Eg-The summary shooting of the
Virginius captives by authority and d.
rection of what is miscalled the Gov
ernment of Cuba, was an act of atrocity
that would have disgraced nation OF
savages. But that our Government
should rush into war with Spain on
account of it, is quite another matter.
In the first place, the Spanish govern
ment probably disapproves the outrage,
and in the next place, it will doubtless
make ample apology and reparation for
the insult to our flag, if any was really
given, in boarding the Virginius. If it
shall be proven. however, that the Vir-
ginius was sailing under American pa
pers, and in British waters at the time
of her capture, something more than a
mere apology is due, particularly for
the execution of Ryan, Who was citi-
zen of the United States.
