Havawa, Nov. 20, 1873. The excitement here continues to be intense. Americans ara called arrogant and intolerant, jand are looked upon by the populace as ene mies Of the country. It is currently rumored that the Captain Genoral has sent his resigna- ttion to the home governinant. I should not ‘wonder if this were true, tor it is a well aiown fact that the Casino Expafiol has not lost | wen opportanity, since the Virginius difi- | otlty arose, of thwarting him in all his efferta to put the country in aceord with the action of the Madrid Ministry, or even to make such prepatations Of defence as the forts absolutely needed, whould « war be the restlt, ‘Tho Vigilante and the Isabella la Catolien are now in tho har- or and there is @ constant comnimnication \going on between the military and naval au- \thorities.

Efforts are beiug and have been nade to provide against any outbreak of popa- lar feeling, and, so far us possible, prevent the full story of the Virgisius from being igno- rantly discussed. Americun residents feel dis- graced that thelr government has not sent to | this harbor a single war ship, leaving the whole field open to the Casino Espaiiol to do as itlikes.

"— a very pleasant piece of information, no doubt, to the person concerned. But Herap corre- spondents have got to do their duty like other American citizens, and are not in the habit of being intimidated by empty clamor. The late decree of the Minister of Ultra- marine promulgated here, in relation to the restoration of embargoed properties to Ameri- can citizens, is strongly opposed by the Spanish clubs. The press is also strong in its expressions. ‘The Voz de Cuba to-day says; — “We await issues with great calmness and firmness.

The action of the Spanislt Congress in substituting a civil gov- ernment for the military one in Vvorto Rico, and of providing for the abolition of slavery on that island, with the inference that the same poitcy would be adopted in Cuba as soon aa the pacifica- tion of that island should have been accomphsued was announced, and was received with satisiac- tion by our government. Immediately aiter, however, a meeting, com- posed of the !gading personages belonging to the | several reactionary parties opposing tie Cabinet was held. to defeat the measures of colonial re- | form. Carlists, Alfonsinos, conservative consti- tutionalists, moderados and colonial ciubs united inthe movement. Among the prominent actora | were the Duke de la Torre, Admiral Topete, Sefor Sagasta and others, who were mentbers of previous Cabinets. This feelmg grew ia intensity. All the reactionary parties rivalled each other in crying, “Danger to Spanish | unity,"? “Our colonies are lost’? and “Treason in the palace.” Meetings were heid in all the princi- pal towns under the auspices of societies inter- ested in the trade with tue coionies. Agents of | the slaveholders in Cuba and Porto Rico used ail kinds of appliances intended to gain over or to | silence the iriends of emancipation.

From Cuba came the announcement, by cable, that 70,000 volunteers bnited in the demand | that no reforms be granted to Porto Rico while an | insurgent survived in Cuba. This feeling culminated in the capital in an armed demonstration in the streets, The carriage of the Prime Ministet was attacked, and it was alleged that the United States had a secret com- pact with the Cabinet binding the latter to a pol- icy deseribed as degrading to Spanish honor and dangerous to national interests, Despite these disturbances the Spanish Congress, on December | 22, 1872, accepted the colonial policy favorable to the abolition of slavery, bya decided majority.

During these agitations Sefor Emilio Gastelar, the present Lead of the Spanish government, in tue Chamber o/ Deputies, made an effective speech in favor of the immediate abolition. of slavery in the island of Porto Rico. The announcement of a new colonial embracing the im- mediate abolition of slavery, municipal liberty and qualified provincial autonomy, followed by an emphatic endorsement of the programme im the popular branch of Congress, at once resulted in a Cabinet crisis, in which an entire reorgamization was necessary.
