J PAGE FROM HISTORY Why President Grant Failed to Recognize Cuban Belligerency. SECRETARY FISH RESPONSIBLE I Tlie President Afterward Thanked His Chief Adviser for Having Saved Him From a Serious Error Scraps From the Diary of Secretary Fish. Albany, March 10. During tho tlobata on tho Cuban question in tho United States sonato many (illusions wcro mado both by Sonator Sherman and Senator Hill as to tho attltudo of Prosldont Grant and the thon secretary of stato, Hamilton Fish. Senator Shorman declared that there was a conflict of opinion ovor Cuban affairs botwoon tho presldont and his seo rotary of Btato. Tho speaker of tho as sembly, Hamilton Fish, son of tho lato socretary, Is In possession of Information upon this subject contained In tho diaries kopt by his father that Is of groat Impor tance In tho controversy. On the authority of these diaries it Is shown that Prosldont Grant had at ono time, under tho circumstances of a pond ing negotiation at Madrid, been inclined to recognlzo tho belligoroncy of Cuba; but on June '13, 1870, tho opinion of tho prosl dont and the cablnot was unanimous that tliero wore no facts to justify the declara tion of belligoroncy, and that tho satisfac tion of tho prosldont with tho Cuban pol icy of his administration .aud Its effects upon tho country and tho Republican party found oxpresston a fow weeks later In thanks to tho secretary of stato for what ever share In It may havo boon duo to his wisdom and Judgmont. Duriug his eight yoars' service In tho stato department Mr. Fish kept, chlofly as n rof eronco record for his own eyes, a diary In his own handwriting containing a min ute of important transactions, of his con versations with tho prosldont, members of the cabinet, senators aud other leading publlo men, In regard to tho moro promi nent of tho forolgn questions with whicli ho had to deal. From May 31 to Juno 13, 1870, tho date of President Grant's spocial mossago to congress on Cuban bolllger ency, tho ontrios in tho diary aro many and very full In regard to tho origin, prci aratlon, dtsousslons In cabinet and final completion of tho special mossago. Under dato of Feb. 10, 1870, thoro Is a suggestion of a rift In tlio unity of tho Bopublloan party In defense of that pol icy respecting foreign atfalrs, which pol icy tho prosldont had announced In his annual message of tho previous December. Tho entry Is us follows: "Called this morning, by appolntmont, to sco Senator John Sherman on subject of tho unit of colnago. After conversing on that question I referred to his resolu tion Introduced in tho sonato and speech In favor of recognizing tho belligerency of Cuba, and asked If he had recently ex amined tho treaty with Spain of 1793. Ho said ho had not; was not aware of tho ex istence of such a treaty. I referred to its provisions, and to tho probablo conse quences of tho oxerclso by Spain of tho right of visit (or of search); thought our people would not submit to it, aud that tho consoquencos would soon dovolop in war; said that fighting was notbolligor ency;thero is fighting, but no belligerency In Cuba; thero Is no govornniont of tho In surrectionary party; no political organi zation, cte. "Ho admitted that hp had not examined tho subject closely, but said thero isagood deal of excitement in tho country on tho subject. I advised him In connection with tho passing of his resolution of belliger ency to preparo bills for tho Increase of tho public debt, aud to meat tho lncreasod ap propriation which will bo necessary for tho army, navy, oto." An evident solicitude among Republi cans lest tho party, lu tho prosonco of tho approaching autumn election, should bo divided on tho Cuban resolution is indi cated on June 10 by this outry : "Judgo Ortli and General liutlcr callod In tho ovenlng to urge tho sending of a message by tho prosldont on tho question of Cuban bolllgoroncy, Orth says tuovoto will bo close. Hanks will mako tho dol ing spooch, but thero are some twenty or thirty qulot monitors who may ba doolded, by his spoooh, but would not go against tho president's viows." On June 12 thero Is this ontry: "Stay at homo and proparo a message on tho Cuban belligoroncy question, to bo submitted for the president's consideration, in caso ho ngroed to send ono." Of tho discussion In tho cablnot on tho 13th, tho day on which tho special mossago was sent to congress, tho diary says; "It was generally admitted that If war Is to be resorted to it should bo by a direct declaration, aud not by embarrassing Spain by a declaration of bolllgoroncy; agreos unanimously that no condition of facts oxlsts to justify bolllgoroncy. Fin ally the president amends his sentences by referring in general terms to seizures on tho high soa ombargoos of proporty and personal outrages," Speakor Fish said that tho original draft of the message, with Its many erasures and luterlineatlons, is all In Mr. Fish's own hand. Senator Cameron, in tho recont minor ity report of tho sonato committee on for eign affairs, alluded to a rumor of a bel ligerency proclamation having boon signed by Prosldont Graut. It is truo that lu tho summer of lSO'J, and whllo tho proffor of mediation suggested to tlio president by Mr. Paul S, Forbes as coming from Gen eral Trim was ponding at Madrid, the state department had, on tlio rcquost of tho president, prepared a draft of a procla mation of belligerency. Some tlmo after tho prosldont slgnod It, weut on a journey to tho west, and on tho way wrote a letter to Secretary Fish advising htm to lssuo tho proclamation granting Cuban belliger ency, though leaving tho matter to tho secretary's discretion. On July 10, 1870, in a conversation In which Mr. Fish had expressed to tho presi dent his desire to retire from tho oltlco, whloh ho hail accepted on tho understand lue that ho was to hold it only till tho president could perfect othor p'laus In re gard to It, Mr. Fish was strongly urged by tho president to remain through his term, nud assured that hU nourso was not only satisfactory to him, but gavo satisfaction and confidence to tho country. Thoso aro tho words of tho diary on tho subject: "The prosldont repeated that ho wished to thank mu especially for two occasions. They wore, ono, preventing tho Issuing, last August and September, of tho procla mation of Cuban belllg.Tcncy which he had signed, and which ho wrote mo a noto instructing me to sign (which I did) and to lssuo (which I did not), and, socoud, tho Cuban mos-sago of Juno 13."

Reaching Loudon all alono sho entered tho city by railroad, landing at Victoria station. Afterward, sho says, sho was ar rested, aud no argument that sho could uso would mako the London justlco before whom sho was takon bollovo that sho was nu heiress to tho millions in tho Tomplo estate. "Thirty days lu tho workhouso," said Miss Solbals, "was tho justlco meted out to me.

Tho storm keens up with a persistency that is provoking and is causing Inconvenience in many quarters, but is balled with delight by thoso who want to get somo sleighing before tlio flower blooming season arrives.

Among tlio roadway Incidents reported was an accident that befell Joseph Bell and Thomas Byau, two young men of town, who woro out yesterday enjoying a sleigh ride. Their horso took fright on West Coal street and ran up ono of tho dirt banks of tlio Koliinoor colliery. Bell and Ryan wcro tossed out of tho sleigh but escaped injury. Tho horso was found on tho top of tho dirt bank, tired and panting aud tho sleigh was in a bad condition. This morning a farmer of tho Catawissa Valley named Fred.
