Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasuinaron, Dy 0., Nov, 18.—Tho Secrotary of War followed up the apparont aot of docision of tho Scoratary of the Navy in the Cuban mat- tors, by issuing an order to-dny to put Fort Jef- foreon, Florida, which Is proximate to Cubs, in N ropair nnd pgarrison it fully.

T WAR MEASURES IN TIME OF TEACE. .~ The .Congressmen newly arrived meom dis- posed to consure tho inordinato oxpense of the Togular srmy, which isnow costing £45,000,000 er annum, and which will pmbnbly\mznu- mated at 856,000,000 for the coming year, Thore His a disposition to out down army eXpenses and dncreaso tho navy, which the presont anuiul.\ trm‘xhl:u show to be our wenk point. A large ipart o dle noross the THE ARMY EXPENSES are attributed to jobbery in transportation in ‘the interosts of tho frontior lnnd grant to rail- roads, which havo had but little natural busincss, and have intriguod to put afoot such costly cx- en%ltnml a8 Btanloy's march across the Bad ands. Ono of tho last circulars of the Northorn Pacific Railrond mnde the point that the Govornment frolghta would bo in 1874 as ‘much as 8800,000.° At this figuro, the regular Army would appear to be n more able conven- lfenco for speculative railroads. Tho Toxas Pacific Railroad, nt tha timo of its calamity, was devising a military expedition nominally for the boenefit of its surveyors, but in part to add to its revenues by moving troops and stores.

It is, porhaps, the fault of the Cuban roprosoutatives in this country that thoy havo not taken the precaution to prove their right to rccognition, and that they are in & condition to comply with the roquirements of - intornational lnw. Whilo the Govornment be- lioves that four-fifths of tho natives on tho Island moy bo opposed to Spanish rule and in lsympathy with* tho ineurroction, it _fs unablo to perceive thut : the insurgonts have suce coodod in making suoh advancomont in the direction of gaining or maintaining power as to entitle thom to any condition beyond that which is accorded to any rebellious combina- tion. e cry for : A IECOONITION OF THEIR DELLIGERENT RIGHTS, is, thorofore, wild in the oxtremo, and © whilo it finds response under the oxisting excitomont from the people of ovory #oction of onr country, sud consequently carries great woight with ii, a proper regard for tho obligations of the nation to o power which {s {ul friondly, and probably will continue to bo riendly, domand that the . uimost caution shall “characterize -onch succossive swg.

