Jowell and Major Schaaf were the judges.
Seriaus News from Spain.
Uadrid, November 20.—A Herald
fpecial of this date says the situation is
grave. There is a serious misunderstand
ing between Sickles and the Spanish Cab
inet On the arrival of the news of the.
capture of the Virginius, President Cas
par called at the United States legation
and expressed his regret and ordered a
suspension of the sentence.
When Secretary Pish telegraphed the
news of the execution, General Sickles
sent a note at two o’clock in the morn
ing, demanding a stay of proceedings.
The foreign secretary answered, ques
tioning the accuracy of the information
and intimated that Mr. Sickles’ action
was not authorized.
Thereupon Sickles, in the name of the
United States, addressed a formal pro
test again -t the inhuman hatcheries and
insult to the United States, and again de
manded that Spain should enforce obe
dience to her orders in Cuba, and insisted
on the rights of Americans to trial under
the treaty of 1796. He complained that
the American Consul at Santiago was
prevented from using the telegraph to
Washington.
The Spanish Secretary answered that
the matter was wholly a municipal affair
between Spain and the Virginias pirates,
and Spain .could not tolerate American
interference.
The interview ended by Gen. Sickles
demanding that Spain should enforce the
order of her Cabinet to Cnba for the sus
pension of the executions.
The Spanish Minister of Foreign Af
faire haughtily declined to permit Gen.
Sickles to discuss the municipal affairs of
Cuba. - *
The interview terminated angrily—Sick
les saying he would hold no more per
sonal, but only ojjicxal relations with the
Minister.
The public feeling runs high. The
Spaniards blame the United States for the
Cuban insurrection, and say they will
welcome war.
Minister Sickles does not see how war
can be avoided, as Spain will concede
nothing and public opinion will prevent
President Castelar from making any con
cessions.
There is no use in the United States
trifling any more on the subject—Span
ish stubbornness making concessions
impossible. The extreme Bcpublicans
favor the views of the United States in
the affair.
The War News at Washington.
Washington, November 21.—The city
is excited over the probabilities of a war
with Spain. Rumors of all kinds are cir-

War
Sickles Howled at by the Mob
Probable.
Washington, November 21. — Dis
patches received by the Secretary of State
are confirmatory, in part, of the special
telegrams from Madrid, in regard to the
demonstrations against Minister Sickles,
though the Secretary is of opinion that the
specials are somewhat exaggerated. The
mob which yelled in front of the Ameri
can legation was promptly dispersed by
the Government, and there is no doubt
here, in official circles, but that the au
thorities at Madrid are fully capable of
■preventing any outbreak.
The rositkmof Minister Sickles is very
uncomfortable, but it is not believed that
any violence will be offered, as Mr. Sickles
telegraphs that the Spanish officials are
equal to the emergency.
Minister Sickles is hourly in communi
cation wih the S*ate Department and his
dispatches indicate the existence of a very
strong feeling against the United States.
Mr. Fish submitted a number of tele
grams from Minister Sickles to the Cabi
net meeting to-day, and the session
■which has just commenced will, in all
■probability, be one of the most interest
ing and serious meetings since the com
mencement of the present complications.
Members of the Cabinet this morning
seem to be very serious in their demeanor
and there appears to be a more extended
discussion in all places as to the proba
bility of war then has yet been noticed.
At the same time, so far as has been
made known, the official advices from
Spain have not varied in the assertions
-of the honesty of the purpose of the
<lastelar government to preserve f .iendly
relations and to command calmness and
•dignity during the progress of the nego
tiation*.
The excitement of the populace in
Madrid does not seem to be shared by
the government there, as it is evidenced
by the expressed opinion of the Secretary
of State here, that there is an exaggera
tion in the unofficial reports, and the as
sertion of Mr. Sickles that the Spanish
government is able and has suppressed
hostile indications against the American
legation at Madrid.
The Secretary of the Navy’returned to
■ this city thiznMiaing and was at the de
partment at-a. very e«ly hour. A large
number of naval officers have been or
dered to duty to-day. All the ships of
heavy ordnance axe now being fitted out
for immediate active service.
A naval recruiting office has been or
dered to be opened at New Orleans.

