VIRGINIUS PRISONERS. The Views of Secretary Fish. A representative of Tux STaw had an inter- view with Secretary Fish this morning with ref- erence to the action ot oar government in the complications arising out of the seizure of the steamer Virginius, and the execution of four of the captives. Mr. Fish stated that he had not yet been able to receive any information concerning the seiz- ure aud execation other than that the Virginius ptured near the island of Jamaica; that telegraphic communication between Havana and Santiago de Cuba was interrupted, and it might be several days before the fuli detatls were officially presented. A STAY OF PROCEEDINGS. Last night a dispatch was received from Min- ister Siekles by the Secretary, who stated that he had had an additional interview with C aste- ler, and that the news of the execation hai been officially received at Madrid. The Span- ish government at once cabled the authorities at Havana a peremptory dispatch to stay all further proceedings in the cases of the other captives. Said Mr. Fish: ‘You see the case is a complicated one. This government cannot act upon vague information, We cannot bring the dead to life, but we can endeavor to pre- vent further executions, and you may say this much has already been accomplished. There will be no more executions. In regard to the seizure we have no official information. If the Virginius was first sighted in Spanish waters ind chased to the ae sea and captured, that forms one view of the case; if she was on the igh sea and chased to Jamaica, that forms at other; ard if she was captared within a league of Jamaica it becomes a matter for the Eng- lish government to take cognizance of.” HOW THE BXECUTION MIGHT HAVE BEEN STAYED, The consul at Santiago de Cuba is A. N. Young. Some how or other this important func- tionary was away from his post. Said Mr. Fish, “Mr. Young was not at Santiago de Cuba. He was away from his post without leave.” The fact seems to be that the government of the United States had no one but the assistant Consul (Smith) on hand to enter a protest, and hence the executions were rushed through before intervention was possible; when if a consul of the Unted States had been present to demur, a stay might have been had long enough, at all events, to have received = order trom Madrid forbidding the exec u- ons. MR. FISH’S OPINION OF SPANISH GOVERNMENT. Said Mr. Fish, the government of Spain is composed of good republicans. They moan well. They have made many concessions at the instance of this government. The whole troulbe is with the volunteers (Spanish) in Caba+ No one attempts to apologize for their brutality and butchery. I think if the Spanish govern- ment was to cut the throats of the whole batch of them (the volunteers) it would bea good thing. 1 don’t mean physically but politically. They have displayed blood thirsty qualities, and have given their home government a great deal of trouble. But said Mr. Fish, “The min- ister of the colonies has been sent from Spain to make an inspection; he is armed with great power and I expect to hear of great reforms. With reference to the reported additional ex- ecution of Santa [osa. Mr. Fish said he had not been officially advised, but said he, ‘He has a me @ great deal of trouble. He was once efore condemned to death asa pirate, ana [ am not sure but that he came under that provi- sion. beeping nee 2 @ ream of paper, and numerous cable dispatches this government se- cured his release. He wrote me a letter only a few weeks ago, saying that he owed his life to me. Ithink he is a great fool if he went down there again.” STAY AT HOME SOLDIERS. Continuing, the secretary said: “I am in sympathy with the Cubancause. The trouble with them is that they have no seaport. They have no means of commnication; they are shut out from the rest of the world, and in getting supplies of any kind have to smuggle them in through Spanish waters. All those who were executed were no doubt in the commission of the insurgents. It would have been much better for the Cubans to have kept them home, doing service where it wasvaluable. Fighting batties in New York and in Washington by the words of titled officers will not earn victories. If they had done more service in Cuba and leas else- where the cause on the island might to-day pre- sent a more flattering aspect. I would rather see Cuban patriots made of sterner stuff.” In reply to an inquiry, Mr. Fish said the distance from Havanna to Santiago de Guba was 460 miles, and that it was possible that the Cubans themselves might bave cut the wires and have prevented telegraphic communication, In parting with the Secretary he observed that as soon as he received any additional official intelligence concerning the Virginius, be would at once communicate it to the press. The re; tative of Taz Star said, “Mr. Fish what reparation will be demanded of the Spanish government? Will it from them." ‘Well, said he,” we can’t tell at this time, mot having facts before us, but you can rest assured the government will act promptly in the premises. It is a somewhat similar Case to the Mason and Slidell affair. The insurgents actually want the government of the United States to do what the government of England did not daredo during th rar of the rebellion. They want us to fit out expedi- tions and land them on their soil. This ore than England did. True she fitted out one or two privateers, but she has had to pay fifteen and a half million dollars for the pleasure. ‘ngland never landed an armed vessel on our cot In this Virginius matter, after we are informed of the facts, this ‘nment will act, it cannot act now because it does not have apy basis upon which to proceed firmly intelligently. It may be a week yet before the news is presented in an official shape. Civic Sexvick ExAMIneRs.—Hon. Thomas Hillhouse, Assistant Treasurer United States, and Silas W. Burt, special deputy naval officer, ve been designated by the President mem- board for district civil service exami- at New York under the eleventh clause of the 9th article of the newregulations of the civil service rules.

