THE WILMINGTON BANK ROBBERY.
PLOT FOR A RESCUE.

A supposed conspiracy to effect the
release of the bank burglars at New
Castle Del. jail is thus reported
Early on Monday morning, man
representing himself to be Detective
Pickney Amarr. OF Alb Geld street
Brooklyn, n. Y, appeared at police
headquarters and by his easy address,
fluent tongue, and bundle OF references,
satisfied our officers of his genuineness.
He then went over to New Castle and
without difficulty made similar impress
sion upon Deputy Sheriff Giffin, who
admitted him within the prison and es-
corted him to the cells where the sup.
posed burglars were confined. He fail
ed to recognise any of them, of course,
but at the same time hougbt that one
OF them, who very naturally was Big
Frank, conceded in many respects with
a description of man which he had
among many others in big book, and
whom he was looking for completely in
a late bond robbery. In order to salts
fly himself, he asked that a private in
terview might be afforded him in an
other cell, alleging that if he him alone,
where Thomas, alias Hope. could not
prompt him in his replies, he could get
out of him all he wanted.
1.-THE private interview was granted,
and the two retired within the cell. A
court officer who happened at that time
to be strolling around the prison, cast
his eyes obliquely into the cell, and there
he beheld the two men talking very
earnestly, and as soon as they saw him
they confusedly changed their converse
ton. The interview finally ended, and
the reputed detective left, leaving word,
however, that another detective whom
he thought would recognise them, or
some of them, would call the next day.
Accordingly, on Tuesday the false de-
tectiye called with man who represent
ed himself as deputy sheriff OF Tioga
county, New York, but they were not
admitted, Sheriff Armstrong having
learned by the aid of the telegraph that
they were in all probability impostors.
The revelation has its due weight
with the Sheriff, and he has already is
sued strict orders for the admittance of
no stranger within the jail walls. He
is very cautious with the prisoners, and
if they have no outside aid they will
not be able to escape. A double guard
Is kept over them day and night

THE VIRGINIus QUESTION.

TO the Editor Of The Daily Monitey:
In regard to the Virginius massacre,
there is certainly but ono course to pur-
sue. And to-day, Independent of poll
tics or party, the citizens of the United
States are anxiously watching the move
ments of the President, in order to dis
cover whether he intends to avenge the
insult offered our national emblem, or
meekly submit to the infamous depre-
dations of semi-barbarous country.
Spain, like Sodom, may, and I'M
doubtedly does, possess ten righteous
men but the fact that Senior CASTELAR, is
ga reasonable statesman, and sincere
friend of the United States" does not
prevent his countrymen from indulging
in outrages which arouse the indignation
Of every lover of freedom and justice.
1t is asserted by persons Of diplomatic
professions that it would not do to seek
war with Spain in her present unsettled
condition, because it would be taking an
unfair advantage of weakened, demon
allied nation. And others, again, de-
clare, that under the circumstances, it
would be very poor policy, or rather, i'll
advised policy, to recognize Cuba s
right to defend herself. Poor Cuba
Despised, tynanized over, crushed be-
meath the heel of ruthless, despotic
power--will she ever gain the priceless
boon of liberty, ever be untrammeled
and free
But the present question is not
whether Cuba shall or shall not main
tain her independence, but one affect.
ing ourselves. The following extract
from an editorial i'll yesterday Tribune,
explains concisely the situation OF af-
fairs
Whatever others may do, we cannot
afford to do nothing. These infamies are
committed at our door. They affect
our national character and honor. 1t is
not mere municipal riot between Spain
and her colonies. Our own peace is en-
dangered by it. At every discharge of
the muskets at Santiago, American
blood painted the pavement, and the
American flag was backened with pow
der smoke"
There we have the whole matter in a
very small nutshell. The American
flag has been dishonored, and--the Am
erican flag MUST be avenged Whether
Spain is willing but unable to make am
pie PREPARATION for the insult whether
Cuba will or will not be recognized
whether the Virginius was simply a
filIbuster - whether the victims were
prepared for their fate, knowing that
they were transgressing national laws
there still remains one plain, unvarnish.
ed fact; Nations, barbarous or oiyiliz-
ed, must learn, however severe the les
son, that the American honor and Ameri-
can flag are not to be insulted with i'm
punity
see, Mr.. Editor, that the gallant
Third, anxious no doubt to distinguish
itself on the battle field as well as on
the parade ground, has offered its SER
vices in case OF war. Pm afraid that
notable regiment will not have an OPP
portunity to exhibit its courage and
prowess in the midst of whizzing bullets

There was time, says tho New York
Sun, when General Dix's order, eff any
man pull down the American flag, shoot
him on the spot found an echo in eve
~ American heart. On June 7, 1862,
an American citizen, William B. Mum
ford, WAS hanged at New Orleans for
hauling the American flag down that
had been hoisted on the mint in that
city. Now, an American secretary of
state is found who is willing to excuse
the act when committed by Spaniard

and there's man in the ranks cowardly
enough to remain ut home, pray call
upon an insignificant feminine, who,
though willing to be peaceable in times
of peace, longs most ardently for the
privilege OF being a man in times of
war, to take his place. That is, of
course, il "the worst comes to the
worst" Yours respectfully,
