• THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
tit! shall soon see what the disposition is of
arniGnew Councils in . regard to the prosecution
of the work upon the .new buildings provided
for by existing city legislation, and whether
tike improvements so much needed and so
'badly called for are to be commenced without
farther delay, or whether there is to be further
lorst.4lu.tti9n P 3 F4 l 4ttcr urn! ,
buildings for our
Cdurts and the offices connected with them—
for the security of public records and evidences
of title, and of rights of property, and for the
requirements of the several departments of the.
City Government, in which a population at the
present time of perhaps nine hundred thousand
people is concerned—a larger population and
ktrger, interests than are embraced , in several of
the States of the Union—are necessary, is, we
believe, almost universally conceded. The
question is not about the propriety or even the
necessity of providing larger and better and
safer accommodations for these purposes, but
the ever-recurring and almost inevitable differ
ences that arise from diversity of opinion, and
interest, too, in regard to location. .We think
we hazard nothing in the assertion that but for
such differences , these buildings would now be
inp progress of erection, if not actually com
pleted; though for our own part we hardly
regret that delay has occurred to the present
time, for we think the public mind is now pre
pared for the erection of buildings more
entirely suitable for the purpose than it ever
has been before, and if it shall result in securing
for the city of Philadelphia the spacious and
superb edifice agreed upon by the Building
Commission, we shall think that all things have
worked together for good. •
But we hope, that procrastination and delay
may now cease, and that the work may be im
mediately commenced. If it shall be delayed
until all men shall think alike, or until the in-.
, Wrests, or supposed interests of all shall be ac
commodated, it is very plain that it will be•
postponed forever. Let Councils therefore act
upon it decisively, and at once. •We believe
that what has been done has met with very
general approbation. So far as the press has
spoken the great preponderance of opinion has
been in favor of Independence Square. It has
not been quite unanimous, but when do we
ever see perfect unanimity? We know, too,
that the press, having generally their own
quarters near the location, are charged with
being interested in advocating it. Bat are
those who desire a different location perfectly
free from such motives, or are .they immacu
late ? Let them examine themselves before
they cast aspersions of this kind. The most
of the newspapers, it is true, are in that part of
the town, and why ? Because it is the most
central for general business. Besides,we think
it is not claiming too much to say that the con
ductors of the press are as likely to be actuated
by disinterested motives as those who impugn
them, or as any body, else. The very reasons
that induce the proprietors of newspapers to,
cluster about the centre' of general business
should ali9Onduce the public authorities to
erect the public buildings there ; and as to pri
vate interests, if they are to have any weight,
there are as many persons concerned in the
value of property about Independence Square as
any where else, and far more, too. But whose
interests are thus concerned ? Not those only of
the people living there, by any means. The pro
perty from the Delaware to Seventh street is
owned by people living in all sections of the
-city, a very large proportion of it being rented
by the occupants. People of all parts of the
city are interested in real estate there.
But we dismiss this thought and come briefly
to.the only consideration that should have any
weight on the question, and that is, the public
convenience. How is that to be promoted?
We say by erecting the buildings on Inde
pendence ;ignore. it is the best for all existing
arrangements; and probably for all future ar
rangements. It is not the geographical centre
of the city, it is true; but it is the nearest to
the centre of where the men of all kinds of
business congregate every day, and where it is
the most convenient for them to attend to any
business, either in the Courts or in any public
offices, during the business hours of the day.
The centre of population and the centre of
business may be two different things. Churches
and literary and scientific institutions should
be near where people live, but the more
business is concentrated, the more may be
transacted in a given time.
But even in respect to the centre of popula
tion we are confident in saying that Inde
pendence Square is the most convenient of ac
cess of any place named or to be had ; and that
is' the main point. Is it- the most convenient
to get to ? We say it is. The railways go
past it, or near it, or point to it. We think it
ismore convenient for citizens of Manayunk,
or Roxberough, or Germantown, to go to In
dependence Square than to Penn Square. It
certainly is for those of Kensington, Rich
mend, Frankford, Holmesburg, and all that
sdictiou, and for the greater part of the southern
portion of the city. A larger portion of the
people pf the city, of all parts, can go, to or
near Independence Square for one railway fare
than to any other available place ; and, as we
have;already said, more people do go there,
and probably always will go there, or near it,
in the pursuit of their different avocations,
than to any other part ,of Philadelphia. If
these things be so, the conclusion Is inevitable
that Independence Square is by all means the
piite for the offices, and 'the courts, and the
egg• government. We hope it may be settled,
and the work tommenced without further
ICRIt NATIONAL RAILROAD.
The new proje'ct of an air-line road between
Philadelphia and New York, bas just been
made public and naturally attracts much' at
tention. Various plans have been Mooted,
from time to time, looking to increased travel
ing facilities between the two great cities. of
America, and with the enormous' growth both
of Ne* York and Philadelphia, it lies long
been evident that the Camden and Amboy
Company could not hope to retain the exclu
