Madrid, Dec. 13—Hamilton Fish, Sec
retary of State, Washington:—It is pub
lished semi-offieially that the Government
disapproves of my conduct iu the case of
the Yirginius. If iu opinion of the Pres
ident, my resignation would facilitate a
satisfactory termination of the question
or bo otherwise advantageous to the pub
lic interest, such resignation may be con
sidered as hereby respectfully tendered.
Sickles.
Washington, December G.—To Sickle*,
Minister utMudrid: The alleged publi
cation of disapproval of your conduct is
entirely unauthorized. No dissatisfaction
has been expressed or intimated, and it is
deemed important that you remain. Your
resignation at this time would not be ac
cepted, ns it would interfero with pros
pects of an accommodation. Fish.
Madrid, Docember 10.—To Hamilton
Fish, Secretary of State, Washington:
I respectfully request that my telegram
of tho 45th inst., tendering my resignation
and your reply of same date, may uow be
published. Sickles.
Washington, Dec. 17.—To Sickles,
Madrid : Your tonder of resignation was
only hypothical, and your telegram re
ferred to alleged publications unknown
here, attributing dissatisfaction which had
uot been expressed. Under these circum
stances publication i9 not deemed neces
sary, and cannot be authorized.
Fish.
Madrid, Dec. 20.—To Hamilton Fiah,
Secretary of State, Washington : I re
spectfully renew tho tender of my resig
nation, which T trust may be accepted
now, without interfering with tho pros

Connecticut Todacco.—The culture of
tobacco iu tho Connecticut Valley has
been so profitable that farmers have come
to rely upon it as their dependence. The
result is that they now find themselves
with two crops ou hand, with little pros
pect of obtaining any market for it, and □
possibility of ultimately obtaining very
low prices. More than this, the tobacco
is ruining the soil for other crops. Per
haps 25,000 cases, containing from 325 to
375 pounds each, would bo a tolerably
correct estimate of the amouut of 1872
tobacco iu the possession of the farmers
of New England, in addition to the con
siderably larger quantity, including the
tobacco on bund of previous years’ crops,
in the liunds of local speculators. On
top of this robundaut crop of 1872 is piled
the abundant one of this year.

THR l'RIVATEER “STEWART”
WATCHED IIY SPAIN—THR
SRIUR OF CARTAGENA
Havana, January 2.—A letter says that
intelligence has reached there that the
Edgar Stowart is being fitted out for Cu
ban service. The Tornado lias left the
port, and it is gen rally reported that
she has received orders to pursue the
Stewart, aud if she proves to be of the
same character as tho Yirginius, not to
take her, but sink her.
Madrid, January 2.—On Thursday
night a shell from the beseiging batteries
set fire to tho Insurgents’ iron-clad in tho
harbor of Cartagena. After burning for
three hours the fire reached tho magazine
which exploded with tremendous force,
damaging the vossel seriously.
WASHINGTON VIEW OF THR MFCS-
GESTED INDEMNITY DRAINI
NG GROUND FOlt IT.
Washington, January 2.—No official
information has been received confirma
tory of tho report from Madrid respecting
the indemnity to bo demanded by tho
Spanish Government in the case of the
Yirginius, nor is it probable that any
direct claim will be presented. Tho ad
justment of tho questions involved has
been arranged by the protocol of tho
representatives of the two countries. If,
at any future time, a bill of damages
should be presented, there is good ground
for stating that payment would be re
fused, on tho principle established by tho
Geneva tribunal, of disallowing indirect
or consequential damages. Therefore, it
can with certainty be stated that Spain
will not receive any money whatever
growing out of the transactions iu con
nection with tlio Yirginius, even if that
vessel had reached its destination and
been sold by the United States for a vio
lation of law.
Tho preparation of theJVirginins corres
pondence will be completed to-morrow,
and may bo sent to Congress Monday
uoxt. It is represented to be voluminous.
Spoakiug to-day of tho intelligence from
Havana, that the Tornado had left port,
and it was generally stated she had re
ceived orders to pursue the Edgar Stuart,
and if she proved to be of the suine char
acter ns the Yirginius, to sink her, a gen
tleman, high in official position, said tho
ignorance or the want of correct informa
tion on the pari of tho Spanish officers,
was never more apparent than in this in
stance, as it is known here the Edgar
Stuart is si ill at Baltimore), with no pros
pect of leaving for any port or destina
tion.
