PERPONSIBILITY FOR THE EXECUTION
OF SPEARMAN AND WYETU IN CUD A.
From the K. T. World.
The readers of thin jonrnal will remember
the earnestness with which, in the month of
April laHt, we urged the administration at
Washington to warn ly a proclamation the
thoughtless and nnrefleoting, and even the
reflecting portion of the country, that Presi
dent Grant would not countenance or en
courage, but would discountenanoe and pre
vent, all movements within the United States
of a hoHtile charaoter, in respect to Cuba, on
the part of those who, unmindful of their
own and their country's fame, presnmed thus
to disregard the lawa of the land and our
treaty obligations. What we said then suffi
ciently displays our motive. We apprehended
that the boyish utterances of Grant about
"Free Cuba," the extravagant conduct of
Rawlins, the witless blundering of Ores
well on the same subject, and unmis
takable manifestations of sympathy else
where, would make many persons think
that the administration would wink
at piratical schemes against Cuba, the
result of which would expose our young men
to the terribly quick and severe punishments
whioh nations are prone to inflict on all who
take insurreotionary part against the govern
ment. The administration refused to issue a
proclamation, and the official correspondence
respecting Cuba, lately transmitted to the
Senate, gives the reasons therefor as assigned
in a note to the Spanish Minister of April 17,
1809. This note bears, we think, evidence
on its face of a reason, not assigned in the
writing, which made the issue of smch a pro
clamation an impossibility at that time. The
reason was the willingness of the President
to see aotfl done which the proclamation
would tend to prevent. We do not aocuse
President Grant of a willingnoss to see the
lawB or treaty pledges set at defianoe. His
greenness then was such that he probably
bad no just perception of such matters, any
more than he had of revenue matters when
lie made, or attempted to make, Mr. A. T.
Stewart Secretary of the Treasury. The
xeasons for refusal given in the note are that
when President Fillmore acted, in 1851, there
were undisturbed peace and quiet on the
island, but a threatened piratical movement
from this country. In April last the attitude
was reversed. There were rebellion and in
surrection in the inland, but no impending
invasion from outside. Therefore, no need
of a proclamation. And yet, in subsequent
sentences of the note there is an admission
that unlawful enterprises against Cuba, insti
gated by those engaged in the insurrection,
may be undertaken, since such ventures
"always and everywhere occur with the oppor
tunity." Now, we submit that to a reflecting and
just President the existence of the great first
cause of illegal enterprises from our shores
to wit, an insurrection in the island would
have been sufficient inducement for an effort
to discourage the illegal aots on our own soil
which were as sure to come as effect to follow
cause. And so the result proved; for at about
the very time the President was refusing the
application of the Spanish Minister, an expe
dition was being organized in New York,
whioh did set sail from this city, and ended
most painfully for certain persons on board
the vessel called the Grapeshot. We refer to
the execution at Santiago de Cuba, June 17,
18G9, by the Spanish authorities, of Speak
man and Wyeth, for which we can but think
the administration is in large degree re
sponsible. The facts respecting Speakman, as detailed
in the offloial correspondence before us, are
that he was a native of Aurora, Indiana, aged
thirty-three years; that in New York, during
the latter port of April, he shipped as sailor
on the schooner Orapesnot, bound on an
honest voyage (as he tmpposed) for Jamaioa.
lie went on board at Hunter's Point, and in
the lower harbor of New York the schooner
took on board from a steam-tug fifty armed
Cubans and munitions of war. He then first
suspected a dishonest voyage, protested, and
asked the captain to pnt him ashore in the
tug; , but the latter refused, insisting the
schooner would go direct to Jamaica. When
off the eastern end of Cuba, the Cubans took
possession of the schooner and of the cap
tain, who at last promised to run her
to land at Bailiquiri. This was done; and the
men and cargo landed. Speakman wished to
return to the schooner, but the captain
ordered and put him ashore. The men moved
inland; soon had an encounter with Spanish
troops; their leader,' Smith, was killed; and
then the Cubans took to their heels, leaving
a few Americans defenseless. Speakman de
clared, just before his execution, that when
put ashore he had no gun, but picked up one,
and. having never fired a shot, gave himself
up soon after to two unarmed men he met,
He . was taken to Santiago de Cuba,
subjected to a private examination be
fore tne liscai in presonoe oi an
interpreter, declared an enemy of Spain
taken witn arms in ms hands, and, in con-
f ormitv with the decree of Captain-General
Dulce of March 24, lHU'.i, was executed within
fourteen hours. In a letter to his wife,
written just before his execution, Speakman
said the owners of the Granouhot "have taken
my life." He bids her find them out; get a
"good lawyer; he will prove a contract
between the owners and the Cuban Junta to
land the Cubans in Cuba, Aud then recover
damages of the former. Speakman insisted
that he did not embark against Cuba volun
tarily, but was tho victim of a collusion
liutween the Junta and tho Grnpeshot.
