CONFISCATED PROPERTY IN CUBA
In October, 1872, Secretary Fish in
writing to Ueniral Sickles, complaining
of the regulations for the proceedings
concerning sequestrated property in
Cuba, and the embargo, or confiscation
of property belonging to citizens of the
United States on that island, instructed
him to present the grievances of which
this Government so justly complained, to
the Spanish Goi eminent, in a way which,
without giving offence, will leave a
conviction that wo' are in earnest in
the expression of their views, that

Tho AdmlqlglrnltoH .on , the> Cuban
Complications.
Washington, November 14.—It is un
derstood that the Cabinet, to-day,- deter
mined npon a stt-i -ng policy in regard to
Cuban. compUC.itious. Members,of the
Cabinet are reticent re-gnr.ling detail',
bnt their looks and -stray * uoids are'
threatening. One Cabinet officer said
toe proceedings -and. conclusions to-day
were such as xili be iii. GvCryt res'jeet sat
isfactory to toe American people.
It can be stated on official authority
that while the present naval preparations
do js°t mean war against Sp iiu or Cubs,
they are significant of the determination
of thjs Government to protect American
interests at any hazard, and prevent -in
the future, such massacres as those which
followed the capture of too Yirginius,
agd which sho{t? 'tlur NSitirtf 'civitizbd'
world. Experience has shown that ,toe
Spanish government cannot enforce its
own decrees in the: Island of Cnba, and
therefore it becomes imperative for toe
United States to protect its citizens
from Caban ferocity. Emboldened by
the late/ efenfs, fit fil , improba
ble that speh 111 1 lid as tliose which
haye bo ilatblyt token Iplace* may be

about whose nationality there is no doubt,

in'Cuba have suffered much from embar
goes and confiscations without remedy
from either Spain or the authorities of
thg'.island. The patience of the Govem-

ing effective can be depended upon from
the Spanish Govern inert, notwithstand
ing ite’friendly feelings towards too Uni

recognized by our Government as appli-

There is, amomg all prominent officers

.for transportation of communications from

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
THE YIRGEflUS. _ J
The Cabinet Takes tlie Mntler in
Ilaml.
■Washington, November 14.—Tho ses
sion of the Cabinet to-day continued over
two hours, and was the most important
which lias taken place under President
Grant’s, administration. . The capture
of 'the- Virginias and the shocking
barbarities perpetrated by he Spanish
authorities at Santiago do Cuba forms
toe subject of serious consideration, and
definite action towards maintaining tho
dignity of tho United States in existing
complications was taken.
While all toe members of the Cabinet
are extremely reticent as to toe nature of
the conclusion reached to-day, it may bo
Slid that the Administrations thoroughly
in accord with tho sentiment of tho peo
ple of too country, and the course of the
authorities will bo heartily approved.
One member of tho Cabinet, when ap
proached on the subject, replied as to the
nature of tho action agreed upon to-day i
“I can say nothing; but you may rest
assured tho people of the country will bo
satisfied immediately.”
ROBESON ACTIVE.
After the adjoomment of toe Cab
inet, Secretary Boboson repaired to the
Navy Department and first had a long
conferbnce with the chief of the Bureau
of Constructions and Bepairs.asto fit tin
out for sea several vessels now laid up,
and then'with the chief of the Bureau of
Equipment and Bocruiting, relative to
furnishing such vessels with their com
plement of men, stores, ete.
A largo number of tebgrams between
the Secretary and commandants of the
several navy-yards passed during the
■day, and affairs about the department
were conducted with seeresy.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL ADOPT EXTREME
MEASURES.
Various rumors are circulated to-night
as to the determination of the Cabinet,
one of which is that the Government will
demand of Spain the immediate arrest
and punishment of toe parties mainly in
strumental in conducting top outrages of
which the Government - seriously com
plains ; and if the Castilian Government
shall be unable to give the required sat
isfaction this Government will proceed to
extreme measures if necessary to obtain
it.
Though no Cabinet officer admits, di-
ircctly, that this U ono af the conclusions
arrived at.duriiig tit-day’s deliberations,
still, upon its being presented, there 13
no positive denial. The fact is, that ow
ing to the determination adopted in Cab
inet session not to make known, for the
irtion of top important
i' mpi-e than ordinarily
difficult to obtain even the slightest inti
mation from any one pf .the several heads
Of departments, or ‘ from toe President,
excepting as mentioned above—the ad
mission that the decision will meet the
heartiest approval of the American peo
ple.
THE SPANISH MAN-OF-WAR AT BROOKLYN.
Thera is reason to believe that one of
the subjects accompanying the discussion
of toe situation .was that of the Spanish
man-of-war now undergoing repairs at
New York,‘and that it was remarked, in
tho course of tho consultation held, that
if t'.o v..-'*-.-!. by any p'-.'-ibiiity, . mo
into the hands of this Government, it3
possession wonld more than compensate
for the loss of toe Yirginius, so far as
the comparative value of the ships are
concerned.
THE TEEASCRY SHELLING OUT.
Tho Treasury Department to-day, upon
the requisition of the Secretary of toe
Navy, shipped $230,000 by express to
Norfolk, Va., the headquarters of the
North Atlantic fleet, in order that there
might be no delay in fitting out and sup
plying with all neccessary stores the ves
sels now under orders to leave with toe
least possible delay for Cuba and other
ports m toe West Indies.

The Secretary bf State has received! no
further particulars,of tin- .Virginias mas
sacre. with tho exception of dispatches
from Consul General Hall, showing thaj
the executions were precipitated by the
Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba;
in order to anticipate any interferences
on the part of tho home government.
Evidences accumulate upon these facts.
Late this cveningofficialdispatchcs were
received from Consul General Hall at
Havana, but thoy contain no allusion;
whatever to toe executions further
those reported on the mornings of tho
4th, 7th and Sth insts., and from this it
seqms probable that there have' been no
other executions, and the rumors to that
effect to-day are believed to be unfounded
Consul General Hall, however, expe
riences much difficulty in obtaining ac-
ourato information from-the Spanish au
thorities. ’ '
WHAT*SICKLES IS DOING.
Minister Sickles was to have had a con
sultation with tho Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs, aV Madrid, yesterday
evening; but, in conseqtence of tho
news of the further execution, after tllQ
murder of tho first four prisoners,: the
Spanish officials expressing intenso re
gret and horror at the circumstance, sug
gested to Minister Sickles a reasonable
delay in holding, tho intended council,
and accordingly a brief postponement
has been arranged.
AN INCORRECT IMPRESSION
has been circulated that Secretary
Fish has asserted that, in case the Vir-
ginius was cnpturqd in British; wqters, it;
would be necessary for England to held'
Spain responsible for the violation of her
jurisdiction, and that this Government
would make such requirement.'' Such,
however, is not tho case. Tlie position
of Secretary Fish is to hold Spain re
sponsible for the insult to our flag, np
matter whether the act occurred in Brit
ish, American, or Spanish wat.ore., The
question - of England holding Spfthv re
sponsible for mi insult, to ouf flag in;
British waters, if it should prove to be
within ono marine league of British ter
ritory, is one of secondary and minor con
sideration not entering at' all into the
present complications.
Tho Excitement New York.
New York, November 14. - The excite

work of fitting out tho Juniata is going
on rapidly. This afternoon she took on

will probably sail to-morrow morning to
join the North Atlantic squadron. No
thing has yet been done to the Eoanoke,
which is still lying in tho river.
The opinion is expressed in the Navy
Yard that tho United States government
will be justified in seizing too Spanish