' Nxw York, November 21.—The officers,
of the City, of New York give the names
of the passengers seized: Mrs. Domitola
de Monte, a widow, and hei child; By-
• cardo Lanceeres and an entire family,
consisting of a wife and three children,
and Donna Catalona Pares. Nothing sus
picions was found in the clothing of the

charged except Lanceeres. Two hundred

by correspondence. No executions had
taken place when the New York left.

Boston, November 21.—The jury of

administered by Dr. Eastman, returned
a verdict this evening. They do not cen-
■ sure the doctor. The jury caution the
public against the iahalation^of so dan
gerous an agent as chloroform for the
production of m-vasibility to pain, and
■ are of the opinion that the inhalation of
sulphuric ether is safe, while tho inhala
tion of chloroform alone, or mixed, is
always attended with danger.
he no general confirmation beyond the
news telegraphed at noon.
The State Department is investiga
ting the real status of the Virginius. The
Treasury Department of the navigation
division finds no reason to believe that
any irregularities exist in the Virginius’
registry papers. This fact has been com
municated to the Secretary of State by
the Secretary of the Treasury, and re
ceived attention at the Cabinet meeting
to-day. Copies of all papers were sub°
mittecL The session of the Cabinetopened
earlier than usual and continued until
four o’clock. All the Secretaries were
present. It waa the largest session held
during Grant’s administration. Sub
sequently Fish and Robeson had a con
ference. The whole time of the session
was occupied with the Virginius matter
and attending complications. The mem
bers are dumb regarding the details of
proposed action, but the feeling which
urged the attack upon the American le
gation was characterized as brutal and
unreasonable. It really seemed that no
reasonable ministry could stand at Mad
rid. There is increased navri activity.
A naval recruiting office has been ordered
opened at New Orle ins.

forces. Intelligence has been received
here of the annihilation of a band ot Re

of Almira—all killed or captured by Car-
lists.
Position of the President.
Washington, November 21.—It is still
unlikely that other than precautionary
measures will be taken until Congress
acts. While the President seems to be
in accord with the indignant feelings of
the people, he will do nothing to place
the country in a false position before the
world. A leading Senator who had a
conversation with the President to-day,
has no doubt that when Congress meets
the public will be satisfied that prudence,
combined with a due regard to our na
tional honor, has been observed by the
Executive Department of the Govern
ment.
Cuba Meeting.
New Orleans, November 22.—At an
enthusiastic mass-meeting of the friends
placing our arsenals in a condition to sup
ply the wants of an army in the field, in
case of war and looking to the condition
of the armament of our fortificationsTor
the successful defense of our harbors
against a hostile attack by iron-clads.
The ordnance department of the army
is at this moment in most active prepar
ation for a state of war, and is ready to
supply an army with an entire equip
ment of war material, including the most
approved breech-loading arms and field
and siege batteries of artillery—with
every kind of amunition. The telegiap’i
has been vigorously used, urging for
ward every preparation to the extent of
the ordnance’ appropriations; • and ord
nance officers arc fully alive to the grav
ity of the occasion and to the necessity
of ample preparation to meet all demands
shonld war be the result ot our present
complications.
While from the nature of the case the
navy had to take an active initiation, the
War Department is fully up to the cri
sis and in quiet preparation for the fu
ture.