sive control of this communication. A number
of limal charters, which haver been obtained
from time to time, have now been combined
under one organization, and the National Rail
road may be regarded as a certainty of no dis-
tant accomplishment.
The new route furnishes a remarkably direct
line between the two cities; running north from
Philadelphia, through Bucks county, to Yard
leyville, where' it' has yet to secure a right of
way across the Delaware, an existing law of
Ne* jersey piohibiting the construction of
railroad bridges over that river, except by
special legislative enactment. This difficulty
overconie, the road enters New Jersey, within,
a shot t distance Of Trenton, and runs north
through. Mercer, Somerset, Union and Essex
counties, through Newark, and thence on to
New Yolk. The distance is said to be four or
live miles shorter than the present line of the
old road, and as it is intended to lay the track
with steel rails and to cross all towns and vil-
loges above or below grade, it is believed that
fast through-trains eau be nut from Philadel
phia, to New "Yolk in about two hours! The
inanagentent of this new enterprise is chiefly in
lie bawls of Well-known Philadel ado gentle
nen, and is based upon the ground that there
s to be business enough iu the future for two
competing lines.
Assuming that this air-line road will be built,
there is no doubt that its construction will add
still snore energy to the improvements which
the Camden and Amboy toad has been making,
for several years past, for the accommodation
of travelers. That corporation has been most
industriously and sensibly preparing for com
petition by straitening its road, increasing the
Comfort of its cars, file speed and regularity of
its trains, the number and style of
its way-stations, and, now that the
National Railroad has fairly taken the
field, there will no doubt be still more
strenuous efforts made to retain business by
deserving it, the best of all foundations for
permanent success. We might indicate a few
points which merit the immediate attention of
the Camden and Amboy Company, using that
term as the generic title of the several roads ;
but we should probably only state what has
already engaced the notice of the corporation.
We will only refer, in passing, to the Courtland
street terminus of the old line, which is one of
the most melancholy and uninviting spots in
New York. We do not know whether it is
under the control of the Company or not. If
it is, it ought to be made accessible for Ladies
and tolerable for all passengers who have to
make use of it.
A uew first-class - railroad, •traversing
_the
beautiful counties of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey through which the National
Railroad is to pass, cannot fail to produce im
portant results, in extending the range of the
suburban and rural residences of those doing
business in Philadelphia and New York,a con
sideration of great importance to all large
cities ; while the increasing business facilities
afforded by a greater choice of routes and
hours for the mercantile community must, be
mutually advantageous to all concerned. Com
petition will keep both roads alive to the ne
cessity of meeting every reasonable want of the
traveling community, and both local and
through traffic between Philadelphia and New
York will be increased by this important • ad
dition to our internal improvements.
We have more than once urged that while
the Metropolitan Polio should be thoroughly
Republican in its organization, it should. be
placed in the hands of such a Board as will
keep it above the suspicion of corrupt or im
proper political uses. These two propositions
are considered very inconsistent by those who
are so accustomed to usethe Republican party
as a mere, machine for partisan purposes, that
they cannot realize the possibility of a thor
oughly Republican Board of Police Commis:-
sioners, who shall, at the same time, be
elevated above the reach of their secret and
selfish manipulations.
We understand • that the framers of
the police bill, differing with us
in opinion as to the principle of
making the Board of 'Commissioners wholly
Republican, have thought \it best to award
one-fifth of the force to the Democracy; or, at
least, to give that party one-fifth of the Board.
We shall not quarrel with this conclusion, al. :
though we doubt its expediency. It is also
understood that the Democratic Commissioner
is to be selected by the united voice of the
Republican members from Bhiladelphia, which
may result in securing a respectable man for
the position. The Board, as we understand it
mapped . will stand thus :
First District—William Pollock.
'Second District,-(Demoerat). •
Third District—George Truman.
Fourth District—Peter Widener.
Fifth District—John Rittenhouse.
Of these gentlemen, one or two,--we should
name Messrs. Truman and Pollock, the former,
especiaily,heing a most satisfactory selection,
and the lattbkrepresenting large business inter
ests and possessing excellent qualifications for
his proposed duties,—have that secured public
status which will commend them, at the out
set, to popular confidence.' The others may
make equally good Commissioners, but the
public have none of that previous knowledge
of them which is so desirable wider the cir
cumstances. If they are named in the bill, as
we understand they are to be, they w re.
their record to make, ab initio, 'and the popular,
verdict will depend entirely upon themselves
and their work.
We earnestly desire., to see such a police
force provided as will be an honor to the
Republican party, and a protection to the .
peace and order of Philadelphia. It can be
done if the effort is honestly made. It will be
only a disgrace and injury to the Republican
party if any other result is reached. ,
The Press of this morning does itself honor
by its manly and able protest against the
tyrannical monopoly of the Telegraphers'
League. Taking these young Men at their
own showing, they have revealed to the Com
munity one of the most dangerous combina
tions ever known to exist in this country; a
combination bound by solemn secret ,oaths to
violate every honorable obligation between
employer and employed, and to surrender
every principle of personal Judgment and self-

