CUBA EXCITED. Review of “awewe Situa- tion in the Island. ——_--—_—_—_ THE HAUGHTY SPANISH VOICE. acne Arrival and Reception of the Virginius at Havana. THE CHASE OF THE CAPTURED SHIP. Details of the Execution of the Victims. Further Arrests and Rumors of Conspiracies. HAVANA, Nov. 20, 1873, ‘The gencral feeling of the public of Havana is ft present one of distrust and, in some degree, fear, the principa) and prevailing topic being the consequences which the hasty execution of the captain and crew of the steamer Virginius may wring upon this island and Spain, Tae commer- vial public are alarmed at the many, varions and exciting rumors current regarding anticipated war with the United States, and the reception of Wtartling telegrams here by the authorities, the purport of which ts whispered about, as nothing whatever in the shape of a telegram trom the out- side world has been allowed publicity, and the rensorship on outgoing telegrams js stricter and veverer than ever, the Captain General himseif acting the censor; and no political news, except guch 28 we find in the Havana journals, which is yeverely censored before publication, can be trans- mitted, and only passes alter sovere inspection bnd delay. Spaniards and the natives, each among them- selves, discuss the question in different tones, while the foreigner looks calmly on. The first famed are, as usual, arrogant and defiant, although they have changed somewhat in counte- bance and tone since trouble does loom in the dis- tance, and they already dream of bombshells, the size of sugar hogsheads, falling into Havana, They have had such unlimited faith in the indiffer- ence of the government of the United States to the affairs of Cuba in general and the fate of the un- fortunate captives of the Virginius in particular, 48 well as the impunity with which former slaugh- ters have been treated, that it has encouraged the belief that ail questions arising from the cap- ture of the Virginius and the slaughtering of her trew would be arranged diplomatically, They even at present express tbe opinion that the United States or England will hold them respon- wible for these late outrages, and spitefully de- mand what legitimate interest the American people can have in investigating this affair, and with what sight they meddle in the interior at- lairs of the island. Although the censorship of the government over the telegraph is rigid and severe, the reception of various telegrams by mercantile houses from their Dorrespondents abroad, advising cessation of busi- ness, caution, and latterly recommending them not to charterany American or Spanish bottoms, ail tend to keep up acertain undefined feeling of anxiety and distrust. Powder is being transported from the magazine to the forts, cannons are being mounted and all the forts are actively engaged in preparing for an emergency. Such proceedings naturally induce ¢isions of trouble with Uncle Sam and John Buil. ‘The arrival of a squadron of monitors and men-of- war, bombardment, fire and shells of immense size whistling through tne air, with all the other attendant horrors of war and desolation and con versation tend to these questions alone. The subject which has given rise to all this pres- ent disturbed state of feeling—the Virginius—leit Santiago de Cuba on the afternoon of the 13th, con- voyed by the Spanish man-of-war Isabel la Ca- tolica and the Tornado, surrounded by numbers of boats and cheering crowds to see ber off for Ha- vana. Upon leaving the harbor the forts fired sa. Jutes of honor, and several steamtugs, with bands of music and prominent persons on board, fol- sowed her quite a distance. No thoughts were given to the victims of the ill-fated steamer. The Isabel la Catolica and the Tornado followed tm her wake, All these vessels were expected to arrive here Monday, and the Voz de Cuba, in ad- vance, called for general dressing up of the streets with flags and streamers for three days, and stated that the brave captors of the “pirate” should be well received and complimented. The Casino Es- pafiot gives an entertainment this evening, and bther festivities are talked of. A bull fight (fitting spectacle) is announced for this afternoon in honor of the “brave captors.” The vessels came into port on the afternoon of the 18th—first the Isabel la Catolica, then the Vir- gintus, and lastly the Tornado, Upon passing up the harbor the wharves were lined with a curious trowd, from occasional groups of which came cheers and cries of ‘Viva £spafia! After anchoring the two Jatter vessels were in- vaded by a multitude of enthusiastic Spaniards. As usual in such cases, a committee from the Casino Espafiol were of the first on band to tender congratulations, The officers of the Tornado are quite reticent re- Garding the affair, but state that DURING THE CHASE at one time the Virginius succeeded in putting 15 miles between herself and pursuer, but that on board of the Ternado, by the most prodigious efforts, they overtook her. The smoke stacks of the Tornado were heated to red heat, and names seemed to come from them rather than smoke; they were so hot as to cut off communication be- tween the crew fore and aft, and several alarms of fire in the engine rooms were given. According to the declaration of some of the ex- Peditionists it is stated that two torpedoes were thrown overboard from the Virginius, in the hope the Tornado would run on them and be blown up. ‘The waterproof lines of connection are still to be seen on board, When the Spanish boarding ofiicer, Eugene Ortiz, with only 10 men, boarded the V: ginius, he called on the captain to surrender, who immediately did so. The steersman who was or- dered to the wheel was threatened by one of the expeditionists, who cocked a pistol at him, but ‘Was prevented from using it. Bembeta at the time was in his shirt sleeves, having taken off and thrown his coat and vest into the furnaces of ‘tne Virginius, as an example to the others. Dur- ing his stay in the Tornado he said that he had a og rette reany 0 set fire to a cask of powaer when about to be boarded, but at the last moment reflected that there were many young men under e aboard, whose lives would be spared, and he hot want to take upon himself the responsi- bility of sending them thus nore ey, into ak The deck of the Virginius when boarded was in le greatest confusion, covered with papers, in- surgent cockades, five-pointed buttons, pieces of en, harness and bayonet sheaths. The lower cabins were so filled with coals and the cargo that pats twenty persons could find accommodations below, and consequently the remainder of the per- sons on board lived on deck. Nothing is said by the omicers concerning the de- tails of the execution save that Captain died like @ brave man, and it was due to his appeals that a number of his comrades accepted in the last moment the consolation of religion and embraced the Catholic faith, AnoMcer of the Tornado, in Speaking of the manner in which i THE LAST TWELVE CUBANS DIED, among them being General Quesada's son, Vails, Mola, and others of the vest families of Cuba, re. marked, ‘I cannot exactly quailty their manner of receiving their end as valiant, but must call it cyn- foal; they laughed and joked on the way to the place df execution, and upon arriving there, and after be- compelled to kneel, some picked up handfulls of earth and threw it at their