German War Resolutions.
The following are the resolutions
adopted at the German Cuban meeting
last night, which it is intended to lay be
fore Congress at the opening of the ses
sion : Whereas, The people of Cuba are
not only in the same, but in a much worse
condition than the people of the United
States were at the time of the declaration
of their independence—the Spanish Gov
ernment allowing, under the barbarous
rule of so-called Spanish Volunteers, the
perpetration of the most terrible cruelties
and outrageous deeds of violence toward
the inhabitants of the island of Cuba, in
defiance of humanity and civilization;
and whereas, those barbarans, who it ap
pears are independent of the Spanish Gov
ernment tramples alike upon the laws and
usages of humanity and civilization—in
sult our flag on the open sea, and incar
cerate and murder our citizens :
Therefore, be it resolved, That we ask
the government of the United States and
Congress, in the name of humanity and
civilization, and to the end that a stop
may bo put to the barbarities in Cuba,
and to prevent their repetition, to accord
to the Cubans, now fighting for their in
dependence, the rights of belligerents,
and as soon as possible to acknowledge
Cuba as a free Republic,
Resolved, That we further ask the
Government and Congress of the United
States to demand of the Spanish Govern
ment in Madrid, as well as of the acting
authorities of Cuba, full satisfaction for
the insult to our flag and the cruelties
committed by the Cuban volunteers, and
to enforce these demands wita all the
means in their power.
British Subjects on the Virginias.
New York, November 22.—From the
correspondence in the El Cronista it ap
pears that after the British vice consul
found his efforts to secure a postpone
ment of the shooting of the persons
cl liming British citizenship, vain, the
BritUh commodore at Jamaica took in
hand and telegraphed the following to
his government:
“Santiago de Cuba.
“ In the interests of friendly relations
between our respective governments, I
beg you to delay the execution of alleged
British subjects until the captain of the
Niobe can communicate with you.”
Bnrriel replied : “ I do not possess au
thority to accede to the petition you sent
me. The law unit be fulfilled; conse
quently men claiming British citizenship
will be executed.”

