The morning papers comment
bitterly on the bloody climax of the
Virginius affair as indicated by
yesterdays dispatches.
The Herald says: we have moth
ing to do with Cubans, or their cause
their rights or wrongs the insult is
to our nation. The murders have
been committed on our citizens, or
on foreigners under protection of
our flag. A long list Of Spa nish out
rage in Cuba springs up to inten-
sify our anger and justify the con-
viction that Madrid has no longer
any power over the cause. We have
no desire to provoke war with Spain.
We believe there would be no war
for residents at Madrid, have our
sympathy and will be likely not to 60
to war to defend such an act They ad-
NIT to have been unjustified. A suffi.
cient force of Iron clads at Santiago
must demand the return Of the Vir-
ginius; the release of the survivors
and the surrender of Costello and
Burriel. If these demands are not
complied with the destruction of the
blood stained town should follow.
The Times thinks the silence of
the Spanish authorities is sufficient
admission of the fact that the Nir-
ginius was an American vessel.
The World suggests that of Spain
does not give ample satisfaction
when such is demanded Congress
should grant letters of marque and
reprisal without declaring war.
The Tweed Trial.
New YORK, November 15.-Tbe
trial OF Tweed continued to-day, the
Court opening promptly at 10 o'clock.
The trial is eminently counsels' bat
tie, aud the result is almost three hum
dred and sixty~fve days imprisonment
for the accused, and if it should last, as
not improbable, the aggregate imprls-
onment of the jurors will be little lees.
The Labor Situation.
New YORK, November l6.-The
city government has decided to appro.
pirate 100000, to continue the work
Of the var ious city departments, with
view OF afording employment to labor
ers during the winter. The labor mark
ct is still over-stocked with applicsnts
Of all classes, seeking all kinds o! em-
ployment. Notwithstanding that more
hopeful tone is experienced in business
circles than a week ago, the discharges
of hands Yesterday were very numerous
Thousands OF hard working men and
women are destitute, and thousands
more will bridge over the winter with
the utmost difficulty and prlvatioh.
The station houses in every precinct
are nightly crowded with poor, home
less men and women, seeking
shelter. Emigrants Of various nation
alties continue to arrive, and as work is
extremely difficult to obtain, those who
stay in the city until their money ia ex-
hsusted find a hard time OF 1t. From
these classes, and from the other des-
titute thousands already in the city,
the public charitable institutions are
being, filled. Remedies are being sug-
gested on all sides to help them, one
suggestion being the establishment oil
supplemental lodgings, close TO the sta
ton houses, and under the control OF
the police.
American Iastituto Fair.
The American Institute Fair closed
last night. The number OF visitors
during the season was three hundred
thousand, being greatly 10 excess of
former years.
Cuban Matters.
The World calculates that there is
to-day steam transport service immedI-
ately available, from this port alone, for
10000 troops, in the event OF war
The Cubans here intend holding
meetings during the week, to express
their condemnation OF the Spanish out
RACES. 1t is said that committee o.
prominent Cuban sympathisers will be
sent to Washington to Jay the matter
before the President and Cabinet. The
fund for the new expedition is progress
ing satisfactorily. The committee re.
port that in day or two they will call
on Mr.. Stuart, of Richmond, Va, to
make hia promise OF $4,000 good, as
thew have almost subscribed one hun.
dred and fifty thousand dollars already.
