WAY TO GIT EVEN AS FAR AS PROP
ERTY IS CONCERNED.
There is reason to believe.that one of
the subjects accompanying the discus
sion of the situation was that of the
Spanish man-of-war now undergoing res
pairs at New York, and it was remark
ed in the course of the conversation
that should that vessel by any possiblli-
w come into the hands of this govern
ment, its possession would more than
compensate for the loss of the Virglni-
us, so far as the comparative values of
the ships are concerned.
ANXIETY IN HAVANA.
HAVANA, Nov. Is.
Great anxiety is manifested here to
see the comments of the New York
press upon the capture of the Virginius
and the shooting of the prisoners. There
Is a general feeling that it is desirable to
have all the prisoners executed as quick
" as possible before the government of
Spain or any other power can get
chance to interfere, although some of
the better feeling portion of the people
deprecate undue haste and fear that it
may lead to serious results,
A DEFIANT NEWSPAPER.
The Constancia (Ravana) newspaper
says no matter how much our country
has fallen in the last five years, the
Spanish people have not become degrad-
ed to such an extreme as to be fright
ened by any temerity and insolence in
the event Of Intervention. We lament
the bad situation of the affairs of our
country, but are far from being daunted
by foreign complications. Maybe we
ought to desire them in order to liberate
us from miserable party intrigues. Spain
is not degenerate. All bad passions will
Immediately become quiet when there is
any prospect of foreign war. The
stronger powers know this, and the in
triguing politicians ought not to forget
it. Unfortunately the Spaniards give
more Importance to the latter than they
merit. The Constancia also says when
the news of the capture of the Virginius
was received here it was thought that
something would be tried to prAyent the
pirates from receiving their cut chastise-
ment.
BIG WORDS.
The address of Gen. Burriel to the
soldiers is very bombast. Describing the
chase and capture Of the Virginius he
says: The Tornado belched fourth
flames instead of smoke, going at her
fullest speed. She finally came up with
and captured the Yirginius, which was
taken possession of with repeated cries
of "Viva Espani" from the Tornados
valiant crew without the slightest resis-
lance from the others. One hundred
and sixty-three men delivered themselves
quietly up, having cowardly thrown
overheard during the chase their arms
which they ought never TO have grasped,
and the equipage confided to them to
defend their ignoble cause. This goes
to show and to confirm the poverty of
our enemies efforts and demonstrates their
.impatience against the armies of Spain,
which providence manifestly fayors.
THE FEELING IN LONDON.
LONDON, Nov. Is.
The Daily News of this morning, in
an editorial article on the prospects of
the annexation of Cuba to the United
States, says the execution of the Virgin
ms prisoners has virtually decided the
fate of the island. The other London
Journals contain editorials of similar
tenor. The Spanish loan reached the
lowest figure this morning yet touched
in the London stock market.
LATER FROM OFFICIAL CIRCLES.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.
There is nothing new in official circles
concerning the Virginius. kilograms
from General Sickles since Friday mere
ly acknowledge the receipt of his late in
structions The conference between
Genenal Sickles and the Spanish minis
ter of foreign affairs will probably take
place early this week, and the result will
be promptly reported to Secretary Fish,
by cable. No kilograms have been re-
ceived confrmatory of the executions
since those of the 4th, 7th and 8th in
slant.
