THE . CUBAN CRISIS.

LOUIS KOIAFENLR was in a hurty to sco a lady, but stolo timo enough to eay that lio had no sympathy with fili- Lustors who fook their livos in thoir hands to mako war onn countrs with which we wero af penco; but tho inbumanity of tho Spauiard should bo robuked, and o insult offored our flag in some way avonged. CAPT. LDVARD CUNIFFE, of the Irish Ritles, Bheridan Guards, aftor an enlerlnining disquisition on intoroational law and Spanish treachery, stated that his Company hod discussed tho possibility of war, and they wore rondy to a man to defond tho honor of tho Btara and_ Stripes. Spouking pn tho milltary queation, tho Captain deplored tho fact that tho Btato gavo but little oncouragement to military compnanies, Thoy had to find their own uniforms and armories, tho Btate giving thom nothing but muskots, Mauny young men would join tho compenics in “the ‘city but for (ho exponse it eufoiled. Somothing should bo done, thought the Captulu, to foster tho military spirit tosomo extout av least, 6o that when an emor- goney camo, mon thoroughly drilled would bo rnndi' to tako the fleld. In a large and growing city liko Chicago thoro aliould bo a regimont or two of disciplined troops, GEN, M'CLURG being called upon fiuvu L cfilnlona 08 followa: havo no sympathy with tho men who have Pprocipitated this quarrol, and T beliove that the: met a fato which thoy had only too well deserved. 1 am far from belng one of thosa who rojoico ot a good pretoxt for a war which might resull in tho nonexation of Cuba, I believo tho island, ;with hor turbnlont and troachorous peoplo, could bo nothing but n curso to us. I should pro- forto fianerfih rathorthan south for now tarritory, (But what theso mon may Liave beon, or what pos- #iblo results may come from & war, aro not what ‘wo havo to consider, And if I underatand tho +facts of the cnso aright, I cannot soc how our Goverumont has any course loft but toresont the ‘foraible taking of our own citizons on our own «erritory (for such tho dock of tho \'irginiuu +was), and thoir summary condomnation and exe- -oution by an unsuthorized power. The disrogard of tho just and salutary rules of intorndtional law is & worsa thing than way, and it is not more ohivalry, but tho brondest charity to mankind, to maintain theso rules even at the cost of bload, Thoe duty which wo owed to oursclves nnd the Degro in the late war wo would owo to the world this, I causcarcoly believe that such apol- ogy will bo wanling na will avert war; but ghould it come as the result of this outrage, I think it would be o most pop- ular ono, cspecially at this timo. Were f not fattered, I can imagine few more tempting ways of npnuélng tho wintor than in & southern cam- paign. Our navy may bo badly propared for the omorgency, owing to the cconomy of our pol- iticiaus (rathor then political economy), but tho matorial is in our officers and mon, and it will not take long to give them ships, If thearmy and voluntcera got a chauce, with Gen. Shor- \dan at the hord of * operations in the flold, as doubtless ho would be, I don't think we should ga at war long—perhaps Mr. Beward’s ninoty ays. GEN. M'ARTIUR, the Postmestor, wag iuquired for in the Post- Office, but he had not beon thero all day, What particular branch of local politics he hnd hold of ieuturdly could not bo definitely ascertained, ut it was rumored around town that he was working to make * Bill” Turtlo Chief of Police. Axnyway, wo missod gotting his viewa on tho Cuban quostion, if ho had any, published this morning. COL. OUARLES KNODLESDODF, who served for two and ono-half years during the rebollion, as Colonel of the Forty-fourth Hllinois Light Infantry, aud way a Prussisn ofti- ser during the Sohloawlg-Holatein war, for which he drawa & pension, said to Tux TRIZUNE report- #r that it was his impression that the question now before the public is one that should be set- Med ot once. Ho thought that, if Spain declined Yo punish the porpotratora of the atracious doeds, ‘he United States should at onco talo possession of Qubs, aud hinder the possibility of such acts in the future. Wae thougit that tlie continuance of the atruggle in Guba for 8o many yoars was & diegrace to tho United Statos, and its continu- auco would bo & slill groater ono. He thonght buat in tho ovent of a war with Spain the conolusion could not be otherwiso than favorablo Yo the United Statos, In the prosont state of affairs there would be no danger of interforence by foreign powors. That the Spanieh soldiery is completely demorahzed, he considered to bo fully proved by the cruclty and cowardico of thoir sote, The Cuban insurrectionists should, long ago, have boon