Tho CEICAGO | TRIBUNE will give a large share of its attontion to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party orgeniza- tions are essentinlly corrupt and fraudulent. Having no loAger any principles to carry into effect, they have becomo mere business eatar- prises, making a show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in the proceeds of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any henlthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariil’ systom now in vogue is & cunning device to rob the P many for the benefit of the few, and that its effect is to cause farm pro- ducts to oxchange for about one-half the quantity of foreign or * pro- tected” goods they would otherwise ginius Executions Ex- aggerated.

Thore{s eorious misundoratanding botween Ministor Sicklos and tho Spnnish Cabinot. On tho arrival of the ‘nows of tho capturo of tho Virginius, Presldent Castelar called atb the Unitod States Logation, and oxprossed rogrot, aud orderod a euspension of the sentonco. When Socrotary Fish tolographed the news of the excoutions, Gen, Bickles sont a note, at 2 o'olack in the momiug, demanding & ntay, The TForeign Socrotary answerod, questioning the ao- euracy of tho information, and intimating that GEN, SIOKLES' ACTION WAS NOT AUTHORIZED. Thereupon Gen. Sickles, in the namo of the TUnited Btatos, saddressed a formml pro- tost sgainst {ho iubuman . butchorios and’ insult to the United States g, and domanded that Spain should enforoe obedienco to ordors in Qubs, and insisted on the right of Americanu to trinl undor tho Troaty of 1796, . 1Te complained that the American Consul at Bantingo . was provented from using .tho tolegraph to Washington, Tho Spanish Bocrotary apswored that tho matter was wholly & municipsl affalr betweon Spain and tha Virginius pirates. Spaln could not tolorate Amorican interferonce. The interview ended by Gon.Sickles domanding that 8pain should enforce tho ordor of the Cabinet to Ouba for the susponsions of the oxccutions. - The Spanish Minster of Toroign Afairs having declined to pormit Gon, Bickles to disouss the municipal affairs of Cuba, tho interviow tor- minatod angrily, Gon. Sickles snying he would hold no moro personal, only oficial, relatlons with the Aimater. 5 PUBLIC FEELING BUNS HIGH, The Bpaniards blame tho United Statos for the Guban Insurreotion, and say thoy will WELCOME WAR. Ministor Sickles says ho does not sea how ‘war can bo avoided, a8 Spain will concedo noth- ing, and public opmion will prevent Presidont Castelar from making any concossions. Thora i8 no uso in tho United Statoa trifling any more on tho snbject, with Spanish stubbornness, Tho making of concossions is imposaible. Tho ex- treme Republicans fovor the views of the United Btatos in the affair, Maprm, Nov. 1,—B8enor Poltain, lato Captain- Goneral of Cuba, hns arrived in tbis city, and b sinco boen in closeconforenco with President Qustelor: Tho report that Seuor Salor, the Colonial Ministor, who was sent ona special Taigsion to Cubs, has beon summoned to return immediately Lo Spain, is contradicted. THE BPANIBH PRESS. The Imparcial asserts that the Virginius was openly eanipped in the port of New York. The | Boanish press goncrally praiso President Grant's ‘moderation in rosorving for Congress tho aottle- mont of thoquestions which have arisen botween thio United States and Spai; ——a CUBAN NEWS. Special Disputeh to The Chicago Tribune, THE MORRO OASTLE STORY DISCREDITED. ‘WasmiNaToy, D. C., Nov.20.—Tho nows by tho steamship Morro Castle of supposititious exc- cutions of hor pagsengors in llavana ig incrod- ulously recoived. Tho spirlt which would bave inspired tho oxcoutions would, it is thonght, havo slso mado tho Spanish Voluntoers cablo tho fact to tho United States. It is not uncommon —indecd, it is & regular matter—for- the polico suthorities at Havana to put passongers for the United States under espionage, and evon arrost, Tho wholesale character of those latter reported _arrests loads, howavor, to some indignation. A SYSTED OF ESPIONAGE. 