PRIZE FIGHT.

OMAHA, Nov. 18.-Allen and Hogan,
with their trainers, left the city at an
early hour in hacks. A train of five
cars with three hundred passengers left
the depot at nine o'clock this morning
At Council Bluffs the train was boarded
by the Sheriff and two companies OF
militia. They did not find any one to
arrest, and the conductor refused to al.
low them to go along. The train pro-
ceeded six miles south and took on Allen
and Hogan. The fight took place at
Pacific city, seventeen miles south of
the Bluffs. Tom Riley of Kansas city
was appointed referee. Hogan won the
choice of positions. Allen SHE'D his
castor into the ring at 1;l5 p. IN. and
Hogan at 1870.
The first round was lively, both men
sparring beautifully. Allen was work
ing on Hogan's face, and Hogan at the
head and breast. The round closed with
first blood and good square knock
down for Hogan.
In the second round Allen gave Hogan
a heavy foul under the belt, doubling
him up. and nearly broke his wind. A
second blow knocked Hogan down. The
spectators shouted Foul - Foul y
but Riley ordered the fight to go on.
Hogan was in bad shape for the third
round, but he fought bravely. Allen
struck him another foul, and the specta.
tors broke down the ring, knives and
pistols being freely displayed.

LET Us HAVE WAR,

From one end of the land to the other
the cry is ''war" The American flag
has been insulted, and our fellow
citizens dragged from beneath its folds,
hurled into prisons, aud taken from
thence and murdered by the butchers
of the most cowardly nation on the
globe by men of race, who never
fought honorably by men who are
proverlial for carrying stilettos, with
which to stab the unsuspecting in the
back.
The Spaniards have waged cruel
war in attempting to hold on to the
gem of the Antilles. They have put to
death in the cruellest manner, the brave
Cubans, taken in battle. They have
robbed the dead, and disfgured the
bodies of the slain, and although the
Spanish aristocrats have sent army after
army into Cuba, yet that government
insists that Cuba is at peace with itself.
Then by what manner of right do they
presume to give chase to and capture
the vessels of q nation at peace with
them ? II there is no war in Cuba,
then our merchant vessels have per-
feet right to touch at any port, or point,
along the Cuban coast.
We trust that congress unless ample
PREPARATION is meanwhile made,) will de-
clare that the rights OF American citi-
zens shall BIO everywhere respected; that
rs Spain is unable to give the satisfoc-
ton needed it becomes the duty of this
government to interfere in its own be-
half, and concluding by authorizing the
president to dispatch Phil Sheridan and
twenty-five thousand volunteers to seize
upon and hold the island, and after es-
tablishing headquarters at Havana, to
await further orders
Thousands OF soldiers of the rebellion
are spelling for a fight with the bloody
Spsniards, who now infest and overrun
Cuba. Spaniards deserve punishment for
their inhumanity to man, and besides
the lovely island is too near our coast to
be in the hands of people who for five
years have been no better than mob.
Hon. s. s. Cox thus beautifully express
SEES his sentiment in the all.engrossing
subject 4" AS surely as the decay of au-
tumn is the herald of spring, SO surely
will that island--where, but for the
rava9es of man, the richness OF all soils
and the beauty of all skies would contri-
butte to endless production ; where the
vernal blooms are ever fresh and the

THE SANTIAGO SLAUGHTERED.

