THIRTY-SEVENTH YEAR. CUBA TO BE SOLD BY SPAIN —— way CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON CUBA HAS BEEN DELAYED. A Kirange Report from Washington—Two Rings Alleged to Exist for the Making Money out of Cabn Acreed to Sell the [stand to the 5} Volunteers for 10,000,000 & forresvoudence of The Sun. Wasntnoton, May 7.—The expected action of Congress in the matter of Cuban belligerency las een delayed ina manner which seemed long unac- eountable, but which recent developments explain. The House has been waiting for the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, ‘The favorable reso- Intion to whieh that Committee agreed soveral weeks ago, together with the report then prepared, has been held back partly under influences which have been actively operating in other directions to- ward the same end. . ‘This is the more to be regretted by the friends of Lube because ie report a question contains. among pther important matter, extracts from official Spau- Ish accounts of more than two hundred combats and sanguinary skirmishes with the insurgents, who are said from the beginning to have been on thelr last logs, with harrowing accounts of crueities and muti- Istions perpetrated on the bodies, living and dead, of Cubans and of American citizens. ‘Two rings, organized here for different objects, bave in fact been industriously and successfully at work to stave off any action by Congress{in this matter. The first consists of protended friends of Cuba and their dupes, whose efforts have been di- rected to provent the granting of belligerent rights nti! the Cuban agents would consent to a heavy Diackmoil arrangement, Always really powerless to further this object, they are, now that their game is Understood, equally powerless to Impede it, ‘The other ring includes highly influential person- Qges in Spain and ip this country, among whom are Prominent Gen. Prim and Minister Roberts, with the full aid, sympathy, and concurrence of our Sec- Spain despairs of retaining posses- 4 cannot deny but that he has long been thus informed by his agents, ‘The scheme on foot, and now matured for practi- eal execution, is that Spain shall sell the island to the Spanish volunteers for one hundred millions of dollars, of which ten millions are to be paid down, ard bonds given for the balance secured on the Weiand, guaranteed if feasible by the United States. Uf this cannot be obtained, the arrangement is to be made by its mediation, or with ite moral aid aad countenance, Mr. fish and bis friends do not hesi- tate to express the conviction that the cession of Cuba to the Spanish volunteers would be the most desirable solution of the question. As an argument to Senators, members, and others for not pressing the question of Cuban belligerent rights, and as a plea for delay, it 1s confidently intimated that Spain will e}l the island to the Spanish volunteers, and that (he Spanish olunteers will sel! to the United totes In what manner, or in what form of organ- fration, the volunteers are to buy the island, is not etated, bot I shall doubtless soon be able to inform you. As yet, however, the scheme has not becone suficiently developed for its miouter foatures to be Kuown, But the ice has been broken here, and the whole affair wlll soon be revealed, ‘The great objection mado to this plan by clear- Beaded nen who have been consulted respecting it, 4s that, great as would be the value of Cuba ina peucelul and productive condition, and desirable as might be the annexation of the island to the United States, 1t wonld be absurd to pay a hundred millions, br even fifty millions, for a ferocious civil war, The Answer (o Liis is, that as the Cabans generally de- fire aunexation, they will be sure to acquiesce in the transaction a soon as the volunteers sali transfer their right to the United States; and that thus the ¢ivil war will be brought to @ perfect and perma. Bent conclusion. Or, 1t is said, if the volunteers should notat once make arranzements to sell their claim, their violent, brutal, and insubordinate char. acter will at once lead them into outrages of 80 ex treme a nature, that it will become sthe duty of the United States to interfere by force, drive out the yo . relieve the patrivts from their enemies, and then proceed to annex the islaud. Buch are the arguments which have been used priwately hore for some time past, and with such eficet as to check all action on the part of Congress, to render the Republican party indifferent to its duty toward the patriots of Cuba, and its obligations toward the people of the United States, and to place this great Republic in the disgraceful attitude which for #0 many months it has occupied before the world As for the ten millions in eash, it is believed that the volunteers will have little dificulty in extorting it from the wealthy slave-traders und business men of Havana, in the shape of what is called a forced loan, ‘This amount in hand would be @ perfect godsend to the bonkrupt Spanish Government, which is now on ce of death by starvation, No doubt either Prim and his partners will get for their Own lise as much of this money as they can ; but hat in their affeir, and we have no particular con- fern with ff, The Interesting question for us is ‘What the volunteers will do with the island after Gey cot it, amd whether they will really attempt to fel! ik to the United States or not, Who are the parties to this project in the United Btates I am not able to state, except that Secretary Fish is its adherent and advocate.