respect, at the bidding of their secret superiors.
The PrEss truly says of this Telegraphers'
League monopoly that "no monopoly of capital
ever existed so awfully solemn 'and imposing
as this of labor, or if it did, its existence was
but for a day. It must assuredly have died
the speedy death , it deserved to die, a suicidal
one by strangulation. If monopoly has no
right to exist; if it is odious in the eyes of
labor, by what process of reasoning does labor
arrive at the conclusion that the monster must
be overridden by a greater monopoly? The
monopoly of capital is voluntary; that of
labor, as we see from the above oaths, is cofn
pulsory. It is nothing more or less than a
secret oath-bound association, a scheme more
iniquitous than any it is dasigned•to correct."

CITY BULLETIN.
Tttis UNION Lesave.—This famous organi
v.ation which has borne so important a part in
the political history of the country during the
last seven yeare, has reached •a period its
career, where it is able to devote itself more
particularly to the development of its peculiar
resources and capabilities as a social club.
Ile magnificent building, second to none in
this country, of its kind, was reared (Wail the
din and darkness of the war, and has served
noble purposes as the centre and source of
patriotic Inspiration, not for Philadelphia or
Pennsylvania alone, but for the whole country.

Government ; in supplying the sinews of war;

shining example of devoted and self-sacri tic
• Sin, f01111:1 a diSti uthired — Chapte r
in t ie great Record of the Rebellion.
The political significance and power of the
Union League has not been relinquished.
Like our iron-clad fleet, it may be said to be
laid up in ordinary, ready to he displayed and
used whenever occasion shall require. ,Mau
time, its direction has very properly turned
Its attention more and more to adding to
the internal attractiveness of the beautiful
building, and to the accommodation of its
large membership. The liberal energies that
expended themselves freely, when they were
needed, in promoting the ends of War, are
new judiciously directed' to the pro Motion of
the arts and science of Peace.. A fine
library .of exquisitely bound standard
Work;, numbering several thoUSand
volumes, offers its attractions to literary taste.
The halls and spacious apartments are, -en
riched with a large variety of choice worits
of art. Statuary, bronzes, paintings, engrav
ings of rare excellence meet the eye at every
turn. Wellst•ocked reading-rooms supply the
foreign and domestic serials, as well as all the
prominentjournals of England and America.
One of the handsomest billiard-rooms in the
city affords constant entertainment for the nu
merous devotees of that favorite game, while
last, but very far from least, a most attractive
restaurant supplies every reasonable wins of
the inner man. This latter department of the
Union League deserves, at this time,
more than a passing notice. Probably
very ' few of its own members are
aware of the full advantages which their
membership secures to them in this respect.
Really first-class restaurants are extremely
" few and far between" in Philadelphia, and
_vet the need of them is daily increasing. The
Union League has always aimed at supplying
this need to its members, and with much suc
cess. But the recent voluntary retirement of
its original efficient steward, Kr. Frohmann,
has afforded the direction an opportunity to
,reorganize this department, so important to
the comfort of its members, upon different
basis, which promises a still more satisfactory
result, the restaurant being now conducted
for the exclusive advantage of its patrons. An
experienced superintendent, an accomplished
Parisian clt4f de cuisine, a picked corps of good
waiters, a tinely-stocked . cellar and larder,
combine to secure every requisite of a first
class restaurant. The members of the Union
League should heartily second and support
the enterprise of their directors in affording
the great variety of attractions and conve
niences which now rank the beautiful build
ing on Broad street as high among the social
clubhouses of America as it has long been •
among the political organizations of the
country. •

