count of the steamer Virginius, from
which it appears that On October 30th
the Spanish Consul at Kingston mott
fed the Governor of Santiago de Cuba
that the Vrginius was in the vicinity
of Morranta Bay. The Sprnish war
steamer Tornado had that morning ar
rived at Santiago de Cuba, and four
hours after the Governor received in
formation Of the Virginius, went in
search Of her. The following day the
Tornado, under full sail and but little
steam, as somesslight repairs were be-
ing made to the machinery, came in
sight of the Virginius, which probably
supposed the Tornado to be sailing
vessel, as her course was not changed.
On the Tornado every effort was made
to hasten the repairs which they were
engaged in, and at two o'clock the
chief engineer pronounced completed.
All steam possible was Immediately
got up and the vessel headed for the
Virginius, soon reaching speed of IA
knots, and hourly gaining upon her.
The Virginius, hgn in the meantime,
kept on her course. but divining the
hostile. intentions Of the Tornado, she
changed it towards Jamaica, and being
out Of coal, commenced to burn petro-
leum, grease, fat, and other combusti-
bIes from the provisions on board, as
hams, etc. Night closed in, and the
vessels were in the same relative posi-
tions, the Tornado, however, gaining.
As soon as they got within gunshot,
the Tornado fired gun, followed by
three other shots and shell. This soon
brought the Virginius to, Ind two
armed boats from the Tornado came
alongside, took possession of the ves-
sci and make prisoners of all on board.
AT the time of the capture the Virgin

this was pulled down by the Spanih
officer and the Spanish ensign hoisted
IN its place, although the papers OF

CoNFIDENTIAL.-W hear IL good
story of man who went to the from
tier to see friend. The family con-
sisted of the husband and his two
groWnsons. The good old lady was
the only one of the family who did
not take a little of the ooh, be joy
full. Sitting by the fire minute, the
old man tipped him out. Stopping by
a tree he pulled out long-necked bot
tie, remarking, II have to keep it hid
for the boys may get to drinking, and
the old woman would raise the deuce"
They took drink and returned to
the house. Soon Tom, the older son,
asked the visitor out to see colt, and
taking him behind the barn, he pulled
out a flask, remarking, II have to
keep this hid, for the old man will get
drunk and the deuce is to play and
they took drink and returned. Soon
Bob stepped on the visitors and walk
ed off, the visitor following. AS they
reached the pig pen, Bob drew out a
good sized bottle, remarking, "You
know the old man and Tom will get
drunk, and I have to hide this" The
visitor concluded he couldn't drink
with the whole family,
and started for home.

ANOTHER SNAKE YARN.--The
housekeeper Of citizen of this place
has mocking bird in her room which
is in the third story of the handsome
mansion. On going to her room Tues.
day night the lady threw an apron on
the cage, that the light might not dis
turb the songster. The cage is hung
low, near window. The lady sud-
denly heard a 1uttering noise in the
direction Of the cage. Throwing og
the covering placed there little while
before, she found that black looking
snake, three feet long, had partially
swallowed the bird. The reptile could
not get any further between the bars.
Taking the situation at a glance, the
lady made for the snake with broom
stick. The result of the fight was, the
bird jerked loose unharmed, and the
snake escaped by the window. The
lady was badly frightened. There
were two birds in the cage, so it was a
case of two to one all round. How the
"varmintn got into the third story is
mystery, as there are no trees that are
high enough on that side Columbus

! ing them. as an outrage on civilization
and humanity and an insult to the
American government. Gen. Sickles
has replied that he had an interview
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and acted in accordance with the In
struetions; and further, that the Span
ish government was duly impressed
with the responsibility, and had prom
ised to act in such manner as to show
its disapp Of the proceedings
at Santiago and at the same time its
friendship for this government.
The Spanish Minister had long
conference with the Secretary of State
to-day, and Sir Edward Thornton was
afterward closeted with the Secretary.
The French Minister was subsequently
admitted to an audience, but on diff.
ferent subject. This was what is called
adiplomatic day. one day in the week
being set apart for Foreign Ministers.
The Secretary was occupied until a
late hour with these and other callers
Of various Legations on points about
which there is much solicitude.
As to the position of the Virginius
when captured, she first dispatch to
Secretary Fish said she was captured
six miles from the coast of Jamaica;
while about the same time dispatch
was received at the British Legation
said the capture took place in British
waters.
The President being restrained by
the Constitution and laws from making
war on Spain by attacking her colo
MES, all that can now be done is in the
way of correspondence with the Mad
rid government, and official papers are
to be laid before Congress for such ac-
ton as may be for the dignity Of the
nation, the vindication of its honor,
and the full protection of it's citizens.
The government, however, in the mean
while is making preparations to meet
all issues which may arise, even if they
should require force.

HAVANA, Nov. IL.
On the 7th inst. the Captain and 36
of the crew Of the steamer Virginius
were executed at Santiago de Cuba,
and on the next day, twelve more Of
the Cuban volunteers on the vessel
were shot. Among the latter was
Francis Alfaro.
1t is said that Alfaro offered the
Spanish authorities s1,OOO,000 If they
would spare his life. The Spaniards
say that Alfaro came to assume the
Presidency Of the so-ealled Cuban Re-
public.
The voce de Cuba says editorially
that it is as humane as anybody, and
more so than many who make ostenta-
tious protestations Of philanthrophy,
but it cannot do less than approve Of
the energy displayed towards all reb-
els, and particularly those whom the
fillibustering steamer Virginins bro't
to make more bloody the war in Cuba.
The court martial for the trial of
those captured on the Virginius is still
in session, working with all possible
dispatch. Among the crew, disguised
as fremen, were Ignacia Alfaro, Rosa
Arce, Varona Castillanos, Pinedo Mol
la, and other persons Of Importance
Capt. Fry was manifestly aware of the
object of the expedition, and the ma
ture of the cargo, which he was temp
ted to take charge of by large sum
of money offered him, and thinking
there were 90 chances in 100 of his
landing in safety. It is thought this
will be the final effort of the insurrec-
tionists. The captain and crew We're
shot by a squad of marines in the
public square, and twelve of the in
surgents were shot in front of the
slaughter house wall yesterday morn
