CHICAGO. Dec. l. - Washington
special says advices received through
naval sources set at rest apparently the
newest story regarding the sudden ac-
tivity in the Navy Department, The OK
traordinary expenditures OF Secretary
Robson during the past month
bave been of such character and 80
continuous that even the officers
OF the Treasury, through whose
hands the money has passed. have been
amazed and startled. That some good
reason or plausible excuse for the con.
sideration of Congress exists for this
immense outlay has been generally con-
ceded. Various explanations have been
made. but no adequate reason has yet
been suggested. The newest explana-
ton for the activity in the Navy is q very
plausible one at first sight, and relates
to carrying out the protocol between Ad.
miral Pole and Secretary Fish requiring
the punishment of persons connected
with the officers and crew OF the Vir
ginus. The protocol in question wat
signed November 29th. 1873, and pro
vided that Spain should proceed agains
the persons who committed them befor,
competent court, and infict punish
ment on those who may have offended
II has been claimed that the Spanish
Government, instead OF carrying GU
this agreement. has allowed the officer
to escape, and has even promoted tn
principal offender, General Barriell, un
der whose orders the crew of the Viz
Rinus were executed. This has been th
subject of correspondence between tn
two governments, but the subject has NO
reached point where it was necessar,
for the United States to assume threat
ening attitude. 1t can be stated upo
the highest authority. that the non-ful
fllment on the part OF Spain Of the pro
tocol relative to the authors Of the maj
, sacre, has been the determining cause {
naval activity. A communication re
ceived from Madrid at the State Depar
| ment yesterday states that the SPANS
? Cabinet has decided to carry ont the pr,
t tocol by proceeding to try Burriell ON
= other officers who murdered the Virgin,
