perty The authorities acted upon that knowledge
in enforcing with the utmost rigor the municipal
law governing such cases. l deplore most sin
cerely that the orders OF the Madrid government
did not arrive in time to stop the exc
cutions. Regarding the capture OF the
virginius am sorry to say that may
people In this country have the mistaken idea
that the same laws OF evidence apply to nations
in their dealings with one another as to crmi-
nal cases. statement OF a certain fact by
one friendly government to another ought
to be sufficient evidence. Diplomatic action
should not be hampered by the requirement
OF sworn aflidavts and other legal instruments
OF that nature. They are right and proper In
criminal cases. but seem like chicanery in interna
uonal dealings. The American government has
been repeatedly notified Of the character OF the
virginius. Why was she not brought back to the
United States and turned into bona Gde mer
chant vesselY
Are the present complications likely to lead to
correspondents.
Admiral Tolo said :-"I believe there win be no
war unless the senseless camor OF few should
prevail over the American government II you
drive the Spanish authorities from the
island, which cannot be done 30 easily as
some people here suppose, what government
would you substitute ? Americans who have hved
in Cuba know that the Cubans are incapable OF
selrgovernment. There remains, then, annexation
to the United States Well, If you must have the
island If that is what you call manifest destiny"
take 1t, II you can, but get stronger
case than that Of the yirg1nius as pretext
for aggression. do not think 1t would be generous
for this great Republic to take advantage OF the
difficulties of struggling sister Republic although
/ am of those who believe that war with a
foreign power would have the effect of uniting the
whole Spanish nation for the defence Of the national
territory.
Your correspondent then alluded to the reported
attempt to mob the American Minister at Madrid.
Admiral Polo answered:-'T am authorized to
contradict the whole report teegraphed regarding
General Sickles. having received telegram from
Madrid in the following words:-
Contradict reports OF hostile demonstrations
against the American Minister. General Sickles is
treated with sincere friendship and respect. Some
excesses IN the monarchical press have been i'm
mediately suppressed"

TO the continuance OF the Spanish Republic, is
looked upon as evidence OF the pacifc determine
tion OF their colleagues from New England Besides
which, those now here from that section have ex-
pressed similar opinions The controlling influence
for this course IS the belief that war would very
materially inlure the commercial interests OF the
Northeastern States.
SENATOR MITcHELLs VIEWS.
Senator Mitchell OF Oregon, said that as a new
member OF the Senate he hardly cared to have his
opinions published. He had, however, no hesita-
tion In characterizing the action OF the Spanish
colonial authorities as outside OF law and shame
to humanity The virginius at the worst was but
blockade runner and could not be classed as a
piratcal vessel; bur pirates were entitled to
q fair trial before execution In the whole civilized
world the worst OF criminals were accorded such
rights, but in this both leaders and crew were
brutally massacred without proper trial, for the
drumhead court martial which pretended TO SEN
tence them could not, In any sense OF the word be
deemed legal tribunal. First, the status OF the
vessel should have been established by q
civil court, and pending this no proceed
ings could legally be taken against those
captured aboard OF her. II she was not
liable to seizure the prisoners were not
properly in the hands OF the Spanish
authorities, and would have had TO be released.
Court could have proceeded against the prisoners
ana held them to a strict account for their acts
Whatever penalty had been thus innicted the
United States could not have complained Of All
the forms and requirements OF law would have
been complied with Spain would have upheld
her authority, ana the example would have had the
proper effect. 1t would have shown that white she
ready to act firmly and energetically in pun
fishing those who were proved to be assisting the
Cubans In revolt, nothing was to be done hastily
or against International law. What has made the
people Of the United States SO infurated is the
brutal ferocity and bloodtnirsness OF the
Spaniards. No chance was given the poor
victims to have q word said in their de-
fence. They were sentenced to death without
hearing. Not alone is the sanctity OF our nag
involved in this question: but humanity demands
that some steps should be taken which will effect
ually prevent the repetition OF such an outrage,
He had confidence that the administration would
be true to itself and the country in Its action, and
would be strongly sustained by Congress.
MR.. BLAINES OPINIONS
Congressman James G. Blaine, who expects to
be reelected Speaker, arrived here this morning,
but was not at home to the numerous callers who
visited his residence. He was asked by an inti-
mate friend If he had yet prepared the list OF COM
mittees OF the House, In anticipation OF his being
chosen Speaker, and replied emphatically that he
had not. MANY important interests have to be
consulted before he could determine how the conf
mittees should be organized.
