NOTHING NEw IN WASHINGTON.

Nothing new in official circles concern

received from Havana by the Secretary OF
state since those mentioned in Friday even.
ing's dispatches. The kilograms from Gen
Sickles since that time merely acknowledge
the receipt of his late instructions. A con.
ference between Gen. Sickles and the
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs will
probably take place this week and the re-
suit will be promptly reported to Secretary
Fish by cable. No kilograms has been re-

ANXIETY IN HAVANA.
HAVANA, Nov. 10.
Great anxiety is manifested here to see
the comments of the New York press upon
the capture of the Nirginius and the shoot
ing of the prisoners There is general
feeling that it is desirable TO have all the
prisoners executed as quickly as possible
before the government of Spain or any
other power can get chance to interfere,
although some of the better feeling por-
ton of the people deprecate undue haste
and fear that it may lead to serious results.
DEFIANT NEWSPAPER.
The.Constancia (IIavana) newspaper says
no matter how much our country has fallen
in the last five years, the Spanish people
have not become degraded to such an cx-
IRENE as to be frightened by those who
might have to pay dear for their temerity
and insolcncc in the event of intervention.
We lament the bad situation of the affairs
Of our country, hut are far from being
dauntcd by foreign complications. Maybe
we ought to desire them in order 10 liberatc
us from miserable party intrigucs Spain
is not degenerate. All bad passions will
Immediately become quiet when there is
any prospect Of foreign war The
stronger powers know this, and the in
triguing politicians ought not to forget it..
Unfortunately the Spanards give more i'm
portance to the latter than they merit. The
Constancia also says when the news Of the
capture of the Virginius was received here
it was thought something would he tried to
prevent the pirates from receiving their
just chastiscment
BIG WORDS.
The address of General Burriel to the
soldiers is very bOmbastic. Describing the
chase and capture of the Virginius, he
saws: The Tornado belchcd forth flames
instead of smoke, going at her fullest
speed. She finally came up with and cap
turcd the Nirginius, which was taken pos
session OF with repeated cries of 'Nva
Espani' from the Tornado's valiant crew
without the slightest resistance from the
others. One hundred and siXty-threc men
delivered themselves quietly up, having
cowardly thrown overheard, during the
chase, their arms, which they ought never
to have grasped and the military equipage
contided to them to defend their ignoblo
cause. This goes to show and to confirm
the poverty of our enemies efforts and
demonstrates their Impotence against the
armies of Spain, which providence mani
festly favors.
TIE FEELING IN LONDON.
LONDON, Nov. 10.
The Daily News of this morning, in an
editorial article on the prospects of the an
neXation of Cuba to the United States, says
the execution Of the Virginius captivcs has
virtually decided the fate of the island.
The other London journals contain edito-
rails of II similar tenor. The Spanish loan
reached the lowest figure this morning yet
touched in the London stock market.
THE PRESS on TIE SITUATION.
New York, Nov Is.
The papers are decidedly belligerent in
their tone this morning
The Herald says if the bombardmcnt and
destruction of Santiago follows the atone
ment will not be too heavy.
The Sun says the Spanish adherents in
Cuba ignore the authority of the mother
country, and it is the duty of the United
States to go to the spot and make them an
swer for every crime which has been com
mitted.
The World says if Spain prefers TO have
Cuba wrested from her rather than make
repaation the fault will be her own.
The Tribune hopes our government
while Fastening to demand reparation, will
not be driven by sensecss clamor into acts
of lawless vengeance,
