THE AGREEMENT WITH SPAIN
Continued from First Page.

Bazan council of war was held in the afternoon of
that day at the Governors Palace, and the com
manders of all the Spanish vessels in the harbor of
Santiago were present. The Governor asked il any
commanding officer present could say that his ship
could outsteam any American man-of-war in the
harbor To this the captain of tho Bazan replied
that he did know he could do so but give him six
hours start, and he would guarantee the safe
delivery of all the prisoners at Cienfuegos. They
were placed on his vessel, and he had eight hours
start before the American Consul reported the fact
of the removal to Commander Braine. The removal is
thought to have been caused by the fear of an attempt
at rescue On three occasions the American vessels
had fleet exercise, and each time the Spaniards
manned the foitihcations for action and volunteers
patrolled the shore, evidently anticipating land
attack. Our men on the Junata and Wyoming
were anxious for orders to land and take out the
prisoners and it is reported that the First Lleuten-
ant of the Wyoming volunteered to take 200 men and
do the job. There about 1900 volunteers at
Santiago. The insurgents are in considerable force
in the immediate neighborhood. and the volunteers
are afraid to venture out to a distance of than
two or three miles. The sale of photographs of
Gen. Burrel to foreigners is prohibited, well
the sale of New-York papers. The volunteers
belgeront. and have no idea of yielding to the de-
mands of the United States.
Commander Gushing had an official interview
with Gen. Burriel, in which Burriel promised to
allow Gushing to see the prisoners at such time
might be convenient to the latter Ten o'clock next
day was named and at the appointed hour Cushing
went but he was allowed to see only those claim
ing America citizenship. The interview was in the
Courthouse Gushing was not allowed TO talk TO
the prisoners The Quartermaster began to tell the
bearing of the Virginius when the capture took
place. but the Spanish officer sent him summariy
ont of the room. All are well on the Wyoming
Kansas and Juniata.

A BILL PASSED TO ADD 1900 MENS TO TIE NAVY
FOR ONE YEAR.
lBY TELEoRAPn TO THE rRIBuxE.l

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The House to-day showed
a ready willingness TO accord the Administration
whatever in reason is required on the Cuban ques-
ton. Mr.. Scofeld, Chairman of the Naval
Committee. offered bill to increase the
strength of the navy 800 men. The discussion
on the bill was quite interesting, and showed that
the present strength is $500 men, The bill provided
for permanent increase, but the discussion showed
that the House was averse to this permanency.
There a running debate of an hour in which
there many short speeches for and against the
increase. The West was generally against it, Hale
OF Name opposed the bill, because, he said. we
wanted ships at this time more than men. The
amendment OF Garfield that the increase should only
continue one year was adopted, aud the bill passed.
