Ax conflicting statements © wppeared in reference to the settlement, itcan wow be positively stated that the terms are as Tollows: First, the immediate delivery to the United States of the stup Virginias and all the surviy ing pasengers and crew. ccond —A salute to our flag on the 25th of Deeomber next, unless in the mean time Spain val! satisfy the United States that the Ameri- can flag was improperly borne on that vessel, and further that she had no right to the Ameri- can flag or American papers. In this event the salute is to be spontaneously withdrawn. and Spain is to formally disclaim any intentional ineignity to the flag’ in the acts committed by Spain against the Virginius. ‘Third.—If it shall thus be shown that the Vir- ginius bad no right to carry the Americar flag snd papers, the Unitet States will institate proceedings against the vessel and the serviv- ing partics who have violated the laws of the United States; and Spain guarantees to insti- tute proceedings against any of her authorities who may have violated either law or treaty stipulations. Fourth. The matter of reclamations for dam- ages ix reserved for future consideration. In addition to the above, itcan also be posi- tively said that within the next twodaysSecro- tery Fish and the Spanish minister will deter- mine the port at which the Virgintus and the surviving passengers and crew shall be deliv- ered to the United States. ‘The words ‘immediate release” as applicable to the delivery of the Virginius and the sarviv- ing passengers and crew implies of course a reasonable time for its execution. as some days -must elapse before Havana and Santiago de Cuba ean be reached. ‘The agreement is regarded in oficial quarters as covering all the points of our original @e- mands, though in a modified form, while it is considered respectiul and honorable to both countries. The hxing of the 25th of December as the time for saluting our flag is to allow the neces- sary opportunity to Spain to show that the Vir- ginius improperly carried the American flag and American Papers, There is a sensible reliet all quarters that the negotiation has thas peaceably ended, SPAIN’S ABILITY DOURTED. There is a growing belief that Spatn will find it diffientt to carry out the terms of the protocol. Additional ordets were issued from the Navy Department Saturday to hurry up the work on the ships in preparation for séa, and especially on the Colorado, which is to be sent to sea at the earliest possible moment. Her officers are ordered to reporton board without delay, Her destination is Key West. The intention of the Navy Department is to concentrate as large a fleet as possible at Key West, and at as early a date as practicabl SER HEARS PROM MADRID. umner has received a cable dispateh from Madrid, addressed to by several mem bers of the republican majority of the Cortes It refers to his letter on the Cuban question,and thanks him for his noble and sympathetic ut. teroncesin behaif ot the Spanish republic. It calls on this government to stand by the Span. ish republic. and *ays the republicans of Spain have already freed many thousand slaves, and intend to free them all. BOW BAVANA RECEIVED THE NEWS. The news of the settlement of the Virginius question between Spain and the United States, and the terms upon which it is based was received im Havana with much excitement; but perfect order prevailed among the people and the volunteers, The chief authorities of the island assembled in conference have sent a manifesto to the Spanish government, asking it to wait until it shall have received a protocol about the Virginius case, which shows the right of cap- ture, and the jastice of the subsequent proceed- ings. The mass of the people oppose the sur render of the Virginius, or any yielding to pre tensions wnich may dishonor the Spanish flag THE TONE OF THE PRESS is in accord with the mercies feeling. El Cro- nista of Saturday, published a letter from Ha yana, dated the 22d Instant, in which the writer breathes forth vengeance ani slaughter. He fays that Cuba is perfeetly indifierent whether the United States attempts an invasion of the island. If she does she must take the conse- quences. The same number of El Cronista publishes a long and inflammatory article, urg ing the Spanish government to maintain a bold altitude toward this country. The tive points our government presented to Spain are de- nounced as humiliating and inadmissible. MINISTER SICKLES TO REMAIN IN MADRID Minister Sickles has received orders to pend preparations for the departure of the lega- ton from Madrid. Casteiar was only embar- raseed for fear of popular reaction against the concessions. Gen. Sickles will probably resign soon, fearing that the settlement ts insecure.

ACTIVITY AT THE NAVY-YARDS, There is no change in affairs at the Brooklyn nayy-yard, and the great activity in prepara- tion for sea of all the war ships continnes. Ti. work of pi — interior ot the frigate Co! orado was finished early thig eventng, and all three of her masts are now in their proper posi- tions.

OPENING SCENES. House oF KeErRRseNTATIves.—The House was called to order at 12 o'clock by the clerk of the last House, Mr. McPherson.

Gu tue ‘lgor the scene was of the liveliest description. Nearly all the members in the city were early on the tloor, and each had a cordial greeting for the othey. The old members generally took the seats they had occupied in the lust House, while the new inerbers of course squatted where they could. Political questions generally were di cussed in aspiritof friendliness, aud tbe opin- ions on the Cuban question and on the financial situation were numerous and diverse.
