Hew the Protocol Is Received by the Ha.
vanese-JOuvellar's Proclamation.
HAVANA, December 2.-The publication
OF the protocol signed by Secretary Fish
and the Spanish minister caused intense
agitation and general Indignation here, but
the popular feeling is calming down under
the conviction that the Spanish government
will defend Spanish honor and under the
confidence which is placed in the sense,
Justice and prudence of the people of the
United States. There have been no violent
demonstrations, and the peace of the city
is undisturbed.
The people and the authorities are in full
accord, and the reports of the resignati ions
OF the higher officers of the island are posi-
lively cOntradicted. The authorities are
determined to save the country and pre-
vent foreign interference. Captain General
Jouvellar mas issued the following prOclama-
ton to the inha bitants of Havana:
1t is my duty to prevent public opinion
from going astray. consider it opportune
to address you as friend recommending
the utmost calmness under the present cir
cumstances.
The Virginius question has given Spains
enemies an opportunity to spread false ru-
mOrs and alal ming news, certain that
they would produce an effect on your
ardent and unimpeachable patriotism,
while their only object was to promote the
rebel cause. 1t is true that treaties have
been made, and that l have received COM
munications in relation to them; but, if l
have managed to inspire you with my con-
tdence, give me proof Of it by your retlec-
tion and tranquil behavior.
Be assured / will do everything possible
in behalf Of the interest Of the province and
dignity OF the nation which, like yourselves,
l hold in higher esteem than life.
JOUVELLAR.
The proclamation is exclusively distrib-
uted in the theatres, cafes and other public
places, and the excitement is subsiding.
The Virginius remains at the arsenal
atoat. and is in good condition.
An Ecclesiastic in Rebellion.
The ecclesiastical authorities of this city
have issued an edict ordering the priests to
refuse p dre l.. LOrente, arch bishop of San
tiagO de Cuba, their assistance or coun-
tenance if he celebrates any religious cere-
mOny, and not to permit him to enter any
church under their charge, because he (Lo-
rente) is in open rebellion against the Holy
See, and has been communicated.
An order of the College of Cardinals re-
PEELED by l.. Lorente.
The Juniata mt SnntiagO-RepOrt Of the
Commander TO Consul General Hall.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November 2S.-The
United States steamer Juniata arrived on
the twenty y-sixth. and her commander has
visited the l0l Virginius prisoners now re-
naming here. He has telegraphed Consul
General Hall, assuring him that no other
executions, except those of the thirty-seven
shot, had occurred, and that if the Ameri-
can government demanded a surrender of
the prisoners no difficulty would be eXpe-
rienced in obtaining them.

went down. Many OF the women saved
were floating on the water.
The captain of the Vile du Havre is re-
ported to have been quite exhausted by his
three days and nights of uninterrupted
duty. The officer who was in command
when the collision took place was lost.
The sutferings of those who were rescued
were intense, the cold being very severe.
Many persons were nearly insensible, and
would have utterly perished in a few min
utes more. The rescues were nearly all a
matter of haphazard, as time permitted no
organized effort or ATTEMPT at choice. The
purser of the steamer says in a few minutes
the ship began to sink amid great disorder
and frantic terror; the ecene was awful be-
yond all descriptions; the air was rent with
shrieks, but some were heard saying calmly:
LAS we must die, let us die nObly."
The water rushed into the hold with in
credible velocity. 1 undressed myself, and,
with a companion. jumped overheard and
swain toward the Lochearne, then half a
mile distant; as / jumped l heard the ship
cracking, and looking back saw her go
down with one plunge forward. For mo-
ment the shrieks were terrible, then all
was silent. Alas it was the silence OF death.
No SOutherners on the Vile du Hnvre.
WASHINGTON, December mo Southern
names appear among the Vile du Havre
lost. Among the rescued we're ten women.
How the Passengers Met Their Fate.
New YORK, December Especial dis
patches give the following of interest about
the loss Of the Vile du Havre: Most of the
passengers were too terrified to try to save
themselves. Many prayed, and many laid
down with the calmness of utter despair
Some, hearing the water pouring into the
ship, never quilted their staterooms. Whole
families thus went down together.

The Presidents Message,

In this mornings REPUBLICAN we present
the annual message of President Grant to
Congress. 1t is fully equal to the former
State papers Of the President, and every
line of it is worthy the careful perusal and
mature reflection of our readers. The views
of the President on the condition of our ma
tional finances, his reference to affairs With
Spain, and his vigorous allasion to the out
RACES perpetrated upon our commerce by
the unlicensed authorities in Cuba, call for
special attention.
The various recommendations in behalf of
the departments are of an interesting char
acter, while the collected information the
message contains is most valuable, as show
ing the prog iess our country has made and
is making.

