In regard to the failure to execute
the DEGREES from Spain for the release
of American estates in Cuba, Secreta-
ry Fish has informed Admiral Polo.
Spanish Minister there, that Spain
must give assurances that these de-
crees are being obeyed by Thursday,
November II. Polo asked if the
United States would wait for an au-
swer until the Saturday following.
The Secretary said "No;" that the
President intended to have his mess
age prepared by Thanksgiving Day,
ready to submit to the Cabinet on
Friday, which is the day for the last
regular meeting before Congress as
sembles. Polo was further informed
that the President was anxious to be
able to say to Congress that Spain had
really acted in the matter, instead Of
merely promising, and that in case she
did not act, he should recommend
that the United States hereafter as
Isume the entire protection Of the lives
and property of her own citizens Ii

The VirctuIus Affair

and American papers, and containing
American citizens, and commanded
by an American Captain-Fry-sail-

diers and munitions of war for the
rebels in Cuba. Before she reached
the island, she was chased by Span

British waters. The officers and crew
were taken to Santiago, Cuba, and
nearly all shot. This outrage sent a
thrill of horror throughout the Unit
ed States. Indignation meetings
have been held in New York, st.
Louis, New Orleans and other large
cities, and-American like-passed
resolutions, urging the authorities to
swift vengeance on the heads of the
offending Spaniards. With blood
thirsty avidity, worthy of the Span
iards themselves, the cry is going up
from all parts of the country for
speedy retribution; and for the "re-
