HOW THE SETTLEMENT is REGARDED ~


DELAY REQUESTED-MAss OF THE PEOPLE OPPOSED
TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or RESISTANCE
HAVANA Nov. SO.-The news of the settlement of
the Virginius question between Spain and the United
States, and the terms upon which it is based, was
received here with much excitement, but perfect
order prevails among the people and the volunteers
The chief authorities Of the island assembled in
conference, have sent "a manifesto to the Spanish
Government asking il TO wait until it shall have
ceived protocol about the Virgnus ease, which
shows the right of capture and the justice of the
subsequent proceedings.
The mass of the people oppose the surrender Of the
yirginius, OF any yielding to pretensions which
may dishonor the Spanish flag. The tone of the
press Is in accord with the popular feeling.
Extraordinary means and resources are being
created to resist any aggressive act although
thinking people do not expect it, knowing the
prudence OF the American Government.