scknowledged s belligor- enta by tho Uniled States, the crueltion of tho Spaniards been put an end to, and the struggle conducted on the Erinoipls! of intor-Stato mili- tary law, with oxchango of prigoners taking the lace of their wholesale dostruction, Ho thought e United States wau not prepared for war, but then sho wes fully 88 much so as Spain, whoso present circumstances wore very unfavorabloto sho conducting of & war with 60 powerful and dlutant o land 88 tho United Statos, Ho ox- ?mnad himself quito favorably _inclined oward the annoxation of Cubs, and thought fhat tho inhebitants Sof 'that island, with & good governmont, would in & short spuco of time becomo good citlzens, If the country bias any ides of interforing in Cuban affatrs, now ornover is the time to do o, Tho main objee- tion to tho giving up of Cuba by the Spahiards is the intonso pride of that nation. The losa of Ouba to the Spaniarda would prove an absolute goin to them, Freed from the {noubus of a colonial robellion, the Government could orush the one at home, and raiso the Ropublic upon n firm foothold, Asit fs, with tho two Insurrec- tions on hand, sho will have the powor to queil nelther the one nor the otber, The Interference of tha United States should be affooted at once, and in 50 bold & mannor sa to loave do doubt of the ezrnestness of the intention, COL, JTBSEN anid he had not given the subject'sufficlont ate tention ¢o be able to givo an opinion upon it in all lta different bearinga, Ho thought tho nation should domand instant and full raparation for the insult. The case, he conaidored, to bo mado out ageinst the Spaniards, American cltizons esiling upon an Amorican vessol, under Amoerican colors, have baon solzed and cxeouted, tho aot being the same ap if commiited u‘puu T American goil. The question of tho advisability vof snnexing Cnha he oonsidered to boe very doubtful, Ho thought thero wore almost ir- .reooncilable differences botwoen the rrces of ‘the two countries, and that a pormsnent unicn of both, under ono Government, could hardly bo consummatod more onsily thou that of Sun Domiuge. His oxperionce, howaver, was thut wherever tho mere 1ontion of the annexation of the island was mado it waa received with en- thusisem by Americans, Ho thonght a meeting of citizops should be called for the pur[lwnu of having Ohicago's opluton with rogard to the magsacron, GEN. 4, L, OUETLATH, who gerved five youra in tho srmy during the Jobellion, wau found s hiwoffica in the Home ‘Natiounl Bank, No, 53 Houth Hulsted streot.

I have no doubt that thoy focl the nation has beon ine sulted, and wo are bound to roscut the fusuls, GEN, J, 1l TURCHIY, who served in the Faderal army for three years during tho av, expressed hiumelf in very de- ciad terms, In anwwer to tho fivst quory of tho roportor au to what ho thought of tlie aitair, ho said promptly: “I thiuk they ought to bo thrashed." Toporter—Then you have no doubt about the criminality of tho et ? Gen, Turchin—There are various points with rogard to the vessel and tho crew on board which socin to Lo otill doubtful, but it 18 ovidont that tho Spaniards woro in oo much of & hurry alto- gother. It intimo such thingy were put an end to, Reporter—\What do you thiui tLo gonoral feol- ing of the public is in the matter ? Uen, Lurchin—Thero is o great doal of exclto- mont tn all parts, ond the sympathy for the un- fortunates murdored is univorsal, "he peoplo all are vory strongly inclined {o a fight, ‘Thoy foel that tho insult must bo punished, and the recurronce of such harbaritios provented, R(a)urtor—\vhn.t do you think it is tho duty of the Government to do at prosent ? * Gon, Tarchin—To act iu consouance with the wishes of tho people, which I think thoy will do. T'he streugth and success of Prosident Lincolu's war-administration lay in the fact that Lo was ovor walchlul of publie sympathics and desires. I hopo Grant Is not so dull-load od a8 not to fol- low Lincoln's examplo, Roporter—And you think tho nation haa set its hoart on having roparation ? -Gon, 'Turchin—1 do. plensod me groatly, is the intonso foeling which the masaacro hag crestod in tho Bouth. 