The reported arrest of Professor Canclo
Bello. ex professor of Spanish in Harvard
College,is confirmed by letters from Havana.
Professor Bello went 10 Havana at the in
vitation of the Spanish authorities in rela-
tion to his property, which had been Sc
questrated, promising to restore it ON the
payment Of certain sum, he to relinquish
his claims. He was earnestly requested
not to go to Cuba and imperil his life, as it
was emily Spanish trick to get hold of him
and imprison him. He was arrrsted on the
arrival of the steamer City OF New York
in Havana recently. with some sixty Others
some of whom were in the steamer and
others were already in Havana. Professor
Bello Is in prison on charge of conspiracy
against the Spanish government, and his
friends entertain fears that false witnesses
will be trumped up against him, and that
the Spainiards may treat him as the did the
Virginius captain.

BARGAINS FAT HoLMEs.-All the world
knows that the great dry goods house of d.
H. Holmes never indulges in claptrap nor
catchpenny advertising. Whatever the
heads of that establishment advertise they
mean from the first to the last line, in every
sense and particular. Therefore our lady
readers can we'll understand from the tenor
of the advertisement which we publish this
morning, emanating from that concern, that
there are bargains to be had there-that
one of the most varied stocks of goods in
the country has been so far reduced ia price
that s. will now buy what it formerly took
81 to do. This is not because the goods are
Inferior, but because there has been an i'm
mense shrinkage in values. Therefore we
say to such as really want bargains and no
humbug, go to Holmes great store.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Jackson, for Boys and Girls.

4 visit to these schools yesterday was
pleasant one, and proved to us that
both are in excellent condition. The
buildings are in tolerable repair, and
were constructed for the purpose to which
they are devoted. The furniture is very
fair, and all The surroundings are neat and
comfortable.
In the girls school are nearly 400 in telli-
gent pupils, well dressed, and happy in ap-
pearance. In the first room, Miss l. Sim
mons, principal, exists an air of comfort
and quiet which speaks we'll for the teacher
1t is evident that the children are improy-
ing rapidly, applying their entire attention
to their lessons. just now they are full of
active preparation for the coming eXamina-
ton, and have departed from the genera |
routine. Miss Simmons has SO well per-
fl CrIned her arduOus tasks that she will have
twenty five pupils competent to enter the
High school. That is sufficient praise itself
especially when it is considered that these
twenty-five constitute nearly one-half the
number Of scholars in the principals room.
These girls are certainly as bright and am
bilious as any that can be found in either
of our public schools.
In the other rooms the advancement is
apparent, and the teachers are animated
with a proper desire to improve their
classes. All things in and around the
building look compatible and quiet In
deed, this is one OF tho best schools, public
or private in New Orleans.
DR.. Russell, director, makes almost daily
visits, taking deep interest in the general
welfare.
The following are the teachers: Miss l.
Simmons, principal; Miss E. TObin, first as
sistant; Miss NJ. Calder, adjunct assistant;
Miss o. Carter. second assistant; Misses L.
P. Green and NJ. Durainde, third assistants.
The boys building adjoins the girls, but
is entirely distinct, and is tolerably we'll To-
Gated. Each room is quite up to the aver
age standard, for the most of the lads de-
sire advancement. The teachers are ear
nest in their work, tOiling zealOusly to full
fill the duties they have assumed. The
children are of the better classes, neatly at
tired and cleanly. Nearly all the boys in
the principals room are we'll up in their
books, seeming to understand the necessity
of close application. At least ten in the
first class will be transferred to the High
School. Parents are informed that their
boys will do as we'll or better here as in any
private school. and it is suggested that if
mothers and fathers will occasionally visit
the building, both teachers and pupils will
feel pleased.
The following are the names Of the teach
ers:
Mr.. G. H. Gordon, principal Miss j. A.
TrOtt first assistant; Miss K. T. Murphy,
adjunct assistant: Miss NJ. l.. Doan, second
assistant; Miss E. b. Brown, third assist
ant; Mrs. S. Mather, third assistant.

LONDON, December 2, 5 A. M.-Captain
Urquhart, of the Tramontaine, reports that
when he met the Lochearne her bowsprit
was gone and there was large hole in her
bow above the. water line. The boat con-
tinued around the place where the steamer
went down for six hours.
The rescued people do not blame the
LOchearne for the collision. Her officers
and crew did their utmost to save life, and
only two Of the survivors remained on the
Lochearne, one of whom went mad and
could not be removed. The first boat from
the Vile du Havre was sent to ascertain if
the Lochearne could render any assistance.
The Vile du Havre is insured in London

The four boats lowered by the Lochearne
found the passengers and crew floating on
the waves, holding to planks, buoys, spars