1t is true thut the Spanish Consul ot Now Yorlk, and thoso spies employed by tho Volunteers for oxtra official sorvice, have the ireo uso of the cable, whilo dispatchos from Havana for the Unitod Btatos aro subject to constant consorsbip and rojection. The rogular dispatchos from Havans to the American press have been charged for threo years past to bo In tho Spanish in- terost; and Gon. Torbet, our late Consul- Gonoral, mndo written complaint, somotimo ago, that tho interosts of impartiality wero not con- sulted, but that, on tho contrary, there was in ‘many oases, if not in all, & _disposition shown by the agont in Havana to diminish the succosses of tho Insurgonts, and exaggerato tho victaries of the Spanish troops. . AMERIOAN PAGSENGERS who give offenso are scarcely safo in the harbor of Huvans, evon aftor tholr passports aro cleared, and thoy roach the dock of the packet which flies our flag. A long privilege of haragsing Amerlcans who visit Havana Ling confirmod the polico asuthorities in the belief that no chastisement is possible, In ony momentary frenzy which moy soizo tho Voluntoor population, such as that which prob- sbly ensued upon the capturo of the Tornado, tho lifo of an obnoxious or suspocted ;strangor would be in jeopardy, and the Voluutodrs, from their gonoral ignoranco and violent temporament, aro subject to sudden EPIDEAICS OF BLOODTHIRSTINESS, which tho enfeobled Captain-General have sol- dom successfully resisted. Horein, as our exec- utive suthoritics ackuowlodgo, lios the groatost probability of war, The tone of the Volunteers rmay lead at any moment to some outrage ‘upon our Consuls, or helpless visitors, which will arause & popular and ofiicial passion in America, not to be put off by any dolays of diplomacy. THE LATE MASSAORE NOT THE ONLY ISSUE. Tho situation may be considered alarming, % oll poinis, If the mussaore of the eraw of the Virginius was the only quostion of the bour, it might be staved off by & docont consid- eration for tho partial vesponsibility of tho homo Govornment at Madrid, which haa a right to loarn tho faots nmclnllx ‘boforo it entors u%nn & courte of apology and roparation, But Cubs, at this time of the year, is the resort of many Amoricans, who ocoupy promiuent social and political positions fn our country. PASSENGERS OF TUE MORKO OASTLE, It is undorstood that amongst the passengers on the outward bound trip of the Morro Castla wae John B, Alley and family, Mr. Alleyis o & woalthy man, formerly s member of Congross from Massachusetts, whoso prominencein tha Credit Mobilier inventigation filvu him o nation- al notoriaty, ‘The willfal and bloody disposition of tho Bpanish in Havana is thought to bo oapa- bloof any inhuman outbroal, oven agalust the persous of our lending citizens. BTATUS OF THE VIRGINIUS. g In Washington Qily tho debate ovor the Vir- gining appears Lo be” suspouded for tha prosout, while meantime her status as an American vos- gol 18 undorgolng investigation. A prominent aficcr of thio Lronsury, who hns been looking futo the matter, says to-day that tho presump- tion that sho hind forfeited her right to be con- sldared su Amoricau #hip was promoturo, aud would prova in the end to ho % quibble. Bohind tha caso of the Virginius is 'TIE OLDER QUEBTIOR of American ogtates embargood in Ouba, - for which a dato of settlement had been fixed l.\{ tho Htate Dopartment,and that dato I holleved {o ba not lator than tho Uoth of Novomber. ‘Tho Spaulsh liye boon rying to stave off this sottle- ‘mout until thoy can ‘gather the sugar oxop and » i 3 ! make way with it. On _this int, how- ovor, Boorotary Tish js dlumuodmtot’dwnll i and’ hos dwolt with moro oarnestnoss than on tho quostions involved in tho Virginlus caso. Tho solution of the question of the embargosd estatos will probably suporaodo and antiolpate that of tho Virginiua, Tho Spanish authoritios liave postponed the sottle- mont of tho _fotmor for no good exouso, whilo their domand for timo in tho Virginius is regard- ofl as mado {n good faith, and for tho solo pur- poso of gotiing at tho roal fasts of the caso, sa 0 to be ablo to sot intolligontly.

