Great anxiety Is manifested here - see rhe
comments OF the New York press upon the
capture OF the Nirginius and the shooting OF the
prisoners. There r. a general feeiink that ~ -
desirable TO have al the prisoners exec ted a.
quick a. possible before the government OF

portion of the people deprecate undue haste
and fear that i NAV lead TO serious results
MHIsTLING To KEEP THEIR COuRAGEV
The CoHsi7ssia newspaper says; mo m after
how much our country has fallen In the last i've
years, the Spanish people have not become de-
graded 10 such an extreme as 20 be frightened
by those who might have 10 pay dear for their
temerity and insclence In event of in teryention.
We lament the bad situation Of affairs OF our
country, but are far IRON being dAunted by
foreign complications. Maybe We ought 20 de-
sire them IN order 20 liherste from miserable
partly intrigueS. Spain Is not degenerate An
bad passions will Immediately become quiet
when there i prospect OF a foreign war. The
stronger powers know this and their intriguing
politicians ought not 10 forget IL .UnfOrtn-
nstunately the Spaniards give more importance
tothe latter than they merit. The CoasfaHtia
also SAYS: When the news OF the capture OF the
Nirginus was received here &c was thought that
something would be tried TO prevent the pirates
from receiving their Just chastisement.
TIE ADDRESS OF GENERAL HuRR.LL
10 the soldiers II very bombastie. Describing
the chase and capture OF the Eirginius ne szyss
Ihe TORNADO b.ighed forth flames instead OF
smoke. Going a her best speed she finally
came up with and captured the irginius which
was taken possession OF with repeated cries OF
Viva EsISns from the TornadOs valiant
crew, without the slightest resistance from the
others. one hundred and sixty three men de-
lyered themselves quietly up, having COW
ardlN thrown overheard during the chase the
arms which they ought never 10 have grasped,
and the military equipage coutided % them ~
defend their iguoble cause. This goes 20 show
and confirm the poverty Of our enemies efforts.
and demonstrates their impotence against the
armies OF Spain. which Providence manlfestly
faYCrs.'
WHERE WAS TIE yIRGINIus CAPTURED
The Legoi5-iJ complains OF the ineNactuess OF
The press telegram which stated that the VIZ
ginius was captured near Jamaica. According
10 Official statements the Nirginius was u miles
from the coast OF Cuba when the chase began.
She headed for Jamaica, distant about one hun
bred miles. Tie chase lasted eight hours, b0th
being fast vessels. They must. therefore. have
been yeTy near Jamaica when the Eirgiuius
was Oyerhauled; but as the captain. an the
nsvigators and crew Of that vessel have been
shot by the Spanisrds, they can nut the distance
at what thew please.
The mails per the steamer Frankfort from
New Orleans, were seized by the government
and then distr5bution has not yet been permit
