THE WAR CLOUD.

The prospect Of a Cuban war, which
a few days ago was no larger than a
mans hand, has suddenly enlarged to
threatening proportions. We expressed
an apprehension several days ago that
the local authorities would not submit
quietly to the surrender Of the Virginius
and her surviving crew and passengers
10 the United States naval forces and
other conditions Of the lately signed
protocol. The opinion prevailed at
Washington yesterday that the Spanish
authorities at Havana would be unable
10 deliver up the Virginius, owing to the
state of public feeling. Various specu-
Iations have been made as to the result.
In some quarters it is believed that If
Snaiu cannot enforce her authority upon
the island she will countenance the
United States in seizing the Virginius
in the harbor of Havana. The navy is
well in hand and prepared to strike a
decisive blow il necessary. The Gov
eminent cannot, without disgrace, re-
cede from the demands made upon
Spain. General Grant, considering
that he is military man, has
exhibited an unexpected amount of
patience and forbearance toward Spain
on the one hand, and has prevented Sec
rotary Fish from apologizing on the
other. II war comes, we will at least
have a just cause and the sanction of the
civilized world. Further negotiations
will not be entertained. 1t bias come to
this. Spain must comply with the terms
of the protocol, or force will be used by
the United States, and war will ensue.

BLADEvILLE, KY, December 6-At
one o'clock yesterday the Sheriff OF
Marshall, in company with a guide sum-
moned for the occasion, called upon the
taller and took charge of Lindsay
Brown and Levy Clapp, both eolored
men. who committed an outrage upon a
white woman some time since, and seat
ing them upon their plain wooden cot
fms, conveyed them to the place pre-
pared for their execution. In a few
minutes more they stood upon the plat
form of the gallows, and being asked if
they wished to speak, Lindsay Brown,
who appeared to be somewhat agitated
and alarmed, proclaimed in a loud voice
that he was innocent. He called for
Westbreoks and accused him Of swear
ing falsely, and called upon God to for
give his perjury. Levy Clapp appeared
cool and self.possessed, and said he was
innocent of the crime of which he was
convicted. He said Mrs. Wilson made
a great mistake when she testified that
she saw him in Milburn on the night OF
the 18th of August. Both called sol.
emily upon God to witness the truth Of
their dying declaration. The Sheriff
then bound their hands and feet. cut the
trap-door loose, and in twenty minutes
this scene of suffering was ended in

CONCERT.
POSTPONEMENT.
Fourth Gift Concert
OF Public Library of Kentucky.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
CONCERT.

The Trustees of the Public Library Of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Concert
announce the postponement of the Fourth Gift
Concert until Tuesday. the Slst of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the last
two months paralyzed the business of every
section of this country and of Europe. has
prevented thousands from investing in tickets.
The epidemics pervading almost the entire
South have Gu I off large and available mar
ket. And. too, the public judging from the
effects of these causes have expected post
ponement and have declined to invest without
more positive assurance of the drawing
| taking place on a fixed day.
ALI interested desire full drawing, but for
the reasons just stated this could not be had
on the Sd of December, but the short postpone
ment now announced will secure it.
The management have met with unprece-
dented success. The sales of tickets the pro-
ceeds of which have already been received,
amount to OVER MILLION DOLLARS, with a
number Of agencies in this country yet to hear
from. and all those in Europe.
Thus drawing Sealing the gifts one -halG
could be had now, but the management deem
it best to have postponementan and full drdto-
ing.
This postponement assures The sale of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the appreciation
of nearly every one interested is made appa-
rent blythe very numerous letters received
from every section of this country and the
Canadas asking for postponement.
This action of the management will work no
detriment to any. but will be for the good Of
all. By it the fortunate ticket-hOlders win
receive their gifts in full. while it will not
affect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the manage
ment emphdtically state that there shall be no
further postponemeru and to this end all agents
will DO imperatively required to close up and
transmit their accounts to this office by the
2lst Of March.
