Cuba and the United States—4 Spanish Ame- Fican Orusade. [Translated for the New York Hersli.] The Universal of Mexico disausses in a series of arti- oles the question of Cuba, vis-a-vis of the United States. In these it labors to show the anslogy between this ques- tion andthe Eastern question, and to prove that the Spanish American people are equally interested in re- pelling the advance of the United States in that direo- tion, as the Western Powers are in pretecting Turkey from the Czar. The only difference between te two is, says the Universal, that Russia aspires to dominate in Europe in the name of despotism, and the United States aepires to cominate in America in the name of liberty. There it is monarchical tyranny which is scught to be imposed bere it is popular tyranny. Repugnant as both are, the last is most unsupportable, because it is hypo critical, and is exercised in the largest extension. tt is bypoeritical, because it is covered with the mask of iil 'y; and it is exercised in a wider space, because the ple are everywhere. When » monarch ie » tyrant hs can be fled from; how can oni pe from tyraony when the tyrant is the people? * * For those who have followed the march of events for two yeare past, the sympatbies existing between the United States and Rusais are not a mystery. ‘the latter exercise in America the same rdleas the former does in Europe, and it is natural that they give each other the hand. The United States know that if the Allies-triumph in the contest, they will carry every where their victorious flag, to cover with it the territo ries threatened by unmeasured ambition. England and France will then come to America to tell the republic of Washington what is the will of the nations with respect to the security amd ‘incependence of each, and the co- Josaus will have to halt in its carcer, and to adjust its future policy to the code of justice and of morality adopted by humen societies. ‘Therefere, we, although there were no otber reason, would be, in the question of the East, on the side of the Allied Powers throug reason of convenience. It sults us that Spain do not lose the inland of Cuba, for this motive, among oth that if she one it, it hes to fall into the hands of the United States; and from the moment that the United States get Cuba, the independence of Spanish America may be re- warded as copcluced. The triumph of the Allies in Ku- rope would ward off thatevil. Therefore, we aay that the question of Cuba has not only an analogy with the question of the Kast, but cepends upon it, * * Spanish Amerisa, in the question of Cubs, is called upor to defend the same principles of morality, of jus- tice, and of international law, as Europe is in the East- ern war. It is true that each of these countries, takin, art in that immense crusade, will detend its security eat its independence; but in this there is ne egotiem of any kind, but s noble and legitimate sentiment of copservatism. And therefore the mission of there peo- od cannot be mors gicrioas, when tt is considered that e government defends, with their independence and their ‘onality, @ religion which has civilized these re- gions—a history illuscrated by so many great evente— an entire continent im with the finest conquests of the Catholic civitization—a race, in fine, which has for three centuries executed the sion of dissipating tne dark nese of barbarity, and has gathered under its banners the soldier of the cross and the Catholic missionary. * * The first consequence of these rights and that the Spanish American countries o1 United States, every time that they take afanator,’the Teason of their conduct; ou intervene every way in the tiation: which may be established on the fature destioy of Cah that they ovght to have cognizance of every meas it in adopted to change the present con‘itions of the island, heed in referenee to a translation ef do- minion to another Power, but also having for object an emancipation, which is impossible, and which would be the gorm of Itke dangers for us.

A Catholic Priest Ais Wife. CURIOUS CHAPTER IN MABBIED LIFE. (From the Chicago Tribune, June 13.) The case of the people ex relaiione Nicholas Stamber vs. Antbony Schnieder, which came befere the courtof Com- mon Pless of Ceok county, Hon, Johe M. Wilson, presid- isg, on Saturday, presents a curious picture of married life, and revea's some strange practices on the part of the Catbaile clergy, and some equally strange matters of fasth on the part ‘of the more ignorant portion of their jocks. It appeara that, abeut a year Nicholas Stauber, then a priest of the Cathelic eharcb, was united in mar- riage with Apna Maris “chniecer, a German girl, the daughter of the defendant, and Catholic. The marriage ceremony was capt by Father Peter Kramer, in a private reom, without the use of the wed- ding ring, and without witnesses. In all other respects the marriage ceremony was performed according to the rites of the Catholic church, the parties ag! and comsentin, pieets, peels ‘to bemenand wife to each other, and the pi giving the nuptial benediction And pronouncing them man and wife, after the ceremony, Father Nieholas took the girl home and hept her ae an upper servant or housekeeper, treat ivg her bindly and paying her wages regularly. The gir! seys herself that, although he always spoke of her as wife, ey. occupied separate apartments. Some three months since she left his house, and went to Niles, Michigan, where ahe entered a family in the capacity of a servant. Her own account is, that both ber marriage to and desertion from. her husbad were in accordance with the advice of her parents and friends. To use ber own language, ‘she was talked into it” Up to the time of his wife’s leaving Father Ni- ebolas bad continued bis public mimistration in the church, but since then we understand he has been de- pored from the priesthood, as bas also Father Peter Tamer. Thin suit was brought in the chancery side of the Court of Common Pleas, by the husband, to recover pos- vession of his wife, whom be alleged was WMegally de tained from him by Anthony Schneider. The writ issued commsanéing Schneider to produce the body of Anna ver of Juve, by 7. 8. Buckley, Geputy.sherif ‘On. goin of June, . 8. Bas uty ¥ 01 into the country to verve the writ, he found anes dary at the house of one Judson, about four miles from her father’s residence, and took her with him. On Saturday, the defendant appeared before the Hon. John M. Wilron, in the Court of Commop Pleas, and, in ebedience to the writ, produced the body of hie daugh ter. Tbe husband was also present. For the purpose of ascertaining the true state of the case, and of finding out what her wishes wero in regard to living with her husband, the Court ordered the room to be cleared of all persons éxcept the officers of the courffan interpreter, ny 7 ters for the press, and proceeded to question 0 girl. ‘We are not, of course, at liberty to disclose all that wax then elicited: but it appeared in addition to the above facta that she did mot consider the marriage legal or binding, because her husband was a priest; that sho left ber husband of her own accord; and that che wished now to go with her parents and stay with them, and not to go with her husband; that the reason that she wished to leave her huaband was that she had been edusated in the belief that she could never go to heaven if she Hved im marriage with a priest; but that no threats whatever had been made te her by her parents, by the priests, ur She gave her name as Anns Mary Sobnie- ot as Anna Mary Stamber. ft a perfectly valid and legal one by the laws of this State, although it might be s matter of discipline in their own church; that she could not mar: ther ving, but that s! as not compelled to live with him, and asked whom she would go with—her husband or her father? She answered promptly, with her father. ‘The doors were then reopened, and her husband and parents, the attorneys on both sides, and the other members, of the bar re-entered. The husband was in- formed that the body of his wife had been produced, and that she was here in court; thet the marriage, by the laws of Imois, was ESS. al and valid, but that ho was not to use any force in compeiling her to go with him. ‘The busband now walked'across the room to where the Indy stood, and intimated to her his desire that she abould go home with him. But she resolutely refused, aor could all his persuasions induce her to waver in her de- termination. She left the court with her parents, and the last we saw of the disconsolate spouse he was follow- ing in the e of his wife, pouring forth his en- treaties, to which she turned a deaf ear, Desravotive Storm IN Kawroonr— Geass Da- Anteresting from Brazil.