The execu tions took place in the presence of an entire corps of volunteers, the force of regular infan try and sailors from the fieet. An immense concourse of people also witnessed the act. The best of order ailed. The prisoners met their deaths with composure.” STILL MORE EXRCUTIONS. A dispatch from Havana says that five Ca dans were shot at Santiago @ Suba on the instant. One was Santa Rosa, who was im- prisoned in Havana last summer, and whose release was obtained through the intercession of Seeretary Fish. A BALL GIVEN BY GEN. RYAN AT KINGSTON. A dispatch from Kingston, Jamaica, dated the 30th ult.,—the day previous to the capture of the Virginius,—says the Virginius, after taking on board a large party of Cubans and some war material which they had deposited in & powder magazine on ber arrival, cleared for Limon bay on the 23d inst. The customs officers examined the baggage of every ho went on board, in order to prov: inst any irregularities or violation of law. The evening before the Virginius sailed a grand ball was given on board by Gev. Ryan, who was the chief Of the expedition, GEN. W. A. C. RYAN. ‘The following is published in addition to the sketch of Gen. Ryan, which peared in Tur Stan of Satarday last. At the be inning of the Cuban struggle Ryan was fairly idolized by the retugeesin New York. In 1569 he made his appearance in New York as a free lance to free Cuba. Incompany with Ignacio Alfaro and the late Domin; lcouria, a large expedition known ns the “Catharine Whiting expedition,” was organized. The project was that 600 meu should meet up the sound, near Bridgeport. Accordingly, several tugs were chartered, which took the pess2ngers on board, and, to balk the authorities, went up the Hudson a long dis- tance, while others went down to Staten Island, after which the various vessels steamed up the Sound. Ryan finally landed at Gardi- ver’s Island, where he kept up an encampment there for six weeks. Subsequently allthe men were captured and placed on board the United States receiving ship Vermont at the yard. Kyan war constitated a prisoner, ri after indictment, was detained at Ludiow street jail, with Golcouria and others, for alleged breach of the neutrality laws. On one occe- sion, while returning from the United States court in Chambers street to his jail, he per- suaded bis keeper to accompany him up Broad- way to transact some basiness, when, by a con- certed plan by Kyan’s confederates, the keeper was knocked down and carried bodily into the casino and there gagged and detained. made his eseape. i On the Sist December, 169, he left New York on board the steam yacht Anna, on a sec expedition, under th» command of Javier Cis- neros, which safely landed its men and arms Here Ryan distingu'shed himself as a com- mander of cavalry. | After stopping in the Ca- maguey district for upwards of & year and hav- img the grade of bri lier general conterred upon him by act of the Cuban Congress, he returned to this country on a special mission for President Cespedes td organize another ex- pedition from this country. On the Sth of Jan- uary he went out in the steamer Hornet to Cuba Ryan once more. Here K showed the white fea- ther for the first time by cman to land at Punta Bri But the Cubans still had faith in him, Ryan went out on the steamer Fannie in the summer of 1572. On the voyage he swore there was a conspiracy to assassinate him, and showed various cuts in his clothes which had been done by some one on board, but for this he was laughed at. Kyan, however, refused to remain on shore, alleging lameness Subsequently the crew made their escape in the boats to Jamaica, Ryan accompanying them. The following is from the official report of the commander of the Fannie concerning “On the 22d of June, 1873, W. A. C. Ryan landed in one of the first boats, but when the cargo was all ashore he obta'ned leave from General Peralta to return on board to write a letter, and refused to land again, though urged by me repeatedly, in the presence of the officers id crew, to do so. This and other circum- lances, notably his refusing to s>nd his baggage ashore, proved conclusively that he had no in- tention of landing.” The steamer Atlas, it will be remembered, toox Kyan, Verona, and others trom New Yerk several weeks ago. Ryan came down to the steamer half an hour after the time appointed for the vessel's departure, in the hands of 4 shberift 's officer, who held him for a debt of $400. The money was raised in a trice by the enthu- siastic Cubans on the wharf, and Kyan was de- livered from custody ami reat cheering Many grasped him cordially by the hand for the sake of the old love, anda short time afterwards he and bis companions ted on thelr fatal undertaking. BRIGADIER GENERAL BARNABE DE VARONA was born in the city of Puerto Principe, in the year 1845. His family is one of the most re- spectable in that island. His patriotic mother sent the young Varona to the United States, where he was liberally educated. After finish- ing bis eaucation he returned to his native Puerto Principe, and became a confirmed op- nt of Spanish rule. In 186s Varona, or, as Ke'was somatimes called, Bembetta. came to. the United States to put himself in communica- tion with Gen. Quesada, who was then endeay- oring to ef ect an insurrectionary movement in Cuba by an expedition from these shores. In 1867 he went to Nassau, N. P., on a dangerous and delicate mission for the Qudans, accom- plisbing it with credit. In 1863, about the time of the rising in Yara, young Varona was i, prisoned in Puerto Principe and sent to ‘ana, where he was reported to the captain- — as erg the most vertgry Sed Fog and gerous to the government.
