der date Of the la;h instant, that the

sons from the Yirginins were fifty

New YORK, November 2l.
y Herald special from Madrid, of
the Goth, say l;e situation is grave,
and sern misunderstanding cx-
lists bet wcfhS Sicklcs and the Spanish
Cabinet. On the arrival of the news
Of the capture Of the Nirginins, Pres
ident Castelar, called at the United
States legation aud expressed his re-
grnt, and ordered q suspension Of the
SENTENCE, ~hpn Secretary Fish tel-
epraphcd The news Of the execution
Gen. Sickl"s sent n note, at two
"'clnck in the morning, demanding a
stay. The foreign secretary answer.
ed questioning the accuracy of the
information, aud intimatcd tha, Sick

ppon Sicklcs, in the name of the
United States, addressed formal
protest against the iuhuman hutche-
rics aud insult To the United States,
and again demanded that Spain
should enforce Obedience TO her or.
ders in Cuba, and insisted ON the
rights of ARrricans to trial under
the treaty oi|l706. He complained
that the American consul AT Santiago
was prcvcurTN from uslrg the tcle>
graph to ashington. The Spanish
secretary answered that the matter
was wholly 4 municipal affair he>
tween SPAN and the Nirg,nius pi
rates. Spain could not tolerate Amer.
lean interference, and the interview
ended by Gen. Sicklcs demanding
that Spain should enforce the order
Of the cabinet TO Cuba for the sus,
pension Of the executions. The
Spanish minister of foreign affairs
haugh,ily declined TO permit Gen
Sickle. to discuss the municipal af.
fairs of Gala. The interview tcrmi-
mated angrily, Sirklcs saying hc

only official relations with tho min

EDITORS JOURNAL In your notice,
on yesterday, of Murder in Lumber
ton" several errors occur. Thomas
Lamb, the deceased, was white man,
instead of colored. He was put in
Jail on Saturday evening by the town
Constable, and unfortunately i'll cell
with two other white men and one
colored. He was, drunk and disorderly
and became so troublesome that VIM.
H. Baxly, one of the prisoners, was
compelled, he says, to use violence.
He was knocked down and so severely
stamped with a boot-heel, that death
ensued the next day. The verdict of
the jury was that Lamb came to his
death at the hands of Baxley. An ex-
animation of the case was rad before
Justice Sinclair and Baxley was COM
mitted without bail.
We have. had very heavy rains here
and the crops generally are looking
very fine. YOUR, &C., X. w.
