WASHINGTON, November ID - Mid
mght.-The news received yesterday was
30 startling In character, not only from
the atrocity, but from the fact, that the
Cuban authorities were ordered by the
Madrid Government to stay further exc.
cutions, created at first, in official oir-
cles, doubts as to its truth, but these
have now been removed, and while the
credit OF good .aith is given to the Ma
drid Government. emphatic condemna-
ton Of the Cuban authorities for their
swift vengeance and disregard of the
commands Of the Home Government is
everywhere expressed. The Secretnry
OF State, yesterday, on tho receipt Of
the dispatch, announcing the Wholesale
execution at Santiago de Cuba, tele.
graphed to Consul General Hall ut Ha.
vana to Instruct the Vice-Consul at that
port, to inquire irto the matter, aud to
enter an earnest protest against the haste
the Spanish Government for delay, until
foil examination could be made into
all the facts attending the capture Of the
Virginius. Mr.. Hall replied, that the
Vice Consul had already protested in the
strongest terms against the proceedings,
but that hie action was seriously OBJ
structed by Spanish officials, all aven es
OF communication being closed against
him. The telegraph line between San
tiagc and Havana being interrupted, he
was prevented from telegraphing to
Kingston, In order to make inquiry re-
lative to the Virginius when she was
brought into port. There was nothing
left to him but the slow process of the
mails. and this mode of communication
was of no advantage under the circum-
stances. Immediately on receipt OF
Oonaul.G General Halls despatch, the
Secretary OF State instructed Minis
ter bickles to enter with the Spanish
Government, strong protest against
the proceedings at Santiago, character
izing them as an outrage on civilization
and humanity. and an insult to the
American Government. Gen. Sickles
has replied thai he had had an interview
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and acted in accordance with his in
struotions, and further, the Spanish
Government, duly impressed with
sense Of responsibility, had promised 10
act in such manner as would show it's
disappropation of the proceedings at
Santiago, and, at the same time, mani
lest friedship for this Government. The
above refers to the latest correspondence
on the subject.
