Havana, July 23—In a previous letter mention was made of a commission of Cubans who bad gone over to Spain with a view of sounding the Kegent and his administrauon for some arrangement that might end the con- test now going on in the island Little im- portance was attached to their movements ai the time, but recent developments show that t. bas attamed some partof its object. What is re- lated was derived from trustworthy sources and is of an exceedingly important character. The members of the commission went to work quietly, and, without offending Spanish panc- ullio, arranged for conference with certain leading supporters of the Government, and have been since, on convenient occasions, gradually unfolding their plans. The scheme Most at heart with the commission is the pur- chase of Cuba by the Cubans from the Spanish Government. The able representative of Oes- les to the Government at Washin; bas m fully advised of these plane. and My Fish ‘was in proper time duly notified of the card bat was beg played at the Court of Madrid. You will remember that not long since, when pproached by Mr. Ruiz Cuba, he expressed his sympathy with the in- rgente, and said that the United States Gov- nment was acting such 3 Ce as would best benefit all parties. Mr. Fish’s policy seems to have been to see that the neutrality laws should be faithfully executed; to give the Spaniards @ fair chance to do that which was deemed im} ble—that is to say, to re- cover the Island—and then the Adminis. tration at Washington could interpose its good offices at the right moment, with all the force of its consistency on the subject of the tion of belligerent rights. ‘Was infermed .as to these di- rere on the part of the Uaban Com- mission, and it is supposed that he is to work im accord with the members of that body now in Madrid, and ina manner at once prudent and persevering.

The further west we go the earlier in the day will theeclipse occ! until we reach Alaska, where it comes about both on account of the difference of apparent time (it being at the -ame actual Moment sunset ou cur Atlantic coast and near moon on the Pacific) aed because the moon travels over the sun from west to east, so that it takes nearly two hours of actual time for the shadow to traverse our continent. The nearer to noon the phenemena occurs ihe better for observations, especially photographic ones, as there is less risk of baze or cloud about the sun. The duration of the total phase is also jonger where the eclipse occars at noon; for then the surface of the earth is moving nearly in the same direction as the moon and its stad- Ow. and so tends to keep im the shade longer. Near sunrise or sunset the surface of the earth would be simply moving teward or trem the moon, And this motion (of one thousand miles 4m hour) would therefore have uo effect in keepiLg up With the moving shadow.
