(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
GREAT BRITAIN.
LONDON, Sept. 17.—The Star, radical
organ, to-day states that the difficulty be
tween the United States and Spain on
the Cuban question, is in a fair way of
settlement,
A rumor of a proclamation guarantee
ing religious liberty and freedom of elec
tion, shortly to be issued by the Spanish
government is a better omen; but if .the
reports of the military government In
Cuba are true, the concession must be
prefaced by one more essential, namely:
That Cubans be permitted to live to en
joy them.
Advices have been received of the total
wreck of the Indian mail steamer Cara
. notic off the Island of Shadum, in the
lied Sea. All the passengers and crew
succeeded in reaching the shore in safety,
but the mails and the cargo were lost.
The steamer bad a large amount of specie
On board for this city, which was lost.
Donnizr, September 17.—1 n the Synod
of Armagh a resolution exolding the laity
from deciding questions of doctrine
• and discipline has been rejected by a
large majority. The Synod has also re.
jected a resolution looking to the repre
sentation_ of minorities, and has ad
journed until the 30th inst.
*RE, September 17.—The Farmers'
club have adopted resolutions demand
- lag/ a perpetuity in land tenures; • the
placing of rents on a fixed basis, and the

LONDON, September 17.—The .Tele
graph baa an editorial on the relations
between Spain and the United States
wherein it says: The th e
of the
Cubans would place Washington in the
wrong on the Alabama question. With
what consistency can rights be granted
wandering guerrillas, not formidable
enough..forl-Jk..bloOtuuded.' If England
desired to put the accusers of her
policy. oat of court, abo.ahofild eileour
: age the policy ascribed to President
Grant. We prefer to take the question
'on the broad ground of common interests.
War between Spain and America would
• be a material injury that would be
equally apportioned. The shipping of
the latter would be a prey to privateers
and her commerce, with the profits,
would pass to neutrals. The reduction
of.i . the national debt would be
arrested, internal organization checked,
.and public discontent would .revive.
With the growing burdens, Spain would
:lose Cuba, but continue Spain, with her
obstinate tenacity of. resistance, her
• great undeveloped rsources, her power to
attack American trade. and her compar
ative invulnerability ,to retaliation.
America would gain at a heavy
cost what might for years be more
.a loss than a gain; would be entangled
in a war combining a maximum cost and
• minimum glory. Such considerations
• cannot pass unregarded at Washington,
since there is still ground for the hope
that peace may be . preserved.
The Ezaminer, on the subject of Spain
and Cuba, has the following: "By the
- history of analogy there is no longer a
physical impediment to the representa
tion of Cuba in the Spanish Cortes. Ex
pediency recommend it; bat for Cuba is
it not too .late. If not sold or surren
dered, her own inhabitants must in some
form be mortgaged to the Americans,
with, the certainty, that once in power.
jibe will eventually become theirs. It is
better, perhaps, for Spain.
MADRID, September 17.—1 t is thought
the cabinet at Washington has become
somewhat more conciliatory since the
receipt of telegiatris from Mr. Sickles,
American Minister, that the over excited
' temper of the Spanish people will com
pel the government to continue the war
for the euppression of the insurrection in
Cuba.
The King of Italy has given his con
sent to the selection of- the Duke of
Genoa as King of Spain.
The strike of the workmen at Berea
. lona continues. It has assumed - alarm
ing, proportions.
A decree summoning the Cuban Den.
uties to Cortes at'Madrid will shortly be
I published. The fleet is nearly ready to
sail with reinforcements for Cuba.

CONSTANT ; TNOPLE, September 15.—The

also his pleasure at the compliance with.

been bargained fot or are now In course
of construction, shall be countermanded;
that the public taxes of the territory'
• shall be. levledand collectedin the name
of the Sultan only; that taxes shall be
imposed only in the name of the Sultan;
that the annual Budget. of Finance shall
be submitted realilarly to the Sultan for
authorization previous to its promulga

cases of contract of foreign loans; 'that
the Viceroy shall not hold direct official
intercourse or communication with for

afford, through his officers, better treat

Depositions are still being taken in

owners of the steamer Flirt for inhuman
treatment. No person except Mooney
himself`has yet testified positively that
Mooney was shot in the mouth
at the time of the fracas, though
some . saw him bleeding at the
month. The theory of the defense,
although no depositions in their behalf
have been buten as yet, is evidently
that Mooney, when ordered to perform
some duty on the boat, was stubborn and
refractory; that the mate punished him
to compel obedience; that a pistol was
uesd with which he was beaten on the
head, and during the castigation it went
off but shot nobody; that Mooney was
ordered off the boat to the Island to
carry on wood and refused to do so,
seating himself upon a loiCand obstinate
ly refusing to return to the beat; that the
boat was detained some time through his
refusal to go aboard,, and tinnily was
compelled to shove off without him.

TOLEDO, Sept. 17.—The Ohio State Fair

tickets sold was 70,000 against 76,000 at
Dayton, 1867, the highest of any pre
ceedlng year. The aggregate of receipts
were from $28,000 to $30,000. The num

mor than in any former year. The most
gratifying degree of order, sobriety
anclgOod feeling distinguished the whole
affair, and everybody. officer/4pr the'

are delighted. As evldenceof the natural
resources, developments - and advance

the people' of this city may well take
pride, and which will do much towards
attracting in this direction the industry,
