4 CUBA. The Virginius Story as Related by the Tornado’s Commander. ——+———- THE CHASE AND CAPTURE. Butcher Burriel’s Brutal Treatment of the United States Consul. Schmitt’s Protests Like Water on a Duck’s Back. CFFICIAL REPORT OF THE CAP- TURE. Castitlo, the commander of the Tornado, has4# ‘made the following report of the chase, capture and Doarding of the Virginius to the naval authorities at Havana, It is dated from Santiago de Cuba:— In conformity with orders received by me, as commander of the corvette Tornado, to carefully watch the coast between Cape Cruz and Santiago ‘de Cuba, I left the latter port on the 29th of Octo- der, On that night 1 cruised in close proximity to ‘the land between the points indicated, being led to elleve by certain calculations that, whatever ‘might be the manceuvres of the Virginius during the night, it was evident that during the day she must lie well off, partly to avoid being seen and partly to reserve her resources until the proper moment for landing should arrive. , During the night ot the Both inst. we continued our cruise without in- cident, and had started on a new course at day- break, the next morning, When the man on the lookout reported seeing the smoke of a steamer, Proceeding in the direction of Jamaica. With the . ‘view of ascertaining what she was, aud at the same time to save as much fuel as possible, we followed her, hugging the coast for about 18 miles, when she changed her course to southeast by south, From the first moment that we saw her there ‘was great activity on board, the whole of the steam power from ‘all the boilers being brought into requisition, and at about half-past two o'clock in the afternoon we commenced to give chase. The position and course of the vessel principally, 4f for not other reasons, led me to believe that this craft was none other than the filibuster Virginius, for I imagined that she was proceeding from Jamaica toCuba when we saw her, but failing, under the circumstauces, to land on the island of Cuba, she had turned about again for Jamaica. These suspicions were confirmed by her sudden change of course and the evident activity on board to make all the speed possible, as Names could be seen emanating with the smoke from her funnels, In addition to this we now saw, by the light of the moon. when she changed her tack, her two smokestakes and paddle-boxes. I instructed the engineer to carry on all steam possible and drive our vessel through the water as quickly as he could. Owing to the darkness we thought she was about five miles ahead and hoped to over- haul her before she made Point Movante At half-past nine, while in her immediate neigh- | borhood, we tired five shots, and shortly afterwards NEW YORK HERA Pedro Cespedes and Kyan, have been executed.