Varona and his followers thercupon becamo gatinfled, and_shortly aftor an officer from tho Tornado boarded tho Virginius and demanded her papers, The officer, after ingpection, atated that they were correct, but made all on board prisouors, Varona repliod that he was n risonor because thore was not an English or merican mou-of-war near to witness this ecan- dal on the 1aws of nations.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Bosrox, Nov. 20.—CGon. Butler's organ in thir city gives, in its issuo of to-night, o summary of his views on the Virginius affair. Ho rogarde her easo a4 cloar enough. She was an.Amorlcay vossel, aod 1f, in taking on a cargo of arms to carry to the Insurgonts in Cubn, sho violated any 1aws, they wero tho lawa of our country, and no other power had jurisdiction in the case. Bpain having all along deuied thes there was o stata of war in Cubn, sho had no right 1o ovorhaul that 4 vogsol on tho high sons ; though iu time of wax i gho would bave had the right of sesrch under i similar circumstonces, Tho Virginius 5 VIOLATED NO SPANISH LAWS, v a8 sho had not been in Sprnish watera up to the time of lier capture. Bhe was not a blockade- o runner, a8 thero was no blockado, She was nol i & pirato, a8 she hiod committod no act of pirncy, R and itis not claimoed that sho was eailin & with avy piratical intent. Tho men on boar i may havo intended to violato tho luws of Bpain, o but they had not dono so, and might hovo p changed their minds, ovon after tho vossel had £ boen chased by the Toruado, Thero is no ques- tion of the justnoss of tho olaim that . THE VIRGINIUS S1OULD DE DELIVERED UP to the United States antborities ; aud tho of- ficers who acizod ber and thoso who ordercd, the oxecution of hor pussengers and crdw, ehould be givon up for such punishmont ne our Govern- ment shall inflict, according to the precdonts showing what is tobe dona in such cnses. If Spain will not consent to this, or_is unablo to do it, it is clearly the duty of our Govornmont to. take posecesion of tho loading ports of Cubs ; and the warlike proparstions of the Governmont are proper and noceseary. TIME SHOULD DE GRANTED ‘While our demands upon the Spauish Govern- ment should bo of a cheraster admitting no doubt of tho purpose of our Goverumont, tho Spavish Ministry should be granted all tho timo consistent with our national honor to sfford us tho redress domanded. Whilo they should bo mado to realize that thoy havothe sympathy of the Americans, it should also bo cleurly shown that our Govornmont will not pormit this sym- pathy to affact its demand for justice. AB REGARDS TUE EXECUTION OF GEN. IIYAN, and the three Cubans who wero st executed, ) Gen, Butler thinks our Governmont has bug lit- i a tlo cause for complaint, oxcopt on the ground that the Spanish Governmont had no right to kidnap them, & viow to punishing thom for ; provions violations of ita inws, But, as con= ¥ corns the othor prisonors oxecuted, thoy had 8 violatod no Spanish laws, aud thoir oxecution was BAPLY DUTOHERY, : and that under circumatances whioh demand de- 2 cieivo action on fho part of our Government. T'here lg, in tho estimation of Gon, Butler, LITTLE TO FEAR from the Spanish navy in American waters, aa their iron-clads would Lo too far from thoir conl-supply to be of much use. Within thirty dnys, in his opinion, our Government could raiso an army of volunteors much larger thnn would be roquired to take possession of Cuba, , and hold it for further considoration. Geu. Butlor rogrets tho necessity for o course thal v may embarrass the presont Republican Govorn- t mont of Spain, which desorves our heartiest . sympathy; and bie belioves that the diffeultics in tho way of sottlement arieo from tho weak- ness of that Governmont, and it inability te control affairs in Cuba. — PHILADELPHIA.
