ton OF the protocol, signed by Secretary
Fish and the Spanish Minister. caused
intense agitation and general indigna-
ton here; but popular feeling is calming
down, under the conviction that tho
Spanish Government will defend Spa-
nish honor. and under the confidencc
which is placed in the sense aud jastice
and prudence OF the people Of the
United States. There have been no vio-
lent demonstrations, aud the peace Of
the city is undisturbed. The people and
authorities are in. full accord, and re-.
ports OF the resignation OF the higher
officers OF the island are positively con.
tradicted. The authorities are deter
mined to save the country and prevent
foreign interferencs. Captain. General
Jovellar has issued the following procla-
nation:
INHABITANTS OF HAVANA: It is my
duty to prevent public opinion from
going astray. I consider it opportune
to address you as friend, recommend
ing tue utmost calmness under the pre-
sent circumstances. The Virginius
question has given Spain's enemies an
opportunity to spread false rumors and
alarming news. Certainly they would
produce an effect on your ardent and
unimpeachable patriotism. while their
only object was to promote the rebel
cause. It is true, that treaties have
been made, and that I have received
communications in relation to them but
If I have managed to inspire you with
any confidence, give me proof Of it by
your reflective and tranquil behavior.
Be assured, I will do everything possi-
ble in behalf OF the interests of the pro-
vince and the dignity of the nation,
which, like yourselves, hold in higher
esteem than life.
(Signed.) JOVELLAR.
The proclamation has been extensive
ly distributed in the theatres, cafes and
other public places, and the excitement
is subsiding. The Virginius remains at
the arsenal, aaoat and in good condi-
ton.

vuna have issued an ediot ordering
priests to refuse Pedro Liorente, Arch.

their charge, because Liorente is in

OF the College of Cardinals, which re-
places as Vicar-Priest Obera, who was
expelled by Liorente.

Government demanded surrender of
the prisoners, no difficulty would be ex-
perlenced in obtaining them.
LONDON, December "a Berlin do.
spatch states that Inc city of Posen will
probably be declared in a state of siege,
IN consequence of the ultramontane

was lost in lowering the boats; no orders
were given, as the officers were distract.
ed, and each helped himself. AS the
long boat contained no first class passen-
gers, the sailors and coal boys rushed
and took possession-all rescues being
effected subsequently,. No life pre-.
server was in its proper place.
