Navy Department Active.
"AsIHSG-oS. November li.-Special dis.
patches from the North indicate that the
Navy Department IL very active, and will
soon have a powerful fleet in Cuban waters,
not, the dispatches represent. for active
hostillties, but to protect the shipping and

to restrain them
Rumored Attitude Of the Government.
One of these dispatches concludes: The
attitude OF the administration with refer
eDce to the NirginiuS affair." is not one of
opposition 10 the present Spanish govern
ment.
1t seeks 70 become an ally of Spain to
help her crush the perpetrators of barbara
ties which have been OF almost daily occur
renee III Cuba for several years.
SO far as the State Department is con- |
cerned there is nothing to indicate that it |
has any desire that the end should he the
breaking up Of slavery in the island, but |
that the bloodshed might be stopped.
The action Of the government in sending |
dispatches to Minister Sicllles with direc-
tons at once to inform TIE Spanish govern |
lRent that the United States would insist |
upon protecting her citizens If the required |
protection coGld not be afforded by Spain,
was one Of friendship to Spain and not a |
menace.
At least this is the way il appaars to- |
night, and the sending OF war ships into |
Cuban waters is not that they may be on !
hand prepared to watch Spanish. but to !
watch the CuUan authorities acting under
the government of Spain.
1t Is stated o-night that the President |
personally wrote dispatch to Sickies at
Madrid, directing an offer of co operation
to be made to the President of Spain.
Not the slightest doubt is entertained in
official circles that the Spanish government
will acceGe TO TIE protler, and that all the
details will De arranged without the delay !

Will cheertuily and even gratefully accept |

This view OF the case accords with the

Imbeci!ity Of the spanish Governments. {
Experience has shown that the Spanish
ovtrnment can not enforce its own DEGREES
4 the Island of Cuba, and therefore it be- '
ONES imperative for the United States to I
rotfct its citizens from Cuban ferocity.
Emboidened by late events, Il is not
Improbable that such massacres as those G
'hich have lately taken place may be re-
eated on citizens of the United States G
bout whose nationality there is no doubt v
lthout granting the lust request to stay .