companions, with the words ‘Chico que te sea la tierra leve’ (my boy, earth rest light upon you). At the last omens they commenced to shout ‘Viva Cuda &c., and bugles had to be sounded and frums beaten to drown their voices,” It is stated that Captain Fry took charge of this infortunate enterprise on account of poverty. He 4ad been for months without employment and yould find none, and his wile aud large family wore H destitute circumstances. — The Bandera Bepaiola, of Santiago de Cuba, NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, O_O NOVEMBER 26, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. ves the following particuiars/regarding the sen. jee passed on the crew and a letter reporting the conversion of a number to the Catholic faith :— “Of the entire crew which came in the Virginius 37 were slot; of these 37, 10 only were Cubans b) birth and 27 foreigners, of whom 16 were Britis! subjects, Of the rematning crew, four condemned to the chain gang Jor life, three to eight years and eight to four years, and three, less than 18 years of age, were considered exempt irom punishment,” ‘At seven o’clock this morning (8th) 12 of the ex- peditionists were exeeuted at the usual place (this usual place is the slaughter house wall). Their names are:— Arturo Loret de Mola, 1834 years. Augustin Varona y Borrero, 28 years. Oscar Varona po cage 19 years, Wiliam Vals Wilson, 24 years, Herminio Quesada, 15 years. José Boiel Amador, 26 years. Saivador Peneda y Alvarado, 23 years, Enrique Castellanos y Allons, 29 years. Francisco Rivero (4) Santa Kosa, 40 years. Justo Consuegra y Sosa, 26 years. Francisco Porra a Porraspita, 19 years, José Utero y Valdez, 27 years. These ages are given ip full by the Bandera in order to refute an assertion which appeared in the Diario Redactor of Santiago de Cuba (republican), to the effect that “many of them (the executed be- tore named) being of tender years.” Those seven words have cost the editor of the Diario Redactor a heavy fine and imprisonment. It is stated by the Bandera in refutation that only among the crew 0! the Virginius were there any minors—seven betwecn 14 and 18 years and one of 10 or 12 years, principally colored voys from Jamaica. Eighteen years is, according to Spanish law, the age for criminal responsibility, and it is stated by them, as @ trait of their humanity (|), that one of the pris- oners not being able to state correet!y whether he was (ully 18 years of age, the fiscal ordered the notary to write down his age as “18 years not not completed,” by which his life at least was spared, “If Quesada’s son was shot,” says the apologist of the Bandera, “it was because he had deciared that he was 18 on the 4th of October last, Had he stated on the 4th of next December, notwithstanding his importance, the probabilty is his life would also have been epared,” One can scarcely imagine tn what the importance of this youth consisted; he had never before used arms against Spain. The fact of being tne son of General Quesada, s0 hateful to the Spaniards, was, undoubtedly, sufficient to condemn him, whether @ month below or above 18 years. Among the 12 thus shot were many who had never been in arms—Valis, Mola, &c.—but they be- jonged to conspicuous families of Puerto Principe, and that was sufficiently criminal to the courts that had them go through the farce of a trial. ‘the Commandant General of the Eastern De- partment, Brigadier Burriel, received ‘A JUBILANT LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR of the bishopric of Santiago de Cuba, announcing the conversion to Catholicism, already referred to, of 20 of the prisoners of the 37 condemned to death aud subsequently executed, im the following terms:— An immense joy fits our heart upon informing Your Exceilency that among the condemned who were put in capilia wt t o'clock yesterday morning were 20 per- fons, who, having previously lived out of the bosom of the Catholic Church, treely and spontaneon: begged to enter at, abjuring, in the act, thelr errors, and receiving the waiers of. baptism, which was administered, under Sur authorization, by the parish priest, Amador Milanés, ‘This event, ax glorions as ft is rare, has been undoubtedly the result of the zeal displayed in the fulfilment of their holy ministry by the priests attendant upon the criminals, and especiully Milanes, who understands English pertectly. Uhave the honor to accompany a list of the names of the converts, that you may give them full publicity. Dr. VINCENTE JOSE PICOX, Cons, Nov. 8, 1873, NAMES OF THE CONDEMNED CONVERTED to the Roman Catholic religion and baptized in the chapel of the jai: on the morning of the 7th of No- vember, 1873:— Jobn C, Harris, native of Massachusetts, infidel. Thomas Walter Williams, native of Manchester, Protestant. Leopoldo De Gray, native of Havana, Protestant. Willtam Baynard, native of the United States, Protestant, Ezeguiel Burham, Island, Protestant. Allred Hassel, native of Great Britain, Protes- tant, William Ross, native of Ardrossen, Scotland, Protestant. Edward Day, native of the United States, Prot- estan. Samuel Hard, colored, native of Nassau, Jew. Waiter J. Price, native of England, Protestant. James Samuel, colored, native of Westmoreland, Protestant, Leopoldo Renner, native of Curacao, Protestant. Francis Gcod, colored, native of the United States, Protestant. Fred Williamson, native of Albany, Protestant, Samuel Brown, native of Nassau, Protestant. Andres Frank, native of Bermuda, Protestant, ‘fhomas Grigg, native of Barbados, Protestant. sou Brown, native of the United States, Prot- estaut. George Thomas, native of Jamaica, Protestant. The conversiou, however, of the above unfortu- Mates apparently did not procure for them a Christian or decent burial, inasmuch as efter they were “slaughtered” together with the remaining 17. The British Consut at Santiago de Cuba says it took their executioners nearly seven minutes to finish them, The uniortunates, or what remained of them, were thrown into a cart, without cofins oranything else, and all dumped into a ditch, which was covered with earth, No further executions have taken place since the 8th. Fifty-three is the number of the victims up to that date. The officer of the Tornado states that further executions would probably take place, as ONE HUNDRED AND TWO had up to the date of nis leaving Santiago de Cuba been condemned to death, A correspondence irom Santiago de Cuba, pub- lished in the Diario, in reierence to the reported assertion of Bembeta, that the capture of the ex- pedition was of greater importance than at first Spree states that the expedition of the Vir- ginius was expected to coincide with a general conspiracy in both departments and in the Cinco Villas, ‘The recent arrests made o! prominent per- sons at Holguin, Gibara and other places also tend to support this statement, Regarding tuis conspiracy, the Voz de Cuba says that its proportions are found tobe vaster and nuore ramified than at first believed to be; that it undoubtedly extended in all the Eastern Depart- ment, in Puerto Principe, Cinco Villas, and even in Havana; but that its failure has been complete. The success of the Virginius was counted upon to aid a movement towards the Cinco Villas, for the purpose of destroying the coming crop of this fertile department, aud even, if possible, part of tue Western Department. The schemes of