken from
n measurement OF the bootless foot of
the clergyman and those who know
pronounce it exact. From the forward
end of the sole piece the size Of des-
scrt-plate could easily be cut. The heel.
if of the proper material, would make
decidedly generous aap-jack, and tho
whole thing, in shape and size, gives
one the irresistible impression Of tennis
racket, or an elongated shirt front with.
