Mr.. EDITOR: Observing tho article OF

Of Monday mornings Issue, I was struck
with the tone, the needless reference to
Democratic prejudice against city our

feeling, rather than the production Of
good sound argument in favor OF the
city currency. Now, take the city
scrip, and for my own reasons. Bnt

LATEST KILOGRAMS.

New York, Nov. ga special dis
| patch from Washington, received at a
late hour last night, contains the impor-
tant information that Spain has con-
ceded the demands arising out Of the
seizure of the Virginius. These demands
were for the liberation of the passengers
still living, the release of the vessel, a
salute to the American flag AMI pro-
vision for the families of the captives
executed. The time for saluting the
flag has been fixed for next Christmas,
to provide for the contingency of Spain
not being able to enforce the promised
concession. The work of naval con-
struction is not to be interrupted. Spair,
it is ascertained also, agrees to bring to
trial and punishment the officers who
caused the shooting of the captives.
Madrid. Nov. 29.-The Spanish
Cabinet has agreed to deliver to the
United States Government the steam
ship virginius and all persons remain
ing alive who were captured with her,
leaving the question whether the seiz-
ure Of the vessel was legal to be set
tied hereafter by mixed tribunal. The
question whether damages shall be paid
to families or relations of the men who
were shot is also to be settled in a SINH
lar manner. This decision was not az
rived at by Government before it had
consulted with the powers
of Europe, and was informed by all of
them that PREPARATION was due for the
capture of the steamer. and the execu-
ton of the captives. The decision is |
also in conformity with the opinion Of
leading Spanish statesmen of all parties |
10 whom the question was submitted by |
he Government.
