are just now making extraordinary effort
to establish sectarian schools, and note
it as part of plan to destroy the pres

A Washington special says the Depart
ment of State has no official advices e,
cept those received by the Navy Depar
ment, concerning the case of the su,
picious steamer Virginius, and the actio
of the United States Consul. 1t appear
to be conceded that the Virginius is SUI
piled with papers of such character {
to entitle her to protection under the fla
} of the United States. How she obtaine
her papers is question which, if invest
gated, might not justify the conduct {
our Consul at Aspinwall, in putting h,
under the protection of the United State
steamer Kansas. 1t is held, howeve
that they could not get back to the ship
J which were in proper form, and inquil
, into the manner in which they wei
/ secured. The Secretary of State wi
await an official account from the Cons
before taking action in her case. I'll
general impression is that he will be SUI
J tanned.