the laborantes in Havana were also depended upon; but, the Voz adds, they are all disconcerted at the failure of their plans and are well known. Perhaps the 1ollowing malicious paragraph, pub- lished yesterday by the Voz, may be taken in con- nection with this matter :— We are well informed by confidential sources that last night several important meetings of the laborantes were held in various houses of this capital, If the authorities could only iollow up their track —-—"’ The Voz declares the colored, native of Turks DISCOVERY OF THE CONSPIRACY as providential, and says :—‘As Providence has put into our hands the thread of the plot, we ought not to lose the opportunity, but show ourselves in the application of the law"—the Voz 1s a specialist in scenting blood—“as energetic as we ought to be without occupying ourselves much or little what foreigners Will say or do, We are masters of our own house, and able to govern our own affairs and dejend our rights.” With further reierence to this affair, the rumor was circulated a@ day or two since of the exe- cution of 42 of the individuals arrested at Holguin, but last advices, according to the Voz, are that 17 persons have been executed. The Diario de Cien- Juegos, in speaking on the same subject, asserts that the time allowed to the Virginius in her chase ‘was long enough for them to throw overboard and destroy papers and documents, arms and ammuni- tion destined to aid the cause of the rebels in this island—the papers and documents especially which would: have, perhaps, served to explain the mo- tives and ends of the recent conspiracy. THE RECENT ARRESTS IN THIS CITY, upon the arrival of the steamer City of New York, ol a number of her passengers, charged with intro- ducing insurgent correspondence, and in conse- quence of various parties ashore—which your cor- respondent duly reporied—is also taken as in con- nection with the Holguin conspiracy and the Vir- ginius expedition, Letters irom Gibara to the 10th appear to cor- roborate these statements, and further state that the town of Auras, situated between Holguin and Gibara, 18 Dow used as a jail for the many persons under arrest against whom exist strong suspicions of being implicated in the plot. A lieutenant of volunteers named Mario was killed upon attempt. ing the arrest of some of the parties. A captain of volunteers, José Maria Martrapa, a native of the island, upon learning of the order of his arrest, being complicated in the conspiracy, blew out his brains, The court martial in charge of the cases is sitting under the protection of Colonel Espon- das’ column, otherwise an attack from the insur- gents under Vicente Garcia wouid be dreaded, This is the tenor of the reports whicn I find pub- lished in the Havana and island journals, and give evidently a contradiction to the assertion of the game Spanish press that the majority of the initabi- tants of the island are loyal. fo doubs the Spaniards in the majority are, put the NATIVES MOSTLY ARE INIMICAL to Spain and want nothing from their step-mother, as they call the mother country of the Spaniards, The Havanr, Spanish press is indignant and arro- gant at the press and general tone of discussion adopted throughout the United States, in regard to the capture of the Virginius, THE INSULT TO THE AMERICAN FLAG and precipitate proceedings on the execution of the bebadk tt Who were in the vessel. give the following extracts from an artic! the Diario de la Marina, dated the 15th instant which may be estimated as the oMcial opinion on the Virginius aifair, as the Diario is considered the leading journal of the moderate unconditional Spaniards in this island, the Voz de Cuda bein the “ferocious champion.”’ The article is headed, “Lo de Siempre,” that, is “The same old story,” and commences:—~“Ever since the New York HRRALD made the arrest of its correspondent, O'Kelly, a casus belli, we should not be surprised at anything @ppearing in the columns of that most popular of Alnerican journals. The capture of the Steamer Virginius has given a pretext for the most aasionate declamations from the journals of the inion, We, strong in our right and with the frm resolve to comfort ourselves well, have su@jctent calmness to hear them without returning insult for insult, only again stating that threats in no Wise intimidate us, because to-day we repeat what We said tive years ago to the supreme govern. | ment, ‘Save the honor of the nation, come what may, abd think not of consequences.’ ” At this paint the Diario quotes with praise the opinion of the Courrier des Etats Unis (written be- jore the captain and crew of the Virginius were made “slaughtered hecatombs),” to the effect that inorder to warrant the present capture of the Virginius it must be proved she carried @ fillbuster expedition, bound to Cuba. This the Diario states it can prove d@ priori and d@ postiori, Priori by the reported accounts and announcements in the HERALD, the Sun, Pribune, La Revolucion, La Independencia and other journals of the American press relating to the departure of the Virginius, its arrival dt and stay in Kingston; the trip of the Atlas and many other reports referring to the ex- pPeditioniste, who were leaving from diferent “points of the United States to join aud complete the expedition headed by Bernabé Varona. It can be proved 4a postiori by the dec- laration of the captain, crew and ex- \peditionists of the Virginius, which appear m the proceedings of their trial(’) and by what is said regarding the capture by the very organs of the insurrection. In support of this assertion the Diario cites the Revolucion, which, it says, deciares that more than 150 well known Cubans were on board. ‘These 150 Cubans,” con- tinues the Diario, ‘mentioned by La Kevolucion comprised the ara npg expedition bound to Cuba conducted on the Virginius, according to their own confession, and here, then, is the proof asked fc. by the Courrier, given by the very revel- lion, the proof which legitimates the capture, and which serves a8 a basis for the legitimacy of the judicial proceedings which have been its natura) consequence, As to Spanish ferocity, THAT PEROCITY PARDONED HIS LIFE and returned to liberty Santa Rosa, the pirate of the steamer Comanditario, and the first use he made of it was to insult Spain in a vile pamphiet and to Work in aid of the rebels, and, according to the HERALD, went to Kingston to form part oi the pnemalos expedition. The Revolucion adds, ‘Let Spain proceed as she wishes, we ask no mercy tor her victims.” “But we,” says the Diario, “do not share that indifference. We see with the greatest feeling all the biood that is shed, and our pain and regret is increased at seeing the bling obstinacy for which ingratitude, in many cases, and pertidy in many more, makes ghe punishment necessary. ‘When Spain has satd—"Come to me and you will receive pardon and forgetiuiness,” she has been replied to, ‘We want nothing of Spain and nothing with Spain,” and thus Spain, who, like a generous loving mother, took the firat step to a reconcilia- tion, has had to defend herself, and defending her- sell, has had to punish. Let us here reproduce a paragraph from La Revolucion which we consider quite important :— “If the governments of the United States and of Great Britain do not wish to see themselves ex- posed to this kind of vexatious conilicta, if they de- sire to free