PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Message from the Presulent to Congress on the Contest in OubO. WAsurts:ceroN, June 13,—The Presi dent sent the following message to Con gress this afternoon : To the Senate and House (f Reprcsen• (olives ann eel message to Con gress at '(lie` beginning of its present session, I referred to the contest , which had then for more than a year existed iu the island of Cuba, between a por tion of it inhabitants and the invent and Spain, and to the feelings'! -and sympathies of the people and gov- , , ernment of the United States 'for OW . people of Cuba, as for all peoples strug gling for liberty and self-government, ' and said that the coldest has at no time assumed conditions 'which amount to • war in the sense of •internatkinal or which would show the. ex t istenee of ,a de facto political organization. of. the . insurgents sulllcient to justify a recog nition of their belligerency. — During the six mOnths have( passed sine° the date of that. message, the condition of the insurgents has not improved, and the insurrection itself, although not subdued, exhibits no signs 61 tuiVatice, but, seems to he confined to au *regular system ofhostilities, ear ried on by small Mid illy armed bands of men, roaming without eoneentratiOn through the woods and sparsely . popu lated regions of the island, attacking 'from endued' convoys and small bands of troops, and burning plantations and estates of those not sympathising . with their cause. But if the iesurrection has not gained -ground, it is equally true that Spain • has not surpressed it. The climate, &Settee and the occasional bullet; have marked destruction among the soldiers of Spain, and although 'the F;panish authorities have possessed ofevery t sea portland every town on he Island, they/ have not been able to subdue the hos- ; tile feeling which has driven a consid4 enable umnber of the native inhabitants ' of the Island to arnica resistance against Spain, dud still leads them to endure ;dile dangers and privations of the roam ing life of a guerrilla. • On either side the colitest heel' condut'ted, Mid is sl ill carried en, with a lamentable disregard of human life anti the ustrges• and practices which modern civilization 1111.4 piescritted in Mitigation of the necessary horrors Of war. The torch Of the 1-ik!ttniard and. the Cuban are alike busy in carrying destruction over fertile regions. Mur derous and revengeful decrees are issued anti executed by both parties. Count Valmase l la 'and colonel 8011, on the part of Spain, have each startled, hu manity and aroused the indignation of the eivilized world hp the exeeution . . each of a score of prisoners at, a time; while lieneral Quesadu, the -Cuban Chief, coolly and with api.arreet an concionsuess of aught else than a 'wiper act, has admitted the slaughter, by his own deliberate order,' in one tiny, of upwards of six lintith.ed anti fifty pris viten of war. A summary trial, with few if an t y escapes nom eenvietiett, Ads lowed by immediate execution, iM the fate of the arrested on either shle, suspicion of infidelity to the canse of the party making the attest. Whatever may he the f-Iympatibies of the people or of the ( tovern wee Lief the United States for tilt-cause ol,Pets for which a part of the people et Culla are understood to have put themselves in armed resistance to the I fevere meet of Spain, there-can be no just, 5,5-wit:ally in a coullict carried on by bet h.,parties alike in such a barbarous violation of the rules ofeivilized nations; and with such continued outrages upon the plain est principles of humanity, we cannot discriminate in our censure of their mode of conducting , a contest., between the Spaniards anti Cubans. Ellett com mit the 'same •attrocities and entrage alike the established rules of war. The properties of many of our eitiVAMIS have been destroyed _or enthargeed.' The lives of several have bveti Heed, and thelilterties of of ber.4 . have been restrained. In ever . '' I hat has come to the knowledge of the t tov erument, an early and earnest demand for reparation and idetnedy has been made, and the m ost emphatie Fenton stranee has been presented against the manner in which the st rife is eondeeted, and against the'Jeehless disregard of human life, the molten destruettee of material wealth, and the cruel disre gard of the established rules of el v li zed warfare. I have, since the beghtning of the present session of Congress, Communi cated to the House i -Of Representatives, upon their request, all ;es:omit of the steps which I had taken. in the hope of bringing I his sad conflict te, oii, etid, and litr seenring to the ptoplt: ul Culla the blessing; mill rigid of tut independ ent self-government. -The elfin t thus made failed, but not wil hind alt tosur ance from Spain that Hie mend tdlicers of this fit - wet-nine/It might still aVii II for the objects to whieli they :have been addressed. 