THE FIRGINIUs A cable dispatch
announcing the satisfactory termination
of the indemnity negotiations with
Spain, growing out of the Virginius
affair, is the cause of much congratula-
ton in diplomatic and official circles.

a war which the stock-jobbing patriots
have been anxious to bring about.
Under this settlement, Spain is to pay
