Special Dtspatch to The Chicago Tribune.
WARRINGTON, D. O., Nov. 12.-Tho State De-
partmont to-day receiving confirmation Of tho
Wholesale shooting Of the people on the Vir-
ginius, got a setback, and prepared for q more
public outory by taking position half d point
nhead. It was Immediately resolved to inorease
the fleet In tho Spanish waters and keep 1t on
hand. Mr. fish vent far rs to drop the remark
tint tho Spanish Government would probably
bogratihoa il the United States took the business
in hand Of ohastising tho Volunteers, whom he
denounced a. disloynl to their Government, and
aa much in state Of rovolt against the home
authositios a. the insurgont Cubans wero dis
loyal to the Captain-Genernl.
FROM WHAT HAS 1;EAKED OUT
Of Tuesdays Cabinet meeting, it ia evident that
Gon. siclslos hns worked nimsclf into the full
management Of the Spanish question, be-
.ng responsible for the Iberian Republic, and
having arranged to conduct at Madrid
al tho diplomacy which might arise. Mr. Fish
holds that sick1es understands tho popular feol-
ing Of American sympathy for Cuba, and shares
in 1t, and will eventually obtain IN approximate
realization Of our wishes, not perhaps by max
ing Cuba frce, bat by giving hor native popula-
tion representation and probably Oapta1n-
General who will neutralizo the yicioua Volun-
teors with loyal Cuban militia. If this is im-
practicable, slcklos' diplomacy may be effective
in negotiating araongat the corrupt leaders OF
Spanish politics conccsalon for the Cubans to
PURCHASE THEIR INDEPENDENCE
from 6pain, tho United Btatoa guaranteeing the
money, and procuring 1t from Cuba BY tronty
with tho, insur0ent Chiofs. Gen. Tarbort, 1ato
Consul-deneral at Havana, pressed the it,
dependence Of Cuba upon The Administration
yheu he came homo last summer. He assorted
tho impossiblity Of suppressing tho revolt, and
Expressed the belief thnt tho
SPANISH ELEMENT WOULD Et11dHATE
rather than submit to be ruled by Cuban ma
iority. Ho showed that tho RESOURCES
Of Cuba wore unimpaired, and TINT the
island could pay for itsclf ut the
highest valuation within few years, and tha
native plantors get more income than undor
spaniBh official extortion. Torbort was unwill-
ing to ro1nain longer tho island, with his ayor
sion to Spanish authority.
If TUE QUESTION OF HUMANITY
alone WAS to bs now considered, tho United
States could probably offset tue naval buperiort-
ty Of spsin by making joint Intervention with
England, and this policy has also been
pressed on the State Department as In the
line Of the present good understanding betweon
the two EngliHh-spcaking powers. Here.
however. comes in the embarrassment Of Mr.
8icklea' protoge, tho Spanish Republic, which
has no more weight with tho English Govorn-
mont. The approximations Of the English COM
mercial cleasoB are also alive to tho
DESTINY or oubA
when Spain may be forced to surrender ho1
colonies lying under tho influence Of
tue United States. British Investments
in the Spanish loan have their homo
efroct az thoy are to certain oxteut secured
by the revenues Of Cuba. Tho popular feeling
In England has been cultivated oven moro than
In America in favor Of Cuba, by 6ouor Mhrciaa
and Other highly Intelligent writer's and mon OF
soclety.
CONVERSATIONS WITH Nh. FISH,
and dripptngs from Tuesdays Cabinet meetlng'
clearly show that We hn1o no policy, large
or small, in the prcmiaes,. ind that Mr'
Fish fully comprahenda oil tho above
possibilities, but is undor sou,o mysterious in-
