tIrcuiatiou Statement.
The Goebe1 Murder Refugees.

According to a despatch from Indiana
polls Saturday night, Governor Mount, Of
Indiana, is believed to be wavering greatly
in his former determination to harbor the
fugitives from Justice Taylor and Finley
II appears hat the conviction of Caleb
Powers for completely in the shocking
murder of the late Governor Goebel. was
by no means unexpected by Governor
Mount, who IS said to have studied the
testimony presented in the trial
at Georgetown with extreme care.
The result Is. he is satisfied that
the State, having made out its case
against one of the conspirators. has justi-
fled the presumption that it has at least
good prima facie cases against other per-
sons who are under Indictment. He is
convinced that the fugitives would have
fair and impartial trial in Ken
tucky. and hence. it is asserted that he is
inclined to abandon his previous position
OF defiance TO the Constitution of the
United States, and to honor acquisitions
from Governor Beckham for the surrender
Of Taylor and Finley.
These interesting exiles, on learning Of
this probability. will be very apt 10 ap-
ply at once for a safe conduct through
Ohio from Mr.. Hannas man Nash, and

advocate independence. saw the President
Saturday and urged their views upon him.
On the whole, it is pity. This country
ought 10 have Cuba, and before the Porto
Rican infamy was perpetrated by the Ad-
ministration, there was 4 strong party in
the island favorable TO annexation. But.
when our plain duty was violated, and
the Constitution along with it, that party
disappeared from the face of the earth.
Now, it is fair TO presume that we shall
have TO withdraw from Cuba and leave it
to the Cubans, because we have promised
to do so. At the same time, it should be
remembered that that cannot b. done with
safety TO this country without the reten-
tion of American control over the insular
foreign relations.

Her beauty and quaintness are equal to that Of
southern Spain and Morocco. The north Shore
which is the pleasantest part, is within seventy
hours Of New York City. The northern shore OF
Cuba will some day be the Riviera of America.
What Cuba needs above all things is a botanic
garden and forestal and agricultural experimental
station to demonstrate her possibilities. Al
though no longer the brightest jewel in the
crown OF Isabella, she is still the gem Of the
Antilles, the most promising island Of the Ameri-
tropics.
