CUBA.
What the DiariO Saws,

what these Cuban patriots are. Far
from ourlminds be the feeling of arrogance
from our hearts We neither seek nor shun
peril. If the Americans oblige us to fight
we will; if the mother country can aid US we
will thank her, but if we must contend
alone, there are enough Spaniards in Cuba
to keep our banner safe. We will sell very
dearly that which was once the most bril-
liant flower of the crown of CASTLE.
Count san Fernando.
The funeral of the late Count San Fer
nando, took place to-day. The attendance
was large and the ceremonies imposing.
The murderer committed suicide in prison
last night by taking poison.
Views Of the Constancin.
The Constancia indignantly repudiates
the idea that Spain could consent to sub
nit the settlement of the Virginius ques-
tion to arbitration. 1t does not believe
such proposition has been seriously en-
tertained, and pronOunces Madrid dis
patches reporting it d pure fabrication of
the enemies of Spain, W no seek by this and
similar falsehoods to misead public opinion.
1t continues: "Our country can not have
descended to such degree as to abdicate
the rights of free natlon We think la
borants and their sympathizers invented
this suggestion with ends that all loyal
Spaniards can divine, knowing well the OBJ
ject of all their intrigues and talsehOod is
to defeat the right of Spain to seize such
vessels as the Virginius and punish, in ac
cordance with the law of all nations, the
tilibusters they bring to our shores.
The Virginius Discussed Two Hours in
the Cabinet-Ei2ht Hundred Marines
Going to Key West-RumOre ed Receipt
of Dispatches Promising n Peaceful
solution of the Troubles.
WASHINGTON. November 25-The Cabi-
net session today was OF two hours dura
tion; all members were present excepting
Secretary Robson, who is in Philadelphia.
The Virginius affair only received consider
alton. 1t is stated Secretary Robson will
issue an order for battalion of marines, to
accompany the Franklin to Key West, 800
strong, and the command of the same will
be rendered to Lieutenant Colonel James
Forney. a son of Colonel John w. Forney
The Spanish question was debated, but
no additional facts we're presented by the
Secretary of State. nor was any new action
taken relative to the subject. Nothing has
occurred since the capture Of the Nirginius
and the executions which followed to show
that alls Spanish government is influenced
by any but !. friendly desire to preserve
peace between the two nations, and it pos
eble 20 cultivate stronger relations OF friend
ship.
THIS government will act toward Spain
as toward all other countries in cases of
controversy, and will await, with proper
respect, plies 10 our complaints. There is,
however, anxiety expressed for intelligence
from Spain ST :. decisive character in order
that Congress may, in the President 5
message. be made acquainted with al. the
facts.
There are indications that dispatches
were received tonight by both Secretary
Fish and ACipirai Polo, the Spanish minis
ter, IRON Madrid, OF 3 character which
gives more than heretofore promise OF a
peaee tuI solution OF the present complica-
tons, and it is known that these gentlemen
were in private conference for several hours
tonight at the residence of MIR. Fish, com
| pairing dispatches aud discussing generally
the situation of affairs.
Itappears to be the impre sion that in
stead OF our governma ut having to wait for
| reports from Minister Sickles concerning
| tie Spanish Cabinets views, their Cabinet
| has conferred extraordinary power on Ad
| niral Polo to communicate directly with
| our government through the Secretary oil
| State.
! At all events the Spanish minister ID now
| brought into more intimate communication
| with Secretary Fish than at any time since
tho present trouble began. 1t was remarked
tonight by gentleman prominently con
necteh with this government that things
look far more hopeful now than ever.

War Talk in nIIavana-PrepnriBg for De
fense-Guns Being Mounted, but NJ
Men 10 Wcrl Them-The Tornado.
| NEW YORK, November "a letter from
! Havana, dated November 20, says there il
| much talk of war with the United States
| L He CdDtdlu CtutId HI5 tlit
| have had several meetings, but the resul
| OF their deliberations is not known. One
| thing is certain. however, that pre- eparation
| for defense are being actively made.
Guns are being mounted ON all the f0rtl
around the city; who they will get to man
| them is another matter, as they have NJ
artillerymen. Powder is also being sup
! piled, and general hustle is noticed arounI
| the arseuals. The people talk warlike, anC
express their determination TO make nj
| concession. They say they will fight to the
| last before they will give mp the Virginia
| or any of the persons who took part in The
| execution of her crew.
The conservative journals publish articles
TO affect the people, and the republican pa
pers join in for tear they will not be consid
| cred patriotic. The statement that thf
| Tornado is a captured blockade runner IL
incorrect. She was built iE England for the
Chilian government at the time of war with
Spain, and was captured by the Spanish
man OF war Gero ma and taken into CaCiz,
where she was condemned and sold. She
is a fine vessel.