' PURSUIT OF THE VINGINTUS, The Spanish vessel Tornado pursued the Vir- filul\m for cight bours. All accounts, both of- ificlal and unoflipial, agreo on this point. A cal- iculation of the speed of both vessels for this space of time shows if thoy had ‘been headed towards tho Island of Jomadca, and_ that if tha chago had been in the_diraction of British waters, the Virginiua would under any circmstance have ‘beon ablo to reach the proscribed lmit; in othor words, they would have renchad tho lino undorneath tho bluffs of the , island in- side of which they wonld { not have been amonmnble to eapturo; © but (the inference from the moagro_information at hand 18, that the chaso was in a direction pmrallel with £hoconst up to tho timo when the Tornado, having: repaired lher machinery, ohmnged her course, At this timo the Virginius changed hor ' comso nlso, nnd undoubt- edly attompted to remoh o poimt. of eafoty, . Whather shio succecded or not is o quos- tion yot to be solved:: The Spanish anngunce-, ment, a5 printed in the' oflicial gazotto atsMad- xid, distinctly asserts that she did not reack that point before the Tornado overhauled her; and adds most positively that . she. wag Bix miles from the dosst, Until this important chlunxtlun ig solved, tho' Govornment is manifostly at loes for a basis upon which to rest s complaint. Tho testimony regarding this point will necessarily be yague and, pothaps, un- satisfactory, a8 tho capturo wos msds at 10 o'clock at night, when it was impossiblo to matks a ronsonablo oatimato of distances, and wlien; as the moon was shining brightly, the diffieulty of: such an ostimate was doubted. Quostioneklea &riso rogarding TIE REGISTRY OF THE VIRGINUS, Up to this timo, the Bpanish authorities hava: raiged no point against the popular allegation that she was an American vessol. No oppor- tunity has been ufforded thom to do o, for the roason that tho quostion has not yot beon dis- cussed, and that no yimlnt inyolving the nation- ality of hor ownership has boon raised., Itis probablo that the Spanish sauthorities may havo tome information regarding this most imporhant feature of tho matter, and may be in readiness to develop it when tho omergency of the unse roquires thom to do so, Our Governmont stands roady to-dsy to mainiain that sho was &n American vosgel, and |, will do B0 most earnestly,- unless. proof in brought forward to show that eho had forfeit- ed hor rl%ht to ita protection by the terms of & valid sale to parties who have no elaim upgn tho United States. BECRETARY FISI'S INTERVENTION, . ' Immedintely upon the roceipt of the news of the firat exccutions, Secrotary YFish, in behalf of this Government, took action iniended to prevent additional butcheries ina dispateh the language of ‘which wasunmistakably forcible, and decided. Ha rotested ageinst tho executions as barbarious, Pn violation of the elvillzation of tho age, and as disgraceful. The repoated occasions for the inter- vention of our Govornment in similar instances {induced tho Socrotary to assumo a most positive !mmlon; and it is certaih that tho Span- sh outhorities at Madrid, to whom the dispatch was transmitted through Gon. Biokles, nocepted its teuor asan Indication of our impa- tiongo, a8 well as a detormination on our part to usoovery legitimato endoavor to put an end to the inhuman atrooitles of the Velunteors. Tho dispateh having been road to Senor Figueras, MINISTER SIOKLES BECEIVED ASBUNANOE that the Madrid Government would intorvene to vent furthor executions, and that the United tates noed not mako sny further domaud in the promises, as the Bpanlsh Governmont was ready to yleld without suck demand any reclamation that may be required by thousngos of clvillzation or the lawa of nations ombodied in treaty obliga~ ons. Our Governmont nccepted thoso promisos a8 tho uttorances of men who made them in ood faith, and with the honost intention to ful- 1 them to tho lotter, Tho orders wore lssued Immediatoly to bo tranemitted to the Captain- Goneral at Tlavana, who no doubt aitempted to carry thom out,but, in the meantimo, tha tole- fraph wires Lind besh cut or disconnooted be- ween Havano and Bantlago do Qubs, andit isnow spparent that Gov, Buriell, the Bpanish comman- @ant at tho Iattor plnco, will assort that on ao- count of this intorruption of communication he did not rocelve tho ordor to delay tho excoutions, Tho Amorican Vico-Consul at Bautfago de Uubs did evorything in his power to provont tho buicherios, Oficial . dispatohos from Congel - Gonoral ~ Hall st Haveus give him this credit; and unoflicial information has boon racoived suflloiently in detail to show ho oxorted overy resourco af his command to accom- lish tho object, It has beon learned ofticially fimt when ho attempted to communicato with his superior at Havana by tolegraph, TILE SPANISH AUTHOLITIES INTERFERED, As tho Govermment has full control of the telograph, tho Intorvoution was successful in prohibiting him from sending tho dispatches which ho had written, No doubt_exists regarding the authorily exor- cised by Gov, Burlell or his associutos aver the tolograph, as tho wires aro owned and oxolu- pively controlled as & monopoly by the Govern- ment. 'Tho wircs wero subsequontly out or dis« ; fore, apparont that the Government 18 virtually " serions complications with Bpain under any cir- counsected. While no proof oxists fo show that tho destrugtion of communication was otherwise than accidoutal, tho suspicion naturally arisos till they reach tho prescribod line, threo miles from the Cuban shoze, when, if it is proven that avossol is ongaged in violatlon of Bpanish- Iaw, sho may bo subjected to scizure, The in- surgonts, it may be romarked, iu this connoction already enjoy the benofit of belliger- ont rights fiom soveral South American Repub- lics, natural enemios of Bpain ; but, HAVING NO SEATORT, and bolug without . substautinl form of gov- ornment, their flag upon tho high seas must bo cousiderod, in the view of inter- national law, a8 the emblom of piracy. It doos not neceasarily follow that eithor the United Statea, Grent Britain, or any other power would troat their flag ns such an emblem, but. it does follow that Spain would bo entitled to trent it as such, and that sympathizing Governments wonld po powerlesa to intorfere. INTERVIEW WITH BEORETARY FISH, ' Areportor of tho Washington Republican was accordoed nearly threo bours in an iuterview, this ovening, witl: the Secrotary of State, who made the following statement, “which has besn tele: graphed to one Now York paper, and is sent to Tyo\u rendors. 'Tho Socrotary of State said: #Tho Govornment is without sufficient offleial information rognrdhlg tho rocent ocourrences on the Taland of Cuba to enablo it to act ot al defl- nitely, sud is in possossion of ro information be{uml that which has beon conveyed to the ‘public through the columns of the press. It has ot been satisfactorily explainod that the Vir- ginius was . Under i 3 TRE AoT OF 1868, - regulating the dutyof the President when his intorvention is required to protoct American citizens from toreign Governmonts, it is impos- siblo that the Administration can’ do anything moro than protest agaiust such action. The law provides most positively that protests of this kind, and uuhneauune action which may follow, shall be limited to uso of measures which shall not amount to an act of war. It is, there- crippled in its elforts. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT FEAR cumstances ; but in roply to numerous {nquiries zogarding-the resinlta of such ucm{fllufienu, -it may he said that in cado of notual war Spain would:find that vo aro as ready for hostilities aa oould o expectecl. Spain is not o party to tho | troaty of Paris, :nnd consequently wnult! be able to issue LETTENS Of' MATQUE TO PRIVATEERS, Bhe has but liti e commorco afloat, and wonld consequently risk compuratively nothing. No one can doubt thio result of war between tho two countries. Spain would succumb_assuredl with the loss of Cubas, Porto Rico, and tho Phii- ippine Islands ; but the cost to the Unitod tates would undoubtedly bo grenter than the gain; and the bonor of dofeating tho Spaniards would ot puy us: for thedifforence. ‘L'he intorview with.