On the same schooner was Wyeth, from
this city, who was induced by Antonio A.
Jimenez, the originator of the expedition
under the Cuban Junta, to go to Falmouth.
Jamaioa, free of charge, for the benefit of his
health, lie was put ashore witn tipoakman,
Subsequently taken prisoner and executed.
Now. a proclamation of warning from Pre
sident Grant would very likely have arrested
the attention of Speakman and Wyeth, and
doubtless hundreds of other Americans, and
thus prevented the Cuban Junta from de
sliding them to their terrible death in Cuba
In respect to the Grapeshot, it is believed
She was subsequently wrecked and became a
total loss; but nothing has ever been done by
the administration to arraign and punish the
captain or the owners, or the members of the
Cuban Junta, for getting up and affording the
means of a military expedition or enterprise
against Cuba; and thin, too, in the face of the
dvinff words of Speakman, that they allured
him to his fate!
' We hope the Democrats in Congress will
not rest till they ascertain how President
Grant vindicates himself and his administra
tion, if at all. in this matter.
The administration, to be sure, directed
(leneral Sickles to institute a reclamation in
Madrid acaiuBt the Spaniuh Government for
"full reparation to the families or representa
tives of Charles Speakman and of Albert
Wyeth for their murder by the Spanish an-1
tborities, which was done; but the Minister
ofroreign Affairs, Mr. Suvela, rejected the
reclamation, after obtaining a full report of
tho facts from the Captain-General of Cuba.
In his note to Mr. Sickles, October 11, 1HC!,
the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affair
says:
"The victim himself Indicates where tho resrwn&t-
blllty lien, aud adlreMliir lilmnrir at the. lust mo
ment to the object of his greatest affection, com
pletely exempt the Hpnulnh Government and accuses
the (.hipowiicrs and the Cuban Junta, who hare
di'privml lilm of his life,, and mentions the oontraot
tolandthnao men In Cuba. The shipowners and
the Cuban Junta, whose mission Is notorious, reside
In the territory of tho United Btatoa, and It is most
Just that the Government, following the suggestion
of the unfortunate Spctikman, should endenvor to
exaet of them the responsibility which the last
111 of the accused throws upon them, and npon
them exclusively. A esse Is Impossible, therefore,
In which the Irresponsibility of the Spanish authorities
ceuia ue more cieany proven."
We cannot agree to all the inferences which
Mr. Silvela draws from the admitted facts of
the case as to the liability of his Government.
But this has nothing to do with the duty of
President Grant to search out and punish the
ship-owners and the members of the Cuban
Junta who have deprived two American citi
zens of their lives. The Grapeshot must have
been a registered vessel. She cleared regu
larly at this port for Jamaica. There can be
no difficulty in the way of the administration
to the ascertaining who are her owners, who
her agents, who chartered her to the Cuban
Junta, and the names of the Junta and the
captain who conspired together to thrust
Speakman and Wyeth into the insurrectionary
bandits of Cuba, and thenoe into the avenging
hand of the Spanish authorities at bantiago.
HOW THE TARIFF "PROTECTS"
THE
WOOLLEN INTEREST.
from thr jr. T. Timt.
We have recently presented the facts in
regard to the deplorable condition of some of
our large Industrial branches, such as the
boot and shoe manufacture, the woollen in
terest, and others. We had expected from
the Tribune, as the organ of high taxation,
some defense of the unequal taxation on
these great industries.
The country is groaning under the inequali
ty or weight of these burdens, but thus far no
word of excuse or explanation from the high
tariff organs has been presented to show why
Congress should nearly dostroy these impor
tant trades by absurd taxation. Now, how
ever, a voice comes forth from the very par
ties who are so vigorously "protected the
manufacturers themselves to disclaim, in the
name of all that is reasonable, any more of
such wolf -like "protection," and this com
plaint the Tribune is obliged to listen to,
One, whom that journal describes as widolv
known as "a veteran, eminent and success
ful manufacturer," Mr. Harris, of Rhode
Island, writes to our contemporary that his
business woollen manufacture is suffering
terribly from "over protection," and he then
proceeds to explain his dtflloultieH precisely as
we had set them lorth, in regard to the wholo
woollen interest, the day previous in the
Timet.
