And yet another method of separating Cuba from the mother country has been at various times attempted, and has equally failed, despite the attractions that It must have presented to Spain. In 1845 a proposition emanated from the Senate at Washington to purchase the island, and in 1846 an American company for this purpose, with a capital of 200,000,000 dols, was incorporated. In 1848 President PoL went so far as to propose through the United States Minister at Madrid a transfer of the Island for a million dollars, Again, in 1854, Messrs.
