THE ANTI-IBERIAN INDIGNATION.

How tine Popular War Pulse Beat Yes
terday An the Metropolis-DofnSs
Among Americans and Cubans-The
Mass Meetings.
The public mind has Just experienced the first re-
pose that IL has felt since the news OF the capture
OF the vrginius was communicated week ago,
and the strain OF excitement is less intense. The
people are none the less resolved, however, that
the national dignity must be maintained, nor have
they become less inclined TO believe that the Span
iards nave perpetrated series or unjustidable
butcheries. But the action OF the government has
in measure allayed their Indignation, in the hope
that it win exact the fullest possible measure OF
reparation for the wrongs done, and secure
guarantee that American ships and American
citzene shall be respected under all circum-
stances.
AMONG THE CUBAN POPULATION
there Is the same earnest resolve to continue their
work In aid OF their patriotic cause, morally and
physically and contributions continue to now
literally into the exchequer OF the society Of
AMIGOS de CUBA They are exerting themselves TO
the utmost to equip and despatch the expedition
which they are organizing, and which, 1t may be re-
lied on, will be the largest and most complete ever
despatched. At the same time they will care
fully avoid any violation OF our laws, and from
what can be at present ascertained it Is their in
tention to send it out in sections to be united at
selected rendezvous beyond the Jurisdiction Of the
United States. When thus concentrated all those
elements will 60 TO form vessel armed and
manned In a manner that win make II dangerous
for some OF the hldalgo ships TO interfere with
their purpose.
THE DIAMOND ORNAMENTS
presented by an anonymous Cuban lady a few
days ago to the AMIGOS will be disposed OF In some
form equivalent to lottery, but which shall be so
arranged and carried out not to infract the law
against lotteries The jewels are valued ac-
curately at 81 500, and the AMIGOS contemplate dis
posing OF them by series OF chances or drawings
$500 in number, at 81 per ticket. Many OF their
friends however, insist that, considering the
peculiar nature of the gift. and the fact that the
proceeds are to be devoted to so peculiar an
object, the gems should be made to realize $5, ,000
either by selling tickets at 81 or by doubling the
suggested number OF chances. There Is no doubt
that the latter amount could be realized on them
in that way.
Society submitted to the committee at It's session
yesterday letter from correspondent at
Havana, giving information OF the proceedings OF
recent
COUNCIL OF THE CASINO EsPANoL
in the latter city. At that council the Casino
adopted and forwarded TO Captain General Jouve-
lar series OF resolutions euiOgizng the action Of
Costello the commander OF the Tornado, and OF
Burriel, the Military Governor OF Santiago in the
capture and execution of the virginius victims
tanned by the government at all hazards, that
all similar expeditions be similarly treated, and
closed by asserting that, should President Grant
himself be captured in such circumstances, he
should suffer the same penalty as had been meted
out to the unfortunates of the Vrginus.
