The War RumOrs.
CHICAGO, Dec. /.
A Washington special says adyices
received through naval sources set al
rest, apparently, the newest story
regarding the sudden activity in the
Navy Department. The e~xtraordin-
airy expenditures of Secretary Robson
during the past month have been OF
such q character aud so 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 ex-
Gust for the consideration OF Congress
exists for this immense outlay has
been generally conceded. Various ex-
plantations have been made, but no adj
-quate reason has yet been suggested.
Tho newest explanation Tor the activity
in the navy is a very plausible one At
first sight and related to carrying out
the protocol between Admiral Poloan
Secretary Fish, requiring the punish
ment of persons connected with the
massacre OF the officers and crew of
the Virginius. The protocol in ques
ton VAS signed November %, 1873.
aud provided that Spain should pro-
coed against the persons whO commit
ted them. before competent courts, and
infiict punishment on those who may
have offended. II has been claimed
that the Spanish Government, instead
Of carrying GU this A agreement, has al
lowed the officers TO escape and has
even promoted the principal offender,
Burriell, under whose oriers the crew
of the Virginius were executed. This
has beer the subject of correspondence
bet the two Governments. but the
subject has not reached "a point wher re
il VAS necessary for the Unified States
u a threatening attitude. II
can be stated upon the highest author
ity that the nonfultilnient on the part
of Spain OF the protocol relative to the
authors of the a,assacre has been the
determining cause of naval activity.
A communication received from Mac
rid at the State Department Yesterday,
states that the Spanish Cabinet has de-
ci,ied to carry out the protocol by pro-
ceeding to try Burriell and other
officers who murdered the Virgilius
prisoners.