The simple facts being that we grow very
little fine wools in the United States; that fine
nap goods cannot be inaderhere without an
admixture of fine foreign wools, and in con
sequence Mr. Harris or any other manufac
turer must either confine himself to coarse
woollens, or if he manufacture fine goods,
must import fine wools at a duty of some 100
per cent. But fine woollen goods, manufac
tured abroad, already pay only fifty per cent,
duty; so that, in the epigrammatic words of Mr,
Harris, be is, under this tariff, "lifty per
cent, worse off than under free trade. More
over, as he correctly states the case, the fine
wools whioh are exoluded from this country
by the tariff enter into manufactures abroad,
and make them still oneaper and still more
able to compete with our own.
Mhe duty acts, too, as a bounty on smug
gling, and, as any New England manufactu
rer knows, quantities of the foreign wools
are now carried in bond over this country to
Canada, where they are manufactured, and
undoubtedly come back here as smuggled
goods. The result is, as this manufacturer
states, that the whole business is depressed.
and the imports of foreign woollens have
increased two millions the past year, while
our exports are down to a paltry one hundred
and sixty-nine thousand dollars, against one
hundred and thirty-nine millions from Eng
land during the same period.
The consolation which the mount admin
inters to its suffering mend is not or an en
livening order, and though designed to be
practical, is, we are compelled to say, not
entirely based on tacts. Thus, Mr. Hams
is coolly told that he cannot get protection
exactly as he likes it for his own faotory. lie
has it at the rate of ntty per oent. on woollen
goods; he must not complain if the farmers
demand it at one hundred per cent, on fine
wools. "The duty," says the Iribune, 'bene
fits the Arnerioan wool grower, and incites
him to rear more sheep and produce more
wool than if it were taken off. And you may
talk till you are blind, without convinc
ing the farmers that the tact is other
wise. "We have more sheep and grow
more wool now than we ever aid before,
and this we rejoice in." Now, Mr. Harris, if
he has the opportunity, will undoubtedly
nay that as a patriotic citizen be might re
joice, if the depression of his own business
promoted the welfare of suoh a large class ef
agriculturists as the wool growers; but he is
compelled to call the Tribune'! attention to
certain stern facts in the statistics of wool
growing. The average price of wool the past
year was almost the lowest ever reached,
being about forty-three cents, currenoy, per
pound for medium wools. Ironi 1827 to
18C2, it was 42J cents, gold, or about one
third higher. In 1808, the average price of
Ohio wools was U.V21 cents, gold. This cer
tainly does not look like "protecting" the
wool-growing interest. If a tariff of 100 per
cent, accomplishes this, and almost ruins the
wool-grower, what will the additional - taxa
tion, which the Tribune will doubtless urge as
a remedy, do towards tho same end r
Mr. Harris will probably also call the Tri
Ivne't attention to an interesting document
issued by the Department of Agriculture, the
reports for March and April, 18(il). Some seven
pages ore devoted in this publication to the
condition of sheep industry lu 171 counties of
21 different States, We have space for but
few extracts, but thev are of the cheering oha
raoter indicated by the following: Genesee
county, New York, "decrease of sheep eighty
per cent.;'" Onondaga county, "one-fourth
sold;" Butler county, Pennsylvania, "one.
third sold;" Ohio county, , Western
Virginia, "forty per cent.;" Pennisoot
county, Missouri, "forty per . , oent,
sold;" Dubuque county, Minnesota, "fifty
per cent, slaughtered:" and similar aooounts
from other States, so that the Commissioner
of Agriculture estimates the decrease of
sheep, during 1808, at four millions, and
other authorities put it higher. So much for
our "having more sheep and growing more
wool than ever before," whioh the 'iWbune
"rejoices in." We suspect the Western sheep
farmers do not share in this hilarity. The
connection between the high tariff and the
low price of wool is
clear, and if the Tribune
on it, it can rendilv ob
desires information
tain it among the manufacturers of New Eng
land.
A FEDERAL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM.
Fromthttr. Y. Bun.
All the telegraph lines in Great Britain
were transferred on tne 1st oi Jann.iry to
the Government. They are honeoforth to be
worked on a system analogous to that of the
Post Office. For a message of twenty wordi,
trannmitted from any one station in the
country to any other, the charge will be one
shilling equal to about twenty-four cents in
specie here. The purchase of the telographs
by the Government was not resolved npon
without long and careful consideration as to
the results whioh would probably follow it.
