WARRINGTON, Nov. 9.-The Secretary
Of State has sent instructions TO both Min.
lister Slckles at Madrid, and Consul Cen
eral Hall at Havana, to telegraph as soon
as possible. all the facts in regard to the
capture oi the Virginius, and the execu.
tion Of the parties on board that vessel,
but Hall replies that there Is some inter.
ruption Of the telegraphic line between
Havana and Santiago De Cuba, and as
yet he has been unable to learn any par.
ticulars. A dispatch from Sickles states
that the Madrid Government had no in. |
formation Of the execution until after It |
had occurred. The only information the |
Government now has, Is the fact that
the Virginius was captured and sew.
eral persons on her executed, but
In what waters or under what
the vessel was cap
tured no information has been receiv.
ed. Until these facts are known official.
ly the Government will take no action In |
the matter. The question being very
delicate 1t Is not the intention Of our au.
thorities to take any steps which cannot
be maintained under the law Of nations.
Our Government is not satisfied that the
Virginius 10 entitled to the protection Of
the United States. 1t Is true she sailed
from New York under American regis.
tration, but 1t has been charged that she
was sold to Quesada some 10 or IS
months ago al Curacao, and since that
time has been sailing both Cuban
and Venezuelan flags, and II that charge
should turn out TO be true, she canaot re.

The indications are that the CASTELAR, Gov
ernment Is disposed to act perfectly honest
with the United States; but the internal
dissensions now In existence In Spain do
much towards embarrassing 1t on the Is.
land OF Cuba. The influenced Of the
Casins Espagnal Club Of wealthy slave
holders has been very disastrous to the
home Government, TO say nothing Of
the Insurrection there. The feeling In
official circles here Is anything but
unfriendly towards Spain, and 1t Is
the impression that only q few days will
elapse before 1t will be seen that Castel.
ars Government Is anxious to have friend
ship and encouragement Of the United
States. The Stste Department Is not
aware that any United States vessel has
been sent to Santiago DeCuba, but 1t is
probable that orders have been issued by
Rear Admiral, commanding the North
Atlantic squadron for one Of the vessels
on that station to proceed thither.
