1t is seldom that the people OF this city have
been aroused to such feeling OF vindictive lndg-
nation as was experienced by them yesterday
upon the announcement of the execution by the
Spanards at Santiago de Cuba Of fortyeight others
OF the and passengers OF the American steamer
virgnius, and the arbitrary arrest and i'm.
prisonment OF Observation-Disclosures citizens
on the regular mail steamer, plying between New
York and Havana. 1t was everywhere construed
as an intentional and defiant outrage against the
lives, liberty and property OF American citizens,
and thousands OF people who counselled modera-
ton few days since, when Ryan, Bembetta and
others were butchered, have cast Off their leniency
OF disposition and avow that no mere apology or
diplomatic dickering will atone for so shameless,
even barbarlc, a crime.
few days since Mr.. Hamilton Fish announced
tnat he had taken measures to prevent any further
reckless erusion OF blood. This was day or two
after the receipt OF the news OF the first execu-
tions. Now that the utility OF his preventive
measures is demonstrated people universally de-
mand that summary measures shall be resorted to.
In notes, cares, saloons, club houses and on
street corners there was no other public topic dis.

AT THE cuBAN RESORTS
the feeling was one oil extreme sorrow, and as
rule 1t was very noticeable that they abstained
from the expression OF any violent opinions. But
beneath the reserve which they main taned conld
readily be detected a feeling OF hope Tor the
tunate crisis in the history Of the rebellion had
come at last. They have desired for years tnat the
United states might interfere; but notwlthstand-
ing many light arronts which were offered our flag
no action was taken. Now they think the United
further express the belief that the lives OF the me
who have been slain could not in any other man
ner nave been OF more signal service to tie cause
MONSTER MASS MEETING
OF Americans, and under American auspices will
be organized and held this week to protest against
the outrage on humanity at large and TO demand
OF the government immediate measures to avenge
the insult thus recklessy hurled in the nations
face
The amigos de Cuba- swarmed at their head
quarters in Exchange place yesterday, all the
prominent members Of the organization beng
present and actively engaged IN their preparations
for the fitting out OF an expedit on. 1t is just
likely, however, that, should the government as
sumo war attitude, they will delay their expedi-
tion and throw their forces in a body into the
hands OF the United states. TO be used as

they could be made more effective. There is no
doubt whatever that one or two good regiments
could be recruited in a week in this city under
government auspices thus relieving the CubaDs OF
the embarrassment they are now subjected to by
being compelled to move secretly. In addition to
THIS they argue that such battalion, being COM
posed Oh acclmatized persons, would endure double
the fatigue which any similar number OF unaccli-
mated individuals could withstand.
Great satisfaction was expressed by all classes
OF people yesterday afternoon at the announce
ment that the government had ordered the lnme
date fitting out OF
STRONG NAVAL FORCE,
TO be despatched with all possible celerity to
CUBAN waters. IL was accepted as an evidence
that the government would really take some posi-
ton OF honor on the question. The orders include
vessels at most OF the principal naval stations on
this coast Beginning with Philadelphia, the mont
tor Manhattan has been ordered ready for sea by
tomorrow.