1t shows me that the SBouthernera still feol a pride in the old flag, and aroroady to avengo any insult of- fored to it. Ttoportor—What do_you think of the prospect of Cubn's annoxation ? Gon. Turchin—I object to the idea of tho United Statos taking possession of Cuba, Wo should holp the Cubuns to boeomo indopendent, and then, if thoy oxprossed a wish to join tho Union, to lot them do wo by sll moane. Iua stratogio point of view, tho island is of im- moneo importanee, If one of tho States of the Union, it, with Koy Wost, would bo the koy to tho Gulf of Moxico. We have ouly the Ilittle Ieland of Key West at prosont as o station, which is nltogother too insignificant. With Cubn, Koy West, and as good fleet a8 tho United States ought to possess, wo would be tha mastora of the Westorn waters, Reportor—What are your views as to tho pros- ont conditicn of 8pain ? Gen. Torchin—1 have watched tho varying condition of Spanish affairs for somo yonrs wltE considernblo 1nterest, and just now I'would not like to seo anything happen which would damago Bpain. If the ropublican form of Governmont is firmly establivhed in Franco and Bpain, thore is no_doubt that tho wholo of Europo will bo- come o Ropublic, Ton years ago, Spaln was o bigotod, unprogressive monnrehy, ‘I'ho immonso progress of the country towards liboral govern- mont within the past threa years givos us reason to hope, if nothing stays tho progress, of the pormanoent establishmont of the Republio beforo ong. Reporter—What do you think of the Spaniards 88 soldiers 2 Gen. Turchin—I think thoy are very good soldiers. They havo shown thomselves to bo such in many wars, As Epain is now embar- rasged, howover, I think she is mot strong enough to copo with America. Roportor—What numbor of soldiers do you think thot she has fu Havana ? Gon, Turchin—I think that, including the Voluntoers, sho hny about 100,000, Roportor—What number of men would consti- tuto u suffeiontly atragfi invading army ? Gen, Turchin—I think that, with from 16,000 to 20,000 men to form a nuclous for the insur- rectionists to rally round, the more important portion of tho islaud could bo held agninst the Spaniards. The topography of the island is such that concontration at iny one point 18 im- possiblo, and the insurrectionists conld be fully equippod sud armed by the invaders before any serlous resistance could be made, GEN. 0. L. MANN, The noxt vetoran inferviewod was Brevet-Brig~ ndier-Goenoral O. L. Mann, who was of opinion that tha scizure of tho Virginius and the execu~ tion of Lor crow was s high-handed outrage, for which the porpstrators ought to be summarily and serlously punished, The Governmont ought to demand the return of the bont and the surrendor for puuishmont of tho leaders inter- osted or implicated in the slaughter of her pas- songors and crow, Ho thought tho Governmont ought to show ita detormination {o maintain our rights on tho high scas--ss woll as upon land, and the general feoling is that thoy ought to interfore in tho matter ot once, Gen. Mann statod that on Sunday evening ho had racelved o committes of threo, representing n largo number of intolligont la- ‘borers, who offered their servicos to their coun- try at any moment it might raquire thom, Wo thought that in forty-oight hours 10,000 troops for Quba could be zeised in Obieago alone, no deop-geated s the Fltr{ouo fuehn;f which calla for a resontment of tho outrago. The ac~ tivity in tho Navy-Yarde gives rigo to the hope that tho Government is dotormined, aud Is gl'alng to take & firm position ; tho abaenco of the Fros- ident from Washington gives rike to less hopoful viows of tho subjeot, Gen, Mann nx{u-aasud (m- self as unfavorablo to the ncquisition of Cuba, Bave 08 & menns of revenge. The Cubans he characterizod as a semi-civilized not, who would raquire, for yoars & standing army to keep them in ordor, COL, A, P, BTEVENSON, Gon, Sherldsn'a Inspector General durlng the war, and, at presant, Clerit of the Suparior Court of ook County, thought It wan the duty of the Goyornmont (o avenge the insult to tho fing, and the American livas tnkeu, The only way full reparation could ho takon was to have the mon responsible for the deed dollvered over and oxecutod, and while America has her hand n the business sho ought not to etay her hinnd until tho internal war in Cuba wos utoréped, as it haa boon a brutal conflict, marked by tho most flend- ish atracitica on tho part of the Hpanisvdas, He did not think tho inhabitanta of Cubs, 88 thoy aro at prosent, would bo a dosirablo acquisition to the conntry, but the island itsolf would. Tho {n’obnbimy s that, it it could be Leld us o territory by the United Btatos forsbout ten yours, it would, at the canclusion ot its torri- tarinl careor, bo rendy to join the Union nsn State, By fhis tims tho ‘influx of Amorican ontarprise, the ostablishing of schools, and con- Bcquont rulsing of the intolligenco of the rising geuoration, would have'given the Government n lrm footing, Thure is no doubt ibnt Havana would hecome a favored epot for European as well ag Amorican emigration.

"Upon thia sssurance, with tho word of honor of the mes- songor, Mr. Young and his wifo acceded to the rcqunsL and started.