themselves trom diplomatic complica- tions and international disputes, let them recog- nize the belligerency of Cuba; let them admit a fact which none can deny without injustice; and we Will then not use their ships nor their fags, nor will they have to debate our interesis,”? In this last, asserts the Diario, will the HERALD find full justification for the capture of the Virginius, Tne rebels of Cuba confess, without secresy, that they avaii themselves o1 the American and English ships and flags to COVER THEIR FILIBUSTERING EXPEDITIONS against Spanish territory, and this confession not only legitimates the capture of the Virginius and ‘Whomsoever might be found on board o: her, but 18 at least a warning for the Washington govern- ment, which, far from establishing reclamations on account of aseizure so well tounded, should prevent the manwuvres of those who abuse the flag and vessels oi the American Union. “They pretend to extenuate the responsibility of this abuse by saying that all the fault belongs to the government of the United States, because it has nee recognized belligerent rights for the rebels of Cuba. “President Grant has said in one of his mes- sages that he had not recognized nor was it pos- sible to grant belligerent rights to the Cuban re- bels, because they had never reunited, and did not at the time possess those conditions which international law requires as necessary for @ neutral power to recognize such rights, We are of the same opinion as General Grant, but not be- cause we fear the possibility of such a recog- nition, We are the partisans of well defined situa- tions, and more than once have said we would like to see all the Island of Cuba in a state of war and blockade, for the easter and exact application of the laws which govern such exceptional situations. The privateers which it is said the in- surgents would fit out would then be treated as pirates by our own navy.” AS no Spanish patriotic article is com- plete without a little bombast and reference to former glory, the Diario goes on, after relerring to another “hur”? by La Revolucion upon Spaniards 1 the present day, to say :— ‘It is false that we do not recognize what there is of real progress in modern times, but true enough that we miss those centuries of glory in which none offended the Spain of Charies V." and Poillip Li. without receiving prompt punishment. WE WOULD NOT BE TRUE SPANIARDS did we not worship, even to exaggeration, the grandeur of our country. Poor, torn and feeble as -she is by the dissensions of her children, yet we Jove her with filial affection; respect her, and are Teady to shed the last drop of our blood for her; but, true it is, that we would like to see her flourishing, strong and dreaded. However, such as she is, 8he cannot forget that she 1s called Spain and that her arms are lions.”” The Diario refers to the statement that great joy and illumination abounded in Havana, and concludes the article 1 am quoting from thus:— “Che capture of the expedition destined to bring new Cvils upon us, nas been celebrated in Havana and out ol it, but God knows (1) that it has not been celebrated any more than generous hearts ought and should celebrate it. The volunteers of the island of Cuba have in nowise mixed in the consequences of its seizure, and the Courts of War and Marine have acted with the independence due to the judges who formed them and the functions they exercised. The Spaniards resident in the Island of Cuba have greatly deplored all that has happened, whether sad, mourniul or terrible, in this province since October, 1868, and HER FIELDS ARE NOT COVERED WITH BLOOD and ashes through their fault. If Cuba is not to-day @ desert, 1t is due to the abnegation of the loyal.’” On the other hand, La Legaitdad (republican), is the only journal that has had sufficient civil and moral courage to lament and to decry the hasty and wholesale massacre lately perpetrated by the authorities of Cuba, and has calmiy and dignifiedly | expressed its sentiments thereon, but of course, without directly alluding to the slaughter, as the censor wouid then have had a word tosay. The article referred to is very ably written, entitled “It ds Deplorable.” I make the following extracts from this article, which gives the opinion, un- eatery 80, Of @ very small number,of Spaniards n Cuna:: “In the critical period through which this country is now passing, and when its pacification is ad- mitted to be @ supreme necessity of national in+ terest, it is stupendous that passion should become so unrestrained in such @ manner and with so much jury that certain men appear more as if possessed of devils thansrational beings.” * * * * “More than once do we ask ourselves if we are on Spanish soli; if we were really born in the nine- teenth century ; IF IT 18 NOT A DREAM that we have yet come out of those barbarous times, Known as the Iron Age; if we belong to the same race as the men relerred to, because it ap- pears that only a womb of evil could have con- ceived and brought us to light, to tear and rend each other like irreconciliable enemies. It is 1m- possible for hate to be more concentrated and lormidable even in those remote times ef history, when the beasts disputed with man step by step the possession of tbe earth, ofended at the pre- sence of a rational being, and diverse reason di- vided the human family into savage tribes, without other law thaa that of bloody reprisals.” “What passes now in this unfortunate land where nature is adorned with all the splendor of Vegetation, and which is favored with a balmy clime, a sky pure and serene, and the tecund rays of a lervent sun, that a pall of sadness, of grief and of death should be spread in black and gloomy folds over the spirits of all, over the anxious minds of ail its inhabitants 1? “Why are terror and fright depicted in every countenance ? and a man cannot look at his neigh- bor without the suspicious cautions of an enemy; friend cannot salute friend without the mistrust of suspicion; the husband cannot stretch out his hand to his wife without his breast being op- ressed by agonizing doubt; nor can the father look upon his son without his eyes filling with tears ana his heart with distrust.” eA! happens in this country where fury ex- hausts all the taunts of language, ail the insults and all the most wicked and unjust accusations— where reason holds no sway, where the eyes and ears are brutally shut to every noble action, to every generous word and peaceful argument— where everything is put aside save VIOLENCK, PERSECUTION, BARBARITY AND DEATH ?"” * * * “What happens in this country precisely at those critical moments when the legitimate authority, wishing to attend to the necessity of peace, recommends with paternal solicitude pru- dence and moderation, and it appears as if all the furies let loose from hell had risen in tumult and diabolical protest against the holy and imperious desire of peace and concord between brotuers !"" “Is all truce and repose impossible’ Has a formal Lea ah been made with death? Is a day as great and glorious as that upon which the New World was discovered yet in store for Spain’? Has the fatal moment been reserved to convert the only fragment of that brilliant conquest into a ferocious hecatomb of her children so fratricidally torn to pieces.” “It is impossible to think over, to discuss or to analyze any ol the grief