When Uncle Samuel fought aud bled to free the Inland of Cuba from the tyrrany of Hpam he swore by all the stars in his spaugled banner that it was from a totally disinterested motive that he did so, and that his only desire waa to inako Cuba a free and independent republican like him Negotiations were on foot last week between Kitchener and Botha with a view to ending the war in South Africa and remarkably magnanimous toinm were offered the latter, but the IWr leaders apparently cannot lose sight of that ignis fatuous, independ- ence, which will nevermore be held within thtir grasp.
