NEW YORK, Dec. GA dispatch to
the Tribune from Key West contains the
following: The Vlrginius prisoners sur
rendered at Santiago do Cuba say that
when tho officers from the Tornado
boarded the Virginius, one Of them, In
hauling down the flag Of the United
States, tore 1t into ribbons and trampled
on 1t, asserting with an oath, "This Is
what have wanted" The situation at
Santiago de Cuba Is reported very seri-
Gus. Only week ago twenty-five citi.
zens were arrested, and after a mock
trial, without any evidence having been
adduced against them, they were told to
60 home. On the way they were cruelty
wsylaid and killed, only one escaping,
and he was riddled with bullets. Amer
leans are continually in fear for their
lives, and bitterly complain that nothing
has been done to redress their wrongs.
1t Is not safe for an American officer to
go ashore alone at Santiago. All along
the river.line the Spaniards are erecting
new batteries.

SECRETARY DRLKNAP RRv1srNa HIS rs
% al TrMATEs.
General Belknap, Secretary Of War, Is
disposed to cut the estimates Of the War
Department down to the lowest possible
limits. Those ior the military service
proper received his personal attention
and were calculated as closely as possible,
but he proposes to readjust them and re-
duce them as far as the actual require
ments oil the service will permit. The
estimate Of appropriations, for fortif-
cations, armament Of forts, and for rivers
and harbors, amounting In the aggregate
to about twenty millions, can be very ma
terially reduced. Congress can decide as
to the locations where appropriations are
needed. It appears that almost all the
departments are burdened with additional
clerical work by the operation OF the act
requiring separate accounts to be rem
dered under each head Of the appropria-
ton and for each fiscal year, as well as by
numerous calls by Congress for reports.
