Thus The Star's corre- akes issue with the statement se columns the other day that General's letter must be a appointment.

The Cestroyed the ge Attorney General, however, seems to con- fire his reply to a strict following of the text of the Inquiry and The Star can see no interlineal indications of an official or personal decision by the Attorney General on th constitutionality of the act of 1846. Apparently he refuses to commit himse!f in one way or the othef on that point. If he had tn fact said that in his opinion retrocession was unconstitutional, and that the only legislation necessary was such, if ary, as might be advisable to cause the United States to test the validity of retro- cession in the Supreme Court, his answer would not have been disappointing. Assum- ing tha: the act of 1846 is unconstitutional it does not clearly follow that no legislative action whatsoever is necessary to regain for Conere jurisdiction in fact over the retroceded territory. Such jurisdiction, whatever its legal rights, is not now exer- clsed by Corgress, and if some other branch of the national government ought to hav: instituted in the past or ought now to insti tute the judicial proceedings which wili cause the law and the fact in this matter to become identical, then a legislative prod- ding to that other branch of government, urging it to the performance of its duty, would at least seem to be in order. > e—_____ On to Canton. Going to Canton nowadays-is a cheap and pleasant way of killing two birds with one stone, so to speak. In the first place, it procures a capital advertisement for the friend of the visitor, of whom, up to that time, the general public has probably never thought as a cabinet possibility. In the second place, what a magnificent card it is for the visitor himself. By the telegraphic announcement of his arrival and mo ments at Canton, all the world is given to understand that he is a fellow of ponderous in:portance and influence. Elther Mr. Mc- Kinley has sent for him to ask him what had better be done about this thing or that, or he is of consequence enough to 50 to Canton on his own motion to volunteer advice on the points that are bothering the mind of thé President-elect. Big thing, either way, and well worth the cost of rall- way fare and a hotel bill at Canton for a nalf a day or so. —_———__+ + +_____ In view, doubtless, cf the fact that it is now proposed to use the new city post office building as a grand stand inaugura- tion day, the force of men was today in- creased by fifty per cent.

The patriots are busy. Gen- eral Gomez has left Cubitas and the eastern two provinces behind him, and is making his way, cautiously but steadily, across Santa Clara toward the Spanish’ capital. He ts still, it 3 true, some 250 miles from Havana. But he is also about 100 miles from Cubitas, which fact provokes the in- quiry why the Spaniards make no attempt to seize the latter place. They are sup- posed to have a garrison at Puerto Principe, only a day’s march distant, and another at the port. of Nuevitas. Why do they not send an army up to the hills, seize Cubitas, and proclaim to the world that the rebel capital is in their hands? Seeing that they have four or five times as many soldters as the Cubans, it seems not to their martial credit that they should devote more atten- tion to defending their own capital than to attacking that of the enemy.
