A Peaceful settlement of the Cuban
Question.
New YORK, Nov.

New YORK. Nov. %.
The negotiations between the United
States and Spain with regard to the
questions growing out of the capture OF
the Virginius, were brought to a c,nclu-
sion to-day; Secretary Fish and Admiral
Polo having agreed upon and signed
protocol, which the latter soon after tele-
graphed to his Government. AS con-
f1icting statements have appeared i'll the
newspapers regarding the intelligence
received last night, and ais" to day, It
can now be positively stated that the
terms are substantially as follows:
/. The Immediate delivery to the si;ai-
ted States of the ship Virginins and b.
the surviving passengers anu crew.
2. A salute to our Hay on The 18th OF
December next. unless. in the meantime,
Spain shall satisfy the United States that
the American Tag was improperly borne
on that vessel and further, that she had
no right to the American flag or Ameri-
can papers; in this event, the salute is to
is to formally disclaim any Intentional
indicnity to the flag in the acts commit
ted by Spain against the Virginius
3. II it shall thus be shown the Nir-
zinius had no right to carry thu Arneri-
can flag and papers, the United States
will institute proceedings against the
vessel and the surviving parties. who
have violated the laws of the United
States, and Spain guarantt es to institute
proceedings against any Of her authors
ties who may have violated either law or
treaty stipulations.
4. The matter of reclamation for dam
ages is reserved for future consideration.
In addition to the above, it can also be
positively stated that within the next two
days, Secretary Fish and the Spanish
Minister will determine the port at which
the Virginius and the surviving passen-
gers and crews shall he delivered t. the
United States. The words "immc late
release" "a applicable To the delivery oi
the Virginius and the surviving pas 'en
gers and crew, implies, oEcourse. re;i-
sonable time for its execution. Us some
days must elapse before Havana and Sam
tiago de Cuba can be reached.
The agreement is regarded in official
quarters rs covering all tho points OF our
original demand, though il. a modified
form; which is considered respectful and
honorable to both countries. The fixing
of the 18th of December as the time for
saluting our flag is to allow the necesSa-
ry opportunity to Spain to show the Vir-
ginius improperly carried the american
flag and American papers. There IS
sensible relief i'll all quarters that the
negotiation has thus peaceably ended.
Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo
had for two weeks past been engaged iii
producing this result, on which they re-
ceive the congratulations of their respec-
tive friends.

The Cuban Embroglio.

New YORK, November 30.-The own
ers of the steamship line to Havana pro-
test against their detention several hours
here on the days of sailing by the Span
ish Consul, who exercises system of es-
pionage over the vessels.
WASHINGTON, November 30-All ex-
citementconcerning the Virginius has sub
sided, though there are many speculations
as to the probabilities of the CASTELAR, Gov
ernment being unable to enforce its orders
accepting the ultimatum of this Govern
ment. .
sage of the President will be sent in to-
morrow or on Tuesday
New YORK, November 30.-At meet
ing of the Cuban Junta, last evening, the
belief was expressed that in Cuba Caste
lars orders would be disregarded by the
officials in power. In the event Of Cover
nor Burriel refusing to comply with the
instructions of the home government, pre-
parations will be commenced by the Gu
bans to put the island in the best possible
STATE of defense. A member of Los Ami
COS de Cuba, who came from Santiago de
Cuba. by the City of Merida, attended
the meeting, and he states that when he
left Havana the volunteers were strength
ening the fortifcations. Four hundred
additional guns, it was reported, had been
mounted in Moro Castle.
New YORK, November 30-A Paris
dispatch says Spain has made the conces-
sion, and Sickles has been ordered to sus
pend his preparations for withdrawing the
Legation from Madrid. CASTELAR, only en-
barrassed for fear of popular reaction
against the concessions. General Sickles
will probably resign soon, fearing that the
settlement is insincere.
HAVANA, November 30.-The news of
the settlement of the Virglnus question
between Spain and the United States, the
terms upon which it is based, was received
here with much excitement, but perfect
order prevails among the people and the
volunteers. The chief authorities of the
Island, assembled in conference, have sent
manifesto to the Spanish Government
asking it to wait till it shall have received
the protocol about the Virginus case, which
shows the right OF the capture and the
justice of the subsequent proceedings. The
mass of the people oppose the surrender
of the Virginius or any yielding to pre-
tentions which may dishonor the Spanish
flag. The tone of the press is in accord
with the popular feeling. Extraordinary
means and resources are being created to
resist an aggressive act, although thinking
people do not expect any, knowing the
prudence of the American Government.
New YORK, December 1.-Me La
Gtomista is confident that Spanish Cubans,
who disregard Castelar's orders are not
such cravens as to surrender the Virginus. |

THE YANKEE Observation-Disclosures
as the conduct of Burriel was, it was not
more outrageous than that OF certain
Federal officials who commanded in Ken
tucky during the late war There were
almost as many murders committed in
West Kentucky by Payne's men as Bur-
riel committed at Santiago. There was
less warrant Of law for the former than
there was for the latter. They were
equally as brutal and inhuman. We do
not wish to revive those CORY memories
but if the parallel were run out in detail
it would DC seen that Burriel has more
law and more justice to sustain his course.

An Eminent Edgefield Agriculturalist
and the s. Intensive ssstem."

A representative agricultural man in
Edgefeld County is James l.. Mathis,
ESQ.,, of the Pine House section. And
despite his long. eminent, and ever-in-
creasing success in cotton planting in the
sand country, henow quits it, and retlres
to the clay lands of Saluda. On sale-day
in November Mr.. Mathis bought the ia
nous Canebrake" place, and will, we
understand, soon remove thither. This
is somewhat startling move, and one
calculated to set people to thinking. May
it not be the beginning of tide OF home
emigration to the clay lands, and the
inauguration of what the scientific and
progressive agriculturalists Of the day
call "the intensive system?" The "in-
tensive SYSTEM" by which they mean
concentrating labor and manure upon
four or five acres and making those four
or Ave produce more than did ten accord
ing to the old plan. Upon the broad
acres of the "Canebrake'' he will proba-
bly, introduce thousands and thousands
of cattle-sheep and kine-and upon GER.
tain patches or small fields manured by
these, and by these alone, he will proba-
bly, make as much cotton as upon three
times the area where he now Is. And
yet call the cotton "side crop" grain
and cattle being still larger and surer
sources of wealth!
Mr.. Mathis, whose moves AZ an agri-
cultural man, are worthy OF note, quits
his splendid plantation below, and goes
to the clay soil and grazing country of
Saluda. We have not had syllable of
conversation with him on the subject,
nor have we heard his views, but we ask
the question: Does he not discern with
far-seeing eye that, us matters now stand
in our country, exclusive cotton planting
is no longer q wise system?
And far be it from US to bring into
publicity the movements of SO esteemed
fellow-citizen as Mr.. Mathis, except for
he purpose of setting our agricultural
friends to pondering upon tho much
mooted question as to the wisdom of ex-
elusive cottOn-planting.

A PAINFUL AccIDENT.-We regret to
learn that Mr.. Ansel Miller, son Of Jona-
than NJ. Miller, Esq, of Beech Island,
met with very painful accident. last
evening. He was Attending to a hand
press for cotton, when, by some fatality,
the lever sprang back and smotc him in
the face with prodigious force. The blow
given was, we understand, very serious
one indeed. Young Mr.. Miller is one Of
the most industrious and enterprisiag men
in the South, and we sympathize deeply
with him and his parents, at this sudden
and unfortunate catastrophe. We trust
that his wound will prove to be less grew
ous than the first accounts would seem TO
warrant.-C Constitutionalist, 9th.
