ENGLISH OPINION OF THE AMERICAN INTERNA- TIONAL FINANCIAL PROPOSITION. ’ Loxpon, Jan. 21, 1876. Tho Times, im a leading editorial article on American Ginance this morning, indorses Senator Sherman's proposition looking toa common unit for money and accounts for the United States and Great Britain, The writer says that America, in returning to specio payments, will almost enter upon a new phase of monetary development. Therefore the “change in the American standard of values will involve no serious shock to social and commercial arrangements such as would ensue upon an alteration in the value of the British sovereign.” The Times thinks the proposition opens no less a Prospect than the establishment of a common mone- tary system for all English speaking peoples, “who by the end of this century will probably rule or influence the people of the greater part of the earth’s surface and monopolize even a larger share of its commerce.” gaa ister. cnboreaeienet BRITISH FINANCE AND TRADE, rs WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE MONETARY AND COM- MERCIAL OPERATIONS.

WASHINGTON. Diplomatic Gossip on Our Re- lations with Spain. A DAY OF EULOGY IN CONGRESS. Reduction and Consolidation in the Diplomatic Service. EXPENDITURES IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT Proposed Appropriation of Centennial Thunder by the Democrats, FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasumnaton, Jan, 21, 1876. THE RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES TO CUBA—PRESENT CONDITION OF THE STRUG- GLE IN THAT ISLAND AND ITS PROSPECTS— THE INFLUENCES WHICH PROLONG THE CON- TEST—VIEWS OF DIPLOMATISTS IN WASH- INGTON. The Cuban situation and the future of our relations with Spain are frequent topies of conversation here among diplematists and travellers, and in such a circle to-day some opinions were given and suggestions made by persons having exceptional opportunities for know- ing the course of events in the island by recent ob- servation and by knowledge of its people and resources, which, while in no sense official, seem to shed light upon some phases of what appears to everybody hero an intricate problem, The President, in bis Message, showed in the most conclu- sive’ manner that neither the granting of bel_ ligerent rights nor recognition of Cuban independence is possible for us or warranted by the condition of the insurgents. But, having with singular clearness made this demonstration, he went on to say that the situa- tion would, unless it were materially changed, force him to propose some other measure to Congress before its adjournment, Now, what other measure can he Propose, except a war with Spain? is what everybody asks. “Prim,” said a diplomatist, who knew bim very well, and thinks he was the ablest statesman Spain has had in recent years; ‘Prim, I happen to know, would have forced a war on the United States, if, while ho was at the head of affairs, he bad seen that Spain must lose Cuba, His idea was that to be beaten by so great a Power as the Union was not disgraceful ; to surrender Cuba to the insurgents would be rainous and shamoful Whether the present rulers of Spain are equal to such an idea remains to be sebn, or whether the President may not have done his best to give them a hint to such an end.” “It ts useless to expect, as Mr. Fish apparently does, that Spain will make any reforms in Cuba, or restore the island to pence, except by abandoning it,” said a gentleman who has been more than once a member of a diplomatic corps and who knows Cuba and Spain ex_ tremely well and long. “The struggle will go on, as it went on for 89 many years in the Spanish American colo- nies. Moro and more of tho cultivated parts of tho island will be destroyed by the insurgents; last year they devastated over forty plantations, Within six weeks they have laid waste several, This is their true course, and they will pursue it, for the Spanish forces cannot prevehtthem. Cuba is one of the most fertile spots on our globe; its 1,500,000 of people—not all producers by any means—turn out an export every year of from $100,000,000 to $120,000,000 in value. You tn this country seem to forget that this is the product of slave labor. It is remarkable that, with all the destruction worked by the insurgents, the Island has not, until the present year, yielded qnuch less than its average product during peace, As the rebels ad- vance the planters have drawn their slave gangs back; they have more energetically and skilfully cultivated a narrower area, and there is no doubt that they have made a great deal of money in spite of the fact that they have had to submit to the exactions, not only of the Spanish authorities on one hand, but of the insur- gents on the other, to whom many planters secretly pay heavy tribute for the privilege of continuing their industry. Unless I am much mistaken the next year will show a large decrease im the product of sugar. The destruction continues and increases; tho exhaustion of heavy exactions begins to be felt, and there will come a day—no one can tell how far it is off—when tho Spanish proprietors will try to sell out and go back to Spain, This was the course of events in all the