The WEDN | —— os Awiddements To-day, New York Clreat Troupe, Matines, chumaters, Matinee, 1 Benet Kahibition, Wallnek’s ovr W nod’ Mure Jahn, th Blondes, Ae Matinens What Made Secretary Fish Change his Mind about Cubat It is well known that there wasa time when our eminent Secretary of State strongly favored the cause of Cuba. He addressed the Spanish Minister, as late as the 13th of October, in a note clearly recognising the existence of a civil war in the island, and strongly reprobating the eruelties of the Spanish Government. In lesa than two months afterward, however, we find him taking the dircetly contrary position, advis- ing the President that there was no civil war at allin Cuba, and lending the whole power of the Administration to crushing the Cu- bans aud helping the Spaniards, What made him change his mind? Of course, sometiing may be allowed for the influence of Senator Sumxen, who has committed himself to an ‘absurd position in regard to the Alabama claims, and is bound to stick to it-at all hazards, Mr. Som. KEN bas the reputation of knowing some. thing of history and international law, and Mr. Fisn’s prompt sense of his own igno rance on those subjects. may render him un. willing to risk, against 6o high an authority, even the possibility of a war with Spain. The Attorney-General, tuo, takes tho part of the Goenator from his own State, and brings hig power of intimidation to his assistance, A weak man like Mr. Fist is uo match for two euch opponents, and sooner or later must yield to them. But there has been another and » more potent influence at work. The Secretary has & son-inJaw—Sipney Wapsticr—one that is not only a notorious master of the art of intrigue, but who ix the hired lawyer ov the Spanien Government and their obedient tool ia doing the dirty work of spying and in forming on the Cuban patriots in this gi and in preventing them from rendering as sistance to their brethren in Cuba. It is « significant fact that es long as the Spanish gunboats, whieh were ordered here in the first instance by a personal friend of Mr. Fisu's, remained unfinished, Mr, Fist was full of good words ou the Cuban side; but as foon as the boats began to he ready for sea, he turned about and took the contrary of his previons course.

One of these throv officers was cashiered for s y, unoflicer like conduct, and conduct prejudicial to good order aud military discipline. The facts are all get forth in General Court Martial Orders No 88, issued from the Adjutant-General’s office in Washington on June 3, 1869. The second was dismissed the service for conduct Qnbecoming an officer and a gentle- man, neglect of duty, and breach of trast, tothe prajudice of good order and military Uiscipline, ‘The case is contained in General Court Martial Orders No. 55, issued from the Adjutant-General’s cilice in Washington on Beptember 1, 1869. ¢ third was dismissed the service for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle: man, according to General Court Martial Orders No, 62, published from the Adjutant General's office in Washington on Uctober 4, 1809, Auy one of the houcrable Senators called upon to confirm those nom nations, whomay desire more explicit information, Las but to send a messenger to the War Office for the orders we have mentioned. They will no doubt be readily furnished by the Depart ment. The several papers referred to now lie be fore us, and ifwe do not give the details to the public, it is because w strained by a sentiment of pity for thre cent families, and Likewisely a hope that the ‘dismissed officers will Jet their bad cause Reet atite preeeut stage of progress, We aud are re. inno have no desire to follow them into thelr retirement by publishing to the world ¢heir names and faults, But we do earnestly.re- quire of the Senate that, in thia affair, it shall do its duty both to the country and the army Ly refusing to confirm these nomina- tions, and by preventing the reinstatement of these officers in places they have been found unworthy to fill. During the week ending on the 8th inet. five more officers were dismissed. ‘This shows the determination of the better dis- posed gentlemen in the gervice to weed out of thoarmy its unworthy members. Will the Executive and the Senate make the work of reform still more difficult, or will they do simple justice and pustain the army in ite efforts at regeneration ? ws Rochefort and Bonaparte. The political duel between Rocunronr and BONAPARTE is one of the most charac- teristic incidents of this century, and affords 4 new illustration of the trite saying that the pen is mightier than the sword, It matters little who shall get the upper hand for a time in Paris, the journalist or the Emperor. The fact remains, and re- dounds to the honor of France, that in a period when mankind aud womankind are bat too willing to lick the dust at the feot of power, provided they can thereby revel in wealth and luxury, a newspaper writer rises siugle-banded to stem the foul current by challenging to mortal combat one of the chief authors of the prevailing demoraliza- tion. Rocutror? is nicknamed @ Bohomian, Robesrienre, & Manat, and the masses of the people who support him are stigmatized asthe rabble, the mob, the vile multitude. But has there ever been a popular rising against outrages committed in high places which has not called forth similar invecti Against the champions of righteousuess? The individuality of Rocneront and the peculiar weapous of his warfare are of as little moment as the paraphernalia of authority un- der which Bonaranrs masks his crimes against liberty. Public opinion has to deal only with the principles represented by the twomen, Since no one can doubt that Rocun Font’s charges against Bonaparte are founded in justice, and the accusations of the Emperor against the told journalist in in- justice, therecan be no hesitation In believ- ivg that the sympathies of the American peo- ple must be with Rocusvrorr and against Bonavanrs. ‘These sympathies are likely to be intensified by the fact that BonaParte, lustead of proceeding against his cousin, the murderer of Rocukvort's envoy, seeks to wreak revenge upon the journalist for the additional disgrace which that crime has brought upon his dynasty, The deadly shot which was aimed by Pienr& Napo.non Bosapants at Rocusrout’s heart having missed ite destination, Louie NaroLeon BoNAvantre is now seeking to annihilate hie foes through the impeachment and the ex: pweion of Rocueroxr from the Freach Le: gislatire, He may be as successful in this at tempt as his cousin was iu assassination, but this will uot settle the question. It will only widen the gulf between the people and a blood staincd dynasty. As for restoring tranqullity, does any one believe that the proceeding against Rocuerort can have sach a reeult? What has already happened in Paris shows that disturbance rather than trang lity will be produced by it. State of the War in Cuba.
