The agreement is regarded in official
quarters as covering all points Of our
original demands, though in modified
form, while it Is considered respectful and
honorable to both countries. The fixing
Of the 25th Of December as the time OF
saluting our flag Is to allow necessary op.
portunity to Spain to show that the Vir-

American papers. There ia sensible re!

has thus peacefully ended. Both Secre-
tary Fish and Admiral Polo have for Two
weeks past been engaged in producing

HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN HAVANA
HAVANA, Nov. 80.--The news OF the
settlement Of the Virginius question be-
tween Spain and the United States and
the terms upon which 1t 10 based was re-
ceived here to-day. There is much ex-
citement, but perfect order prevails among
the people and volunteers. The chiet
authorities OF the island are assembled In
conference. They have sent manifesto
to the Spanish government asking 1t 10
wait until 1t shall receive the protocol
about the virginius case, which shows the
right of the capture and the. justice Of the
proceedings. The macs Of the
people oppose the surrender Of the Vir-
gfnius or any yielding to pretensions
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
any aggressive act, although the thinking
people do not expect It, knowing the pru-
dence Of the island government.