Letit be hoped that this may serve as @ lesson to wandering bands o! disaffected men now in the island of Cuba. They will see to what anend their misdeeds will bring them; but, if they repent in time, they may rely On the clemency of the government, which will overlook their extravagant ideas, Your Governor, JUAN N, BURRIEL. Burriel Yelling at and Insulting the United States Consul—Piety versus Bar- barism—Worshipping the Saints by Murdering Human Beings. HAVANA, Noy. 12, 1873. Further advices have been received from Santi- ago de Cuba by private correspondence and the Published oficial despatches relative to the cap- tare of the steamer Virginius and summary exe- cution of a great number of the persons who came on board of her, The Spanish war steamer Bazan came in yesterday alternoon, two days irom Santi- ago de Cuba, with important despatches for the Captain General, and is prepared to leave at a mo ment's notice. Further information regarding the fate of the expeditionists state that FIFTY-TWO MOKB HAVE BEEN BXBCUTED. Joseph Fry, the Captain of the Virgin.us, and 36 of the crew were shot on the 7th, and on the sth 16 of the passengers were shot. It 1s stated that among those shot was Don Franchi Alfaro, who offered $1,000,000 to save his life, and further, the Havana papers state this morning that he came to take charge of the Presidency of the Cuban Re- public, The courts martial, both military and marine, are still conducting their cases with the utmost despatch, but apparently the captured are being SHOT FIRST AND TRIED AFTERWARDS. Public opinion has it that the Captain General, some days since, received a telegram from Spain to suspend all executions, and that tnis has an- gered him exceedingly. A great deal of telegraph- ing has been going on between the chief authority of Cuba and that of Spain, Private letters from Santiago de Cuba, with dates to the Sth inst., state the conduct of the United States Consul in this matter and the pubitshed oMicial reports, These give the particulars of the chase and capture in detail, from which it is learned that the Tornado, .when it first dis- covered the Virginius, was cruising on a parallel of 18 miles distant from the coast of Cuba. None of the accounts agree upon the precise dis- tance from Jamaica at the time of the capture; tt has been givén variously at 23, 20, 18, 16 and even narrowed down to six miles. It will, perbaps, be eventually admitted that the vessel was in British waters at the time. The oficial reports further bear witness to the efforts of the Virginius to escape, and the fact of a large leak in her bow, which retarded her speed, and for which she has since been grounded at Santiago de Cuba to pre- vent her sinking. THE VIRGINIUS WHEN CAPTURED, The vessel was found at the moment of her cap- ture to be ina very confused and disordered condi- tion—boxes and cases broken open and their con- tents of arms and ammunition thrown into the sea. Even when the boarding parties came on board this operation was actively carried on until stopped. It seemed to be the intention of the ex- peditionists to destroy and throw overboard every- thing, rather than allow anything of value to fall into the hands of their captors, The immediate cause of her capture may be stated to be the want ot proper fuel, the leak 1n the bow and the bright moonlight. Great enthusiasm was exhibited in Santiago de Cuba upon the arrival of the vesseis on Saturday, the lst of November, THE FLRST EXECUTIONS. The next day court marttais were convened to sent out two boats, under the command of Don Enrique Pardo and Don Angel Ortiz, with orders to | take possession of the Virginius in the name of the | Spanish nation. The report of these officers has | already been made, and I content myself with in- | Jorming you that, at eleven o'clock at night, the | Virginius, fying the Spanish flag, was headed to- wards Cuba, having on board a prize crew, after we had removed the bulk of the prisoners on board our vessel. The cargo of arms and war munition was thrown overboard during the cuase, but the empty cases | fell into our possession, including cartridges and | other articles, which are meluded in the in- | ventory which I have already handed in to the | authorities. | The enthusiasm of the crew simply baffles. de- | scription, when success crowned our efforts. The prisoners were treated with such consideration as their character deserved and the necessity of their safe keeping demanded. The Virginius, under our convoy, reached Santiago de Cuba on November 1, | at five o'clock in the evening, when our arrival was made the signal of a genuine outburst of patri- otic enthusiasm, The importance of this expedition, when the number and rank of the prisoners are considered, cannot be overrated, In addition to the severe les- son that we have given to the enemies of Spain, the capture has made the inhabitants of Santiago delirious with enthusiasm. I make no reference to the conduct of our men, but wili simply say that | their conduct, from the highest to the lowest, is | worthy of all praise, and when I say that the men | were Spaniards, working for Spanish interests, you | will understand all. Upon my arrival in port here I gave official information of the capture to the | authorities, and what must now follow has to be dictated by the officers of justice. In concinsion I | have only to add that I congratulate all the oMcers of the Tornado, from the highest to the lowest, for the severe lesson that they have given to the enemies Of our country, DIONISIO COSTILLA. | Another Desaription of the Chase. _| | One of the officers on board gives a further description of the chase to a friend in Havana, and | shows more clearly the extent of the much-mouthed enthusiasm of the men and oMicers of the Tornado, ‘This letter also comes from Santiage de Cuba under date of the 5th of November. After relating the solitude of an apparently armless crujse he states that the meeting with the Virginins was a drama of the greatest interest in favor of the cause of Spain—one that, for the future, must entirely over- cast the designs of her enemies, and one that com. | pensates them for the long walting and evil re- ports they have had to endure inthe past.

So many rumors have been current regarding this affair that the Diarfo has deemed it hecessary to caution the public against them.

SCHMITT'S PROTESTS—BURRIEL'S BULLYING. The acting United States Vice Consal, Mr. Schmitt, addressed a letier of remonstrance to Governor Burriel ior not allowing bis telegram to pass, und hot having been oficially notified of the events relating to the capture of au American vessel and | imprisoument of uer crew and passengers, request- Ing permission to visit them either on board or in the jail.

