Copies of the paper which reached Havana have been suppressed by Cap- lainUeueral Weyler. The subject of the editorial iB Senor Sagasta’s statement that the war an nually costs Spain 600,000,000 pesetas and 15,000 soldiers, but that the con flict may end in two years. "T h e gravest is not what the liberal chief says, but what he withholds,” says the paper. "H e knows the war w ill never terminate except in the losi of Cuba. The treasury of Cuba will not have resources to cover the exendi- tures, nor has that of Spain. The powers of consumption are dried up and agriculture, industries and busi ness wholly ruined. W e have to ac cept the economic catastrophe, colossal as it is, and admit that both Spain and Cuba are ruined, and this catastrophe is due to the stupidities that followed the last revolution. U "Senor Sagasta very well says our arms are not to bo folded before the prospect of the enormous sacri flees. And the proguostioatious of Weyler in crease the point of gravity, when it is thought there w ill be more than 500,- 000,000 pesetas spent and many, many more than 15,000 soldiers sacrificed.

"T h e political conventions w ill soon meet in the United States, and they w ill fan the flames against Spain. Senor Sagasta w ill do w ell to plan for a oonflict before the chambers, because it is impossible for the country to ac cept either the plans of W eyler or the policy of war which is bringing us to annihilation with great velocity."

The dosing scene was not of a dramatic order, but was marked by placid serenity characteristic of the uppper branch of congress. The galleries were well filled, but there was an absence of the packed corridors incident to an eventful close of congress. The session convened at 12 o’clock, but no busi ness was transacted, beyond the for malities preceding adjournment. The last bill to lie iwssea was one urged by Sherman, pensioning the widow of General W illiam H. Gibson, a promi nent Ohio officer.
