HAVANA, Nov. 25.-The Diaro De La
marina has an editorial to-day of which
the following in az extract The Wash
ington government knows to day, and the
United States Congress will soon know, the
Justice with which the Spanish authorities
have acted. They will take care of the ma
tional honor without suffering themselves
to be influenced by the cries of the masses,
! who know not what these Cuban patriots
are. Far from our minds would be the
| feeling of arrogance, but farther still the
| feeling of fear from our hearts. We neith-
er seek nor shun peril. If the Americans
oblige us to fight, we will. If the mother
country can aid uswe will thank her, but if
we must contend alone, there are enough
Spaniards in Cuba to keep her banner safe.
We will sell very dearly that which was
once the most brilliant flower of the crown
of CASTLE.
