1t is stated by the Washington cores
pondent of the New York Journal of CON-
merce, in his continued speculations on the
annexation of Cuba 10 the United States,
that the people of that Island are decidedly
in favor OF such step, and that should
any thing disturb the authority OF Spain in
that quarter, they will come out boldly Tor
the measure. As an evidence of this dis
position, the writer states that the people
of Cuba, alarmed at the prospect of a
change of masters, sent A secret agent 10
Mr.. Monroe, when President, with pro-
position tor annexing the island to this
country. The proposition was rejected by
Mr.. Monroe, as being, at the time, un-
called for and impolitic; but the fac. shows
pretty plainly to whom the island must
belong, if Spain once loses possession.
