THE DAUNTLEss, A CAsUs BELL.
The saucy and Irreprsssible DAunt-
less is just now looming up as a cas-
US belli, staying the response of Spain to
this governments diplomatic offers of
mediation in Cuba, and, to a certain
extent, confounding all unity on
earth.
The diplomatic note recently pre-
sented to the Spanish government by
Minister Woodford had been courte-
ously received and was being care
fully considered. Spain, there can be
little doubt, was inclined to make a
favorable reply. But, just as the ne
gotiatlons were reaching an amicable
adjustment, schooner sailed out of
New York harbor, loaded down with
munitions of war, met the Dauntless
off the southern coast and the
frisky tug is, it is now sup
posed, engaged in transferring the
cargo of the "siIver Heel" to the coast
Of Cuba.
This expedition gives the Sagasta
government an excuse and pretext
Gable advicss from Madrid indicate
that Spain will meyer make a favor
able reply until this government stops
these expeditions. Thus does the
Dauntless, which began existence by
quietly towing the white winged car.
risrs OF commerce to and fro in TIE
hsTboT OF Brunswiok, now figure as az
international hindrance and q dis
turber of international amity.
But the hearts of the people are with
the tug and her projects-and al