HAVANA, Nov. 1S.--Of the members
of the crew of the steamship Yirginius
who were not killed by the Spaniards at
Santiago de Cuba, four were condemn
ed to the chain gang for life, three to
eight years imprisonment, eight to four
years imprisonment, and three were set
at liberty.
Owing to the continuous cutting OF
telegraph wires in the vicinity of Man
zanillo, news from the latter place up to
the 14th instant, has just been received
by steamer to Batabano and thence tele-
graphed here. The people were in fear
OF another attack by the Cuban forces,
who still encircle the town and have cut
off all communication between the town
and the interior. Additional barricades
have been constructed, and some of the
streets leading toward the interior are
completely obstructed.
Reinforcements reached the city yes
| terday, and the crews of the few gun
boats in the harbor came ashore at night
to do guard duty and to assist in defend
ing the city in case of another attack.
A large number of families have left the
city, while others, especially women and
children, have taken up their abode
aboard of the gunboats and other YES
sells lying in the harbor. The houses of
some of these families were burned and
sacked during the last attack of the in
surgents.
A rumor, which has been frequently
circulated on former occasions, is that
the Cuban General, Vicente Garcia,
was killed during the attack on Manzan-
lilo.
The steamer Virginius arrived in
Havana, at two o'clock this afternoon.
She entered the harbor with the Span
ish colors at her masthead. A process
sion was formed, consisting of the Isa-
bella Ia Catolica and another man of war
in advance, the Virginius following, and
her captor, the gunboat Tornado, bring
ing up the rear. In this order they pass
ed up the harbor, the shores of which
were lined with crowds of citizens.
There was some cheering along the
lines of spectators as the Tornado

THE CUBAN OUrRAGEs.

Both the Republican and Chronicle
have editorials accepted at Washington
rejecting the Presidents views on the
Cuban question and written after inter
views with him. That of the Republi-
can is double-leaded and headed, "The
Presidents Position"
The Chronicle editorial is headed,
"war or no war with Cuba" and after
discussing at length the legal aspect of
the case, indicates what kind of repara-
ton this country will require from Spain
for the insult perpetrated in Cuba. On
this point the editorial says
She ought to atone for the wrong by
q proper disavowal of the act, by indem-
nifying our citizens for the loss of their
property, by making provisions for the
families of the slain, and by the prompt
dismissal and punishment of the Cuban
officers who are directly responsible for
these bloody and cruel outrages. !"
The Chronicle, in its account of an in.
terview with tie President by one of its
editors, says that he remarked that by
the time Congress assembled it was hop
ed that definite result would be reach
ed then the complete correspondence
would be made public. He confidently
anticipated peaceful and satisfactory
settlement of the Cuban troubles, but
thought best, however, to be prepared
to protect the American flag and citi-
zens at all hazards, and if war became
necessary the United States would be
found better prepared than the people
supposed, having large body of well
disciplined men ready to be called into
service, with the necessary arms and
ammunition.

SPAIN ASKING FOR DELAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Nothing has
been received from Spain indicating
the course she expects to pursue, ex-
cept that she does not intend to act in a
hasty manner. She has said very clear
ly that she cannot act until all the facts
are learned from official sources, and
this is equivalent to asking for a delay
of several weeks. Meantime the Presi-
dent will be obliged to complete his
message and commit the question to
Congress before decision can be
had from Spain. The awkwardness of
appearing to demand that the Govern
ment of Spain should act before she
can possibly obtain official information
formed the basis Of the discussion in
the Cabinet to-day; but it is believed
no decision was reached.

LET THE OILERS HAVE WORK.

The MONITOR, identified with the in
terests of labor, believes that the city
fathers can do no better than to keep
the heads of families at some kind of
labor during the winter. Already,
there are hundreds of idle men walking
about the streets. They have found it
impossible to procure employment, and
distress is pictured in their faces. They
will not stsrve, and we must not allow
them to beg.
Therefore, We suggest that necessary
public improvements be made this win
ter, At Paterson, the Aldermen pro
pose to allow laborers twelve cents an
hour. This sum will keep them and
their dear ones from starving, and some
plan of this nature should at once be
adopted. 1t will cost fully as much as
the labor will amount to, to keep the
idlers in food and fuel, and we shall be
the poorer Cor encouraging the aims
giving. Let the council act at once in
this matter. Forty thousand dollars ex-
pended this winter will keep the fami-
lies of four hundred men from want OF
suffering for the next three months.
We may just as well have important
works carried on, as to support the Ia
borers in idleness.
We urge upon the city council the
necessity for prompt action. Delay
will prove dangerous. Then, besides
that, the laborers will feel that they are
independent, being able to earn their
own bread.
