I New YORK. November 27,.The Herald

dispatch tomorrow from Paris
| The following dispatch has Just arrived
in cypher from the Herald correspondent in
Madrid:
MADRID, November 26.-The situation is
| grave. On the nineteenth General Sickles
| by order of President Grant delivered a
| formal ultimatum to President Castelar,
dem manding prompt and vigorous reparation
for the insult to the flag, the restoration OF
the Eirginius, the release of the surviving
prisoners, indemnity to the families of the
murdered and the punishment of the muir
derers, and also guarantee against future
Outrages in Cuba.
The demand was couehed in a kind, sym
pathetic tone, but no alternative was given.
General Sekles was also instructed to say
that If CASTELAR, did not comply with the
demand in week he should ask for his
passports and leave Madrid with the lega-
ton.
Ihe week expires to-day, and no answer
has been received. EverythIn at the iega-
tion is packed up ready for immediate de,
parture. Sickles has no hope that the ulti-
matum will be complied with, and tele-
graphed to Paris yesterday to have all his
official correspondence that might be there
kept for a few days.
General Sickles, IN conversation, says he
does not see how war can be avoided, as
CASTELAR, can give no assurance that the or
der will be obeyed in Cuba. Public opinion
is also opposed to concessions. Unless Cas-
telar responds this evening, General Sickes
leaves this evening.
All the American ships in the Mediterra-
mean have been ordered to Key West
In the event Of General Sickies leaving,
the British minister will probably protect
the archives and the American residents.
President CASTELAR, is personally anxious to
accept the British minister's good office to
effect compromise, but there is NO hope
tonight.
Orders Of General Burriel.
A Havana letter says General Burriel has
issued a circular to the lieutenant COVER
nOrs and captains of the eastern depart
ment calling ON them to aid in crushing the
rebellion by arresting all persons suspected
OF completely with the insurgents who he
says, with all help cut off by sea and land,
will soon perish like wild beasts, as tAey
deserve.

Renewed Complications.
4 general impression exists OF renewed
complications. The silence of the wires
from Madrid to Havana and the letcence
OF functionaries here indicate it.
Negotiations still in Progress-Time Ex-
tended.
u is stated on what is believed to be good
authority. that our government has extend
ed the time for definite reply from Spain
10 the demands OF our government, and it
can be said coming from an official
source that negotiations are still in progress,
but affairs are in such a condition that not
even an intimation can be given of their
character.
There is reason for saying, with certainty
that the prospect is not as favora BILE for an
adj djustment of the Nlrginius diific uty, as it
was several days ago. The reports that
the Spanish Cabinet has agreed to sur
render that vessel, were predcated mainly
on professions OF amltv, and the expression
OF a willingness, on the part of the CASTELAR,
Cabinet, to do everything compatible with
honor, in satisfy ing the wishes OF the United
States, and also from the friendly ASST
RANGES Of Admiral Polo, the Spanish minis
ter, and his action in the premises
