the Thunderer SpealGs.

Tho Thunderer speals.
I LONDON, Nov. "a, s A. M.-The Times
says n demand for the surrender of
the Nirginius could not, with Justice,
be maintained, but that other demands
reported to have been made on Spain
by the United States are such as Eng
land might well join in.
Great Demand for Cartridge.
BosroN, 25.--The Z. s. Cartridge
Company will commence this week to
run their works day and night. They
have pressing orders for several million
cartridges from the War and Navy De-
partments.
Reported Demands upon Spain.
CHICAGO, Nov. ga Washington
special. referring to the latest dispatches
from Spain, says it is authoritively
stated that the demands of the Govern
ment are as follows: That the T0yinius
must be surrendered; that surviving
members of the passengers and crew
must be restored; that tho United States
must be saluted in the port where it has
been outraged; that suitable indemnity
must be made to families of American
citizens massacred
CHICAGO, Nov. 26-Mr. Jennings, ed
itor of the n. Y. Times, after an inter-
view last evening with the President
and Secretary Fish, telegraphed the fol-
lowing editorial, and commencing on
tbs demands, he says: 1--WE have not
the slightest doubt that when the Off
cial papers are published it will he seen
that the Government has asked for u
reparation of this kind with great de-
cision, and not without due courtesy
and consideration for the struggling
republic in Spain. If Senior Castelar,
asked for reasonable time in order that
the Government might acquaint itself
with all the facts in the case, could we
refuse it ? No doubt an intimation has
been made from the other side to the
effect that the the dispute might be re.
ferred to an arbitation; but there are
some things which are not adapted to
this mode of settlement. Among them
is the gross manifest indignity to one
great power by another. 1t is not
therefore supposed for n moment that
proposals for arbitration, at least SO far
as regards its principal claims for re,
dress If Spain asked for time, it was
impossible to refuse; but, of course, to
n reasonable time it must be fixed. 1t
would never do to allow n controversy
of this nature to be protracted over an
indefinite period Such limit we have
no doubt was actually fixed. If we arc
not mistaken it expires on the 2ith inst.
cannot decide on doing justice to our
Government, the Uuited States Minis
ter there will close his legation. This,
of course. would not shut the door upon
all negotiations, but unquestionahly it
would be n startling event. The lW-
ginius should have been condemned, if
condemned, at all. only before a legal
tribunal. Spain has clearly violated
the treaty of 1875, and such a breach OF
faith could not be allowed to pass unchal-
lcnged. 1t seems very probable that the
independence of Cuba will be the result
of the difficulty, although we still hope
it will be accomplished without war be-
tween the United States and Cuba.