which overwhelms us to obtain a remedy under the implacable anathema of enemies, under the unheard of threat of the brus tal rancor of the mob,” “Woe to those who thus excite the hatred of the ignorant mass. They will be swept away in the current themselves, because fury and barbarism iead only to desolation and ruin, And indeed we cannot understand that vertigo which appears to have seized certain spirits; neither Now certain writers can drag pub- he aifairs into the road to sure perdition, A warmth of style and even the slip of a pen, wielded with that feeling and precipitation which journalistic affairs exact, can be conceived of but to fill, aay by day, @ daily sheet (this refers princi- pally wo the Voz de Cuba) with diatribes, more like jowing streams of lava or burning lakes than a prolonged exultation of insanity.” All these remarks of the Legalidad are princi- ally directed against the ultra radical Voz de and the Legalidad counsels calmness in the Giacussion of present political matters; that the supreme interest of the country demands that everything = should be the high and of nationality ace lofty sentiment and all passions should be restrained. be arrived at by offending men?” “No; this is not the way O! reason but of madness; ‘tis not the labor of vigorous Intelligence but of diseased minds,” exciaims La Legalidad, and concludes by saying that the mind, excited and offended, really believes itis altogether right and that it is at- tacked on the ground of insult, because it will | Bever be convinced, ‘The Diario of the day before yesterday heads its editorial columns with @ warning against the num- ber of false rumors, concerning the purport of telegrams said to be received from New York and Madrid, Tuis isin reierence to the reports that such had been received, putting the island inea state of deience and other rumors of the same ik, It has also b denied that THE CAPTAIN GENERAL HAD SENT IN BIS RESIGNA- ‘TION.

Oakey Hall a court clown, and there are many ovuer fine touches of clownalism, OFF FOR CUBA. — The United States Steamship Powhatan and Monitor Manhattan Gone to Seca— Sketch of Captuin Beaumont’s Navy Reeord, ON BOARD UNITED STATES STEAMSHIP POWHATAN, Orr Care May, Noy. 25, 1873, } The Powhatan, Captain J. C, Beanmont, is now under way for Cuban waters; the pilot will leave us in a few minutes and I take this opportunity of despatching a few farewell words. ‘The monitor Manhattan was towed ont from the Navy Yard on Saturday evening amid the most patriotic enthusiasm on the part of a large number of civilians who had assembied on the South wharf. The formidable little “raft and cheese-box,” as the officers of the Merrimac are said to have denomi- nated the first monitor, made her way slowly down the river and anchored for the night near League Island, where she was to take on severai tons of shot and shell. The final loading was prosecuted thronghout the night and in the morning was in perfect readiness for sea. The Powhatan left the yard on Sunday at one o'clock, The amount of provisions and stores taken on board indicated that the cruise was expected to be alengthy one. Tne Powhatan steamed on down the Delaware and on passing the Manhattan, dipped ber colors, ‘The turrets of 20 monitors could be seen acrogs the island, indicating that the government, even now, is not wholly unprepared for naval warfare. Signaling the Manhattan to follow in the morning, the Powhatan proceeded down over the bar and anchored, A heavy rain set in about dusk and continued all night.~ About two o’clock on Monday, the Powhatan again started for the ocean, The monitor Manhattan proceeded down to the breakwater under steam, Commander Yates deeming it prudent to test the engines of his ves- sel before going to sea. The experiment was in every Way satisfactory, and to-day the Powhatan took her in tow, and, passing Cape May, with its vast array of unoccupied hotels, neaded out to sea. There is a strong wind blowing from the northeast, whicn betokens heavy weather outside. A very rough passage is anticlpated. Should the wind increase to a gale we shall Tun into Hampton Roads or Norfolk. GOOD METAL ON BOARD. Captain Beaumont ts remarkable alike for his utter fearlessness of danger in rough weather as well as in the face of the enemy. The terrific cyclone which the Powhatan encountered on the trip from New York, and in which the United States ship Suppiy was nearly lost, is characterized by him, however, as “rather severe.” On board the Powhatan the barometer fell to 28.75, and the ves- sel was compelled to go almost 100 miles to sca aiter the Cape May light had been sighted, A NAVAL OPFICER’S RECORD. I mus; say a lew words avout Captain Beaumont. He has a reputation throughout the navy for the Most unflinching courage during an engagement, and itis intimated by the ward room ottices that should there be a naval fight apywhere in Cuban waters the Powhatan will “bear a hand’ if she possibly can. Captain Beaumont entered the navy as midshipman 1m 1838, and made the cruise of the West Indies in the trigate Constitution and sloops Erie and Ontario. He then sailed, in 1840, on the Constitution for the East India squadron, where he remained three and a half He was promoted to past midshipman in He then joined the Gulf squadron, and served during a portion of the Mexican war in the Unio. He acted as acting lieutenant on the Irigate Columbia in 1847. The following year found the young officer attached to the coast survey. As master he served m the Mediterranean from 1849 to 1852, The two years following his return were passed in the Washington Observatory, during which time he was commissioned a lieutenant. Lieutenant Beaumont then saw service in the steamer San Jacinto, 1855; frigate Poto- mac, 1856; steam frigate Wabash, 1857; re- ceiving ship New York, 1859 and 1860, and sloop John Adams, 1861. Receiving bis com- mission as & commander in July, 1862, he was piaced in command of the gunboat Woodstock, on the James River. He commanded the gunboat Seago, 1863; then the monitor Nantucket, then the gunboat Mackinaw, 1864 and 1865; the the monitor Miantonomah, during her famous cruise along the coast of Europe in 1866 and 1867, As commander af the Woodstock Captain Beaumont was present with the flotilla under Commodore James gers in the attacks upon the forts on the James River. The Nantucket, under his command, participated in the bombardment of Fort Wagner, Charleston harbor. As commander of the Mackinaw he was present at all the engagements at Fort Fisher and on the Cape Fear River. As captain of the Pow- hatan he is now en roule for Cuban waters, and under “the fighting Commodore” Rodgers the men on board may look for lively times. The pilot bout is alongside.

