HAVANA, via KEY WEST, Nov. 15.-Tho follow
ing account Of events at Santiago do Cuba havo
beon received here: On Friday morning, the
7th, thirty-soven of tho crow Of the VirginiuB

It seemed as If they would never finish. At
last the sailors marched Off and tho troops filed
past the long row OF corpscs. Then tho dead
carts were hurried up. and loaded iudlscrim-
lnately with the manglol fomains.
THE AMERICAN CONSUL
has done al that could have been done. In
decd, it WAS threatened that his oxeQuatur would
be withdrawn for his ezortions in behalf Of the
prisoners. In m interview with Gen. Burriel,
That officer yelled at him aud otherwise treated
him disrcspoctfully. THO British Consul also
made an Intellectual protest against the oxeou-
ton. 1t is reported TINT sixteen Of tho victims
were British subjects.
GROWING ANXIOUS.
HAVANA, via KEY VEST, Fla, Nov. 15.-Great
anxiety is manifested hero to 300 tho comments
Of tho American proBs upon the capture of tho
Virginlus and tho shooting of the prisoners.
There is general feeling TINT it is desirable to
have nll tho prisoners executed as quickly as
possible, before tho Government of Spain or
my other power Gun got a chance to intervene,
although some Of the r-foo'ing portion of
the people dcprecuto undue haste, aud fear that
1t may lead to serious results.
Do,rgAsTEs run1oso.
The address Of Gen. Burriol is very bombastic.
Describing the chase and capture of the Virgini-
Us, lie says: "Tho Tornado belched forth flames
instead Of smoke, going at her fullest
peed. She finally camo up with and captured
he Virgnius, which WAS taken possession Of
with repeated oriea of Viva Espana from
the Tornado's valiant crew, and without
tho slightest resistance 1G3 men do1iy-
srod themselves quietly up, having cowardly
thrown overheard, during the chase, tho arms
Which they ought neyor to have grasped, aud tho
tAA44lnl4 GHAlpubo GouuuGu W lHtu1 u uelGHl
their iEnoble cause. This goes to chow and to
confirm tho poverty Of our enemies, and demon
strates their impotence against tho armies OF
Spain, which Providence mauifestly fayors."
WHERE THE CAPTURE WAS MADE.
The Sccaridad complains OF tho inoxactncss oi
TIE press telegram which stated that tho Vir.
ginius WIS captured near Ja,naica. According
to the official statements, tho VirSiuius wat
eighteen miles from tho const Of Cuba. WheI
tho chase began she headed for Jamaica, dis
tance of about 100 niles. Tho Gins.
lasted eight houra, both steamers 60
ing at full spaed, and both beiug fas
vessels. They must, therefore, have heen ver.
near Jamaica when the VirgnIus WAS over
hauled, but, rs lie Captain, all tho navigntors
aud tho crew Of the yirginius luye been killed
Tho Spaniarls can put tho. distance at what the
please.
