WASIIINGTON, I) C. Juno la.—The
I'resident sent tho following message
to Congress late this afternoon.
7b the Senate and Housecl Reptesen
latices: • .
In my annual message to Congress
at the beginning of Its present session.
I r e fer! to the contest 'which had
then for more than a year existed in
Cuba between a portion of its inhabi
tants and the government of Spain,
and to the feelings and sympathy of
the people and government or. the
United States forlhe people of Cuba,
as for all peoplestruggling for liberty
and self-government, and said that
the contest has at no time assumed
the condition which amounted to war
• in thelsense of International law, or
which would.show the existence of a '
aefad9 political organization Of insur
gents sufficient to justify n recogni
tion of belligerency. During' the six
Months which have passed since the
date of the message, the condition of
the insurgents has not improved, and
the insurrection itself, although not
subdued, exhibits no siges of advance
but seems to be confined toan irregu
lar system of hostilities, carried on by
small band§ of armed men without
concentration thrbugh the woods and
sparsely populated regions of the
island, attacking from ambush con
veyances and small bands of troops,
burning the plantathins and estates
of those not in smypathy with their
cause. But If the insurrection has
not gained ground, it is equally true
that Spain has not surpremed it. The
climate, disease and an occasional
bullet have worked destruction
among the soldiers of Spain, and al
though the Spanish government has
tassesslon of every seaport and town
on the island, they nave not been
able to subdue the hostile feeling
which has driven a considerable num
ber of natives to armed resistance
stgaiost Spain, and still leads them to
endure the danger and privations of
thereaming life of a guerrilla. On
either side the contest has been Con
ducted and is now =tied on with
hunentsblo disregard of human life
and of the usages and practices which
Modern civilization has prescribed as
the necessary process of war. Tule
%ear of Spaniard and Cuban is alike
bringing devastation over fertile re
gions; murderous and revengeful
decrees are issued and executed by
both parties., Count Vaitnaseda and
Colonel Bolton, on the part of Spain,
have each startled ,humanity and
• aroused the indignation of the civili
zed world by the execution each of a
score of prisoners at a time, while
General Questda, the .Cuban chief
cooly and with apparent unconcern,
law admitted the slaughter by his
own deliberative authority, in one
day, of upwards of six hundred and
tatty prisoners of war. A summary
trial, with few, If any escapes from
tonvietion, confirmed by execution,
is the fide of these arrested on either
• side, on suspicion of infidelity to the
cause of the party making the arrest.
• Whatevermay be the sympathies
of the people of the Government of
the United States for the Ill11:40 or Obt
jeCtS for which a part of the people of
Cites are understood. to have put
ilatinseives in armed resistant . ° to
Spain, there eau be no question of
sympathy,ln a conflict carried on by
both parties alike in such barbarous
violation of UM rules of civilized na
tions, and with such combined out
rage upon the plainest principles of
Iminatilty. We cannot discriminate
'hi our tonsure of their mode of con
dinging their contest between Spain
-and Cuba ; each commit the sante
atrocities, and outrage alike these es
tablished rules of war. The property
or many of out Citizens has been de
