England and the United States.

Mr.. Arnold White, the London CORE
spondent of Harper's Weekly, has an en-
ergetic paragraph in the current number
OF the Weekly on the present friendly dis
position of the English people After dis
cussing the hostility or antipathy mani
tested in this crisis towards both England
and the United States. by France, Ger
many, Austria and Italy, Mr.. White CON
tinues:
$40 not let the American public make
any mistake about the facts. If England
is unpopular on the Continent it is part
ly because she is strong, and partly be
cause she is not only free, but the friend
Of freedom in other lands. America is
disliked among the despotisms for the
same reasons. Continental powers know
that the organized armed strength Of the
United States At the end of this war, let it
end when it may, will make America a
match for the great powers, whether in
the Pacific or il the Atlantic. Foreigners
perceive that the rescue of cuba from
Spanish brutality will introduce the Uni
ted States into the circle OF the great Euro
pean powers. To her will fall tine dis

of Spain may be to make of the war sue
ceSsion of slow campaigns and thus to rem
der the capture of Cuba but one incident
in long struggle. European nations,
other than Great Britain, regard the APP
proach to the shores Of Spain of the great
Western influence with feelings of abhor-
renee, dismay, and surprise. They are
beginning to see that while for Spain there
are two ways out of the trouble that be-
sets her, for the United States there is but
one. Whatever the cost, and whatever
the sacrifice, the American republic can
not stay her hand until Spain has been
driven out of her colonial empire in East
and West And, lastly, they know that

London press, so far as they have come
under my notice. In each case | learn

Professor Alvin P. Barnaby, President Of
Huntsville College, at Hartsvi1le, Ind, has
learned the method by which professional
men or business men, or anyone whose
duties are too much for their strength, may
repair their shattered health.

the world will rejoice to learn that President
Barnaby has fully recovered from the break
down that threatened to end his Useful career.

for the Presidency, and should the pur-
chase of Cuba be attempted during the
| campaign the Democrats would certainly
make party capital out of it. Finally it
was decided to incorporate company,
with charter like that of the Indian EN-
pre- Company, which should provide for
the purchase of Cuba for 500, 600, 0O0-
one-fourth to be paid down in gold and the
rest of the debt to be funded in twenty
year bond, secured by lien upon the
revenues OF the island at six per cent in
terest. The island was to be controlled
by board of directors, chosen cverv four
years, who would select a governor and
such other officers as might be necessary.
The chartered company was to hold the
same relation to the United States that
the Indian Empire Company held to Eng
land, having the right to maintain an army

September 80, 1865 in the exile of Queen

nanifeSt Destiny.

The section of the press which strenu-
ously opposed the war, having been
silenced by it, is now arguing our enjoy
ment of the fruits of victory. If our flag
goes up in Manila, they say we must haul
it down; every Spanish possession which
may become ours must be abandoned
We do not interpret this, as rule, as
actual hostility to the Republic, but rather
as another manifestation of the timidity
and selfshness upon which the party Of
peace at any price was originally founded

Spanish valor?

We are hearing great deal about Span
ish honor and Spanish valor from Spanish
statemen and their European admirers,
and from some OF our own writer's of the
press. Frankly, we do not believe that
the Spanish people, as people, are dis
tinguished for courage beyond other peo-
pie, and we know that their own boast
ings about their honor are as idle as the
boastings of the New York daily press
about it's achievements. Many of the
Spaniards are towards, and most of them
are treacherous. The conduct of the
commanding officer at the arsenal at
Cavite, after he had raised flag of truce,
is characteristic of the Spaniard. Com
mander Lamberton, seeing the flag of
truce, went ashore to receive the sur
render, when he was told that the flag of
truce meant nothing, and he was sur
rounded by an armed guard while he con-
versed with the Spanish commander. If
the guns of the Petrol had not been train
ed upon the arsenal, we have no doubt
whatever that the Spaniards, having lured
the commander and his officers and men
ashore by the flag of truce, would have
murdered them. That they did not muir
der them, and did actually and finally sur
render, was due to the fact that they We're
fdidlu " carry oul THEIR deSlreS. Another
incident characteristic of Spaniards was
the attempt to lure the American squad
ron into narrow channel on the assur-
ance that there were no torpedoes there.
AS matter of fact, the channel was
found to be- as full of torpedoes as the
Spaniards We're of lies and treachery. 1t
