country, there is no doubt, has already
been flashed all through Europe, by
means Of the Atlantic cable and tele-

great men always runs ahead of them,
and the people Of Europe are not Glow

predict for them huge time, which we
hope they will enjoy and improve, and

THE SURRENDER OF THE CITADEL. :
The rumor prevalent in the city for the
past two or three days, that the military
wore about to evacuate the citadel and
rclinquish possession to the State, is moi
without foundation, orders having been

that effect, and the garrisons at the
arsenal and at the citadel are at present
busily engaged in making preparation
for the contemplated removal. It is tic

had demanded possession of the citadel,

leaped Into a set Tub of about Two feet in depth,

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-Thcrc is another
hitch in the programme agreed upon by Secrc'
tary Fish and Admiral Polo with regard to the
Virginius. 1t is learned tonight that she was
to have been delivered up yesterday, but she
still remains at her moorlngs in the harbor OF
Havana. The understanding is said to have
been that she would be towed out of the harbor
by Spanish gunboat, where one OF our fleet
would be in readiness to receive her aud con-
voy her to Key West. That this was not done
is evidently owing to the excited state Of the
popuace in Havana Both Governments de-
sire to avoid the complications that would re-
suit from resistance on the part OF the Span
iards IN Cuba.
Secretary Fish does not credit the press re-
ports from Havana. He says the Spanlards
are the most secretive people in the world, and
that if Captain General Jovcllar has really
rendered his resi- gnation as stated, he would
hardly have made public the reasons which lm-
PEELED him to take that step. On the other
hand it is believed by many that Jovellar Is
evidently in sympathy with the Spanish cle-
ment iu Cuba, which is opposed to carrying out
the agreement of the Madrid Government.
He would naturally let the reasons for his re-
signatiop be known.
Outside of the State Department tn, reports
from Havana find general crcdence, aud the
work of placing the navy on a war footing con
tnues to be vigorously prosecuted. There is
10 iutimation as yet that the Castelar, Govern
ment has any intention of receediug from its
agreement, but the indications that it will be
unable to maintain its authority in Cuba null
tiply.
Iu this event the naval force now in prepare
ton may be brought into requiSltion, as the
Administration is determined upon maintain
ing the honor of the National flag, at whatever
cost, and against all who may oppose It's lcgiti-
mate demands. - Cor Baltimore 4mercan.