Curred in the four-storied building, No. 712
Chestnut street. The first door is occupied by
Goodwin & Co., as a U. S. Dollar Store.'
The second story front is occupied by .1. M.
Warne, importer of watches, and T. A.
Warne & 'Co., manufacturing jewelers. In
the third story Charles E. : I •lutrux. watch
maker, occupied an apartment. The re
mainder of the front portion of the building is
unoccupied. The rear portion of the struc
ture is rented by Goodwin & Co., and sonic
of the rooms are used for storing good:4.
The drums appear to have originated in au
entry in the second story, at the rear of
Warue's room. The latter was separated from
the entry by a thin partition, and against this
partition a lot of paper boxes were piled.
These boxes took lire and then the dames seem
to have spread rapidly in that portion of the
premises. A store-toom back, occupied by
Goodwin & Co., was burned out, as were also
the rooms occupied 'by the Me.•ssrs. Warne and
by Mr. Mutrux. A hole was burned through
the ceiling of the store on the first floor and
some burning material fell through, but the
store sustained Very little damage hytire. ' - The
place was drenched with water which ran
from. above, but the goods were protected in
a great measure by the covers of the In
surance Patrol. The loss could not be esti
timated, but it is more than covered by $20,-
000 insurance which Goodwin & Co. have on
their stock.
•
Mr. J. M. Warne has on hand a very valu
able stock of watches. His stock was secured
in a largo fire-proof safe, and is uninjured.
The most valuable portion of the stock of T.
A. Warne & Co. was also in a fire-proof safe,
and likewise escaped injury. In the cases, in
the wareroon; however, was a large quantity
of cheap jewelry. This was also destroyed.
The Messrs. Warne would not give any esti
mate of their loss. They have an iusurauce
of .: . .15,6430, which will more than cover it.
Mr. Mutrux had all of his watches in a fire
proof safe, and his loss will amount to about
The building belongs to Mrs. Deborah L.
Hopper, and is i nsured iu the Fire Association
to an amount sufficient to repair the damage

The origin of the firo is being investigated
by Fire Marshal Blackburn.
TEE NEWSBOYS' IloarE.--LOn Monday night
next, a meeting of the Newsboys' Home As
sociation will be held itreencert Hall, for the
purpose of enlisting the sympathies of the
public in the enterprise to which the society
has devoted itself. ltev. Phillips Brooks will
be present, and will address the meeting upon
the subject. Messrs. Dupuy and Tratcy,of New
York, also, will give accounts of their experi
ence in condUcting similar undertakings in
that city. Mr. Tracy for ten years past has
been a visiting missionary among the poor
_children ofNew York, in the service of ._the_
Children's Aid Society, and he iS especially
competent to speak upon this matter. Mr.
Tracy for many years has been Superinten
dent of the Newsboys' Lodging House iu
New York, and under his direction that insti
tution has increased its usefulness to a large
extent. He will relate a number ofinteresting
anecdotes of his experience with the bright,
sharp-witted boys with whom he has daily
intercourse. We sincerely hope this meeting
will be largely attended. The announcement
of Mr. Brooks' presence alone ought to till the
ball.

der, addressed to the Mayor and Recorder, re
quiting them to open the vault and produce

mittee."
This order was served by the messenger of

A long discussion then ensued between Mr.

THE TEL EGRAPH IC STRIK E. - The tele
graphic strike in this city is virtually at an
end. Fifteen of the strikers that left the
Philadelphia office of the Western Union
Company have returned to their duty. They
have signed the following paper dissolving
their connection with the League:
." Having been fully convinced in my mind
that we have been grossly deceived by our of
at New York. and that the present strike
between the Western Union Company and its
late employes is entirely unjustifiable on the
part of the strikers,l hereby renounce all con
nection with the T. P. L. I feel that I am
doing it as an act of justice to myself and to
my family."
Only seven of • the original Strikers now re
main on the strike. The operators who have:
been placed on duty in the Philadelphia office
• have also signed the folloiving card, contra
dicting the damaging reports as to the man
agement of the offices at Philadelphia, Balti
more and Washington during the strike:
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. B.—Havingivithdrawn
from the Telegraphers' Protective League and
returned to duty with the Company, and hav
ing made personal inquiry and investigation
iu regard to the manner iu which the business
has been done since the strike,we are satisfied
that the statements published from time to
time to the effect that the offices at
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton have been manned with boys
and incompetent operators, and that in conse
quence the regulariousiness has been seriously
delayed, are wholly incorrect. On the con
trary, we believe the business to have been
done without any material delay, and that the
force.on duty at the points named, as well as
at other principal offices, has been composed
of men of first rate ability.
CITY MORTALITY.—The number of inter:
'acids in the city for the week ending at noon
to-day was 309, against 281 the same period

