1t is said that of the six passengers who
were arrested on the steamer City of New
York, at Havana, three were women, and one
a niece of Aldama. Extensive correspon-
dence was found secreted about their cloth
ing. By this correspondence many persons on
the island who had been hitherto unsuspected,
were implicated, and as the Moro Castle left
Havana they were being shot without mercy.
It was estimated that about forty patriots,
on various portions of the island, had met this
| fate.
Washington advices of the Goth say it
was evident that Cuban matters would
require much correspondence, and con-
sequent delay. It was asserted in prominent
quarters that no complications need be
feared, as the Administration sees its way
clearly, and while war will be averted the
probability is that Cuba will be free. The
| Secretary of State had received q dispatch
from Consul General Hall, at Havana, stating &
! that the Consulate at Santiago reports, under
date of the 18th, that the total number of exc
cutions Of persons from the Virginius was
fifty three, and that there had been no execu
tions since the 8th inst. The statements pub
lished there on the 18th, respecting fifty-seven
additional executions, prove to be untrue"

Goth, Captain Montingro, of the new Spanish
iron n-clad war-vessel, the Arapides, had re-
ceived orders from his home Government to

BILE, and proceed to Cuba. He expected his
vessel to be out of the dry-dock in twenty
days, when nothing will remain to be done ex-
cept to take her powder and armament.

A Jacksonville, Qll.) dispatch of the Goth re-
ports that some fend or fiends in human shape
had recently gone into the corn fields of four
farmers near Virden, named Coultar, Crane,

ears of corn, placed strychnine between the
husks and the grains. Several valuable steers
belonging to these men died of eating poisoned
corn before the vilainy was discovered.
A Washington Associated Press dispatch of
| the 21st says the State Department was making
earnest inquiry for information to be for
warded to General Sickles as to the legitimate
rights of the Virginius to all the privileges
and protection guaranteed to an American
vessel on the high seas. The subject had been
thoroughly investigated in the navigation di-
vision of the Treasury department, and there
was no reason to believe that any irregularity
existed in the registry papers of that vessel.
| The Government was without advices con-
frmatory of the reports that the social reia-
tions between our representative at Madrid
and the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs
had been interrupted. "The President, in con-
versng upon the subject of our relations with
| Spain, is free from anything like passion, his
manner being calm, but at the same time in
dicative of earnestness. He is evidently in ac-
| cord with the general sentiment of the coun-
try, but will do nothing that will, even by i'm
plication, place the United States in the wrong
before the world. While the United States
sympathizes with Spain in her efforts
to establish a republican form of gov
ernment, and will give all possible moral
support in that direction, this movement
| on her part will not serve in the least
| degree to restrain our Government from ex-
| acting the full measure of redress for the
| pending grievances, and protecting all inter-
ests covered by the national flag"
Up to the 2lst the Navy Department at
| Washington had received one hundred and
| fifty applications for service under the Gov
ernment, in case Of trouble, from eX-volunteer
officers of the navy, and applications were
constantly being received, the reply being that
they would be duly considered should occasion
| arise for such action.
A Cuban gentleman living and doing busi-
! ness in New York City, who arrived there
| from Cuba on the Goth, declares that the state
| ment that more than one hundred of the crew
of the Virginius were executed was true, as
he saw it so stated by Spanish official reports
| in Havana.

raj Land Office that no more than one quarter
section can be entered by one individual under