Enquirer says if war does come it will find men ready and organized to obey the order of “Un to Cuba!” The Enquirer is hot for war. The Boston Traveller is willing to go into a war, and says that a non-compliance on the part of Spain to our demands will be a war beyona much doupt. The Portiand (Me.) Press says when the Spanish government declines to act upon the demands of the United States it will be time enough to raise regiments and to get full of the war spirit. The Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal 1s not in favor of war, but it thinks the time must come, and it is not far in the future, when Spanish dominion will cease on the American Continent and in the West Indies. . The Marietta (Ohio) Times has taken down the sabra, and insists that the Spanish authorities shall be taught that America is both able and ready to defend her citizens in ail their lawful rights wherever found, The Columbia (S.C.) Phanix deprecates wan but says, if Spain should decline to make proper reparation, if she should fail to give guarantees against a repetition of these insults and outrages, then it will be time enough to take matters into our hands, The Philadelphia Age, a leading democratic or- gan, says that one thing is certain, this nation cannot afford to let the Cuban business pass over Without the fullest atonement from Spain, If she does, the old American doctrine in relation to the right of search will be trampled in the dust. Forney’s Philadelphia Press, the leading repub- lican organ, says:—‘‘We do not want war until the peaceful methods of diplomacy are exhausted,” But it also says that the atrocitiss perpetrated in Cuba constitute a casus belli, and our government would pernaps be justified eizing Cuba. The Ironton (Ohio) Journal would not object to @ little war provided it could be carried on to aid the establishment of a Cuban Repudlic and for the interest of humanity, but it refuses to take any stock in @ war for the acquisition of the island, The Savannah Advertiser and Republican is now an advocate for unnecessary bloodshed, but the complications with Spain, it says, seem to demand that the government of the United States should maintain what honor and dignity it may lay claim to by assuming @ bold and uncompromising atti- tude. This means war. The New Orleans Republican, the negro organ, ts for war. It says:—“If Spain cannot keep her mad bull from goring an unoffending neighbor, tnat mad’ bull must be impounded.” It further says aacrifived to J*"We must mark time, dress the line and then for- BN Ward on the march of history and duty, and take Cuba on the American, not on the European plan,” ‘The Sacramento (Cal.) Union says:—“A declara- tion of war by our government against Spain is hardly to be apprehendea. We have no quarrel With the Spanish Republic, A proclamation recog- nizing belligerent rights of the Cuban insurgents is all that is needed to make Cuba free and averta war between this country and Spain. The Mobile Register would be loath to gee this strong government make war on Spain during her present weakness, butit says the United States must send @ military force to the scene of the late outrages, demand the delivery of the authors of them for condign punishment, and, in case of re- fusal, to proceed to raze to the ground the city of Santiago de Cuba. If the government is finally forced to take Cuba, the Register says, it will in- augurate a duty that has long been shamefully neglected. DR. WOOLSEY’S OPINIONS LEGALLY DISSECTED. To THE Epyror or THE HERALD:— The opinions of Dr. Woolsey in re the Virginius and her crew are presented in a twofold aspect—the Justification of the capture under the plea of ne- cessity and the justification of the massacre by the independent rights of Spanish sovereignty. This order of things is, however, inversed in the treatment—a precedent borrowed, probably, from the laws of Spain, The crew is tried, convicted, shot, then captured, Starting with the general rule that “the inde- pendence of nations implies that they are the sole judges, each of them, as to what their laws and punishments shall be,” he takes it for granted that the prisoners recelyed the full benefit of that su- preme law, anda immediately enters upon the dis- cussion as to whether civilized nations are justified by “a violation of national sovereignty” to ‘‘re- monstrate, and, if unheeded, take further steps.’ This he is incapable of deciding, not having sufl- cient light upon the subject, Evidently the news of this horrible butchery has not yet reached the quiet New England home of the learned Doctor. NOT LEGALLY TRIED UNDER SPANISH | MUNICIPAL LAW. We must take issne with the implied premises in the argument, and hold that the Captain and pas- convicted under the municipal laws of Spain, because— f First—The tribunal was not legally conatituted. Spain being in a state of peace, she had no power to authorize the penalty of death except by the decision of a judicial tribunal founded upon eum- cient evideuce, with the proper opportunity of defence. The crew of the Virginius were denied this right and sentenced by a ‘drum head’ court martial, and shot by Spanish volunteers, and all this in time ofpeace. Spain was estopped by her own acts and assertions from assuming war powers, She cannot purchase war material from a neutral State as aright of peace, and then deny that right In others as contraband of war. She cannot punish armed insurgents as traitors and pirates and at the same time exercise the war rights of blockade and search. Neither can she assert tothe world that she is in peace and then defena her acts or punish her criminals by the tribunals of war. Having elected peace, she must abide by the rules of peace, Second—The Court, if legally constitutea, had no jurisdiction over the crime of Captain Fry, because it was not committed within the municipal terri. tory or jurisdiction of Spain, neither was it piracy jure gentium. Third—It had no jurisdiction over his person. It is a well recognized rute in all civilized nations that jurisdiction cannot be gained by force or fraud, and it is admitted that the captare was not made either upon the land or waters of Spain. Fourth—The Courts of Spain could not acquire jurisdiction over elther the person or the crime of the prisoner, because the offence was committed on the open sea and not in a Spanish vessel. All authorities combine that the territory of the coun- try to which the vessel belonged is the place of of. fence, and that the offenders must be tried by the tribunals of his country. (Philiimore’s International Law, Vol. 1, p. 409; Vattei’s Law of Nations, 1. 1, sec. 216.) hether she was or not an American vessel it is admitted that she was not Spanish, aud her offence could not, therefore, be punished by Spanish law or a Spanish tribunal. Fifth—It does not yet appear that Captain Fry ever committed any crime for which he was amen- able to the laws of Spain, He was not a pirate, as there was no animus furandi. He was not a | traitor, as he owed no allegiance to Spain, He could not have vroken her municipal laws, as ne had never been within her municipal territory. he could not be answerable for the prior acts of the Virginius, as he had then no power or control over her. He was not guilty of a breach of neutrality, as there was no war. Upon the whole we shall be happy to have Dr. Woolsey in his next public address to the law class of Yale College point out some of the legal crimes for which Captain Fry’s death penalty was justly rendered by the inde- pendent nationality of Spain. Sizth—The rule, as stated by the learned doctor, that each nation is the sole judge of its laws and punishments, must be restricted to the citizens of that nation. As to foreign citizens, municipal law suborns to and is limited by the solemn compact of treaties. [tis admitted that Captain Fry was an American citizen. Article 7 of the Treaty of 1795, petyecn the United States and Spain, reads as fol- ows :— And it is agreed that the subjects and