stroyed or einbargoed ; the lives of
several have been sacrificed; middle
liberties of others havoheen restrain
ed. In every case that •has come to
the knowledge of the Government
an early and earnest demand for rep
aration and Indemnity has been
made, and mast emphatic remon
strances have ixon presented against
the manner in which the strife is con
ducted. and against the reckless dis
regard of human life, the wanton de
sl ruction of material wealth, and' he
einel disregard of established rules of
civilized warfare.
I have, since the beginning of the
present session of Congress, eOIIIIIIU-
Ilieated to the House upon their re
quest an account of the 'steps which
I have taken In the' hope of bring.
lug the conflict to an end, and for
securing to tho people of Cuba the
blessings and right of independence.
The eltbrts thus made have tidied.
hut not wi t hoot assurata* from Spain
that the good others of this Govern
ment might still avail for the oltjtxts
to which they had been addressed.
During tho whole contest the re
inarkable exhibition hits been made
of a number of Cuban's escaping
from the island and avoiding ,the
risks of war, congregating in this
country at a safe distance from the
scene of danger, and endeavoring .to
make war upon our shore-,i—to 'urge
our people into a tight which they
avoid, and to embroil this Govern
ment in complications and possible
hostilities with Spain. Wean scarce
ly be doubted that this last result is
um real object of theso parth..s, al
though carefully covered under the
deceptive and apparcntlY plausible
demand for the recognition of bel
ligerency.
It is stated on 'what I haye reason
I=
Cuban bonds have been prepared to
a large amount; whose payment is
limit° &pelvis', it upon the reeognition
by the United States of Cuban bellig
erency or independence." The object
of making their value thus entirely
mating:od upon the action of this
0 /01:eminent is a subject for serious
reflection in determining the course
to he adopted on the demand thus
made for recognition of belligerency.
The liberal and peaceful principles
adoptisl by the father of his couutry,
and the eminent statesmen of his
day, followed by succeeding Chief
Magistnite.s and the men of their day,
may furnish a safe guide to those of
the United States now charged with
Ilia direction and control of public
safety. From 1759 to 1815, the do.
anhumt thought of our statesmen was
to heel) the United States out of the
wars which were devastating Europe.
•
Time discussion of measures of neu
trality .begins with the State papers
of Mr. Jefferson, when he was Semi
fary of State.
.11e shows that they
were measures of national right us
well as of national duty ; that. inis
guided individual citizens cannot be
favonsl in making war according to
• their own caprice, passions and in ter
ists for foreign sympathy; that the
agents for foreign governments; rec
ognized or unrecognized, cannot be
I.ermitted to abuse ourliospitallty by
usurping the functions of enlisting or
eimipping military or naval forces
within our territory. Washington
innugemted the policy of neutrality
and of absolute separation from aii
foreign entangling, which resulted in
1791 in the first national enactment
fur the observance of neutrality. The
linty of opposition to filibustering has
111.4 . 11 admltted by the President. It
has been one of the constadt cares of
thegovernment of.the United Statesto
prevent pindical expeditioas assfinst
the feeble South Anterimul j republics
from leaving our shorta. In no coun
try are men wantingy, for any enter

