NEW YoRK, Nov. 1S.-Thc Cuban
meeting was largely attended and the
spirit of vengeance marked. Hon.
w. Nj. Evarts presided, and made
speech strongly denouncing the action
of the Cuban authorities.
Hon. 5. S. Cox and others also made
speeches.
Letters were received from Hon.
Henry Wilson, Gov. Dix, of New
York, GOV. Parker, of New Jersey.
Gov. lngersoll, of Connecticut, Gov.
Hendricks, of Indiana, Gcrritt Smith
and others.

Government take prompt and most
decisive action to avengc the insult to
the Nation.
The London banking house report
ed in trouble is the London Associate
and European Banking Company, but
their agent here denies the truth of.the
rumor.
A Washington dispatch says that
while our authorities have no formal
answer from Spain to the demands
made in connection with the Virgin
Jus, it has information which renders
the situation more grave than had
been no doubt entertained, but that
the CASTELAR, government would CO.
operate in friendly and energetic
manner in righting whatever wrong
has been done us in Cuba. Informa-
ton to-day, however, leads to fear
that the feeling is running so high in
Spain as to compel the government to
act very cody toward the United
States, in order to maintain itself, and
that it will even be obliged to declare
war against the United States the mo.
ment our Government makes move
ment toward interfering, in any shape,
in Cuban affairs. An intimation has
bCSh AGSClSCu liue, III spiIC VI tut
friendly feeling of CASTELAR,, he will
not be able to make such response to
the demands of the United States as
is expected here, or as he would like
to make. On our own part the mat
ter seems to have progressed too far
for modification, and so, altogether,
the situation is regarded tonight,
by our authorities, as extremely
grave.