11.»tritig the whole contest, the remar kable exhibition has been made of large numbers of CIII3IIIIB escaping from the Island - and avoiding the risks of war congregating in this eountry et a safe distance from the sense of danger, and endeavoring to make war from 0111' own Shores, to urge otir_people into the light which they avoid, and to embroil this Government in coniplientions and pos sible hostilities with Spain. It can scarce be doubted that this last result is the real objection of these par ties although careftilly covered under the deceptive and apparently plausible - demand for a Lucie recognition of bell igerency. • It is stated on what I have reason to regard as geed authority, that Cuban hands have been prepared to a large amount, whose paymeet, is made dependent upon the recognil Mil by the United States of of either Cohan het ligereney or independenee. The object of making their valtht thus enti eIY con tingent upon the action of this govern menti is subjeet for'serious reflection. In determining the eause.to - he ad0.,0 2 ed on a demand thus made for recog, n i t ion of belligerency, the liberal and peaceful principles adopted toy, the Pa titer or his country aud the eminent ' statesmen of his days, followed by the succeeding CIAO: M. agistrates and the men of their day, may furnish a safe guide to, those of us now einirged with the direction intik Control of the public` safety. Front 1789 to 1815 the dom i nen t thmight of our statesmen was to keep the United Stater out of the wars w It ich were devastating Europe. The dis cussion-of measures of neutrality begins with the State papers of Mr. Jetler , 4on, when he was Secretary of State. lie shows that there are inc./noires of t l °9 3 / "Ot we)l as 'National duty ; 'that untiguidca .individual eitie,eea cannot be tolerated in making war ae. cording to their own caprice, passions and interests, on foreign sympathies ; that the agents of foreign govertintentS, recognized or unreeognizen, cannot he_ permitted to abuse our lieziVitality \hy usurping the functions of enlisliegt or equipping military or naval foices with in their own territorx. Washington inaugurated the policy of neutrality absolute abstinence from all foreign `entangling alliances which resulted : iu 1794 in Hui first municipaY emit:Linen t for the observance of neutrality. The duty of opposition to tiliibuster— ing has been admitted by' every Pres ident. Washington encovittered the ef forts of. Genet and the French re.volu tionists ; John Adams the projects of i lifideranda and Jefferson thesehemes of Aaron Burr. Madison and subsequent Presidents had to deal with the ques tion of forelgn_entlstment ow equipments in the United States, and since nays of John:Quincy Adams it has been one of the constrant cares of the government of the United States to prevent, piratical expeditions against the feeble South American republics from our shores. In no country are men waiting for any enterprise that holds out the prom ise of adventure or gain. In the early 'days of our national experience, the whole continent of Anterilat f ontside of the - United States and Its t:oswere all colonial dependencies eft an si urro powers. The 'revelation which g e n all m 1810 spread almost simultaneously ' throughout the Spanish America contr. nentalcolonies, resulted in the establish• wont of new States, like 'ourselves of _European origin, and interested in ex. eluding European policies and the %leo.' tion of the balance of powfir, ,frotti fur• titer. influence .In the New 4 World • the A.merican policy of Heti trlllitS, im portant before, became doubly so nom the fact that - It ecame 'applicable to the new republic , ' as well as to the mother country. It then devolved upon its to determine the tgyeal, interna tional question, at what lime and Limier what circumstances to recognii,ts a nee , power as entitled to a place auelug family of nations, as well as the prelim inary question of the attitude to be ob served by this Government toward the insurrectionary'party pending the con test. Mr. Monroe eonciSely expressed the rule which has controlled the ac tion of thisliovern went with reference to a revolting country, pending its .struggle by Saying : "As soon his 'the movement asEmend such a steady and consistent form as to make the 'sue., cots of the provinces probable, the rights to which they are entitled by thef laws of IlatitilisS, as equal partial to it civil wriv, swan extemii:d to them." , • . - The strict adherence to this rule of public policy has been oil of the, high-, est honors of American statesmanship, .and ho-s'seenred to the GovernMent the confidence of the feeble vowel's of rids continent r and which ihelined them to rely upon its friendship in the absence 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 .01* prominence anti of hilluelee w hielo it should not abdicate, but i lwhich imph - ses, upon 'it the most delicate Afities of right and Of, honor regarding American: questions,, whether thou questions affect, emanci pated'colonie, or colonies still subject to European dominion. The question of belligerency is one of, fact, not to be decided by sympathies for prejudice against either ' party.. The relations between the preSeat state of the insurgents must amount, in tact, to ,war, in the sense of International law. it'ighting, though tierce and' pro tracted, does not alone constitute war. Thdre must be military ‘ forces, acts : in accordance with' the rules and 'cus toms of war, flags of truce, cartels clic change of prisoners, &c., &e., And to justify a recognition - of belligerency, there