The cuban War.

Cabinet On the arrival Of the, newsof
the capture of ,he Airnnius, President
CASTELAR,, at the United States Legation,
expressed regret and ordered SUSPENSION
of the sentence When Secretary FISH
telegraphed the news of the execution,
Gen. Sickles sent note, at 2: o'clock in the NJ,
morning, demanding q stay OF proceed
ings, The Foreign Secretary answered,
questioning the accuracy OF the.lntorln1a-. .
tlon, and Intimatcd that Sicklcs' aGtleh
was not authorized Therrupon SleSlosr
in the name of the United States, address
Ell formal protest against the lnhuman
butcheries and insult to the United States |;
and again demanded that Spain should
enforce obedience to orders IN CUBA ana
insisted on the rights of Americans to triai
under the treaty of 1896. He complained
that the American Consulate ut Santiago,
was prevented using the telegraph q to
Washington. The Spanish Secretary an IN
| sweyed that the matter was wholly mu-
n;ciual affair between Spain and the ilr-
| ginus pirates, Spain could not tolerate
any interference. Theinteryiew ended by
Gen. Sicklcs demanding thst Spain should
enforce the order Of the Cabinet to Cuba
for suspensions Of executions The Span
ish Minister OF Foreign Affairs hauyghtlly
declined to permit Gen. Sickles to discuss
the municipal affairs of Cuba: Tie IN
tervew terminated angrily, Sickles saying
he would hold no more personal only oth-
cial relations with the Minister. Public
feeling ruins high. The Spaniards blame
| United States for Cuban insurrection. and
say they will welcome war. Minister
Sickles does not see how war can be avoid
ed as Spain will concede nothing and
public opinion will prevent President
CASTELAR, from making any concessions. He
SAYS there's no use in the United States
trifing any more on the subject. Spanish
| stubbornness making concessions inipossi-
BILE. The extreme Republicans favor the
| views of the United States in the affair.
New YORK, November 2l.-The Off
cers Of the City of New York give the
names of the passengers seized Mrs. Dom
itola de Monte, willow and her child
| Rycardso Sancis and his entire family
| consisting of his wife and three children
and Donna Catalena Pares, Nothing sus-
picious was found in the clothing Of the
women or children. All were discharged
except Sancis. Over two hundred per.
sons were implicated by captured cores
pondence No executions when the New
York left.
WAsH1NeroN, November2l.-Dispstche:
received by the Secretary of State are con-
6rmatory in part of the special kilograms
from Madrid, in regard to the demonstra.
tions against Minister Sickles, thoug gh the
Secretary is Of the opinion that the ape.
cials are somewhat exaggerated. The mol
which collected in front Of the American
Legation was promptly dispersed by the
Government, and there is no doubt here
in offic. al circles but that the authorities al
Madrid are fully capable of preventing
any outbreak. The position Of Minister
Sickles is very uncomfortable, but it is moi
believed that any violence will be offered
as Mrs. Sickles telegraphs that the Span
lsh officials are equal to the emergency
Minister Sickles is hourly in communica
ton with the State Department, and hi:
dispatches indicate the existence of very
8 rong feeling against the United States
WAsHINaToN, November 2l.-The city
is excited over probabilities of 8 war with
Spain. Rumors of all kinds are circula
ting, adding to the interest Of the situa.
ton. These, however, found no official
confirmation beyond the news telegraphec
at noon.
The State Department is investigating
the real status of the Virglnius. The
Treasury Department, navigation division
| finds no reason to believe that any irregu
larity exists in the Virginius registry pa
pers. This fact was communicated to the
Secretary of State by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and received the attention o.
the Cabinet to-day. Copies OF all papers
were submitted.
| The session of the Cabinet opened ear
lier than usual, and continued until 4
o'clock-all the Secretaries present. II
was. the largest session during Grants ad-
ministration.' Subsequently Fish and
Robeson had conference. The whole
time of the session was occupied with the
Virginius matter and attending complica-
tions. Members are dumb regarding de.
tails of proposed action. The feeling
which urged the attack upon the American
Legation was characterized as brutal and
unreasonable. II really seemed that nc
reasonable ministry could stand at Mad.
rid.
There's increased naval activity. A
naval recruiting Office ordered to be opened
at New Orleans.
1t is still unlikely that other than pre-
cautionary measures will be taken nntl
Congress acts. While the President seems
| to be in accord with the indignant feel
ings of the people. he will do nothing tc
place the country in false position before
the world. A leading Senator, who had q
conversation with the President to-day
has no doubt that when Congress meets
the public will be satisfied that prudence,
combined with due regard to our ma
tional honor, has been observed by the
Executive Department of the Government.
From the correspondence OF Ell Non1stG,
it appears that after the British Vice Con-
sui found his efforts to secure postpone
ment of the shooting of persons claiming
British citizenship were vain, the British
Commodore at Jamaica took the matter
in hand and telegraphed the following to
the Governor of Santiago de Cuba " In
the interests of the friendly relations be-
tween our respective Governments, beg
you to delay the execution OF alleged Brit
ish subjects until the captain OF the Nlobe
can communicate with you" Burrlel re-
piled, Il do not possess the authority to
i.ccede to the petition you send me: The
law must be fulflled-consequently the
men claiming British citizenship will be
executed"
WAsHINaroy, November 23.-Admiral
Polo has communicated the following from
his Government 10 the State Department
The Spanish Government contradicts the
report of any hostile demonstration against
the American Minister, and says that
Gen. Sickles is treated with consideration
AM respect; that some intemperance OF
language Of the Monarchial press was
promptly silenced by the threats OF lmme-
date punishment, and that the Minister
of the Colonies reports from Havana that
the restoration of embargoed property to
American citizens is being dillis gently pro-
ceeded with.
MADRID, Nov! 24.-President CASTELAR,
