ASHEVILLE CITIZEN; R. M. FURMAN, JORDAN STONE, J. D. CAMERON.- j-EDITOM. VVED'DAY EVEN'G. Sept. 2, '85. ' as ,oq pes AJsrwcris- Considerable Interest hag been ex cUed in Neyr brk' by the rumors that come, or purport; lo come' from Europe to theeffect. that Germany proposes to obtain possession of the island of Cuba, whether by purchase Or forcible occupalioirV does not ap pear. The latter would "be the'moet '"' probable, because in the present re- ,. lations between Germany and Spain , the latter would not look for a mo ment to the .transfer of: her, most cherished possession to on who has so recently insulted ' bet" Vy the oc cupationiPf;apthergrpupof islands over which Spain has had nominal ' sovereignty for three hundred years. Perhaps fie seizure of the Caroline ' Islands was ihtended as an aggres - siyeLaci, pleading "to war, which wouldive the opportunity desired to lay hold amCuoa, which Germa ny might do ; in defiance of any force Spain might oppose on land or sea. . Perhaps, however, the rumor was orisrinated to stimulate . th interest of the people of the -United States, and to nrevent the possibilities of "(he island passing under the con .trolofany other European power than Spain. The acquisition of Cuba has long been a cherished ob ject with many ofo,ur statesman, 'and the coveted prize of many a filibuster. Negotiations for pur chase have been made time without number; and numerous expeditions have been thrown upon its shores, relying upon the disloyalty of the natives to hold possession,1 and then .turn it over as a conquest "to the care of our Government The good sense of the country has, decreed that Cuba should remain as it is, in a condition pf quasi neutrality, giv ing no . uneasiness, to our. trade, giv ing us good markets for our pro ducts, and supplying us on good TEN TITOUSAND PERSONS DROWNED. 'terras,, with the products of the tropics. So long as the island re mains in the possession of Spain, too weak to be aggressive, and too politic to be insolent, the people of thig country prefer to be free from the charge of aa acquisition which would bring with it numerous bur dens and responsibilities. The case would be -different Germany or England were to acquire possession, lhe island lies at our very doors; lies across the path of our transit . from one part of our coast territory to the other; on the very highway of our trade, not only between our own ports, but between us and Mexico and Central Ameri ca, and a most j important part of South America; commanding also the sea route to our Pacific coast territory, and the west coast of South America. It is easy to foresee what obstruction could be placed upon those paths by such powerful com mercial rivals as.Germany and Eng land, with, military force and naval forcefully adequate to enforce any aggression.. . ... . The . united States could never consent to such transfer. It can never suffer itself to be gagged and bound, as it would lie, '.when a great European power L held watch and ward at our very door j' 1 and stood guard over the movements which are now free and unrestrained. We do not want Cuba. But it must re main with Spain, or it must be free, Or it m ust be ours. It cannot go to Germany. or England..

A dispatch from Washington says: "Details of the destruction in Can ton, China and vicinity ; by the great rain, storm there have been received by private parties in this city The flod was-tne most serious which has visited Canton in thirty years. More than leu thousand persons lost their lives' and a far greater number are left in a starving condition. E atire villages were engulfed, and the rice'and silk crops in the vicinity, were almost .ruined. The price oi rice has been ' raised eighteen per cent in consequence of the loss or the crop, lhe ram lei the latter part of June, overflowing all the rivers. Many . of the streets of Canton' were flooded for over week. At Si : Ni city the water broke through the city-wall. It is reported that several thousand people were drowned in that place, The embankments ol the rivers were broken in numerous places and the waters swept across the surrounding ' country, carrying everything before it. - A foreigner, who was an eye-witness of the scenes of destruction, reports that r t a At v one mgcu me Doat ne occupiea, anchored near a bamboo grove; By morning the water had risen to the tops of the bamboos. At other points it rose as high as forty feet during a night-time.' The inhabi tants fled from the villages and camped on the hillsides. At Kun In, a marketplace, situa ted near an embankment of one of the streams connected with - the river which brings water from the North and West rivers, theniaiority ol the inhabitants were drowned by the water breaking through the embankment. Some escaped to a piece ol rising ground in the neigh borhood: but the water continued to rise, and gradually overtopped the elevation, drowmg those who stood upon it! Seventeen Chinese grad nates in Canton, hearing of the dis tress and suffering prevalent in their native villages, took passage on ' a boat, with a view to proceeding home to render what assistance they could. On the way the boat was capsized, and all who were in it drowned. In some places parents led their children on the high branches of trees, whilst they insti tuted measures for their general safety. - The trees were washed up by the roots, and the heartrending cries of the children were silenced in the surging waters. The body of a bride dressed in her bridal robes was found floating in the river at Canton. A large tub was also seen. It was picked up and found to contain a boy and a girl. With them was a paper stating their names, and the day and hour of their' birth. Their parents had instituted this means to save the life of their offspring. The writer of the letter from which the above is taken, says : "The suffering that is being endured by thousands .in this prov ince is simply heartrendering. Children are calling to their parents that they are hungry, and the broken-hearted parents can only reply, with their eyes blinded with tears, that they have nothing to give them. These floods will, of course, bring other calamities. The subsiding waters will leave an alluvial deposit that will burden the atmosphere with malarial poison. The people are obliged to use the hithiest and dirtiest water, which must give them all sorts of disease. The non pro gressive character of these people leaves them helpless and undone in the face ofcalamitv, and all they can do is to beat gongs, burn in cense, howl to the heavens that are as brass, pray to one idol to go and cause another to stop his raining, prohibit the killing of pigs, close the north gate, snub the northern ruler. and then take their chance." ', West Virginia seems to have been the mark for pestilence and famine, two conjunctions, of calamity very unusual; in a country so largely blessed as the United 5 States. Last year a cry went up not before heard, of suffering from causes new to this country. Recently theory is"" re newed: 'v :,wVj i - A disoatclr from Wheeling- say "A panic prevails- in . that part , of Clay county, W, , Va lying along Sycamore creek, " arising irom. the ravages of a strange fatal, disease among the : few inhabitants of : that region.
