NEW York, November "a mass meet
ing Of Cubans was held to-day. lillian CIs-
ners was president Patriotic addresses were
made and resolutions were adopted calling

WASHINGTON, November 11.-At full
Cabinet meeting, the seizure of the Vir-
ginius on the high seas, and the slaughter
Of Ryan and his companions, was discussed.
The conclusion has not transpired. Gen.
Burrel S announcement that the patriots died
with composure seems to soothe the author
tiles here into inaction.
WASHINGTON, November 1l.-Oficial in
formation from our consular representative
at Santiago de Cuba has not been received at
the State Department, although several days
have elapsed since he was telegraphed to
furnish all the particulars relating to the
seizure of tho Yirginius and the execution
which so soon followed the capture.
But notwithstanding the nOn-receipt of in
formation, the United States Government
has, as is already known, taken such action
in the premises as has, 50 far as the Spanish
government is concerned, caused delay of
proceedings relative to the captives now in
the custody of the Cuban authorities, until
all the facts in the case shall have been as
certained
The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs,
in his recent conversation with Minister
Sicklcs, expressed his Misrepresentation of the
summary manner of the execution of the
prominent persons captured with the Vir-
ginius, and gave him the assurance that no
efforts should be spared by the Spanish gov
eminent TO show the United States that Its
friendship was more substantial than mere
words, or language to that effect.
The utterances were, it is believed by
those who have been officially informed of
them, made in good faith, but the Spanish
government, like our own, admits the i'm
practicable character of those with whom
/ it has to deal in Cuba, while referring to
troubles which convulsed Spain herself,
thus rendering her almost powerless to act
efficiently in the affairs of Cuba, and re-
strain excuses which, under other circun-
stances, might be prevented.
