will be foated out OF the dry dock to-day. She
will take her guns board on Friday, at the
sauting dock in the yard, and will be ready to sail
on Saturday. 1t is probable that the Colorado and
Arapiies win go to sea about the same time, whicn
Is worthy or note as coincidence. Visitors are
not permitted to visit the Arapiles. Her officers
are anxious to get away, and express themselves

WHAT NAVY OFFICERS THINK OF THE "sITUAT1oN"
Ine news from Havana published In the HERALD
yesterday was regarded most serious by the
officers OF the station with whom the writer con-
versed. They appeared to think that the Governor
General would find himself in his efforts to restrain
the Indignation which the concessions" (S made
by the CASTELAR, government give rise TO. In such
an event American citizens were liable TO be sub
jected to still iurther outrage and ndgnty at the
hands OF the Dons, who have supreme contempt
for our boasted ability to chastise them. They
felt chagrined at the announcement that during
all the excitement attendant upou the virginius
affair no American man-ot ot-war had put in an ap.
pearance In the harbor OF Havana. ''ln shelln
the epitome OF the opinions OF the officers OF the
navy here about appears to be that the ''settle-
ment" is mo settlement" whatever, and history
will repeat Itself in other and parallel Virginius
outrages. The only thing the Cubans can be made
respect is force, and the latter commodity they
have ever failed TO recognize beneath the iolds Of
the starry banner.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Business Brisk at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard-The Fast-Sailing sioop-of-War
Florida To BE Hurried FOrvard-1he
Colorado TO Sail ON Saturday-WflI the
spaninrd Leave Mt the Same Time -
Official Opinions OF the Settlement ~
The wonted activity prevails this station and
the work or preparing vessels OF war for service
which was commenced three weeks ago has
Tor single hour relaxed. All this may appear
somewhat remarkable in the face Of the assertions
which are frequently reiterated from the national
capital that there no longer exists any necessity
for preparations OF a hostile character now
that the protocol has been signed by Messrs.
Fish ana Polo adjusting the Cuban difficulty.
The fact remains patent. nevertheless that
extraordinary measures on foot to present
warliKe front to Spain In the shortest possible
space OF time. No orders TO increase the present
working force at the Brooklyn yard have been re-
ceyed, but the 3, 100 men who "in" have doub;-
less a steady job for the winter. which ia good
thing in the interest of humanity IL for nothing
else.
HURRYING UP THE FLORIDA.
orders supplementary, have been received to
hurry forward the work OF fitting out the steam
sloop-of-war Florida, second rate screw, with all
possible despatch. IL recommended by the
department that she should carry only lower masts
and fore and ait SAILS instead OF topsais. The
Naval Constructor here is OF the opinion that such
rig would not be conducive TO safety In her case,
and has so reported TO Washington. Cakers,
machnists and carpenters now actively EN-.
poyed on her. and she viii be ready for her officers
on the 2lst inst.
THE FLORIDA
which Is a sister ship OF the Tennessee, carries
battery or 10 nine-inch guns and two nowitzers on
her spar deck. She Is remarkable Tor speed bav-
ing made IL knots an hour on her trial trip down
East. Her crew will number 377 men. Among the
more prominent officers who have applied TO the
secretary OF the Navy for this command are Com
mander Ralph Chandler and Captain k. w. Shu-

OPINIONS OF THE SPANISH PRESS.

The Reported Settlement Discredited-
Spain Not Yet Descended So Loyv-The
United states Responsible to Spain in
Damages on the Basis of tho Washing
ton Treaty-The Action of the Spanish
Authorities Fully Justified.
In referring to the rumor that the grave ques-
tions arising out OF the capture OF the virginius
to be submitted to arbitration, La ConstdnCtd
OF Havana says
Those who say that such report Is current do
not believe IL themselves. Our country has not
yet descended so low as to nave abdIcated the
rights OF an Independent nation. We believe that
the laboranteS and their sympathsers have in
vented this report or the purpose OF testing Span
sh loyalty, for they know that it is as idle IL Is
foolish 70 deny to Spain the right OF capturing the
Virglniu5 and Furnishing, according to the law OF
nations, the hlibusters who conducted her.
The DIarto de Ia Marina, IN discussing the ques-
tion says, in It's issue OF the Goth ut. =
Greater responsibility rests upon the United
States for the Illicit expeditions winch have sailed
from their coasts lncludng the Vrginius and
many otner hbustrlng vessels, than upon Eng
land for the departure oil tile Alabama from her
ports; and IL ever the day shall arrive Tor the ad.
Justment OF accounts, upon the basis the treaty
OF Washington, which resulted in the arbitration
at Geneva, spain should receive q greater in
juries; and, wnat Is worse, more unmer-
tied offences; and we ask the Minister OF
state that he will present the question
under this aspect. For the rest, we only DESIRE
with Mr.. sumner, justice in Cuba, prosperity in
Spain, honor Tor Senor CASTELAR, ana peace between
the two nations and that there should ne an end to
these unnecessary expenses and the becose fever
whcn affects the safety of the body polite, =
The premises are perfectly loyal and logical that
SPAN VIII have as much right to oblige the United
states to observe the laws or neutrality as the
United States can pretend to have, to put stop
10 or punish, with force, the excesses OF the
people Of Cuba on the pretence that the
Spanish government cannot do THIS. The Ameri-
Can government committcd the first fault In per-
mitting the departure Of the expedition and 80 is
responsible Tor the consequences. The exped-
tionlsts were pirates, and consequently had no
right 70 the protection OF International or OF Amer
ican laws. The commander OF the Tornado ful-
niled his duty in pursuing and cap uring vessel
which during elght months made successive voy-
ages lor the purpose oi dlsembarking the eXpedi-
tioDists and material which she carried, and the
council OF war acIed in compliance with the laws.

An Attempted Monopoly in the Meat Trade

To the Editor of the ARGUS.

to license neat peddlers. but as it has not
been published do not know what its pro-
visions are / have been told that il re-
quired license fee of 500, but as no penalty
was attached for its violation it was Of no
force, and it was not thought best to spend
any money on its publication until it could
be perfected. | hope nothing will be done
by our Council to discourage meat peddlsrs.
for when | can buy just as good a steak for

ought to be encouraged and all the
people think so, too PERHAPS a
moderate license of say S. a year
or not to exceed $40, might be well
enough-but $50 is an exorbitapt sum, /
think, for the privilege of CARRYING a little
meat around town to sell-especially when
we know that every man who raises meat
/ has the right to carry it around and sell it
without any license. | think our council
should encourage every enterprise which
tends TO cheaper food and | suggest t.
the meat peddlers to resume their bushes.
