Spanish Steamer Captured.
NEW YoRK, Feb. 10.-Late advices state
that in Spain the news of the capture of the
Spanish steamer Conadoga, by the Chilliams,
has caused the most violent ferment.
A war like address has been voted by the
Courts of Instruction, and have been dis
patched to the Spanish Admiral to Amingo.
The National Honor and the Madrid
papers absolutely foam with rage. One of
the mildest of these journals asserts that
Spain puts up with insults from no body,
and is not bound to show consideration for
any country in the world. A more violent
contemporary demands that wherever a pal
ace or a house or. a hut is inhabited by these
bastard children, you may be sure, there
must the Spanish fall whilst a provincial
paper gravely warns France, England and
the United States aside, for whoever comes
between Spain and her foes, is SPANS foe.
The Chilian meeting lately held in New
York, had called forth lively fears in Spain
for the safety of Cuba, and the general ex-
element had been still further augmented
by the appearance off the Spanish coast of
two iron clad frigates, supposed to be the
ANS recently supplied by Laird to the
CHILEAN government.
A Madrid correspondent of the London
Times saysthe war isnot only with one.or two
of the Republics of the Andes; it is not
merely against aconfederacy of all the south
and Central America it may soon have to
be waged with SPANS own subjects of the
Antilles, and with those Yankee sympathi-
sers, these loose and desperate adventures
of the north and south, who would under
take to scale Heaven for employment, and
who even, ifthey cannot embraiI their eoun-
try in a war, in support of the Monroe doc
trine, will place men and means enough at
their disposal of SPANS enemies to make
these more than a match for her power. 1t
is possible that these two iron elads in Span
ish waters may be only an earnest of what
Young America may do in the way of ensr-
gy, spirit and enterprise.
The Panama correspondent of the Herald
y The combined Peruvian and CHILEAN
feet is under orders to immedi-
ate hostilites against Spain.
Callao is strongly fortified by gun in
Guiding eight Of Blakeley's cast steel 300
Founders.
The monitor Victoria and ram Lea, was
also in port. Some of the batteries are o
fcered by Americans who had experien
in the late war.
The Peruvian war steamer CallaO was at
Panama repairing, and will soon leave to
Join her consort.
General Fitzpatrick left Callao for valpa-
raise in an English mail packet.
The United States steamer Wateree still re-
mains at Callao.
Anumber of ex-C~onfederate officers have
been engaged for the CHILEAN navy and ten
bad left Panama for Chill in a CHILEAN war
steamer.
The Tribune's Panama special says that
torpedoes and other Internal machines for
the destruction of the Spanish feet had ar
rived at Callao. They were purchased in
New York by an agent of the Gillian gov
Catesby Jones, late ofthe rebel navy, was
in Panama en- route to Chill, where he was
to lave a naval commission.
