The Virginius Affair.

1t is but natural in view ofrecent
events that the past deeds of Spain
should be recalled, and one does not
have to go very far back to bring
up one which at the time of its oc-
curence created profound sensation
and which, after diplomatic wrangle
of two years duration between the
United States and Spain, was finally
dropped and allowed to 90 unaveng-
ed. The affair was the execution
of 50 men of the Virginius,
ship that carried the United States
flag, and that was captured on the
high seas in October, 1878 by the
Tornado, a Spanish ship. 1t was
shown that the registry of the
Virginius was under the United
States and that she had a right to
unfurl the Stars and Stripes, vet she
was taken as a prize into the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba, and her men
were tried by a mock court, on
charge of piracy. They were SEN
fenced TO death, and were shot in
patches, the first batch con.
slsting of four passengers.
They were lined up against a wall
and shot. Three days later, twelve
more passengers were shot and on
the following day Captain Fry, who
was an American citizen, was placed
with his back to the dead wall at
the crew, and all were shot. After
the vOlley, Spanish soldiers finding
some still living among the jumbled
heaps Of dead thrust the muzzles of
guns into the mouths of the wound
ed and dying men and blew their
heads off. A British man-of-war
came into the harbOr at this time.
and her commander being appraised
OF what was going on, put a stop
and saved the lives of the remainder
of the people who belonged to the
NirginiUs.
The Secretary of State at that
time was Fish and he took action to |
bring Spain to book for the OUTRAGE
against the American flag. He was
aided by General Sickles, at Madrid
then minister to Spain. 1t looked
for a time as if the United States
would not only secure a heavy in
iemnity from Spain, but also make
good the Cuban declaration of in
dependence. The diplomatic cor
however, became pro-
racted as time went by, and in the
md, the United States let the mat
er, drop. Spain always regarded it,
ma probably justly so, as an
violence of weakness on part of the
j lted StateS-a lack of courage to
edress a wrong.
The Virginius affair, having been
ettled in this way cannot be brought /