SATUIR DA V, Jan. B.—The general attention of business
men is just now attracted to theprecarious condition of
the gold market and the probable opening of a new era
of excitenient and panic. After business hours yester
day a clique in Rail street succeeded in forcing
up the premium of gold from 121 V. at
which point it stood at 3 P. )1.,. to 122%.
The market opened this morning at the same
figure, and advanced to 123. but the point was not
steadily maintained. What the result will be it is as yet
difficult to foresee ; but if It is to be tneasnred by the will
of the manipulators it will be disastrous enough. The
people ass thoroughly tired of these panics, and the
time Is near at hand when stringent enactments can no
longer be postponed withotit imperilling the salvation
of the country.
The Loan market is active, but the increase of cur
rency tends to soften the rates, though the change as yet
is slight. Government bonds feel the Influence of the
foreign demand for investment, and the advance hi gold
and prices is again per cent. Gold weakened off a
little after 11 A. M. this morning, and the last quotation
from New York pre% ions to noon was II2X.
The stock market was again active, and prices firm.
In State loans there were no gales. City is sold at 1110 s ';
Reading Railroad was taken at 47:1± cash, and 57.1. b. o.
Ptnnsylvania Railroad was steady , with sales at 54.
Lehigh Valley Railroad sold at 53. 45 WlB bid fur Cats

In canal shares the only sales were of Lehigh at 333,.i.
The balance of the list was overlooked.

NATURAL CONVULSIONS.
The Eftrthqnnke In Lastern California
and Western Nevada,
{From the Sacramento (Cal.) Union of Dec. 28.1
The earthquake shock felt here on Sunday
evening, about ii o'clock, appears to have been
felt as far west as Stockton,asfar north as Ma
rysville,in this State i as far east as Wadsworth,
and all along the Sierra range, as far to the
south as Alpine county. It was most severe
between Reno and Wadsworth, on the line of
the Central Pacific Railway. But it was sharp
enough to create alarm in Virginia,and all the
western towns of Nevada yet heard from. The
region affected by it is not less than 2&) miles
long by sixty to eighty wide, and • includes
almost as much territory west as east of the
Serra Nevada, though the shocks were most
severe On the eastern side of the mountains.
About a year ago we experienced a similar
earthquake here,not quite so sharp as this,but
correspondingly severe in all the region af
fected by this last one. It was not felt at San
Francisco or anywhere on the bay, but it was
at Stockton, Marysville, lowa Hill, Yankee
Jim's, Silver Mountain, Virginia, and else
where in the State of Nevada. At 2 o'clock
yesterday morning the shocks were repeated
here, and we learn that they extended also to
the towns in Nevada. Upon the experi
ence of these three separate earth
quakes, all confined to about the •same
area, it is aot unreasonable to assume that WO
have an earthquake system of our own, quite
distinct in its operations and causes from that
which occasionally shakes up San Francisco
and the towns around the bay and coast line
as far to the south as Santa Cruz. This theory
is, too, in accordance with the South Amen
can experience. The terrible earthquakes
along the seacoast of Chile and Peru are sel
dom felt in the Andes, while sometimes they
have very severe ones in the Andes, which do
not affect the seacoast towns, as that, for in
stance, which in 1861 destroyed the town of
Mendoza, 200 miles east of Valparaiso, killing
5,000 people, and was not felt either in Santi
ago or on the coast.
FIN AN CIAL.
THE
FIRST MORTG-A.G-E
BONDS
OF THE
CHICAGO,DANVILLE &VINCENNES
RAILROAD.
Total amount to be issued, 82,500,000
Capital Stock paid in, . 2,100,000
Estimated cost of Road (140 miles), 4,500,000
Estimated earnings per annum, 2,039,206
Net earnings per annum, $79,768
Interest on the Loan per annum, 175,000
Amount of Bonds per mile of road, 18,000
Amount of Interest per mile, 1,260
Amount of net earnings per mile, 11,284
The Bonds follow the completion of the Road have
the Union Truet Company of Now York as their Official
Regievermall -Transfor Agent t awd.are sold at-pace 'Mat
95 and accrued interest.
They bear examination and comparison better, it is
believed, than any other uow before the public. In the
fixed and unchangeable elements of Safety, Sdcurity and
Profit.
They bear good interest—seven per cent, gold for forty
Years—und are set urea by a Sinking Fund and First
Mortgage upon the road, its outfit and net income, the
franchises, and all present and future acquired property
of the Company. '
They depend upon no new or half-settled territory for
business to pay their intereet.but upon an old,well-settled
and productive country—asonming that a railroad buitt
through the heart of such a region offers bettor security
for both interest and Principal than a road to be bout
through the most highly extolled wilderness or sparsely
settled territory. -
This Railroad possesses special advantages in running
into and out of the city of Chicago, an important railroad
and commercial centre ; in running through a line of vil
lages and old farming settlements In the richest portion
of the State of Illinois; in running near to deposits of
iron ore of gloat extent and value, and over broad fields
of the beet coal in'the State, which mining interests era
its monopoly. And, besides the local and other business
thus assured, there will be attracted to thisroad the con
siderable traffic already springing np " From the Lakes
to the Gulf," as with Its Southern connections it forms a
'Dunk Line 45 miles shorter than any other route from
Chicago to Nashville.
These Bonds are therefore based upon a Reality awl a
business thnt a few years must Inevitably double—auil
competent judges' ay treble—in value.
Governments selling white the price is hick pay well if
put into these Bonds, and Trust and Eseczie Funds can be
put into ItIOTILING BETTER.

