Read. The morning papers comment
bitterly on the bloody climax Of the Vir-
ginins affair, as indicated by yesterdays
dispatches. The Herald says: I'VE have
nothing to do with the Cubaus, or their
cause; their rights or wrongs. The in
suit is to eur nation, the murders COM
mitted on our citizens. or on foreigners
under protection of our flag. A long
list of Spanish outrages in Cuba
spring to intensity our anger and JUS
tify the conviction that Madrid has no
longer any power over the Casino Es-
pamela, and that the punishment due to
their crimes must be visited on their
own guilty heads. We have no desire
to provoke war with Spain, and we be-
lieve there will be no war. The repre-
sentatiyes at Madrid have our sympa-
thy, and they will not be likely to 90 to
war to defend an act they admit to be
unjustifiable. A sufficient force of
United States iron-clads at Santiago
must demand the return Of the Virgin
JUS, the release of the survivors, and the
surrender Of the coast also, and provided
these demands are not complied with,
the destructionlof the blood-stained town
should follow. The atonement will not
be too heavy"
The Times thinks the silence of the
Spanish authorities is sufficient admis-
sion of the fact that the Virginius was
an American vessel.
The World suggests that if Spain does
not give ample satisfaction when such is
demanded, Congress should grant letters
of marque and repriSal without delaying
war.
A labor mass meeting will be held to-
night at Tammany Hall. The situation
among laboring classes here is becoming
more serious daily. A memorial has
been prepared for submission to the City
Council, to provide employment for the
now idle and save them from
pauperism or crime.
A Herald special from Boston gives
an interview with one Col. j. Young,
formerly Cuban organizer, whe says
that when he once visited Cuba special
came to him from the Cap
tain General, and conducted him before
that dignitary. A long private CONVEX
satiou followed, in the course OF which
the Captain General offered Young
10000 if he would organize a Cuban
expedition in the United States and
betrsy it into his hands. He threatened
to take Youngs life if the latter did not
sign an agreement to that effect. Young
promised to sign, but Of course never did
it.
The Juniata will sail to day from the
Navy lard with sealed orders,
as the Kansas did yesterday. The lat
Ter had liz men aboard, two nine-inch
Dahlgren guns, one eleven.inch pivot
gun and one twenty-pound parrot rife.
The screw sloop- Powhatan is at
anchor in the bay ready to sail at an
hours notice A full supply of medical
stores we're shipped yesterday from the
United States Navy Yard here to the
monitor Manhattan at Philadelphia and
he monitor at Norfolk. First-class
eameR have arrived at the Navy Yard
rom Boston and Portsmouth, and more +,
re expected. The force of carpenters,
iggers and laborers at the Navy Yard
Till be largely increased. s