This brought forth asharp and angry rejoinder from Governor Burriel, in whicn he excuses net having answered his communications on account of grave and peremptory alfairs which required ail his atten- ton, and furthermore, the fact of two days being holidays, the Ist und 2d,on which days, says his pious (’) Excellency, the government employés do not come to their offices, but are piously engaged in contemplating the divine mysteries of All Saints’ Day and the commemoration Of Ail Souls’ Day. THESE PIOUS EXERCISES of the government officials had prevented the worthy Governor irom acknowledging the Con- sul’s pressing communications. But all hands, the Governor included, were clamoring for the biood of the unfortunate expeditioaists ana hurrying up lace on the sacred days the Governor rejera to, The Governor is not at all pleased at the zeal of the Consul, and tells him” to protest as much as he likes, but that his ofmMcious and suspicious mo- tives desiring to visit the imprisoned pirates, writes the Governor, whom he, the Consul, eS passengers, Make it incumbent on him to request the government to revoke his exequatur.

The Chief of Police effected the arrest yesterday, on board of the steamer City of New York, 01 & number of passengers—two gentlemen and eight ladies, suspected of bringing insurgent correspond: ence. Atthe moment o1 the capture, it 1s sald, they made an attempt to throw two ‘carpet-bags into the sea. The similarity of names of the pris- oners Joaquin and Francisco Lancis gave rise to the rumor that Ratael Lanza, editor of La Kevolu- cion, had been apprehended. Francisco Bombuiler, the owner of the Bombalier Express Company, was also arrested on the charge of attempting to introduce said correspondence.

THE WAR SENTIMENT. ee No Abatement in the Great Popalar Outcry for Justice—Sharp Assaults on the Government—A Private Letter from Santiago—The Public Not Allowed to Communicate with the Prisoners— Sketches of the Victims of the Vir- ginius. The war sentiment in New York ts becoming a roaring flood day after day, as the details of the Santiago massacre come to us, adding volume and fury woits flow, Yesterday, notwitnstandiog the’ calm which mignt be expected to supersede the reflections of the Sabbafh, the excitement was very marked everywhere, and every new detail of information concerning the capture and slaughter ofthe Virginius party was eagerly passed from mouth to moutn. It is singular, however, to note with what unanimity the people at large avowed their belief that the bloody and defiant disgrace to which the nation had been subjected could only be atoned ior by war, and the almost equal upanimity with which they conceded that they did not think the government would push its demands against Spain with any successful result, Itis useless to detail all the conversations that arise upon the subject; but hundreds of times yesterday the reporter heard such expressions a3 these :— “Oh, Well, it's no use to expect anything from the government. We always knuckle down!’ “This goverument won't go to war; it don’t dare to do itl? “Fish will write letters about it for a year, and then take an apology!” “Why, the administration can’t go to war, my triend. Why, our national finance system isa mere shell. We hear about ‘reducing the national debt’ and ‘retrenchment in the various departments,’ and ‘national economy,’ and all that; but we owe $20,000,000 gold interest on our bonds, which will become due on the 1st of January, and as yet there is no visible way Of rais- ing even tiat amount.

It states that the prisoners were not brought vetore any Court whatever for trial, though such has been asserted, and that they were shot four hours" after’ sentence was pronounced against them. No one was allowed, even upon tne most urgent entreaty, to visit any of the prisoners, nor were the public admitted to witness the exe- cutions, a8 has been intimated by the despatch from Burriel to the Captain General, A certain element of the public, however—the friends and toois of the Spanish Governor, Burriel—were ad- Passes issued under his authority.

