NEW YORK, Nov. 12.--Orders have
been received at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard to get sloops .of-war Kearsage and
Junita ready for sea at once. At noon
to-day, under equally pressing orders,
the torpedo boat. Admiral Porter, was
launched, and will be made ready for &C.
tive service in a few days. All officers
about the yard are greatly excited over
news from Havana. ..
The principal topic OF discussion to-day
at places where merchants gather was
the slaughter of the captain and crew
OF the Nirginius, and the feeling of indig-
nation was universal, all declaring that
the killing Of the crew was unjustifable,
and demanded prompt action on the
part of the United States Government.
The feeling OF our citizens was raised to
fever heat by the execution of the four
leaders, but it will now rise to boiling
pitch. Cuba and her friends will here
after receive neither money nor men.
WASHINGTON, Nov 12-The Mahapac
and Manhattan have been ordered to be

are already assigned. They will join

found somewhat difficult to promptly re-
inforce our squadrons in cases of emer-
gency, but in tho course of few days all
that can be made available will be sent
to Cuban waters in accordance with the
determination of the Cabinet meeting
yesterday. 1t is stated that the Presi-
dent and all his Cabinet fully agree that
the Madrid Government, being unable to
enforce its authority in Cuba, that of the
United States will be compelled to as
sert its powers in all cases where the in
terest of citizens of this country and its
own homer require decisive action. ...
