Tlie president presi-dent thinks the atrocities in Cuba, occasional by the Spanish punishment punish-ment of the insurgents, ought to come to an end, but it is a subject that he will at present leave in the bands of congress. It is undoubted that il ! congress does nothing the president, 'provided the Cuban atrocities continue, con-tinue, will wait till congress adjourns before he wiil attempt to dictate anything any-thing od his own responsibility. At present this government has carried its point in securing the pledga ol the Spanish Government to observe tlie sixth article of the treaty of 17l'o, providing lor the proper trial ol Americans violating the laws of the Spanish dominion. The preparations in the navv department have backed up the policy of the government towards to-wards Spain. The navy has been strengthened also, so that in case congress sees fit lo recognize the belligerency bel-ligerency of the Cubans it may be necvssarV to make a showing on the sea. Tl'.e president is very pronounced pro-nounced in his desire to hire the Cuban troubles settled, but as Spain has thus far shown htrseif ready to concede our demands many suggestions sugges-tions that would have been made by him had the reverse proved true w:K te withheld.
