WASHINGTON, November l4.-it can
be stated ON official authority that
while the present naval preparations
do not mean war against Spain or
Cuba they are significant of the deter
mi alton of the govcrnm ent to protect
American interests at any hazard, and
| to prevent in the future such nassacres
us those which followed the capture of
the Virginius and which shook the
entire civilized world. Experience
has shown that the Spanish govern
ment cannot enforce its own DEGREES
| in the island of Cuba, and therefore il
| becomes imperative for the United
States to protect its citizens from Cuban
| ferocities embollenened by late events.
1t is not improbable that such massa
cres as those which have lately taken
| place may be repeated on citizens OF
! the United States, about whose nation
atty there is no doubt, without grant
ing the just request to stay the proceed
| ings until all the facts involved in the
seizures and trials could be clearly as
certained, besides our citizens i'll Cuba
have suffered from embargoes and CON
fiscations, without remedy from either
Cuba or the authorities of the island,
and the patience of the government
seems to be exhausted, and as nothing
effective can be depended upon from
the Spanish government notwith-
standing its friendly feelings toward
| the United States, the law of self-pro-
| lection is recognized by our govern
ment as applicable to the present con-
dition of affairs.
There is among all prominent Off
GERS of our government an earnestne3s
| in the preparations now in progress to
meet all questions practically as they
arise, instead OF depending on the
| Spanish officials for the transmission
of communications from onr Consus
! t.t fall ~
| naval officers will be instructed to III
quire diligently and closely into the
condition of affairs in the Island and
promptly report the facts to the proper
department Our government is now
waiting to hear what the Spanish Gov
eminent VIII do in response to oar
earnest protest against the outrages
perpetrated against the victims OF the
Virginius. Here the matter rests for
| the present.
salt can be stated on the authority OF
the President himself, that he did not,
as reported, personally write Il eis-
patch to General Sicklcs directing an
oifer of our cooperation to lie made to
| the President of Spain in their move
ments to control the Cabans. Nothing
| of the kind has ever been suggested.
