A Herald dispatch from Key West
says the Wyoming arrived there last
evening. leaving Santiago Saturday at
noon with dispatches for the Admiral.
The interior Casinos are urging the
Casino Espaniola to resist the delivery
Of the prisoners. Consul Schmitt's life
is threatened and he has asked Admiral
Porter for man.of-war to be in Santi-
ago harbor for his protection. There is
much excitement Mt Santiago, and Wig
orous war preparations are going on;
5000 troops are in garrison; IA large
PARROT guns have been mounted on Moro
Castle. All old gunboats have heen dis
mantled and the guns placed on the
fort. All able bodied Spaniards and
Cuhsns have been drafted in as volun-
teers. War is expected. The Span
iards are delighted that foreign men-of-
war have been cheated by the removal
of the Virginius prisoners to Cienfue-
gas. iast
A Washington dispatch to the Tribune
gives the contents Of private dispatches
received from Havana. All the fortif-
cations in the harbor are being repaired
and strengthened. The work is being
done by coolies and convicts. The
Spanish men-ef-war are adding to their
armament, and volunteers are daily ar
irving in the city. The Virginius has
been fitted out as national gun-boat
under the command of a lieutenant of the
Tornado, who first boarded her. Volun-
teers openly say that when she leaves
every American in Cuba goes into the
air. Or the 4th Of December a council
Of war was held at the Governors pal

NEW YORK.

NEw YoRK, December IL. - The
memorial tablet. erected by the Loyal
Legion Of the United States. in memory
of their late Commander, Admiral Far
rigut, was unveiled last evening at the
Church Of the Incarnation, in the pres
ence Of large number of army eGeers
and friends Of the deceased.
Medical experts have pronounced
Meihella, the Jersey City murderer. per
fectly sane. Another appeal has been
made to the Governor in his behalf.
The Heralds special from Washington
says it is reported on very high author
ity that the Virginius has actually been
surrendered. and is now on her way to,
or about to leave for, United States
port. A private letter from Havana,
received by leading Cuban here, was
read last night at a meeting Of Los
Amigos De Cuba, which indicates that
the Havana volunteers will oppose any
such settlement as that contained in the
protocol agreed on at Washington. The
feelings Of the Spaniards are daily in
famed by articles in La Yos De Cuba
and La Cesstancis. The latter paper
calls on the Spsniards to fulfll the
oath Of 1868, not to regard anything com
ing from Spain, aud to obey only the
dictates u the Casino Espanola. 1t is
thought BY the writer that twenty or
thirty thousand American troops, with
the aid Of the Guiana, can easily take
possession Of the island. The financial
situation is lsmentable.

The St. Louis people are still endeav-
oring to build up a cotton market, and
claim considerable increase Of receipts
this season, so far, over the same period
last year. From September lst to last
Saturday night, 2S,747 bales had come
to hand, and it is claimed that the aggre-
gate Of the entire season will be fully
100000 bales. This is small begin
ming, it is true, as compared with the
cotton business of Memphis; but st.
Louis has capital, pluck and patience,
and in time may increase the trade. Our
Cotton Exchange, however, by establish
ing uniform grades and quotations, will
make this market second to none in the
South, and on the cotton question, we
believe, our merchants can defy any
rival market.

Our people complain Of hard times
scarcity Of money and lack Of employ
ment Many people are out Of bust
ness, and can find nothing TO do. Still
there is no wide spread suffering. Cot
ton continues TO come in, and the mar
ket is as easy as could be expected. The
winter bids fair to be mild, and we may
hope to get through without many fail
ures or great distress among the labor
ing classes. Our situation is not so
bad when We look at other places. Take
New York, for instance, the great money
center of the country, where the ex-
tremes of wealth and poverty can be
seen almost side by side. Forty thous-
aud men are said to be out Of employ
ment They propose to give two grand
demonstrations to-day. the llth instant,
one at noon and the other at night.
They will parade the streets in full pro-
cession, and the following are some Of
the startling inscriptions on their wag-
ons and banners: Labor goes to the
front, forward march" IAN salaries
shall be reduced no more $4,000
judgeships; no more 100000
sheriffs, 100000 and $4,000 clerks,
and $4,000 chamberlains. They
are too expensive Injuries. I'VE
mean business; politicians, take back
seats. The workingmen are to proceed
from Madison Square to call upon the
Mayor and Comptroller to represent
their condition and demand immediate
aid. At night there is to be a mass
meeting at Cooper Institute. The break
ing up of the Tammany Ring, while it
stopped the stealing then going on, was
not an entire reform, and the people |
feel it. Unfortunately the reformers de-
manded all the fat Offices merely as a
reward for unearthing corruptions, and |
after they got into these rich positions
they ceased to be reformers and had |
nothing more to say about cutting down
salaries and enforcing a rigid rule OF
economy. When the workingmen, out
Of employment and: out of bread. see
these successors Of Tsmmany growing
suddenly rich in Office and rolling in
luxury, it is no wonder that they are
with such a reform and rise
up to assert their manhood and crush
but the rings that would starve them and
heir children.

The United States Economist Of New

early day. The Lowell factories are
now nearly all working on full time, aud
the Fall River mills have considerably
increased sheir operations. All Of them
will be working on full time by the Isl
Of January. Reports from msnuiAe'
tpang centers in Maine, New hamp-
shire and Pennsylvania are oil favora'