Will there he War with Spain?
The New York Sun asks and answers
this question in an editorial, of which
the following is the conclusion:
Moreover, the administration at Wash
ington is not unwilling to be forced into
a war. It is true that we are in no con
dition to make one, that our finances
are depressed; that our people arc suf
fering from the stoppage of industry and
business; and that our navy, under its
present corrupt and worthless manage
ment. has deteriorated until it is nearly
useless; so that wa should commence
war under great embarrassments. But
on the other hand, hostilities would draw
the people’s Attention away from the
corruption of their rulers and fasten it
upon the movements of fleets and armies
and the news of expeditions and battles.
Then we should have no more
investigating committees, and _ for
a time at least no more fatal revelations.
Then the publip belief that under Gen.
Grant the honor of the nation has been
sold for Spanish gold would be removed
by the sharu edge 6f the sword; and a
successful w&i would even elect him fora
third term. There, will be money to be
made on-, of contracts, and shoddy can
recover the fortunes it has lost in to©
panic; and thus the base interests of
plunder and of political rascality will
conspire with the purest patriotism to
justify a war and to light it to the bitter
end. *Theae are our reasons fot believ
ing that war is what we are likely to
have.
The Sun could not haTe furnished more
or stronger arguments against a warwith.
Spnin than are here set forth. If there
can result any advantages to tho country
that.will counterbalance the evils above
STILL ANOTHEB HOMICIBB*
One Schoolboy Stabs Another
Death.
One of the most lamentable homicides
that ever took place in this city, was
committed about one o’clock yesterday
afternoon, at the public school in Epst
Macon. The occurrence is especially la
mentable, on account of the extreme
youth of both participants; and also on
account of its having occurred at one of
the public schools of the city. The cir
cumstances are about as follows:
During the noon recess John Wall and
Thomas Howard, in company with other
lads, were engaged in a game of hall,
when they had a dispute over the game,
then a scuffle, and finally, both grew mmj
and a fight ensued. Howard struck Wall
with a brick-bat, and the latter drew a
knife and inflicted three wounds upon
Howard, two of which would have been
fatal. There was a slight wound in the
n«ck. In his back,. on tho left of the
spine, wai another wound which penetra
ted to the cavity, producing internal
hemorrhage. This tvaa ^ mortal wound.
The third wound was in left thigh,
a few inches below the groin, which, pens-
trated to and severed the femoral artery.
This, in all probability, was the wound
which was the immediate cause of the
death of the lad.
The fight between the lads took place
at the foot of the embankment near the
old Central depot, which is now used as
a school-house. Howard, after being out,
had climbed up this embankment and
walked some twenty feet toward the
school-house, when he sanktotue ground
and told his playmates to run for a doc
tor. These were the last words he spoke,
as he expired in a very few minutes —prob
ably in less than five minutes after the
cutting was done.
The bleeding from this wound in the
thigh was most profuse, and by it the
boy could be distinctly tracked from the
place where the cutting wa3 done to
where he fell and expired.
As soon as the cutting was over Wall
disappeared from the ground and has not
been seen since. It is supposed he went
to his home, which is about two hnd a
half miles in the country, near the Jones
county line.
Coroner Harman was notified ot the
tragedy and was early upon the ground.
He soon empaneled a jury which, after
receiving tho body, which was examined
by Dr. McCreary, and bearing the testi
mony of some of the hoys who were wit
nesses to the transaction, returned a ver
dict in accordance with the above facts.
Howard was a lad about sixteen years
old, and lived in East Macon with his
mother, who is a widow. He was at one
time employed in Burke’s printing office.
After the inquest his body was taken to
his mother’s house and p "pared for
burial. .
Wall is about the sumo age of How
ard. He is a son o* Mr. Brai. Wall, who
is dead, and a grandson of Mr. John Low,
one of the most respectable citizens of
the county. He had been in the school
but a short time, and was regarded as a
quiet and peaceable lad. Up to a late
hour last night he had not been arrested.
There were no witnesses to this tragedy
except the school-boys, most of whom
were small; but they all tell about the
same tale in regard to it. It seems to
have been one of those unfortunate oc
currences, growing out of a sudden and
uncontrollable hurst of passion, leading
the youth to seek to punish his antago
nist by the infliction of severe personal
injuries. No one imagines for a moment
that the boy meant to slay his playmate,
and the probability is that he left the
ground unaware of the fearful result of
the injuries he had inflicted.
A Mistrial In the Pike Case.
The suspense is over at last, and the
jury, after being out over forty hours,
have been discharged, being unable to
agree upon a verdict in the Pike case.
The case was given to the jury about half
past four o’clock Thursday evening, and
they remained out until nine o’clock yes'
terday morning, when they were called
down and discharged from farther con
sideration of the matter. It is understood
that seven of the jurors were for acquit
tal, and five were in favor of a verdict of
voluntary manslaughter. It was no doubt
a great relief to the jurors to be dis
charged, as they had been away from
their homes since Monday morning.
We think that, when the jury first
went out, it was generally expected that
they would be able to agree upon a ver
dict in a short while; but as the minutes
and the hours passed and ten o’clock ar
rived without any report, the people very
generally made up their minds that there
would be no verdict, and such has been
the result.
This disposes of the case for the pres
ent, and Pike returns to his old quarters
in the jaiL The next step of his counsel
will probably be to get him out on bail,
provided he can succeed in giving a satis
factory bond.
Some of the “Bad Signs" in
Richmond.
H. V. Redfield, in a late letter from
Richmond, Ya., to the Cincinnati Com
mercial, after remarking upon the ap
pearance of general prosperity presented
in that city, goes on to say that there
are, however, many bad signs, and among
them the number of lawyers and doctors,
which, he was told, exceeds that of any
other city in the country in proportion to
population. “A lawyer’s sign or “shin
gle” stares you in the face, go where you
will, from one end of the city to the
other. A morning paper the other day
chronicled the arrival of two from Peters
burg, and appended this cheerful com
ment: “There are already between thirty
and forty more here than can make a liv
ing.” I am told that there are a dozen
lawyers, so-called, in Richmond, who do
not have an average annual in-xime of
tnree hundred dollars. A large number
fall below six hundred, and the lawyer
who gathers in a thousand from his prac
tice in the course of a year, is considered
rather lncky. There are eight or ten la w
firms who get about all that is worth get
ting, while the remaining hundred pick
up a scanty subsistence from what is
left.”
A Fiendish Butchery.—New Canaan,
Conn., November 19.- Mrs. Jos. Silleck, a
widow owning and occupying alone a
small place in this town, was brutally