to hasten negotiations at the present time, but
to allow the question to remain open until
after Congress and • the British

deliberating upon the principles involved,

a sufficient number to prevent uprising" - ,

Argentine Confederation over five millions of
dollars annually.
The son of President Lopez is now confident
that his father will soon appear in the field at
the bead of a large force of troops, and that it
is absurd to think that the war is at an.
end. Mr. ,Lopez bad an interview
with the Secretary of State this morning, hop.
ing to be able to satisfy Mr. Ffsh'as to the fat.
airy of the reports from Paraguay. The De
partment of State is expecting official
despatches during the next two weeks which
will throw light upon the reported final defeat
of Lopez. ,
THE CASE OP. MINISTER SICKLES.
Allusion was made in these despatches on
Monday last to certain information called for
by the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela
tions from the State Department to aid them
in forming an opinion as to confirming
or rejecting General Sickles. Your corres
pondent said that the letter which Minister
Sickles presented to the Spanish authorities,
but which it is alleged that he afterwards
withdrew, was furnished with considerable
hesitancy by the State Department, This
statement was promptly contradicted in the
Washington column . of the New York
Times, as being without the least shadow of
foundation, and it was averred that no such
letter was ever 'written and that it was the fig
ment of Spanish imagination. Mr. Fish, hav
ing his attention called to this matter, says
that Minister Sickles did present such a letter
to the Spanish authorities, containing offers of
mediation,
or rather an offer of the good
offices of the United States to effect a gads
factory settlement of the Cuban
difficnl
ties. ° This letter was acknowledged, with
thanks for the good will manifested, h
the Spanish , authorities. Soon after this y
was presented, the comestie affairs in
Spain became in such a confused condition,
and such strong and fornaidtible opposi
tion to the Government in power
manifested itself, that the authorities felt
the necessity of uniting, if possible, disaffected
parties. It was at this state of affairs that
Minister Sickles's letter was made public,
with an intimation that the letter was
an ultimatum and that it meant war.
Instantly the excitement became intense, and
thepurpose for which the letter was given
publicity was accomplished. Minister Sickles
then withdrew the offer of mediation,
but did not withdraw the letter itself,
nor has it ever been withdrawn. Prominent
Spanish officials informed 'Minister -Sickles
that the time would soon come when the offer
which he withdrew would be very:accepta
ble, and they hoped it would be
renewed again. Gen. Prim said that the offi
ces of the United States, in settling the Cuban
question, were not only necessary, but Indis
pensable. This is the history of the
matter • Cell there , has been so much
comment i. n. The correspondence was sent
to the C • i teeon Foreign Relations on the
same d y th, • e letter calling for it was re
ceive at t • State Department, and wail not
given ran - eta ntly.
