The telegraph informs US that Sena-

THE CUBAN QUESTION IN TOWN.

The see-saw OF excitement In relation to the
Cuban question, which has led to the sandwiched
announcements on SO many occasions that ''War
Is inevitable" ''The prospects more encouraging
for peace" "Spain cannot enforce the terms OF the
protocol sThe crisis Is past and war averted,"
"Grave aspect Of the Spanish question:" has just
about used up the public patience and interest In
the matter, and people have become so utterly
mtstrustful OF the government action that, the
more startling the nature Of the news, the more
they are disposed to chuckle and laugh at it.
Almost every other day for the past ten days the
announcements OF 'ImpendIng war" and assured
peace" have been alternsted, and people do not
like to be humbugged in that way either by indi-
viduals or by the government-least OF ALL indeed.
by the government There was no excitement
whatever discernible yesterday in public resorts
two Powers are now welcome to .dicker 1t out on
Che present line, II it takes all winter.n
There was nothing OF public interest transpiring
at the rooms Of the Society OF Amigos de cuba yes
called on by some OF the German committeeman
appointed at the mass meeting lately held. Later
in the afternoon joint conference OF Germans and
Cubans was held at the Germanla Assembly Rooms,
in the BOwery. to perfect arrangements for the
share to be taken in the great citizens mass meet.
ing TO be held at Cooper Institute on Friday even
present appearances, will be very distinguished,
extensive and thoroughly representative affair.
The report that the fast Havana mail steamer
City OF Merida had been sold, with view Of de-
signs against the peace Of the much worried Span
iards In Cuba, is utterly without foundation. Her
owners, Messrs Alexandra Sons, state that she
that in fact, they cannot spare her from the regu-
lar service OF their line. She is having some ordi
nary repairs done to her furnaces and between
decks ana will sail on the Gath on her regular trip.

THE CASE IN WASHINGTON.

Commander Braine's Report ON the
Capture OF the virginius-Taken ON
tho High Sea Under tho American
Flag-The Captured Ships Papers in
Order-Thc Mock Trial or tho Victims
What the Defences OF Santiago are
Worth-Can BE Taken by One Ship.
WASHINGTON Dec s, 1878.
The following is an abstract from despatch
sent to Rear Admiral Scott by Commander Braine
and telegraphed to the Secretary OF the Navy,
from the flagship Worcester, under date or Key
West, Fla, December 81
The virgnlus was captured October CT, at ten
O'Clock P. NJ. IS miles or Morant Point, Jamaica.
Sne was sighted by the Tornado 20 miles south OF
Cuba, and was chased by her eight hours. Five
shots were fired to bring her to. She was cap
tured under the American nag, and carried Amer.
lean papers, She had clearance from Jamaica.
Both vessels returned to Santiago de Cuba to-
gether In IS hours under steam.
The virginius carried the Spanish flag, and was
In charge of prize crew. One hundred and fifty.
five persons were captured, Of whom 1O2 are still
alive.
The shooting OF the officers and crew was done
under the orders Of the previous commandant OF
the naval forces. The shooting OF the passengers
was done under an order issued by Caballero
de Rodas when Captain General Both SEN
tences were approved by General Burriel.
Only four were shot on November 4. Thirty
seven, Captain Fry and crew included,
were shot on the 7th and IL passengers on
the Sth. They were tried by o military and marine
court martial They were held "A hours before ex-
ecution. No counsel for defence was allowed and
the Consul was not informed OF the trial. No in
terrogation OF the prisoners was allowed. During
the trial Captain Fry and the crew were kept on
board the Tornado. They we're then taken to Jail.
Their sentence was read and executed the same
morning.
The trial was extremely secret. After the con-
demnation the United States Consul was allowed
to see Captain Fry in JAIL and this was only two
hours before the execution. The armed guard was
placed at the door OF the Consulate when the Cap.
tain and crew were passing BY on the way to their
execution.
The defences ut Santiago de Cuba are The
MORO Castle, at the entrance, and some old works
containing 80 guns-ten, eight and six-inch, by
port. Only guns can be seen--the Estrella bat
terry, or sixinch guns; the Catalina, gun, west
ward OF the entrance. There is one mile OF water
battery Blanco battery has 4 light guns. One
ship could silence In an hour all the gunboats
while another ship engaged the forts.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8, 1873
There is reluctance In Official quarters to talk
about the anticipated or actual resignation Of
Minister Sickles pending the execution OF the
terms OF the protocol.
sICKLEs cENsURED.
There is no doubt 1t was owing to the unsatisfac-
tory conduct OF Mr.. Sickles that the negotiations
were consummated at Washington between Secre-
tary Fish and Admiral Polo.
AN AMBASSADOR DIssEcTBD.
General Sickles being retired oficer, with an
annual salary Of S5625, was at liberty to 60 where
he pleased, and In accepting the office OF Minister
TO Spain In May, 1869, he has drawn the annual
salary OF $4,000 for this service but nothing on
army account, as the law prohibits the drawing OF
more than one salary. On his retirement as
Minister he will draw mis- army pay.
THE vIRGINIUs TO BE GIVEN UP.
The Secretary OF the Navy says that he has re-
ceived nothing whatever confirming the report
that the surviving passengers and crew OF the
Virgfnius have been delivered on board the Ju.
niata
Apart from what the Secretary says, it was only
yesterday or to-day that the arrangement was tor
mally completed here for the contamination OF the
provisions Of the protocol.
The delivery is to be made within the next 10
daVs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1873.
An unexpected complication has arisen out
of the protocol agreed upon between Secre-
tary Fish and Admiral Polo, the Spanish Min
lister.
NICE QUESTION.
The latter, on behalf Of his government,
asks, Who shall be the judges of the proof that
the Virginius was not entitled to carry the
American flag, as stipulated in the protocol2

To this our government has made answer
that the United States is its own judge
APPEAL TO ARBITRATION.
The Madrid government responded
that the protocol left all doubtful
points to arbitration, SO far as reclamation
goes, and possession Of the vessel came under
that head The Spanish authorities now
claim that the United States can only protect
the vessel in defence of their own idea,
challenge investigation, and will satisfactorily
prove their point.
