NEW YORK.

NEw YoRK, November 2l.-The fol-
lowing is said to be the points Of per-
emptory demand presented by our Gov
eminent to the Spanish Cabinet;
l. The formal delivery Of the Virgin
Jus to the officers Of our Government IN
a port of the United States.
2. The release and restoration 10 our
protection the surviving capiives.
3. A money indemnity to the heirs OF
all taken on board the Yirginius aud put
to death.
4. The trial and punishment OF Gen
Burriel, and all other responsible officers.
8. Immediate and unconditional abo'
litiod of slavery in Cuba as source Of
all pending difficulties and complaints.
Spanish objections to this have bee n
sent forward by the American minister.
The public mind is exceedingly excited.
The spaniards blame the Americans for
the Cuban Instruction, and declare that
war with the United States would be
welcome. Americans here who know
the state Of the public mind and know
their own country, cannot see how war
can be avoided. Spain will conceds
nothing. and public opinion would pre-
vent concession on the part Of Castel-
lar if he were disposed to make any.
Extreme Republicans here faver our
views Of the case, but defiance and
stubborn interposition of any other view
than their own is the general tone. All
the Spanish iron-clads not in the hands
Of the intransigentes have been ordered
from the Mediterranean to Cuba.
The steamer City Of New York arrived
from Havana yesterday afternoon. From
statements of passengers it appears that
all the passengers arrested by the Span
ish authorities in Havana on her arrival
there on her last trip, were released
almost Immediately after arrest, except
Ricardo Lancis and express agent Bonn
balier, who we're sent 10 Jail on the
charge of being bearers of revolutionary
dispatches. Up to the time of the yes
sells sailing no sentence had been pro-
nouuced upon them, but it was not
thought their punishment would be very
severe. The state Of suspicion constant
in Havana had been Intensified by the
recent arrests, and men scarcely dared
speak above whisper of the insurrec-
ton. New York papers are suppressed
by the government, and they can only
be obtained with great difficulty.
The murderer, Sharkey, has not yet
been arrested. The President Of the
Commissioners of Charities has offered
a reward OF $1,000 for his body, dead or
alive, or for any information leading to
his arrest. The general impression is
that Sbarkey still remains in the city
Maggie Jordan, Mrs. Allen and Law
renee philips, one of the keepers in the
Tombs, are still held as aceomplices to
his escape.
Colonel Thomas A Scott arrived 10
the city yesterday on business connected
With bis various railroad schemes
1t was reported yesterday in Patter-
son. n. j., that the large silk manufnc-
turing firm of Meinerburg Pratt A. Co.
had failed, with liabilities to the amount
of one hundred thousand dollars and
only twenty thousand dollars assets.
John T. Irving, selfeonfessed accom-
plice in the Nathan murder, was yester'
day committed to the Tombs on the old
indictnent of burglary. He will be tried
at the general session. The resplt Of the
detectives investigation has not yet
transpired.