Senor Nicolas Lemus—An Interview with the Ex-President of the Mexican Congress—His Views on the Caban Question—All Mexicans in Favor of a Cuban Republic. Yesterday morning Seflor Nicolas Lemus, ex- President of the Mexican Congress, arrived here irom Mexico. A HekaLp reporter called upon him at Barnum’s Hotel, Twentieth street and Broad- way, where he was staying. Sejior Lemus oceu- pied a seat near the window in the hall of the hotel and seemed to be enjoying the sights of gayety and fashion which crowd upon the eye in this part of Broadway. Seiior Lemus is a sort, well-built man, who carries himself with ease and grace, and whose face Indicates both energy and intellect. He has a large head, a high forehead, an aquiline nose, a firm, weil-shaped mouth, large dark eyes, fringed by buehy eyebrows of the same color, and, a heavy black mustache that streaks the lower part of his face in a careless manner. Sefior Lemus is the very type of the high-bred Mexican gentie- man, When the reporter accosted him he rose politely and toucned his hat, “Sefior Lemus,’ the reporter said, “Iam a re- porter of the HERALD,” “Oh, Of the HeraLp,” Sefinor Lemus said, his face lighting up with surprise; ‘lam happy to see you. | Ihave read the Henan frequently in Mexico. Sefior Lemus prayed the reporter to be seated, | He said he spoke English bat imperfectly and would prefer to converse in the French language, The reporter then stated his mission, Which Was to ascertain the views of Seflor Lemus in regard to the Virginius butchery, “Ll have scarcely a correct idea of what has really happened,” the distinguished Mexican re- plied, in Frenen, “as I lett Mexico on the 2d inst, and only just arrived in the Cleopatra. Mexico, I think, will take ne oart whatewer in tha nreaant complicatinos, although the massacre must, un- doubtedly, have created great indignation and excitement. I cannot speak from personal observa- tion, however, as the massacre occurred after I | had left Mexico." “Are the Mexicans in favor of Cuban tndepend- ence?” “Oh, yes, universally, The government of Mex- 1co cannot approve of the actions of the Spaniards, because there are Loo mauy sympathizers with the Cuban cause ur Mexico.” “What do you predict the probable conse- quences of this butchery “1 think the Spanish government ought to apolo- gize and make the amplest reparation. I greatly regret that the Spaniards have acted iu this cruel manner, | believe that ifthe Spaniards would treat the Cubans with more kindness and humanity | harmony between ,the nations could easily be es- tablished,’? “Will the Mexican government take any action in the matter ¥’? “No; the Mexican government has strong rea- sons for remaining perfectly neutral, as it holds diplomatic relations with Spain. The present gov- ernment is in the hands of discreet and cautious men, who are always endeavoring to keep Mexico out of dimculties with foreign nations. Of course the indignation among the people over this horri- ble butehery will be very great indeed, and not only among the Mexicans, but among ail the na- tons of the civiilzed parts of the earth, I don’t think that Spaniards o! feeling and refinement will approve of it.” “Do you think, Sefior, that a war between the United states and Spain will be the consequence?’ “No, [don’t think there is any cause for war, but I think there is cause for ample redress. You must remember that Spain is a Republic, and has, as such, particular claims to the friendship and the kindly consideration of the United States. This government 1s one which is respected all over the world, and, | think, it can be trusted to adjust this dimculty In & manner satisfactory both to the people of Spain and of the United States," “Do you know what views President Lerdo en- tertains in regard to the question of Cuban inde- pendence?” “President Lerdo is too discreet and cautious a man to express bis opinions on such matters; be- sides the Mexican government bas enough to do to establish the lasting prosperity, peace and greatness of the Mexican nation.” With this Sefior Lemus begged to be excused, as he had to go out to call upon some friends, and the interview terminated. Sefior Lemus will stay but : an days at Barnum’s Hotel, and wili then sail for ondon. THE TORNADO'S PREY. The following list of the men who left this city to join the iil-tated Virginius will be read with great interest at the present moment. About 100 left New York in the September and October voy- ages of the steamer Atlas for Kingston, Jamaica. The first detachment was called “The Agramonte Rifle Corps,”’ and the second—a larger expedition, among whom was General Varona—“Escolta Bembeta;’’ but, upon the fusion of the two bodies at Jamaica, it was intended that they should take the common name of the “Agramonte Rifle Corps.” The following names are those best known to their compatriots in this city, Many of them have rela- tives here, and nobody, save those personally in- terested, can imagine the anguish of mind they are now undergoing, pending the receipt of tur- ther and more definite news from Santiago de Cuba, which will tell tne names of those who have been massacred and those eighteen who have been spared. | F; It {s positively known that there were about 15 British sucjects on board.

