and the admiration Of their heroism and
their valor was Unbohnded. Subscriptions
IN their behalf were circulated to the most
distant parts of the island.
In the meantime. the General OF Marines
or Admiral addressed the people, saving
that the officers had only done their duty
and desired no public demonstration. They
were paid for it by the navy, in whose ser

sible and proceed to Cuba. He expects his
vessel to be out OF the dry dock in twenty
days. when nothing further will remain to
be done except to take her powder and ar
mament. Her powder is now in the ward
magazine, and her guns, which are of tie
| Armstrong pattern, and are much praised
| by the yard officials, are on Cob dock.
| The executive officers OF the Arapiles be-
| lleve that in addition to the fleet now in the
| West Indian squadron there could be put
in Cuban waters within the time specified
at least ten first class frigates each OF
about S0OO tons register and carrying
twenty-fnur guns. Aside from these
the Spanish Cuban fleet will, within a
month, consist of the Arapiles, 5000 tons
register, and seventeen guns the Pizarro,

a change in public sentiment was being
wrought 0n the fifteenth a number of
prominent citizens expressed regret that