as the preliminary qquestion of the at
titude to be ohaerveu by this Govern
ment . . towards the insurrectionary

Monroe concisely expressed the rule
which has controlled the action of
' this Government with reibrenee twit

ing that as soon as the Government
assumed sucks steady and consistent
fOrm as to make the stieme of the
province piebable.therightil to which
they were entitled by the laws of nti
tionsati equal partiesto a civil war be
extended to them. The spirit of ad
herence to this rule of public policy
has been one of the highest honors of
American statesmanship, and has se•
cured to this Government the confi
dence of .tho feeble powers of this
continent, and which induced them
to rely upon its friendship in the ab
sence of all signs of conquest, and to
look to the United States for example
and moral protection. It has given
to this Government a position 'of per
manence and of influence which it
should not abdicate, but which impo
ses upon it the most delicate duties of
right and honor regarding the Amer
ican question,whother thosequestions
affect emancipated colonies orcolonles
still subject to European doniinion.
• The question of belligerency is one
of fact, not to be decided by- syintet
thlim for, or prejudice aping, either
party. The relations between the
pi sent state of the Insurgents must
amount in fact to war in the eyes of
international law. Flghting,though
fierce and protracted, does not alone
constitute war. There must be mil
itary forces, acting in: accordance
with the recognized rules and cus
toms of war, flags of truce, cartels,
exchange of prisoners,itc., &e, and to
justify a recognition of belligerency
there must be above all a de facto
political organization of the insurg
ents sufficient in character and re
sources to constitute, If lett to itself,
a State among the nations mpable of
discharging the duties of a State,
and meeting its just responsibilities.
It may occur as such toward other
powers in . the discharge of its nation
al duties.
Applying the best information
which I have been. able to gather,
whether from official or unofficial
'sources, including very exaggerated
statements which each party gives to
all that may prejudice the oppositd
or give credit to its own 'side of the
question, I am unable to see in the
Cresent condition of the contest in
üba those elements which are ree
quisite to coNitituto war in the sense
of international law. The insurgents
hold no town or city, have no estab
lished seat of government, they have
no prize Courts, no organization for
receiving or _collecting revenue, no
seaport to which a prize may be car
ried, or through which acme can be
bad by 8 foreign power to the limited
interior territory or mountain licit
ness which they occupy. The exist
ence of a Legislature represen ting any
pop,ular constituency is more than
doubtful in its uncertainty. There
is no probable evidence of an election
of any delegates or authorities of any
Government outside the limits of the
camps occupied from day to day by'
moving companies of insurgents.
There is no cornmerm, no trade, ei
ther internal or. foreign, no manifac
tures. The late Commander in Chief
of insurgents having recently come
to the United States, publicly
declared that all commercial
intercourse or trade with the interior
world had been_ utterly cut off, and
he further added, "To day we have
not ten thousand arms in Cuba."
The Foul Fiend.
A story is in circulation to this- ef
fect : As young lady in Roston or
vicinity, had set her heart upon go
in a public ball, and:expected her
lover, who is designated as."J.," and
who boarded with her parents, to ae
company her. Ifer parents objected
to her going to the ball, especially
with "3.." but she sold she was de
termined to go, and, that if she could
not ga with ".1.,". she would "accept
the company of the devil, should he
offer to attend her." On the night or
the ball, she slipped out of the houk
in proper trim, except that she had
to buy boots for the occasion ; and,
having procured these, she was re
turning to put them on, when she
met" J.," MS she suptiosed, and he,
persuaded her to go with him to the
ball at once, and change her boots in
the ladies* room. "J." was her part
ner in the first dance, but afterwards
disappeared until supper time, then
suddenly presented himself, with
rather frivolous excuses for his ab
senee, and invited her down to the
.supper room. Offended by his neg
lect, she said she would return home
at once, and lie attended her thither.
Very little was said by the party
until they hail nearly reached the
house when "J." informed his min-
pinion that he was not gol ng in ; and
presenting her with a beautiful pearl
handled knife, and asking her when
she used it to think of him, left her.
The girl- on telling her mother all
that hia l yassed, was astonished at
•learnlng that ".1." had not been out
of the house shim early nightfall, and
had gone to bed before the hour at
which the ball begun. The girl re
fused to believe it, but after some
discussion, her mother took her to
"J.'s" room, and there he was seen
calmly and profoundly sleeping.—
Nothing more could be said, and the
daughter .retired for the night. A
strange sound shortly afterward
I brought the mother to the girl's
chamber, and she was found with her
throat cut with the penknife given
to her by her comnanion.at the ball.
She lingered until noon, and then
died, declaring that, rememberitig
what she had said in her determina
tion to go to the dance, she used the
knife because she was overwhelmed
by horrible suspicions as to who it
was that, persmating ".1., 1 ' became
her partner. The English journals
copy this story with due grnvity,and
the Poll Mall Gazette siva :
" Whether it is true or not,lt will or
ought to make young ladies in future
more cautious In their language ; nor
is It half so strange or horrible as an
event which Is stated to have Occur
red at a country ball' in England a
few years ago, which we have no
reason to believe is a pure fiction. A
young lady being blamed by her
mother for refusing to dance with a
gentleman possessing vast wealth,
but who WRS personally disagreeable
to tier, remarked that 'she would us
soon dance with the devit.' , She had
'hardly uttered the words when, a
gentleman clothe& in black stood
before her, and offered his arm.—
With a reproachful glance at her
mother, which the latter never for
got, she accepted the invitation of the
stranger, with whom she commenced
to waltz. Tee °thereon pim, by some
strange instinct, cooed dancing, and
all eyes in the room were turned on
the young lady and her mysterious
partner us faster and faster they
whirled to the sound of the music—
still faster—until they almost became
invisible in their unnatural activity.
Then atme a noise liken clap of thun
der, then a sulphurous smell ; the
gentleman in black was missing, and
the young lady dead on the floor."

