Cubans blocked Jordan's aims, preventing exit from the country and moving him to the Staff of Cespedes. A World’s Fair is planned for Washington in 1871 with substantial subscriptions reported, including guarantees from President Grant. Grant also informed the Senate that France rejected a telegraphic treaty proposal, urging broad participation in the convention on ocean cable immunity and wartime cooperation.

Education Controversy at Birmingham Meeting Over Denominational System
The National Education Union held its first Birmingham meeting at Exchange Assembly Rooms with Lord Harrowby presiding. Clergy and lay leaders argued for preserving religion in schooling and for local supervision, while backing amendments to the present system rather than its replacement. A Leeds conference echoed calls for nationwide measures to extend and complete primary education.
