Cutting the Way Out.

A. A. Jones, Corporal, Co. b, 65th Iowa,
Toledo, Iowa, writes: e I am in receipt Of a
letter from Briscoe Goodhart, of Washington,
d. c., calling my attention to history of
the LOudoun (Va. Rangers .. S. Cav,
stating that he had noticed my article on the
Harper's Ferry surrender, and that both
Greeley's account in The American Con-
flict' and my account of who took the
cavalry out of Harper's Ferry the night
of Sept. II, 1862, are wrong; that the
history of the above organization says
that Capt. Means saw that no effort would
be made to save the place; he urged the
cavalry to escape ; his company led the way,
and 1000 troops followed | think that
the war records will show that the 10Th Ill
Cav, commanded by Col. Volk, WAS the only
full regiment Of cavalry at the Ferry at the
time that the cavalry went out. However,
there were several detachmentS of cavalry at
the Ferry at the time mentioned, and that
from the fact of Capt. Means taking command
at this time when there was Colonel present
with full regiment does not need any
further evidence, but it does look like the
statement was correct which L made in my
explanation of the affair-that there icing
an Illinois regiment at the Ferry, besides
tie 10Th Cav, Col. Volk's first thought
would be to request the Illinois boys to go
out with them, knowing that he (Volk) in
tended to cut out of the Ferry the night be-
fore the surrender. The Illinois boys don't
claim any great amount of glory so far as
putting down the rebellion ON the Potomac
is concerned, but will defend what little we
did in helping to do it. There is a crumb
left for all the old BOYS who saw service. So
don't take to heart what have written from
my standpoint"

spaniards Back Down in Regard to the
Cuban Debt.
The firm stand taken by the American
Commissioners in regard to the aSsump-
ton of the Cuban debt had it's effect
Early last week the Spaniards accepted
the inevitable, and agreed that the United
States should not be asked or expected to
assume any portion OF the Spanish debt
charged against Cuba, nor to coerce the
Cuban Government that might be or
ganized into doing so. On the other hand
the Americans, as they had offered to do
from the first, promised To guarantee all
purely local municipal debts which had
been contracted for improvements and
other purposes. The Spanish acceptance
had a string tied to it, however. They
reserve the right,iif there should be a
final Disagreement about the Philippines,
to rescind their acceptance, and throw the
whole matter over, The Americans also
agreed to GUARANTEES the maintenance Of
order and the protection of life and
property in Cuba until such time as a
stable Government should be organized.