The controlling argument in its favor appears
to have been the fact that the rate charged
for messages undr the management of in
corporated companies was mnoh higher than
that at which it was believed they oould be
profitably transmitted under Government
control.
A similar measure, having for its object the
purchase of the telegraph lines in the United
htates bytnereaerai uto vera mem, is now
being urged upon Congress. It is a perni
cious scheme, which might do in a monarchy
but will not answer in a republio; but sup
ported as it is by influential Republicans, it is
not impossible the bill may become a law.
The policy of the National Government shows
each year a growing tendency toward centra
lization. The establishment of a postal tele
graph will be a very long step in the direction
which this policy so strongly favors; and on
this account, if on no other, it merits the op
position of all who believe that a concentra
tion of the governing power In the Federal
rulers will prove perilous to the liberty of the
people, and Injurious to the publio welfare.
The perpetuation of our free institutions de
pends very greatly upon the freedom of indi
vidual enterprise and the perfection of looal
self-government; and as the proposed Federal
telegraph system is a decisive movement to
smother private enterprise as well as to
strengthen and increase the power of the in
dividuals who may happen to exercise the na
tional authority, we are heartily opposed to it.
It must be admitted that the management
of our telegraphs, if it should become in any
sense a monopoly, would be productive of
more or less evil; and the advocates of the
postal telegraph argue that it is better to
place such a monopoly in the hands of the
Government than to leave it under the con
troi oi private parties. iut it seems to us
that the evil which the proposition involves
on account of being a measure of centrauza
tion, combined with the corruption which
would be inseparably connected with tho
management of the telegraphs by Govern
ment olhcialH, ailords reasons which far out
weigh any urged in support of the bill now
before the House of Representatives.
Can any one doubt that after the contem
plated change the telegraph officials would
serve the interest of the purtr and its mana
gers npon whose favor their places would
depend, rather than that of the publio, when,
ever these, through the action of the authori
ties, might chance to be difl'erent? How
could a more complete and thorough system
of espionage be devised ? Every despatch
that passed over the wires could be read at
Wuhhington, should the 1 resident or any
member of the Cabinet so desire; the same
opportunity would be open to wirepullers of
the governing party in every town; and suoh a
power could not exist for any length of time
without finding some one to use it and to
abuse it. Certainly no Republican would
trust a despatch to the telegraph when in the
hands of Democrats, nor any Democrat when
in the hands of the Republicans.
Of course the people would not bear this;
and there is no advantage in doing now what
inevitably would have to be undone before
many years have passed. We want no new
staff of officials added to the pay-rolls of the
nation, with perhaps a new department or
bureau at Washington. The people already
enjoy a sufficient number of publio absurd
ties not to require the additional absurdity of
seeing all the acting telegraph operators in
the land removed once in every four years on
the incoming of a new administration. If
we cannot have cheap telegraphing unless
accompanied by all these evils, it is better to
go without it.
BUTLER ON THE WRONG TACK.
From the If. T. Herald.
Ever since the death of Thad. Stevens the
place of leader of the House has been a con
tested point. It has produoed as many dis
sensions in the lower house as the votes of
the seven Republican Senators for Andy
Johnson s acquittal did in the banate. Butler
and Schenck last session fought with the
vigor of Big Bethel and Vienna oombined
over it, but Butler far overlapped Schenok,
who was driven to the wall in such utter dis
order that he has never attempted again to
come up to the soratch. Bingham then ad
vanced to claim the honor, but Butler with a
single epithet disabled him, and he has of
late made only a very slim show of fighting.
Garfield and Logan, though both good
fighters, have so far shown but little disposi
tion to wrestle with the champion of mei.
and Banks has prudently refrained. Butler
has therefore confirmed his right in some
degree to the leadership, and his movement
in the Virginia bill shows that he can crack
his whip over his followers with as good
effect as "Old Thad." himself ever did. This
is an excellent success for a man who eleven
years a no was a bright light in the Demo-
cratio party, reflecting the brilliant rays of
fifty-two successive votes on Jeff. Davis for
the Presidency, and who less than five years
ago was bo securely ensconced in a bottle by
the President, whose party representatives he
presumes to rule, that it was a wonder he
ever came out unsmothered. it is a urmiam
showing, and proves that Butler has nerve,
ambition, and brains.
But his action of late strongly indioatesthat
he has not judgment. He undertakes to smooth
over the nxures in Mr. Uawes Epeecn, ar
raigning the economy of the administration,
WUCll, UM kilt) OCM tUi Ui bu HUiUlulDUIIUVU,
Mr. Cutler should take just the other tack.