citizens of each of the contracting parties, their vessels or effects, shall not be liable to any embargo or detention on the part of the other for any military expedition, or other public or private purpose whatever: And ih all cases of selzure, etention, or arrest tor debts contracted, or offences committed by any citlzen oF subject of one party within the jurisdiction of the other, the same shall be made and prosecuted by order and authority of law only, and ac- cording to the regular course of proceedings usual in such cases, The citizens and subjects of both parties shall pe allowed to employ such advocates, solicitors, notaries, agents and factors as they may judge proper in all their trials at law in which they may be concerned before the tribunals of the other party, and such agents shall h free access to be present at the proceedings in in such causes and at the taking of all examinations ‘and evi- dence which may be exhibited in the said trial (vol. 8 U. S. Statutes at Large, p. 142). The treaty forbids the right of detention and trial except for personal offences committed within the jurisdiction of Spain. Beth the capture and the subsequent trial were, therefore, illegal. But even if the offence were committed within such jurisdiction, and were, therefore, triable by the courts of Spain, the rights guaranteed by this sol- emn compact, which, in the eye of the law, is superior to all courts, were deniea to the American citizens captured upon the Virginius. Granting, therefore, to Spain everything she claims, as to the character of the Virginius and the acts of her crew, she stands convicted by her own records of the wilful murder of American citizens. An illegal trial isno trial, and capital punishment without trial is murder. THE CAPTURE ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. In defending the capture of the Virginius the learned Doctor steps out nto the broad principles of international law. But here he seems to ignore the fact that upon the open sea there is another power beyond and above international law, and that is the law of treaties. Jure gentium is the common law of nations; treaties are the statute law. The former governs only in the absence and under the modification of the latter. We must look first to our treaty, and here we find that American ships and American citizens are not liable to capture or detention by Spain except within her jurisdiction. As it is admitted that the crime, if apy, Was committed upon the open seas and not within, the jurisdiction of Spain, the capture Was illegal so far as American citizens were concerned. If the vessel Was owned by Americans then the embargo and detention of the vessel was also illegal, and for the purposes of this act any vessel registered as Ameri- can, duly cleared as an American, bearing an American flag and carrying American papers and all the insignia of American ownership, is prome Jacie an American vessel. The law imputes wron; to no one, and a@ false clearance is a fraud an cannot be accepted by implication. Judge Story, ip the case of The Exchange (7, Cranch, 1,151), holds that “the commission of a ublic ship, when duly authenticated, so far at least as foreign courts are concerned, imports ab- solute verity and the title is not examinable,”’ The reason of the rule is that, bear! the national stamp of ownership, the power that conferrea that insignium is the proper tribunal of its rights and abuses. his does not apply to an American merchant vessel in a foreign port, as she cannot there claim territorial jurisdiction over her crew and passengers, ‘But,’ says Dr. Philimore, in his excellent treatise on interna- tional law, “in one event the difference between the mercantile and military marine does not affect the question of jurisdiction, that is when navigating the open sea. The reason being the same, the object—protection of territorial juris- diction—being the same, why is not the rule the same?” If so, then, admitting that the title to the Virginius was in the Cubans, the fact that she was commanded by an American citizen, that her insignia Were American, and her ownership was perfect. So far as Spain is concerned she is an American vessel and her de- tention on the open sea illegal and in violation of treaty compacts. But if she is'an American vessel So iar as Spain is concerned then she and all on board were by international law at the time of the commission of the crime and of the capture within | the territorial jurisdiction of the ed Lie Fe only Sarees Cg iy a0 pare heaton, p. 198; more, vol. 1, p. 409. ANSWER to DR. WOOLSEY AS TO THE NECESSITY OF 'URB. Waowey, ts was a case of nec- see about that, Ne- “But,” says Dr. essary self-defence.” Let either aefence or a miti- gation. earked Doctor uses it in bath senses, fiy says, first, ‘That the ordinary rules of law do sengers of the Virginius were not legally tried and | 5 not meet the case, and the capture was, therefore, justifiable Jor the sake of’peace.” He next asserts that the violation of neutrality was necessary, and the circumstances called for instant action, How there could be a violation of neutrality where the rules of neutrality law were not applicable he does not definitely state. Necessity is only a ae- fence within the prescribed limits orin the absence of law, and we have seen that in this case the ordinary rules of the law are applicable, But 1s this @ case where unioreseen circumstances call for instant action and permit a violation of neutrality? On the contrary it was the legitimate outgrowth of the policy of Spain, as predicted long since by the State Department of this government. To give herself the right to use America as @ convenient base of supplies Spain proclaimed that she was ip a State of peace and then coolly asserts neutrality to protect the exercise of those rights by the enemy. And because, forsootn, the Cubans at- tempted, in their national sovereignty, to exercise the same national rights she hold up her bands in holy horror and raises the cry of “filibusters and pirates” and covers their capture and massacre as @necessary violation of neutrality on the ground of self-detence, THE INSULT TO THE AMERICAN FLAG. But the ture, bringing in and subsequent Massacre are, in fact, hut one act, or at the Most a series of concurrent acts, predetermined and entire. Does the learned Doctor hold that 1¢ was necessary for the preservation of peace that the national fag of America should in o time of peace be tor down and replaced by that of Spain, and that an Ameri- Cin vessel should be tried and condemned in a Cuban port and by a Cuban tribunal when the poe of America were open for her adjudication? Did the cause of humanity or public peace require that Captain Fry, who had never stepped upon Cuban shores or violated the municipal, laws of Beale should be massacred by Spanish volun ers THE CAROLINE, KOSZTA AND THE CAGLIARI. As to the case 0] the Caroline, she was boarded in the night time within the jurisdiction of New York State by Canadian loyalists, set on fire, sent down the stream, precipitated over the talls and dashed in pieces. An American citizen named Durfer was killed and others were wounded. One McLeod, a British subject, was arrested in New | ¥ork State for the murder. of Durier. The British government demanSed his surrender on the ground solely that he was acting | | under authority, and that