The Hum of Preparation—At Work with @ Will—Departure of the Powhatan and Juniata—Uther Vessels Getting Ready—Two Thousand Two Hundred Men Employed—A Further Increase of the Force To-Day. The most enthusiastic American citizen could not take umbrage at the Navy Department or charge our government with apathy during the exist- ing crisis of national affairs were he but to vsiit the Navy Yard at this sta- tion. A HERALD representative made a tour of inspection of the great depot in question yesterday, and the result of his observa- tion and inquiries were such as to warrant the statement that no possible effort will be lacking on the part of the President to advance the effici- ency of our engines of war, as far as is prac- licable, at once, so that when Congress meets they will be able to approve the good worksof tbe Executive. THE POWHATAN OFP.

THE JUNIATA SAILS. Shortly after three o'clock, amid the cheers of the sailors, the gallant steam sloop-of-war Juniata, Captain D. L. Brain, steamed out from the Navy Yard with her pennant floating proudly from the mizzen peak, her battery of eight gans frowning defiance to ail molestation. She proceeded to the buoy off Ellis isiand, where she will take on board her powder, and will turn her prow seaward under sealed orders, at an early hour this morning. THE FRIGATE COLORADO. This magnificent frigate, which carries a batter: of 48 guns, Which was hauled alongside the doc’ at the foot of the street leading trom the main entrance to the yard on Saturday, was alive with men yesterday. The hammer of the calker, the clang of the metal resounding under the strokes of the mach nist, the cheery voices of the brave rig- gers, banging on to little or nothing, as they worked away with a will, the orders of the tore- men to the workmen on deck and between decks, all went to make up an effect both pictur- esque and exciting to the mind Of the appreciative looker-on. The atmosphere yesterday was cold and raw, the drizziing rain penetrating ordinary raiment; but work, Work was the order, and it Was obeyea with zest. A large force will be kept busy night and day on the Colorado, and itis prom- ised by the authorities that she will be ready for service in twenty days’ time. Her officers will, , Probably, be ordered to hoid themselves in readi- ness lor duty on her next week, THE MINNESOTA, This splendid ship, which is very similar in every Phe ni to the Colorado, 18 lying atthe “cob dock, and workmen were busy yesterday in tearing the “housing " off her, preparatory to fitting her out with expedition, Three weeks’ earnest, active labor will Onish her, and the attention requisite will be devoted to her.