must be, above all u,dc facto po litical organization of the insurgents, sufficient in character and resources' to constitute, if left to itself, a State among nations capable of discharging the du ties of a State, anti of meeting the just responsibilities it may incur as such towards other Powers in the discharge of its national duties. Applying the best information which I have been able to gather, whether from official or unofficial Sources, including the= very exaggerated statements which each party gives to all that may prejudice their opponents or give eredit to its'ONVII side of the question, I ton unable to see in the present condition of the contest, in Cuba those elements which are req uisite to constitute war in the sense, of internationallaw. The• insurgents hold no tow' or city, have no estab •lished seat of government ; t heyi I have , no prize courts, no Organization for the receivit , or collecting of revenue, no seaport Co which a prizemay be carried, or through which access can lie had by a foreign Power to the limited interior territory and 1110116fitill fortresses which they occupy. The existence of a Leg islature, representing any popular con stituelky is more than doubtful. In the uncertainty that hangs amain! the entire insurrection, there is no !subside evidence of an election of any delega ted authority, or of any government outside the limits of the camps occu pied front day to day by the moving companies of insurgent troops. There is no commerce, no trade, either inter nal or foreign, no manufactures. _The late ,commtaderin-chief of the insur gents having recently conic to the Unit et) States, publicly declared that "all commercial intercourse- or trade with the exterior world had been cut off; and lie further - added, "To-day we have not ten thousand arms in Cuba." It is a well established principle of 1 mb lie law that a - recognition by foreign states of belligerent rights of insurgents under circumstances such as now exist in Cuba, if not justified .by necessity, is a gratuitous 111,111011lit.raticygs . - 4 ~,,,r , o support, to the rebellion. Such ne cessity may yet hereafter arise. but it has not yet arisen, nor is its probability clear to he seen. If it be war betwen Spain and Cuba, and the latter be recogeized, it. is our duty to provide ft l y the consequence whielfinay insue hi the embarrassmen t of our commerce and interference with our revenue. if belligerency he recog nized, the commercial marine of the United States becomes liable to search and to seizure bj; 'the commissioned cruisers of both parties. Tlay become subject to .tlp adjudication' of prize courts. Our Mime coastwise trade be tween the Atlantic and the Gulf States, and between both and Lhe Isthmus of Panama, the States of South America, engaging the larger part of our com mercial marina passes of necessity al most in sight of the Island of Cnba. Un der 'the treaty with Spain of 1795, as well as by the laws of nations our vessels will be liable to visits, on the high seas. In the case of belligerency, the carrying of contraband, which now is lawful becomes liable to the risks of seizure and condemnation. The parent grovernnient becomes relieved frem responsibility for acts done in the instil : - gent's territory, and acquires the right to exercise toward neutral commerce all the poWers of a party ton maritime war. To what consequence the exercise of 'those powers may lead is a question which I desire to commend to the serious consideration of Congress. In view of the gravity of this,question, I have deemed, it myl duty to invite the attention of thkwar-malcing powers of the country to all the relations and bear ings of the question in connection with the declaration of neutrality and grant ing of belligerent rights. There is not a de facto Government in. the island of Cuba sufficient to execute laws to main tain just relations with other nations. Spain has not been able.to suppress the ppposition to Spanish rule on the _lsland, nor to award speedy justice to other nations or citizens of other nations when their rights have been invaded. There - are serious compligations growing out of the seizure of ATneriean vessels upon the high seas executing American .citizens without proper trial and cOnfis eating or embargoing the property of American citizens. Solemn protests have been made against every infraction of the rights of individual citizens of the United States or the rights of our flag upon the high seas,\ and all proper steps have been taken and areTpresstd for the proper reparation of evry indig= fay complained of. The question of belligerency however which is to be decided upon definite principles and accoring to ascertrained facts, is entirely different from and unconnected with theil other question of the manner in which the strife is carriedi_on on both sides of the treatment of our citizens entitled to our_protection. • These (pies- Lions concern our own dignity and responsibility and they have been made, as I have said the subject of re peated communications with Spain and of prOtests and de;pands for redress on our part, It is hoped that these will not be disregarded ; but should they be, these questions will be made the sub ject of further communication to Congress.

