GROWING ANXIOUS.
HAVANA, via KEY WEST, Fin, Nov. 15.-Groat
anxiety is manifested here to SEQ the comments
Of the American press upon tho capture Of tho
Virginius and tho shooting OF tho prisoners.
There is gonoral feeling that It is desirable to
have all tho prisoners executed az quickly a.
possible, boforo tho Government Of Spain Or
any other powor can got chance to intervene,
although somo Of tho botter-feoling portion Of
tho pooplo ioprocato unduo haste, and fear that
It may lead to serious results.
noafnAsTEa FunIoso.
Tho address, Of Gcn. Durriel is very bombastic
Describing tho chase and capture Of tho Virginl-
ue, ho Bays: Tho Tornado bolched forth flames
instead Of smoke, going at hor fullest
peed. sho finally came up with and capturod
ho Virginius, which Was taken possession Of
rith repeated cries OF 'Viva Espana l. from
tho Tornado'a valiant crew, and without
tue slightest resistance 163 mon doliy-
cred themselves quietly up. having cowardIy
thrown overheard, during tho chase, tho arms
which they ought mover to haye graspcd, and tho
military equipagc conflded to thom to defend
their ignoble cauee. This gooB to Hhow and to
confirm tho poverty Of our enonios, aud demon
atrates their impotence against tho arnioa Of
Spain, which Providence 1nanifest]y favora."
WHERE THE CAPTURE WAS MADE.
Tho secu'idad complains OF tho inexactness Of
tho press telegram which stated that tho Vir-
ginius was captured near Jamaica. According
to tho official statements, the virgipius was
eightoen miles from the coast Of Cuba. When
tho chase began she headed for Jamaica, dis
tanco Of about 100 milcs. Tho chaso
lasted eight hours, both steamers 60
ing at, full speed, and both boing fast
vcsselH. They must, therefore, haye boon very
ncar Jamaica when tho Virginius waA over
hauled, but. aa tho Captain, all tho narigators,
and the crow OF the Virgnius lnye been killed
tho spaniarda can put the distance at what they
please.
MAILS SEIZED,
Mails by tho steamor Frankfort from New Or
1eana, were solzed by the Government, and their
distribution has not yet boon permitted. The
steamer is Geru1nn Lloyd vessel, sailing from
Now Orleans to Havro aud Dromen, touching at
dayana, and is O. foreign Rteamor.
