The - Seeretary of War and the Cabala
-A:Washington correspondent of the Sym
ens& Journal, under date of the 14th inst., re
lates the following : ,
eperal Rawlins especially is delighted. at
the Situation. His synipathies have . been
aroused almoSt to intensity by the Cuban.
Btriigg,le; yet ,here he had to hold still, and
seven-do'more thim that-actively impede
'their nkivements. •Imag,ine, then, if you can,
the delight with which he looks at, the. legal
occasitni afforded the smouldering quarrel be
,tween ~Peru and Spain ~ to- , stop these
Spanish gunboats. I,7e , ,tf?rday the'
General was met coming from Cabinet,
meeting by a journalist here. An inquiry was
made, or rather felt toward, with regard to the
probability of the government letting go its
hold ..on these vessels. "Let them
~go!" was
Ra.wlins,'s reply at once ; not a bit, of it.
We'Ve got 'ensi, and We'll keep 'ere, too." The
Words came out with a snap. The President
is repOrted'to Inure said tke same thing. Tke
le,gal - reason for the seizure ;is that, when com
pleted, they will undoubtedly be used to re
lieve the Spanish fleet in Cuban waters and
allow them to -be sent against Peru, a friendly
nation, in whdie interests we are bound to
prevent harm coining te by acts of uur own
citizens or materials'of war purchased in our
midst. ' o '

The use of 'mtaeral waters 'as a medicinal
agent rapidly increasing;. and bids fair to
become general through the approval', of the
medical profession and the acceptance of the
pane. The :growing demand for these has
opened a large and prosperous business in the
artificial preparation.
The result of use and expefience; hoWever,
have already demonstrated the immense supe
riority of indraral mineral waters over the arti
ficial; the use of the natural occasioning, none
if the unhappy results which are liable to fol.
low from the continued 11:40 :of the artificial
drinks. This, remarkable difference ix
favor of the natural: medicated or
mineral waters is reatarnablyto etpeeted .
Since art, with ail her • panquests arid
laurels justly earned, haS'iteVer'yet unlocked
the secret of natures , peculiar Feonipounding.

waters, and it becomes a matter of interest
and importance to them to learn of the most
