the ability OF that Government

no power over, and can not affect in
any way the Madrid authorities in the
matter OF carrying out the terms of the

Virginius. The transfer will be in
trusted to the officers OF the Spanish
navy, who, whether they are R.publi-

oughly loyal to the existing govern
ment at Madrid, which has Unlimited
faith in their patriotism and devotion
to Spain. The discipline in the Span