TON SLUMS.
“Bell’s Bottom," the leatturtm
of the Mao ami Brother In that City
-One of the Results of “ Freedom.”
“ Gath,” the' Chicago Tribune’s Wash
ington correspondent has been investigat
ing the rough Bide of Washington society,
and among other glories of that “free
dom” cursed city discovers and toils all
about “Hell’s Bottom,” the headquarters
of the Radical voters of that city. He
says:
This is the startling name given to a
quantity of scantling, canvas, and stucco
shanties which cover the space between
Ninth and Fourteenth and between O
and Boundary streets, adjacent to the
new and most fashionable quarter of
Washington, in the rear of the State De
partment. The land here is owned by
avaricious and unenterprising old citi
zens, who collect rents from a great tribe
of contrabands, houseless blacks, thiev
ing mulattoes, and a very few white va
grants, which squatted here after the be
ginning of the war. A number of low
groggeries splash the monotony of this
waste, and at night the inhabitants'be
gin to raise howls of melancholly jubilan-
cy, pop off old shot-guns, and count
over, in their kennels, the plunder
brought in by the negro sneak-thieves
who harbor here, ^liis district has giv
en for ten y oars the greatest trouble to
the police, as the negroes are less distin
guishable from each other than white of
fenders, and are persistent plunderc of.
clothes-lines, hack-yards, stoops, shop
fronts, and hall-parcels. It is dangerous
to pass through Hell’s Bottom after dark,
os the loitering castaways there would
probably assail a stranger picking his way
over that unlighted plateau. A new
street-railway has been carried up this
district, and many of the streets paved
and parked; and the District Govern
ment is endeavoring, little by little, to
have these shanties removed as nuisances.
A good conflagration, such as lights up
the concaves of the real place of this
name, might serve Hell’s Bottom right
eously. To deal with such negro offen
ders as inhabit this large tract, where
abide or hide a large percentage of
the 45,000 negroes of the District, is
a study in the latest accession to criminal
character. The Washington negro is
neither indigenous nor sui generis. He
is scrapped up, raw and ragged, from' all
parts of the Slave and Border States, and
his native nature is qualified by all the
varieties of mastership and by white ad
mixture. The Maryland negro from the
old tobacco-peninsulas, Catholic in reli
gion and poor in experience, meets the
Carolina negro with all the shrewdness
and treachery of mixed blood and pursu
ing sensuality. The full-blooded African
from Virginia, who was nourished on the
tradition of Nat Turner, finds his coun
terpart in some younger ruffian who has
already acquired the science of pugilism,
and is predatory and quarrelsome. They
covet each others’ women; they live in
gregarious mischief and mutual annoy
ance; a little contents them, and it is
sweetest without work; the whiteman’s
town is near at hand, and he is the daily
victim. They find him out by their
washerwomen,house-servante, and mendi
cants, who penetrate bis luxury and toll
the secrets of private portals. Instan
ces of burglary amongst hegro me
chanics have occurred, and the mur
ders of some of the full blooded Afri
cans have been of cannibal cruelty. There
was Tom Wright, for example, who killed
a peddler at 11 o’clock A. m., packed him
in a closet, and dined beside the body
with bis mistress, and did not carry the
body off the premises until 9 o’clock p.
m. Yet this negro was the champion
bruiser of his race, and the little negroes
looked upon with are and admiration.
With such a population, yet in shiftless
heathenism in thousands of cases, some
humanitarians are seeking to mix by
force the white scholars of the Washing
ton public schools, and make Ishmael
and Isaac sit together, that the one may
communicate his toleration and the other
his vermin. The schools here are of the
best character, as can be seen from the
fact that $950,000 has been spent rpoi
their construction in a period of four or
five years. The whites and the blacks
have two different Boards, but the gen
eral management and supervision are
impartial, and the Sumner School House,
for colored children, is one of the most
elegant buildings on the Continent. The
enrollment is 5,500 colored to 15,600
white pupils; but, in view of this mixed
school project, the private schools get as
much white attendance as the public.
The cost per pupil is nearly $25 per an
num, and thus the local white residents
will require to pay upward of $300,000
yearly to give schooling to these vast ne
gro additions.

