WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-Within fortnight from
the present time the crisis in the Spanish-Cuban
affair will have passed and the decision will bepro-
claimed whether we are to have war OF peace. The
interest on the part of Government officers and
private citizens here is not absted. but
continues to increase, while the diplomatic
representatives of foreign Governments are unus1-
ally watchful Of events. Correspondence by tele-
graph between the State Department and our repre-
sentatives abroad continues To cuInber the cables
and the navy is bending every effort to enhance its
strength and efficiency in the shortest time

cidedly waTlike "a viewed from Washington
Our Government bases It's case. not 50 much upon
the character of the Virginius, the objects of her
mission OF the character of her crew, as upon the
conduct of the Spanish authorities aftor the cap
ture of the vessel. The right of Spain TO seize
vessel on the highway Of nations which is bent on
a hostile mission in aid Of the enemies of Spain, is
not questioned by our Government. Spain
has the same right TO capture YES

eminent holds that the butchery of the officers aud