General Grant's expressed policy, and that of
the Republican party, is eoonomy and re
trenchment, and if his officials have failed in
carrying out that policy they should be called
to acoount. From Mr. Dawes' statement in
his reply to Mr. Butler on Thursday, it would
seem that the i'resident nimseu aid not dis
countenance the extravaganoe of the Depart
ments. Then he, too, should be brought
back to the terms of his party polioy. It will
not t-top the expenditure any sooner to put
the responsibility of it on Andy lounsons
shoulders, nor will the oountry avoid the
effects of ' the dart by having its bead hid in
the sand like an' ostrich. Let the estimates
be ventilated, and if they are too large, as
Mr.1 Dawes shows them to be, let them be out
down to agree with President Grant's original
policy of retrenchment. As the presumed
leader of the House Butler should keep an
"eye single" to that one policy of economy.
The figures of Grandfather Welles, like G(j'rije
Washington, cannot He, nor can they be
made to lie by General Butler exoept ana
heavy weight on the conscience of Seoretary
Robeson. It would be better if Butler would
let Welles alone.
In addition to the true economy of the
matter, Butler would evince more judgment
in keeping his friends together than in slash
ing right and left among them. At the pre
sent rate he is digging out tho foundations of
his party in the House like a Dutch Gap, and
if he goeson he will probably soon blow them
up like the powder boat at r ort t isher. And
the two exploits no doubt will have even less
effect for harm on his Deinocratio enemy
than the Dutch Gap and Fort Fishor exploits
had. His way of splitting up his own friends
is sport to the Demooratio boys but death to
the xtepubiioan frogs, llis leadership is yet
to be confirmed by some wise and statesman
like stand. At .the nrosent rate, before he
comes to that point he will either have no
leadership or else no party to lead.
DOGS AND WOMEN.
Frm tht JT. F. Triiun.
Philadelphia is well known as the one snot
where charity disports herself with peoufiar
zest. Unce a year the spirit of her guardian
angel, Penn, descends into and troubles the
social waters, and the sick and suffering rush
into the upheaval to be cured. This year,
however, the healing mountains are open only
to dogs. Dogs have suddenly been discovered
to be the most preoious heritage and wards of
the I'hiladolphia public 'Ine quality of
mercy is there being strained for their bene
fit to the consistence of Ilymettoan honey.
Verses in their honor are freely circulated in
the publio schools, and to every ohild who
commits them a reward is given of the photo
graph of some notable cur. The ladies (God
bless them !) who lead this popular movement
have petitioned Councils for .125,000 to erect
an Asylum, or, more properly speaking, a
House of Entertainment for such dogs as may
have lost their way while pursuing their daily
walks abroad. "ihis establishment, one
of the fair ministers of mercy tells us, "is
designed to serve as a temporary home,
where dogs of the nobler kinds can be com
fortably cared for until reclaimed by their
maaters." The Mayor, who is reported to be
of an amiable and chivalrie nature, lends a
favorable ear to the project. Pending its ac
ceptance by Councils a messenger has been
despatched to London to obtain plans and
specifications of a similar building in that
city.
As it is not expedient, however, that mangy
and underbred curs of the street should be re
ceived into this establishment, it was resolved
by the ladies that, for these dogs of the baser
sort, death was tho most benignant fate. They
therefore have petitioned that the killing of
them should bo confided to their own fair
hand, rather than to those of the policemen.
Which petition has been granted. Whether
they intend to use chloroform or simple
anodynes in the operation, we have not yet
been lniormed.
Mr. Bergh is, we believe, responsible for
this gush of sweet emotion in our sister city.
llis downright method of preventing oruolty
to animals by rendering it a penal offense is
too rough and masculine for the female mind
to accept. .besides, as we all know, the domi
nant sex no sooner get hold of a theory or
principle than they be-lrill and be-ruffle it,
precisely as they would a dress. Worthy Mr.
Bergh himself would no doubt be perplexed,
could he witness the fervent zeal with which
they pursue this dog mania, and the senti
ment, the flowers of poesy, with which they
nave embellished it.
They will in all probability be suooossf id.
A strong effort was made in Councils to draw
attention to the condition of ISodiord street,
region whose horrors of human destitution
exceed those of the Five Points at their worst
days, and also to the fact that seventy-six
thousand vagrants men and women last
year sought shelter in the station-houses for
want of a place to sleep. But the dog-bitten
ladies, in their sweet enthusiasm, were deaf
and blind to all protests. It is probable that
their Temporary Home for the nobler breeds
of curs, therefore, will be built.
