COLLISION OF STEAMSHIPS.
The Oneida, Bound for WilmingtO
n, c., Damaged.

NEW YORK, November 7-While the
Clyde steamship Oneida, bound for Will
mington, N. c., with a general cargo,
was passing down the East river this
afternoon, the Atlantic-Line steamship
Olive pulled out from her pier at the foot
OF Congress street. Brooklyn. and was
swinging around so as to head down the
stream. Owing TO the strong current,
her bow was swung against the fore
quarters OF the Oneida. buckling several
plates above the water-line and carry
ing away six or eight feet OF the Oneida's
rail, also disarranging the steamers
steering gear. The Olive proceeded down
the bay. but was not reported as having
passed outside Of the Hook. and II Is
supposed that the captain dropped anchor
somewhere down the bay. having ascer-
tanned that the injuries to his vessel
would prevent his going to sea. The
Oneida was hauled back TO her pier.

General Lees Admissions.
CWashingtOn Star)

General Lee as was to be expected, s
extremely guarded in discussing the Gu
ban situation for publication. His Off
cial position imposes caution, and, besides.
Dy giving his views at this time he would
in some measure forestall the President
Mr.. Cleveland in short time is TO adj
dress Congress on the subject, and much
Of what he then says will probably be
based upon what General Lee now says 10
him.
Two things of Importance, however
General Lee. with perfect propriety, lets
fan. one Is that the struggle on the
island gives no sign Of speedy cessation.
The other is that, as the natural conse-
duences of war, business is paralyzed,
and great destruction of valuable pro-
perty goes on. In General Lees opinion,
"the island is being gradually ruined"
Here we have, from the very highest
source. confirmation of the very PROPOSE
tons upon which American sympathy
with Cuba is founded. After contending,
upon broad ground, that the Cuban peo-
pie are worthy Of freedom, and being op-
pressed are justified in trying 10 throw
off their oppressors, the people OF this
country hold that Spain has shown her
inability TO put down the war. and that
the destruction of the island toward that
end ought not to be permitted.
The devastation, Of course. is the work
Of both sides. But on the one side II Is
an instrument OF oppression, while on
the other It is an instrument In the IN
terests OF liberty and OF greater de-
velopment If Spain RECEIVERS control OF
an island turned over from shore 10
shore. she will long have only waste
place on her hands. The people Will be
slow 10 restore that which originally in
vited the oppressor, and which, II re-
stored will induce him 10 tighten his
chains But IT, in the end, Cuba secures
independence. the fact that ashes every
where appear, and that the work of re-
storation IS colossal, will not deter the
rand execution Of that work. II may
even act as a spur. The people, with
their density at last in their own hands'
will spring forward to tasks from w-'lch'
when completed, so much OF happiness
and prosperity will proceed