More About Cotton.
From the New Oiteane Time*]
Daring the continuance of the panic,
he question of the extent of the cotton
crop nos been almost entirely ignored,and
prioas hove been feroed down below the
cost of production. Since the date of
my last communication, I hare received
information from Georgia, Alabama,
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louis
iana, all tending to confirm my esti
mate of A300.000 bales, and render it
probable that the yield will fall below
that figure. The freeze, followed by
heavy rains, has caused greater damage
than was at first supposed. Much of the
cotton being open has been washed out
and beaten into the earth,, and thus ren
dered worthless. This has been particu
larly the case in Mississippi and Arkan
sas. In many sections planters have al
ready finished picking, and have realized
the fact that their crops are even shorter
than their estimates of a month ago.
'When these tecta are generally known
the effect will soon be made manifest by
a decided advance in prices, both in Eu
rope and America.
The panic is over, the crisis has been
reached and passed, and confidence is be
ing gradually but surely restored, money
will soon be abundant for all legitimate
purposes, and the question of supply and
demand will govern the sale of the re
mainder of the crop. We have in the
United States about seven hundred and
fifty millions of paper currency, which is
worthless as a circulating medium in any
other country. What is to become of this
immense volume of paper money, or
rather, how is it to find employment?
speculation in worthless railroad
shares ana r-—, stocks is at an end, and
only tevored descriptions-,1,^ —_ and
pay dividends will attract attention.
Tins will leave a very large amount
either to be hoarded and kept idle, or to
seek investment in something of real
value, and what offers a safer investment
than cotton, or the exchange and busi
ness paper based upon it, or the fabrics
which ore mode of it? We all know that
money will leave its hiding place as soon
as confidence is restored. Capitalists
cannot afford to let their money lay idle,
and such a thing as hoarding paper
money was never known, except in times
of panic
It does appear to me that the cotton
planters of the South should awaken from
their lethargy, and understand that cot
ton is a thing of prime necessity to the
world, and will, if properly handled, com
mand a fair and profitable remuneration
for the labor and expense of raising it.
If every planter sends his cotton to mar
ket the moment it is ready for shipment,
he net only places his own, but the crops
of others, at the mercy of those whose in
terest it is to depress prices with a view
of large profits in their speculations.
They should build sheds or warehouses
to nrotect their cotton from the weather,
ai d mirktt only a their necessities re
quire for the maintenance of their planta
tions and to reinburse their teeters
for advanoes, and keep the balance at
home during any period of depression
such as we are now passing through.
I will venture on the old and almost
threadbare advice which has been time
i again urged upon planters, and which
they acknowledge, but do not follow, to
turn their attention to producing their
supplies of corn, grain and all other arti
cles of Consumption which the soil of the
South so abundantly yields. One bushel
of born made at home is ivorth two bush
els produced in the West, which is gen
erally received in a heated and damaged
condition, and frequently causes the loss
of the horses and mules to which it is fed.
There is no good reason why they cannot
also raise their mules, cattle and hogs,
all essential to the profitable cultivation
of cotton. If they would pursue this
course and plant less cotton, they would
soon be independent of merchants and
money lenders, which they can never be
under the present system of planting. A
crop of 2,500,000 bales, expenses of pro
duction and selling considered would pro
duce as tnnch money as a crop of 4,000,000
of bales..
A great deal is said every year about
bod trade in Europe, scarcity of food, and
all the old saws which spinners and ship
pers have been running on factors ever
since I have known anything about the
cotton trade. I am well advised that the
trade of Manchester was never better
than at the present moment; spinners
are coining money and the stocks of
manufactured cotton goods are light all
over the world. Our Northern spinners
are again moving, and being without
cotton, must necessarily enter the market
with large orders at an early day, else
they will lose the cream of the crop, as
the pickings after the 1st instant must
be of poo- quality.
In regard to the matter of dear food
it is all a fallacy. We con furnish Europe
with all the grain they want at low prices,
and the money we receive in payment
will increase our purchasing capacity and
add largely to our imports, which is just
the kind of exchanges they desire. What
is to prevent an advance in cotton?
