al the brooklyn Navy-Yard.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-About five thous-
and persons visited the navy-yard yester-
day, many Of them being in search of work,
not taking into account those who went
there for purely personal motives. The
officers of the yard say that at no time since
the war has the general public eyinced such
interest in the affairs of the navy-yard. No
secret is made of the fact that orders have
been received from Washington TO prepare
all the available vessels in the yard for act
i've service as soon as possible, and well-in-
formed parties say orders have been issued
to prepare for sea at once every suitable
vessel in the United States navy. The
frigates Minnesota and Colorado, each car
rying fifty guns. viii be ready for sea within
twenty-five days.

The Secretary Of War, who was in this
city yesterday, is reported to have said to
an intimate friend who called ON him:
I,af I
cred somewhat b1oodthirSty on this mat

mind. At the Cabinet meeting held yes
terday we were a unit; and if the Ameri-
can people are not satisfied with the meas
ures resolved upon at that meeting to vim
dicate the national honor, they must be
very hard TO please"

The London Press on Annexation.
LONDON, Nov. II, ) A. M.-The Times
this morning, in a leading editorial, says if
the Virginius affair had occurred during
the ascendancy of the Democratic party,
Cuba would doubtless have been immedi-
ately annexed. 1t draws contrast between
the conduct of the SpaniardS in Cuba and
the lenient treatment by the American
Government of foreign blockade runners
during the rebellion. If England is called
upon TO act in consequence of the execution
Of any of her own subjects, there is no
reason why she should not acknowledge
the independence of Cuba, especially if
the act would check such outrages. It
recommends the adoption of that line of
policy by the United States.
The Daily Telegraph contains an article
similar to that of the Times Both journ-
ais concur in the opinion that Spain is
powerless to enforce reparation, and that
the United States may possibly be COM
PEELED to intervene, even though reluctant
to do so.
Further Details of the Capture of the
Virginius.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA dispatch from
Havana of the 10th, gives the story of the
capture of the Virginius as obtained from
Spanish sources, and says the most remark
able feature of the capture is the absolute
non-resistance of the Yirginius when over
hauled. The Tornado was cruising on the
3lst of October, under sail about eighteen
miles from the Cuban coast. In the after
noon she sighted a steamer about six miles
distant, heading toward her. The Captain
ordered steam to be got up, and soon the
strange steamer headed for the coast of
Jamaica, distant about 100 miles. The
Spanish Captain suspected the steamer was
the Nirginius and ordered the engineers to
get up all the steam possible, even if they
burst the boilers, and drive the engines
at their utmost speed. The Tornado
under full headway, gained steadily, but
night coming on the Spanish Captain
feared he shold lose the vessel. The moon !
rising, he was enabled, by keeping all
hands on deck, at the mas head and in the
rigging, to keep in sight until the corvette
had neared her sufficiently to bring her
guns to bear. A shot was fired, but the
stranger made no reply, and four others
were fired in succession the last at 10 p. NJ,
and Immediately the steamer, which had
led the corvette chase of nearly eight
hours, hove to. Two boats were lowered,