old Spanish-American colonies. Spain can- not prevent it. She loses, as one of the Captain Gen- ernis told me himself, seventy-Qve per cont of the sol- diers she sends out by disease in the first year of their arrival, and desertions are constantly more numerous. It is a fatal land for campaigning, as you will find if ever an American army is sent there.” “The insurgents," continued this speaker, ‘‘have not much brains among them. Their idea is to be free of Spain, like the Central American republics, They have bit on the right policy—of destruction. Nothing else would serve them. The Spaniards in the meantime, like all slaveholders, look only to making as much money as they can, You must remember that the im- mense yield of the island goes into but a few pocket but the owners of these pockets are getting tired of pay- ing out so machas they do, for they largely support both sides in the war. Cuba is no longer a source of reve_ nue to Spatn, but rather of loss The volunteers of the Casino rule; Spain furnishes them with successive armies and they allow Spanish officers to enrich them- selves, That is the process.” “Bat,” asked another, ‘‘under these circumstances what can we do?!” “You can do nothing; for the moment you move in the matter you get yourselves into a mess which will cost you a great deal of money and many lives and can bring you no honor or profit, Modintion 18 out of the question; Spain will not ask itand the United States cannot force it, Simple intervention means war, It means that yoo shall sena a fleet and an army to Cuba. You are to do this, asthe Prosident’s Message hints, because of the interruption to the production of the island by the long struggle. Bat do you not see that the moment an American force lands in Cuba you utterly disorganize and stop all production? Sagar and tobacco are grown in that island entirely by slave labor. Your Orst act must be to free the slaves, and, as they are mainly savage native Africans, if they are free in that tropical land goodby to the sugar crop. “There have been at different times in Madrid,” be continued, ‘‘persons not without authority who sug- gested that In the Inst resort it might be possible for Spain to set the island free on the condition that the President of the United States, who has so long taken such an extraordinary intorest in its fate, should agree to guarantee such part of the Spanish debt as Cuba might be made to assume, Thero aro Spaniards would think it a good bargain thus to get rid of m part of their troublesome national debt, and the creditors of Spain would never think of discouraging the idea. If ever such a negotia- tion begins it will receive the favor of some Spanish public men, but I should think {t would hardly got much favor here, except among annexationists and speculators and I don’t believe tho President favors annexation.” “So long as the production of sugar continues in the istand remains profitable so long the plantors, the volunteers of the Casino and the officials will unite to arg’ Spain to prolong the struggle, That is the whole situation, When itis no longer profitable, and very profitable, to produce sugar there—profitable, I mean, not only to the planters but to the officials who live on the planters—then the struggle will draw to a close Now, this may happen in one of two ways—either tho insurgents may advance and destroy so large a part of the cultivated area of the islamd that the re- mainder will not yield s surplus, for the Spaniards, or you, who are by far the largest consumers of Cuban | products, may bay elsewhere, Suppose the President should recommend to Congress to adopt s heavy differ- ential duty against Cadan and siave grown sugar and in favor of the sugar of Mexico and Central America, | grown by free labor? Those countries can undoubtedly | supply your demand with but litth encouragement, and | you have besides tn vane wn territory, in Louisiana, ’ assembled | Beiru 7 Texas and Florida, « very great area of sugar producing | show their good fecling in the matter and to express land. If your Congrese adopted such a policy Spain could not complain, It would be a form of interven- tion not hostile and consonant with your national P olicy, which encourages free labor and would not en- courdge slavery. You would redecm yourselves from the semi-bondage in which you live to the slave grown products of Cubs and, what seems to me of philosophical importance, you would not be tempted to interrupt a struggle which, for the good of the Cubans themselves, must, I think, go on until they win their own independence, as they surely will in the course of time and events. If they themselves gain tt they will be strong enough to keep it. If you, by im- timidation which must lead to war, secure it for them they will be children on your bands, Finally, you ought to discourage slavery and you ought to ¢ncour- age your free neighbors in Mexico and Central America who offer you, if you only would take it, a hundred- fold greater market for your own products than the lit- tle island of Cuba, and can supply you with all the tropical products you require, grown by free men, your natural allies,” Here the conversation ended.

