Syain Wants TO Alter the Pr OctOcOl
Fish Can't See II.
\ Tribune Washington special
says Secretary Fish received from
Madrid yesterday q long dispatch, in
which the Spanish Cabinet asks the
United States to agree that instead
of the delivery of the NirGiniu,
directly to the United States author
tiles, she should be placed i'll the
hands of neutral power there to
remain until the question whether
she was Il bona tide American Ves-
sci or not shall have been deter
mined. Fish replied to the dispatch
in the afternoon that an agreement
having been arranged, the United
States do not wish to be party TO
any change in its terms, and there
fore declined to accede to the re-
quest. 1t is believed at the State
! Department that the report from
Cuba yr-tc"'2v morning that Jovel-
lar has resigned Is true, and the sit
uation in Cuba is considered as
grave, still it is hoped public excite
ment will gradually subside i'll
Havana, and that the Spanish gov
eminent will be able to carry out
its part of the agreement.
Members of the Cabinet are very
apprehensive of trouble, and are,
individually, by no moans satlsiled
that Spain will be able to satisfy our
demands, as she has agreed to.
As vet no time has been fixed for
returning the Nirginius, but the YES
sci must, of course, be released bes
fore the 25th inst, at which time the
flag is to be saluted.
Another Cuban Expedition.
It's stated that another Cuben eX-
pedition is about to start from this
port. Cuban agents have charted q
vessel, which is already partly man
ned, under the command of Captain
Frederick Bowen, and negotiations
are nearly completed. The Captain
is only awaiting the payment of
sufficient sum on the part of his
employers. Captain Bowen has
been engaged in several desperate
enterprises. He was blockade rum
ner, and in the coolie trade, and
was at one time outlawed and a
price set on his head by the Spanish
Government for successfully landing
slaves in Cuba. In 1872 he was COM
mander of the Eirginius. The
steamship .Etna, which sails Mon
day for Kingston, takes out large
number of Cubans.
American Arms for the Sp aniards.
1t was stated by prominent
member Of the Cuban Junta ycster-
day that the Spanish Government
had given an order at the Reming-
ton Rifle factory at llion, New York,
for one hundred thousand stand OF
arms. Its stated the factory is run
ming day and night to fill the order,
and that eighty thousand stand OF
arms have Just been shipped by the
steamer Moro Castle.
Bunkum.
Senior De Canto, the editor of the
Spanish paper FL Chronista, OF this
city, has advices from Washington
which lead him to believe his ar
rest is contemplated, he thinks such
would be an unwarrantaNe pro-
ceednC. He is an American citi-
zen and the worst he has said is that
the demands Of the United States
should not be acceded TO, and that
the government twice allowed the
Nirginius to aid the outlaws.
The rumer that the schooner
Abort W. smith, which cleared from
ElizabethpOrt for Key West, with
coal. is q Cuban privateer, is not
credited by the Naval officers, who
state ! the Navy Department had
recently purchased 1000 tons Of coal
for the use of the squadron in Gu
nan waters, and that the 4. w.
smith was probably one Of the large
number of transports employed to
carry il down there. That the YES
sci should carry few articles OF
merrandiSe is not at all strange, but
the object Of the vessel is strictly le-
gitimate,
Another Cuban Expedition.
The representatives of the Cuba
Government and the Cuban Junta,
