HAS SANGUILI.Y SURRENDEREne

IT now seems quite certain that Gen.
Julio Sanguilly, formerly of the insur-
gent force in Cuba, has been recon

renewed his alleSence to Spain. OF
course, it would be better for the cause
oc the struggling Cubnns II this were
not SO, but after all The patriots could
l"se several Sanguillys and yet no very
great harm come to them. For very
macy months Sangullly had been OF no
special assistance to the insurgents.
and beyond little sympathy had done
nothing whatever to help them, and
the sequel now proves that his sym
pathy was not of the genuine sort or he
would not have SO easily been led
into the Spanish camp. Men have
been bought before and men will doubt
Tess continue to be bought until the end
Of lime. This being the case, 1t is pos
sible that Spanish gold has had some
thing TO do with the change of front
which now seems to be Sanguilly's posi-
ton.

Senator Aldrich, who during the last

OF Rhode Island, who vouchcd for
the peculiar excellence of the cot
ton schedule of the Dinghy tariff
law, that the wages of $4,000 opera
tives in Fall River Will be reduced
10 per cent. The cause of the reduc-
tion is the depressed condition OF
the cotton market, which does not
enable print cloth. II is asserted
to be manufactured for the price
now prevailing. which is the lowest
on record. And thus we see the
failure of the most scientific tariff
law ever framed 10 produce either