therefore the govern- ment Was alone aaswerable for his acts, As be- tween the lwo nations this was che only point at is- sue, Mr. ster, pending the discussion, was ap- pointed Secretary of State. When anew demand was made hy Great Britain he assented to tne English view wat it was the act of the government of Great Britain, and not the Individual act of the prisoner. Whatever was said outside of this issue by either of the parties was obiter and cannot be entitled to the Pore of @ precedent, Tue State of New York having legally acquired civil jurisdiction, retused to give up the | prisoner. This complicate the matter, but, lortunately, at the trial a verdict was rendered | of not guilty upon the facts, 1 can see no ap- plicability of the Koszta to the present case, The case of the Cagliari (Martims’ Cuuses Célébres, v, 600) comes the nearest to the facts in the case of the Virginius, and the opinions given by Drs. Twiss and Phillimore, substantiate the views given in this artucle, I have but one other authority, and before giving it we must bear in mind that when the capture of the Virginias was effected she carried its vature, except the Officers of the Cuban army, WOULSEY VS. WOOLSEY, Dr. Woolsey, in his standard treatise upon inter: national law, in speaking of the case of the Trent, sSays:—*On this transaction we may remark, first, that there is no process known to international law by which @ nation may extract irom @ neutral ship on the high sea @ _hos- tile ambassador, a traitor, or any criminal whatavever, Nor can any neutral ship be brought in for adjudication on account of having such pas- sengers on board.’” ‘This not only Splice to the case of the Virginius, bot also to the rights of the British government in the supposed case, concluding the opinion given by the learned Doctor in A. D. 1873. ONLY A SAILOR, To THE EpiTor oF THE HERALD:— Tam a naval officer in the service of Her Britan- nic Majesty, and feel at a loss to answer the following questions I have asked myselfmore than once during this discussion on the capture of the American merchant craft Virginius, First—If I had been in command of a United States frigate lying at Santiago de Cuba when the Tornado arrived with the Virginius in tow I should have demanded to assume joint possession of the vessel, and If the Spaniard had retused, as pro- bably he would have done, I shouid have sunk bis ship. would the United States government have sustained my action? Second—Ifl had been difident about interfering and had stood by during the executions, would the United States government have approved iy in- action? Third—if I had arrived at Santiago de Cuba while the so-called trials were in progress and had demanded a suspension of the summary [ees ings; but, disregarding such protest, had the authorities, after executing the first three cap- tives, proceeded to the conviction of the others; had | landed my blue jackets and taken-possession of the surviving prisoners, and if my men and my ship had been fired on by the Spaniard; had I re- duced the town of Santiago to ashes and taken the Tornado in tow of the Virginius into Key West, would the United States government have sus- tained my action? If the answer be in the affirmative it raises this embarrassing issue:—An American navat officer has the power of making war in the presence of ab emergency, but the ecutive of the United States is not justified jn dealing with the national honor and interests inthe same way.

Arraignment of Maggie Jourdan, Sarah Allen and Lawrence Philips at General Sessions=They Plead Not Guilty. There was nothing positively new which trane spired at the Tombs yesterday in reference to the Sharkey case. Warden Johnson is still working at it and gleaming information from any and what- ever sources he possibly can and has managed very adroitly to secure a great deal of strong evi- dence, circumstantial and direct, against the two women imprisoned. He ts working faithfully in the case and ardently hopes to be successful, Maggie Jourdan and Sarah Alien are still under the care of Mrs. Foster. They have no extra luxuries and complain. bitterly of the cold they have to endure in their cells They were visited by their counsel yester- day morning and afternoon. They will be brought before Judge Davis at the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner to-day, where the writ of habeas corpus 1p their benalf will be fully argued. Maggie Jourdan is smiling and hopeful of the result. Sarah Allen, oa the contrary, is dogged, silent, and still defiant. She contends that she is entirely innocent and that she has been maliciously persecuted in this affair, About two o’clock yesterday afternoon two officers of the General ssions called at the prison and conducted Maggie Jourdan, Sarah Allen and ex-Keeper Lawrence Phiilips to the Court of General Sessions. The three walked out together and were met at the entrance by Maggie’s brother. They then waiked down Centre street, chatting: quite pleasantly as they went, shortly after arriv- ing at their destination and settling themselves in their assigned places. The Grand Jury came into Court with a bundle of indictments st prison- ers now detained in the Tombs for larcenies and burglaries. Among the bills was the one against Margaret Jourdan, Sarah Allen and Law- rence Philips for aiding William J. key, ‘ the condemned murderer, to es- cape trom the City Prison, ‘ey were subsequently arraigned. The first of the prisoners calted to the bar was ‘Maggie’? Jourdan. Her counsel asked leave to interpose a formal plea of not guilty, witn the privilege of withdrawing it if be saw sip to do so pon @n examination of the in- Assistant District Attorney Russell had no ob- Jection to that, and, accordingly, the clerk marked “not guilty” on the indictment. Counsel then said that the committing magis- trate had fixed the bail at $10,000, which he thought was too much for & woman in poor circumstances. She had been suffering under a severe illness, and ‘was now aiflicted witha h, which appeared to be incipient consumption. “fhore were no fires in the cells at the Tombs, and confinement tnere was detrimental to her heaith. The City Judge said the object of ball was to fx it at an amount which would secure the attend- ance of the party. His Honor did not know thas she had anything to attach ner to this city except Sharkey. The Court inquired if she was married, and was informed that she was not. ‘Assistant District Attorney Russell stated that it ‘was the intention of the prosecation to try the case the first of next Term. Aaving received that information, Judge Suther- land declined to reduce the bail, Miss Jourdan was remanded, Sarah Allen and Lawrence Phil- ips were arraigned and pleaded not guilty, ROSA CARPENTER'S DEATH IN THE HOS PITAL, ‘ Coroner Herrman yesterday morning received information that Rosa Carpenter, the woman alleged to have been pushed down a fight of stairs at No. 13 Jersey street on Wednesday of last woek by James Maloney, who, al stated ceased, kicked ner in the ‘once and. aiea tn Bellevue Hospital from the Toots of te injorion i ed, Deputy Coroner Leo subsequent made pki on the body, and found s aaieabon or the cervical vertebra downwards, preasi: on the spinal cord, which was the cause of deat Au ID- quest will be held in the case on Monday nexy 4 inrv was yesterday empanelled jp the case, te