WHAT 15 THOUGHT OF OUR COURTESY TO SPAIN. It was remarked by @ party of oMicers with whom the writer conversed centercay. that it was a strange spectacle at this juncture to see the Spanish tron-claa Arapiies taking up the va!uapie space of our dry dock undergoing repairs. Last summer the Zaragoza, another Spaniard, was in the dock, too, at @ time when it was an incon- venience to our navy. It is, certalply, unprofitable business for Uncle Sam. It 1s also a fact worthy of note, that in the event of a war with Spain we will have to contend with a force of 30 gunboats which were constructed in New York and Brookiyn shipyards, @ couple of years ago, tor the Spanish navy in Cuban waters. Each of these vessels carries @ 100-pounder and @ 30-pounder rifed gun, and will prove no insignificant foo, The tn- —Able seamen, THE SPANISH IRON-CLAD. The Arapil in the Brooklyn Navy Yard—Interview with Her Com- mander—The Opportunity to Annex Her. The Navy Yard was in a state of ferment yester- day. Everybody engaged there, from the Com- mandant down to the dock laborer, appeared to feel an tncreased sense of his importance, and to act under the impression that the eyes of America were upon him. The ofMicers generally observed a stern reticence, as if they were overcharged with weighty information, but under a sacred pledge to reveal nothing. A few of them, however, were free to confess that they really could add nothing to the general stock of knowledge, and that all this ordering about, this hurry and bustle, might mean war, though they were prepared to admit that it might only be a warlike demonstration for @ pacific purpose. One officer remarked, with evident pleasure, that war was un- avoidable, while another thought that all this “hum of preparation’? would only serve to let some surplus steam of and to show the cruel Spaniard what our navy yards can turm out incase of a sudden emergency. Althougha great many fiditional men have obtained employ- ment in the yard, there is still a crowd of idlers loitering around the principal entrance, apparently anxious for work. THE MOST INTERESTING OBJECT to sight seers is the Spanish iron-clad Arapiles, which is lying im the dry dock itke a helpless sea- monster hoisted “high and dry.’’ The flag of old Spain waves as if in deflance from her mast, and sentinels are stationed on board, as it she were prepared to repulse the attack of any hostile craft, A HERALD representative made his way across the black mud—indeed, with the rain Ponting, down, the whole Navy Yard wore @ garo of soot— and, after stumbling over logs and various debris, found himself on board the Arapiles, and was shown into the presence of the comandante, Captain Demetro de Castro Montenegro, who received him very courteously. When the HERALD reporter had mentioned the object of his visit Captain Montenegro expressed his willing- ness to give the intormation desired of him. The commander of the Arapiles is in ape any- thing but the typical Spaniard, He is a short, stout, middle-aged gentleman, with A MILD, BENEVOLENT, RETIRED-GROCER-LIKE COUN- TENANCE. The conversation began thus:—The HERALD re] resentative queried, **Weil, Captain, when will the Arapiles be ready for sea?” To which the Comandante replied:—‘I think it will be more than a month before she is ready, for she haa done a great deal of service and needed @ thorough overhauling. My instructions are to sail for Spain as s00n as she is finished.’’ . “Suppose @ war should break out between the United States and Spain before the Arapiles can leave this dry dock, what then "’ inquired the re- orter. Pome Comandante seemed rather puzzled by this question ; but merely said, “1 do not know any- thing about that," and then repeatea his former remark about his instructions, The HERALD representative again put the ques- tion in the jorm of a supposition:—“Suppose the navy yard people here do not feel inciined to let the Arapiles go—suppose we should want just such a vessel as the Arapiies, and decide to annex her as if she were part of the island of Cuba, rather f than allow her to leave and to bombard—say Castle Garden or the summer residence of the President at Long Branch—what would you do about it, Sefor Comandante?’ The Comandante looked as if he thonght this a good joke. He smiled tn a good humored way, but repeated for the third time his answer about his instructions to sail for Spain as soon as the re- pairs of the Arapiles were completed, ‘The H&RALD reporter thought thia interview rather up hill work. So, alter expressing to the Comandante his unmeasurable gratitude for the important tniormation he had given to the HERALD and the great American public, the conversation was brought to aclose with mutual smiles, bows and handshakings. BALTIMORE ALIVE WITH FRIENDS OF CUBA. eek ea Baurrmory, Nov. 17, 1873. The strongest indignation still prevails through- out all classes of this city against the Spanish butchers in Cuba. The popular sentiment ts ready to take the form of decisive action, and the announcement of the positive attitude of the government occasions the liveliest satisfaction. The Cuban Executive Committee—consisting of Mr. James M. Buchanan, formerly United States Minister to Denmark; Mr. H. Clay Dallam, General George U, Bier, Colonel G. W. P. Smith, Colonel KB. M. Yerger, Mr. R. H. Pugh and Major A.J, George— held @ meeting to-day to prepare for the great popular demonstration to take place on Wednes- day evening. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, Governor Whyte and Mayor Vansant will be among the speakers on this occasion. The First Maryland regiment has intimated a desire to offer its ser. vices should the emergency demand, and four companies of other regiments have publicly stated that they are ready to move at any time in the same cause, There are @ large number of Cubans in Baltimore at this time, and Spanish spies under the employ of the Spanish Consul here are following them up. An advertisement calling for Cuban recruits was pened in the Baltimore papers to-day ; but the pxecutive Committee suspected it as a device of the detectives to gather information of the move- ments of the friends of Cuba, and counteracted it. If immediate steps are taken the Cuban cause can get 6,000 volunteers from Baltimore in two days. NEW YORK NAUTICAL SOHOOL Twenty-first Anniversary of the Insti~ tution—Address by the President, Dr. William Ff. Thoms. The twenty-first anniversary of the New York Nautical School, under the auspices of the Soctety for the Education and Advancement of Young Sea- men, was held last evening at No. 92 Madison street.

Stx thousand five hundred and eighty navigators lave been educated by this deparument, 2,000 0.