Henry Ward Beecher preached on
"Late Hours and Unfruitful Works
of Darkness." Hesaid "If you want
to make the ruin of a child sure give
him liberty after dark. You cannot
do anything nearer to insure his
damnation than to let him have
erty to go where he will without
restraint. After dark he will be sure
to get into communication with pep-
Pie that will undermine all his good
qualities. Ido not like to speak to
parents about their children. Their
child cannot, will not lie, when his'
tongue is like a bonded bow ; he will
not drink, when them is not a salbon
within a mile of his father's house
where he is not as well known as ono
of itsown decanters ; ho never does
iniquitous things, when he is reeking
in filth. Nineteen of every twenty

be wounded by it. Them is nothing
more important than for a child to be
home at night; or, if he is abroad
you should be with him. If he is too
see any sights, or take any pleasure
them is nothing that he should see
that you should not see with him.
It is not merely that the child should
lie broken down; but there are thet's
that never ought to find a passage

never be got rid of, if Once p&rnitted

coats that will never be effaced:
There are men who have heard a
salacious song, and they never will
forget it. They will regret having
heard it to the end of their lives. I
do not believe in a child's seeing life,
as it is called, with its damnable lust
and wickednms, to have all his imag
ination set on fire with.the flames of
hell. Nobody goes through this tire
but they are burned, burned; and
they can't get rid of the sums."
WILLIAM L. SToxf: recently de
livered an oration before the Meta
Delta. Chi fraternity. in New York.
In the course of his remarks he gave
the following bit of information con
cerning the disposition which was
made of the rebel archives at the
col
lapse of the rebellion. "On the mor
ning of Mr. Davis' capture," says
Mr. Stone, "David Tilghman waited
upon him at his bedside, and said:
'Mr. Davis, by this map yottmay see
that the enemy is here, such snit such
is the situation of the roads. If you
come with me you will be able to
leave the country in safety. If you
do not, you will be captured in five
hours.' To Mr. Davis replying curt
ly, 'that he knew his own, business
best,' Tilghman continued, 'Very,
well, sir; I have been entrusted with
the treasure and archives, and pro
pose to secure them, even at the peril
of the Itho of your favor and of my
life. I shall start at once by the route
I have marked out.' •
The result is well known. In less
than five hours Mr. Davis was a pris
oner, but the archives were safe.
When, a few weeks after, in the 1.0-
M:lSC:int the forest,Tfighinan learned
that all was lost, lie alone, and with.
his own hands, buried the treasure
and archives, and unless, during the
four days that clapsad between part
ing with me and his untoward death
he revealed the spot,. the secret as to
the whereabouts of the archives is
forever buried, and as long as they
shall be kept from the ken of man,
so long shall the story be a monument
to our brother's unswerving fidelity.
This is the true history of the archives
of the Southern Confederacy, idtho'
rumors are from time to time set
afloat of their being now in the vaults
of this bank, and now of that."'

them. The panic among the people
was terrible and many lost ull pros
of mind and were unable to save
themselves. Others in fif.prtir made
no effort to save themselves and were
lost. Some of the Turks, in the spir
it of fatalism peculiar to the remand
religion, shut themselves up in burn
ng houses, refuSed assistance and
met death without a murmur.
Twenty-five hundred personsr were
burned to death or killed by ailing
walls. Many more are missinfg.
The McLeod Murder.
Particulars of the recent horrible
double murder near Fayetteville,
North Carolina, have just come to
hand. Neill McLeod, who, with his
family of grown up children and an
old batchelor brother, reside . in a
remote corner ofCumberlimd county,
a short distance west of Fayetteville,
were on the 2:sth ult., startled by the
appearance at the door of their dwel
ling of three men, dis"uised by hav
ing their faces blacked. Before any
,words could be exchanged the nail
tins fired on the ilicLeods ' killing
them both almost instantly One of
the girls made her escape from the
house and ran toward a neighbor's ;
the other daughter and the mother
attempted to run ula stairs, and were
tired on and both wounded—the
mother in the arm, and the daughter
in the arm and breast. A son of
Neill McLeod, who was in u field
hard by,-hearing the firing, raw to,
the house, had, on hLs approach, was
fired on by the men, reeeivingfi ft een
buckshot in his body. The robbers
then, after cutting, the - wounded
daughter about the head with a
bowie knife, making several ugly
wounds, pillaged the house, obtain
ing two or three hundred :dollars
in money, a considerable quantity of
Jewelry clothing and other articles,
with which they made off. The
daughter who escaped gave the alarm,
but all attempts to capture the mdr
derers have thus far proved unavail
ing. Tho murdered victims were
both men of intelligence, and had be
fore the war been wealthy, and
though stripped of much of their
property, were still in quite indepen
dent circumstances. The latest in
formation from the family states
that the mother and daughter;
though very palnfrilly wounded, Will
probably recover. The sonseondition
