Alter a long struggle, extending " through nine years or more, the Cuban pa triots appear to be nearing the time when the last' armed soldier must accept the fortunes of war and yield to the conqueror; Enough have al ready surrendered to make it- plain that the liberation and independence of Cuba from Spanish rule will not be an accornuiished fact soon. The beautiful, fertile island must still re main a sparkling gem in the diadem of Spain. But. the patriots have made a splendid fight, and have borne untold hardships with a forti tude and courage worthy of success. But fortune has been against them, and numbers and resources have proved too much for hardy courage and great endurance. : Thousauds of lives have been sacrificed in vain. Like the ; South, when fighting five times its numbers," they have been partly starved into surrender. . The want of men and provisions and mo nitions have done the work of subju gation. It is true there are insurgents yet in the field, but they are broken up into guerrilla bands, and are corn fined to a small portion of the island we believe. ' The terms given to those who have surrendered have not been pub lished, but we see it staled that they . include amnesty for all past offences. The Baltimore Hun says: . "The limitation of. the surrender to the Cubans in the central depaitment, and along the line of the system of detached forts thrown across the island, and known as the Trocha, still leaves the eastern de partment to be heard from. It ia among the swamps and Fastnesses of the latter de partment that the insurgents have had ' their strongholds from the beginning of the insurrection in 1869 up to the present time. From these strongholds they have never been driven, but may be said to have had exclusive possession of that department throughout the whole period of the strug gle. 1 The central department they ravaged, but never held. The western department,' . containing the city of Havana, the richest tobacco growing lands and the largest pop ulation, has suffered very little, if at all, from their raiding parties. The surrender of Maximo Gomez, one of the most enter prising of the insurgent Ieaders,and of other persons who were prominently connected with the provisional Cuban government, is a heavy blow to those still-holding out, and ... it is difficult to see how the latter can now maintain themselves." - i . The official proclamation, signed by Captain General Jovellar and Gen. Martinez Campos, secures to Cuba a constitutional government. Reforms of great moment are promised. The slaves of all the insurgents are to be freed, and Cuba is to have represen tation in the Cortes at Madrid on equal terms with Porto Rico and ac cording to population. We hope the Spaniards are acting in good faith, and that the promised reforms will be carried out fully. If so, the revolu tion will not be without its good re- SUltS. ..

We do not believe -r-we have never believed that England desired war. , She prefers that Tur key should remain a Power on .the map of Europe, but she has nothing to gain and a vast deal to lose Jby making war at this late day.

In Wednesday's issue we published a paragraph from ttiep Washington Post about two "visiting statesmen" being privy to the crime of breaking open an envelope containing the re-1 turns from De Soto parish, Louisiana, for 1870. 'I he Philadelphia limes remarks: j 'Tf nnr Washington contemnorarv is on the riffbt track, and verv likelv it la. let it 1 give the names of the visiting statesmen who advised the perpetration of this fraud Perhaps there is some law that can reach tbem. as Anderson has already been reached."- . ;, rt ii, '-m- 'i The Post, m a subsequent issue (March 5th,) says pointedly: "The dictates of courtesy prompt us to ioiorm'our esteemed contemporary that the legal proof which we declared to exist in support of our allegations, is in documenta ry form in the hands of a 'gentleman "who has been at work for more than a year fer reting out the processes of the Fraud by which Mr. Hayes became O0zeto President.

The sequel is now visible to 'all, and it is so logical that jone can dispute its lesson; It exhibits a President not only without a party, but almost literally With- out a friend; and the peril of the situation is in the unmistakable tendency of the Re- &NS'!-SaS5l?rt: deo installed as Chief Magistrate. True, the aim is revolutionary; but who is to stay revolution when none- object to its fruits?