CUBA. On the 13th instant the President sent a special message to Congress on Cuban affairs. It is an able review of the ques-' Lions of international law involved in the Cuban situation, viewed from what we convolve to.be an impartial consid eration of the facts, not seriously ques-' tioned by any one. That every legitimate encouragement should be extended to all people strug gling for their liberty, is the unqualified sentiment of our country : that we should involve ourselves in national dif ficulty, at this time, in order to give force and effect to this sentiment, is au entirely different proposition, and is one upon which public opinion is divi ded. So far as this sentiment of liber alism is unbiased by any mere -selfish considerations, it is highly proper and entirely consistent for us to indulge and foster it. But we are aware that• that feeling not unmixed with other c-m -siderations. Ever since the promulga tion of the Ostend Manifesto, there has been a party growing up within our li mits, favoring the annexation or acqui sition of the island of Cuba hy.the Uni ted States ; and we apprehend that much of the sympathy entertained for the Cuban patriots by a large class of our citizens, is founded upon this greed for more territory. We need no more territory, unless It be essential to onr national safety. Al ready we have more than we know what to do with : we had far better farm well what we have, than run the risk of war for more. One great - question involving our permanent national ex istence, is that .of territorial extent. C. 3 pors ...a, as 1 i. ".1.31 valßrillitnt is country together, and harmonize its multifarious interests through all the future? This is a question which will be imminent not long hence. We think the President's counsel wise. We should, court no wars., en col gage no " entangling alliances."— ,W are entangled enough among our itieWee. When we fully and finally solve the problems of our own domestic affairs, it will be time for us to direct our attention to the affairs of others. CHARLES DICKENS. Charles Dickens, the great English author, died suddenly, of paralysis, on the 10th inst. 'At this writing, we have not the particulars of his illness ; but it is enough for us to know that he is no more. Strolling leisurely along a lone way we had so often frequented in boyhood, the train which bore the first news of his death rushed by, as If it were on no errand of sadness or regret to any this isolated .region ; yet, when at the station, the first line which greeted our eyes in the morning paper—" Death of Charles Dickens"—carried deep down into the heart of an illiterate but sym patbetie stranger, the sad Intelligence of his , untimely death, it was a feeling of lainent which came over us, akin to that the lone heart feels when the loved fall to rise no more! Traveling thro' the bright realms of fancy in which he has roamed so muchnt ease, and writ ten so much in the truth of nature, in years gone now with all the reckonings of the past, who could do less than learn to love. the unrivalled father of Little Nell, and poor, little, but always "old," Paul Dombey, If ho had never created more ? Inimitable creations peOple the Dickens mansion, To have"traveled through, and to have seen and known them all, certainly entitles one tospeak in a familiar manner to Dickens, as the host who has done so much for our en --joyment and for the growth of : the bet ter qualities of our nature. All his characters are to us as real persons; and, in making their acquaintance, we have learned by the way, to look upon the author as we feel they are them selves, not mere human creatures, born to die, but as spiritual beings who have lived out their time upon the earth, and entered into the eternal mystery of all that is yet to be. Few of his general readers ever thought of Dickens's death as a present and probable event; and on this account,.the common' regret is all the more distressing. It is much to be enshrined in human hearts in every land, remembered and regretted in every household, not only in one's own country, but in every land where English literature •travels: thus it is with Charles Dickens. In Many an humble household is he mourned as one lost who had accomplished Much for humanity. Mr. Dickens was bbrn near Ports mouth, England, February 7, 1812; so he was past 58 years of age at his death. Ho died at his country residence, in Kent. He was first attacked at dinner, the day before his death, though his health for several years past bad not been good* Still he was thought to be only in the prime of his literary life. How swiftly, indeed, comes the m essen ger of death to the great, as well as to the humble and little knovin! Within so shortz time, how many of the great ~mett. of _the 'world. have.,,fallen ! The prevalence. of mortality among those ' who "toil so much with brain and pen,". admonishes all to retrain from over w al k. The works of Dickens are too popu larly known to need particular mention. lierey . er the English language is line. ; Irthi",' they nee familiar to all classes.— Before lie had even visited America, he bad received numerous letters from ev 'cry part'of this country, demonstrating 'how deeply he bad touched the popular 'heart. Every condition, every fate parallel in his hooka, and they _are all so actual, that one needing such consolation, , finds in them We i same sympathy that persons having such-ex perience in actual life,,could, otherwise alonegive. Ho has given expression to arilriiinite variety of human emotions and probable experiences.' The beauty 'and value of his writings flow fromhis intimate acquaintance with nature. He does not 'distort, the truth : ho follows it in such easy harness, that he does not even seem to copy. Yet• we know he 'does copy—that is, his heart and life pictures are so perfect, that we know ho speaks only. what he has, at one time or another, seen. Nature .is infinite: for any one to attempt to create a natural scene, is futila—tho sketch 10 but a fan cy piece, after all. Dickens drew all his from the one infallible source. If there hi more in any ono character than' we have ever seen in actual life, yetrill the features are natural, and the combina tion is so skilful, we feel convineea that if we have riot ourselves met with the original, the author has. We never had any . sympathy with those who complained of his criticisms of American manners. We deserved them all, and more. But if we had formed any unfriendly opinions on this account, his words on the occasion of 'his second and last visit to this coun try,' should disarm every hatred and lead us to render homage to the gener ous heart and manly hour of the great est literary artist of our day. At his 'death, ho was in the midst of what promised to be among his greatest t works.. It is the tory entitled "The Mystery of ,Edwin Drood.". How that mystery,was to have been solved by the author, may, and probably will, remain a secret. This was to be expected of some. production, for such men never cease to labor while strength remains: and many before him have died with unfinished pages before them. Perhaps no death since that of Lord Macauley has so suddenly cut off such great ex pectations in the literary world. His unrivalled genius sleeps, or has flown to awaken in the mystic, world of spirits, there to delight the angels. When shall we see his like again ? ' GREAT BARGAINS !