DAWES SEVERELY CRITICISED, ‘The funeral speeches wero as thick as autumn leaves in the House and Senate to-day. In nearly every in- stance they were read from manuscript. Not more than two dozen of the 300 members were in their seats when the last speaker closed at sundown, Messrs, In- galls’ and Hawolin’s eulogies in the Senate were the finest in a literary sense, though Messrs. Antbony and Stevenson were almost eloquent, Mr. Dawes spoke longest, and his eulogy is severely criticised, even by those of his own political faith. There was a general feeling of good will among tho Senators who were to express common sorrow for the loss of one who had served with them for eighteen years, and Mr. Dawes is charged with showing a lack of good taste when be went out of tho way to quote the pomted and bitter expressions of the de- ceased regarding the Southern members who had dif- fered with him in regard to slavery. An oil painting of Mr, Wilson was suspended above the Speaker's stand, and the kindly face looked down on the repre- sentatives of the nation in mild reproof, while the speech went on, especially as Mr. Stevenson had just delivered a beautiful tribute to the dead Senator, and hundreds of eyes were moistened with tears, Just back of Mr. Dawes, in tho gallery, sat two ladies in deep mourning, knitting busily during the whole of the solemn proceedings, In the House, Proctor Knott’s eulogy was considered aquaintand remarkable production. The Speaker's hammer fell at a late hour and everybody was glad to escape for most of the speeches were too long.

ACTION OF THE COMMITTER ON INDIAN ArF- YAIRS—MACHINATIONS OF THE RING. Nothing special has been done by either of the com- the House committee to make searching investigations tho Indian Ring has already developed. Bosler’s friends and the Ring wire pullers generally are tmpress- ing on Congressmen the magnitude of their past efforts for reform. They already speak of Bosler, the noto- rious beef contractor, asa good man, and of ex-Com- missioner Smith as a martyr to Indian evangelization, Professor Marsh and William Welsh aro looked on as well meaning but deluded men, Ked Cloud and the independent press are considered the cause of all the recent troubles, and Bosier and Smith the peace- makers, Immediately after the committees began work Bosler came to Washington, and svon afterward certain men, who are supposed to have damaging facts to give, lett town with plenty of money and an exultant smile on their faces. The committees have powers that were not granted them before. They can summon witnesses and force them to testify under oath the same as in a regular court of law, THE BEV. MR, NEWMAN PLAIN. Rey.

THE SUBYENTION PAID TO THE BARBARY STATES, The same committee’ intend to ascertain if the United States cannot get rid of tho subyention of $20,000 which is paid yearly to tho Barbary States. Under an old agreement, which was made for no other reason in reality than to placate the pirates of that country and bribe them to let our commerce alone, Great Britain set us the example in this matter, and at one time had @ monopoly of the carrying trade of the Mediterranean by buying ummunity for her vessels from these pirates. But their power for injury is obsolete, and so should be this subvention, in the opinion of Mr. Springer, chair- man of the committee investigating the subject.

The National Democratic Convention is a good way off, protably as far as the Fourth of July, but the party leaders are beginning to consider whether they might not profit by the mistake of the ropublicans in going to Cincinnati, and call the Convention for Phila- delphia and capture the Centennial enthusiasm and excitement Senator Jones, of Florida, says that the mero inaiter of rotation and courtesy, under which St, Louis has been regarded as entitled to the Convention this time, ought not to outweigh the interests of the party, and that everything that can contribute to vic- tory should be taken advantage of, Holding the Con- vention at St. Louis will net strengthén the party in a region whieh is sure to go democratic wherever the Convention may be held, It would be bettor to go to Cincinmeli than to St. Louis, but better yet, in his opiniea, te go to Philadelphia and help to secure the electoral voto of Pennsylvania for the democratic ticket. Holding the Convention in Clocinnati might not carry Ohio against the republicans, but holding it tn Philadelphia would be very likely to make a sure thing of it for the democracy in Pennaylvania, AMUSEMENTS. CALLED ON TO EX- LYCEUM THEATRE-—-BENEFIT OF ME. wW. CONKLIN. “La Boule,” the sparkling comedy of MM. Meilhao & Halevy was prosented last night at the Lyceum The- atre, for the benefit of Mr. Conklin, the agent du théa- tre. There was avery good attendance and the play was given in the most superb style, The piece is not new, but it gave entire satisfaction to the audience last evening. The ludicrous marital entanglements, ro- sulting from the persistency of the wife in keeping a warming pan im bed against the wishes of her spouse, are very capitally brought out, and although there is much that the modern evangelists, Moody aud Sankey, would object to on the score of morality, yet the per- formance was 60 artistic that morality was litle thought of by those present, a PHILHARMONIO REHEARSAL, The last public rehearsal for the third concert of the present season of the Philharmonic Society took place Misa Lina Lucabardt, pianist, and Milo, Eugenie Pappen- heim, prima donna, were the soloists.
