able Aspect. .a1Eri
WASHINGTON. November 22.-Tht
Republican this morning has the fol
lowing, which Is said to be the Ad'
ministratlon statement Of the situation
OF Cuban affairs up to this hour
"The Government has reason to con.
graduate itself upon the aspect OF the
present condition Of It's negotiations
with Spain. It will be remembered
that as soon as the first Information Of
the Santiago slaughter was received
the Government instructed Minister
SIekles to convey Its protest to the
Madrid authorities, In the most en-
phatic manner, against the outrage,
and subsequently a demand for recla.
nation sufficient to repair the injury
inflicted upon the victims Of the
slaughter and atone for the insult to
our flag, was submitted to the same
authorities. The result of this prompt
action was the transmission Of an or
der from the Madrid Government to
the Havana authorities to suspend fur
Their executions until a more satis-
factory investigation could be had.
The effect Of this order was to prevent
any additional butcherles after It had
been received by Governor Burrisl.
The United States Government
Is therefore entitled to credit tor hay
Ing saved, by Its prompt Intervention,
many imperlled lives Of members Of
the unfortunate crew Of the Virginlus.
Great credit Is also due Minister Sick
les for this result, as 1t Is known that
he had taken initiative steps before the
receipt OF special Instructions from our
State department to secure It.. Dis
patches official, and otherwise, conclu-
sively prove that II our Government
had not interviewed, the majority Of the
remainder Of the crew would have been
sacrificed. Burriel's submission to the
Spanish Government, Is already made
apparent beyond possibility Of contra
dlction. The Spanish Government Is
therefore entitled, SO far as this SUBJ
mission Is concerned, to whatever
credit may accrue from the fact that
IL effectually'an promptly responded
In = favorable manner to u first de-
mand In the premises, II Its COM.
mands had been di'lodged the case
would have presented a different "a
pect, but as It is we are compelled
to accept the fact Of Burrlel's obedl-
ence thereto as proof Of the honest In
tentIon OF the CASTELAR, Government to
have a satisfactory and honorable set
Element of the difficulty. No doubt
exists that the Imperative necessity for
action on the part Of our Government
OF a most aggressive and unpleasant
kind to protect Its citizens has been
removed by this new aud favorable
fen ture Of the case. At the Cabinet
meeting yesterday, which lasted four
and a half hours, the official dispatches
submitted confirmed the belief that
there Is no more reason to abandon the
idea for attaining a just conclusion
now than there was yesterday. Sem
sational tales now so rife may have Q
temporary effect. but facts remain as
they we're when we announced the re-
ceipt Of Official Information that the
Spanish Cabinet Is unanimous In favor
OF q satisfactory and honorable
settlement Of the Virginius difficulty,
but regard the maintenance Of the
integrity Of Spanish territory as
essential. When 1t 10 understood that
no new developments have occurred
since this announcement was made,
except those regarding the obedience
by Burriel to the commands Of the
home government, which, as lie says,
must be accepted as favorable indlca-
lions Of an honest purpose Of that
government to deal justly, It will at
once appear that the situation prom
Uses favorable, II not peaceful. results.
1t Is now almost certain that delays
will occur to such an extent that the
case will Of necessity be presented to
Congress In an incomplete condition.
These delays are the result Of the I'm.
terruption Of Geographic communlca-
tion between Havana aud Santiago de
Cuba and other apparent reasons,
among which is the impossibility that
either the Government will be able to
possess itself of all the necessary facts
before that time. For these reasons
Government will not insist upon Its
original intention 10 demand an iln-
mediate ultlmatum. 1t will neverthe-
less use Its utmost enveavor to close
the case as soon IS q reasonable posi-.
bility will admit. In view Of the con-
duct Of the CASTELAR, Government thus
far 1t Is not expected that a pos
tive request will be made for
unreasonable delays. 1t Is therefore
TO b. hoped that the difficulty
will reach an amicabie adjustment In
time to satisfy the desire OF the people
for re~paration, and at the same time
not do violence TO the apparent neces-
sity for more definite Information than
l now In our possession"