IS it wise to delay the payment of a more pit tenet) to some Life Insurance Company, when by doing so a handsome competence is secured to one's family in case of premature death?

ANDUEWS, Esq., Wellsboro, Pa., Dear Sir:----Your favor of the 18th inst., has come to hand with policy N 0.21,227 Blanchard which we have changed and forwarded to Mr. A. Humphrey, Tioga, Pa., as requested. Although you say nothing of a slip about the magnificent attractions of "the Travelers,' we thought you perhaps intended to elicit our criti cisms, and we therefore offer them, hoping they may be of some service to you. Please turn to p. 120, of the 14th Mass. Re port, and you will see that the Life Department of the Travelers was insolvent Deo. 31, 1888. Gross Assets, Life Dept., $328,735 05. Gross Liabilities " " 354,435 79. But iu the Accident Department there• was a moderate surplus ($60,052 75) which more than canceled (by $34,352 01) the deficiency in the Life Department.t You will observe that on p. 120 and p. 123 of above report, the capital ($500,000,) is included in the assets of the Acci dent Department.. Where then is the "security of the Co." to Life policy holders ? Sup Pose too that the circumstances of the ease were changed, and that the Accident Dept. was insolvent and the Lifo Dept. had a surplus, would not the Co. pounce on the funds of the Life Dept. to pay for the broken legs and arms ? 2d, They claim "cheapness of the insurance." May not a thing be too cheap ? Does not the in solvency of their Life Dept.prove their insurance Sod cheap P How long can they stand cheap rates ? Should the insurant ever sacrifice securi ty to cheapness r • 3d, They say "the Mutual Companies charge in their policies a largo premium, but make a verbal promise outside of the policy to return in the future some of the overcharged premiums which they call dividends." The Washington has always stated in the policy that it insured a certain sum "toithparticipatione in profits." The subject is not exhausted, but perhaps we aro telling. you only what you already know. We mast a Mass. Report for fear you may not have one. Yours Truly, W. A. BREWER, Jr. M. V.

It may burst out in Pimples, or Setae, or i u some ac tive disease, or it may merely keep you listless, depressed and good for ' nothing, But you cannot have good health while your blood is impure.— { Ayer's Sarsaparilla purges out these impurities; it expels disease and stimulates the organs oft life into vigorous action. Hence it rapidly cures a variety of complaints which aro caused by impurity of the blood, such as Scrofula, or King's Evil, Tumors, Ulcers, Sores, Eruptions,-Pimples, Blotches, Boils, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tatter or Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ring Worm, Cancer or Cancerous Tumors, Sore Eyes, Female Diseases, such as Retention, Irregularity, Suppression, Mateo, Sterility, also Sy philis or Veneral Diseases, Liver Complaints, and Heart Diseases. Try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and see for your self the surprising activity with which it cleanses the blood and these disorders. During . lute years the public have boon misled by large bottlos pretending to'give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of therm have boon frauds upon the Rick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but, often no curitive ingredient whatever. nonce, bitter disappointments has followed the nee of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which Hood the market, until the name itself has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this .compound, " Sarsaparilla, ' and intend to - supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloqay which rests upon it. We think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresisti ble by the class Of diseases it is inteded to cure. We can assure the sick, that we offer them the best altera tive we know how to produce, and we have 'canon to believe. it istby far the most effectual puri er of the blood yet discovered. . 1 ' t Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is eo universally •nowu to surpass every other medicine for the cure o Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness , Croup.
