generally accepted by manufacturers. The
present stoppage, however, cannot amount
to less than 6,000 bales a week, and the

Protection.
Mr. Horace J. Smith, of the Philadel
phia Press, send* ua a private letter, en
closing the following slip in which he
gives tho South a few useful hint* as to
tho importance of diversifying her in
dustrial interest*, but spoils oil by tho
brood assertion that she will then "clamor
more loudly than Pennsylvania, for a
tariff.”
In this region the wholosome doctrine
of free trade and sailors' rights 1 as ever
had its,fullest exemplification. Our poo-
pie have, suffered too much in their
pockets by the doss legislation of the
North, and its unrighteous protection of
a pampered few engaged in manufac
tures, at the cost of jillions of tanoccut
consumers, to listen to the “syren song of
this representative of tho iron men of
the' Keystono State.
The people of the South should indeed
■inearth their mineral treasures, spin
their own cotton, raise their wine, wheat,
corn, moat, bay and fruits, but not by
seeking to prey upon each other, and
bolstering up ono set of producers at the
oiponsu of their neighbors.
Let every tub stand on it* own bottom,
is sound doctrine in political economy.
Equal laws and a fair showing are all that
should bo asked for or conceded to any
industrial pursuit. And the consumer
should be left free to make his purchases
anywhere in tho wide- world, where ho
con make the cheapest bargain and se
cure the best article.
Mr. Smith is a very clever, genial fel
low, but be is barking up the wrong tree
this timo:

diversify the industries of the South, if
they would make their own crockery out
of their own clay, their iron out of their
own ore* their own lead pipe out of their
own mines, and everywhere their cloth
out of their cotton! It would not take
long with pot stacks, iron furcates. fac
tories, and other rndustrial chimneys,
belching out coal smoke in their midst,
to make the people of tho South thor
ough protectionists. The Angle-Snxons,
which, rising up in Central Europe,
have brained the more feeble folk
who stood in their path, and
left the oareas*es of Italians, Gauls, Sax
ons, Welsh. Irish, Indians (redondycl-
low) negroes, and Australians to rot, are
an essentially selfish race. "The natural
rights of all men” they prato about, are
a mere fiction for the car. These right*
neither control their bead* nor their
hearts. Might, power, and dominion
over man and beast are their ruling pas
sions, and we see some sad wrecks of hu
manity lingering under the shadow of
their skirt*, but mostly tbe path of his-
Tux industrial exposition scheme at
New York is dead. The special committe

posed loan of $2,560,000 to tho Industrial
Krposition Company made their final re
port to the full board on tVednerday
afternoon. The report Is adverse to tho
lean. The president put tho question to
tbe meeting, and it was received with
only one dissentient voice. So tho job

Wx quote as follows from the Atlanta
Constitution of yesterday:
Homicide ix Msbieita.—We learn
that on Saturday evening, Mr. D. L. Ma
lone was killed in Marietta, by Mathew
Moore. Malone, who was a contractor,
was paying off his hands. He and Moore
are reported to have been tight. Some
dispute arose between them, when Moore
threw a brick, striking Malone in tbe
templo and fracturing the skull so se
verely, that Malone died before Sunday
morning, Moore has been arrested and
jailed.
A Ltvblt Contest and ax Ixtsbkst-
ixo Law Quxstiox.—The following arc
about tbe fact* relative to the recent seis-
ure of a number of cigar* in this city
levied on by Judgo Pittman, by the
United States Collector, and the apparent
conflict between the Federal and State
authorities resulting therefrom. Freder
ick V. Mossdort, who wo* recently convict
ed of carrying on the business of a retail
liquor dealer without paying the special
tax. was a tenant ot Judge Pittman’s,
and at the time of hi* arrest and convic
tion owed some $200 for rent. Mossdorf
was also manufacturer and dealer in ci
gars, and Judge Pittman, to secure his
rent, sued out u distress warrant, which
was levied on certain cigar* in the house.
These cigars were, therefore, in the pos
session of the law, and were remaining in
the house simply by sufferance. Several
days after his conviction, Mossdorf inode
his escape, and has not yet been captured.
Under the United States revenue laws,
Mossdorf, as a manufacturer of cigars, was
compelled to make monthly returns to the
Collector, showing the number of cigar*
manufactured, and the number sold. The
return for Oct. hod not been made when he
was arrested. On last Saturday, Judge
Pittman made application to the proper
Fittnmn made application to tile proper
authorities to be allowed to put Rtamps
on a number of these cigar*. This ap
plication was denied, because the Gov
ernment official* suspected the existence
of fraud in MossdorfTs returns, and lie-
cause, under tho law, they could only
issue those stamp* to tho manufacturers.
In the United State* statutes there is a
clause which authorize* any Circuit or
District Judge, or United States Coiumis-
sioner, to issue to tho Colloetorof the In
ternal Revenue a search warrant, by
which ho is empowered to enter and
search any premise* upon his making af
fidavit that he believes that a fraud is
being perpetrated against the Govern
ment. Thi* warrant was taken out by
tbo Collector on tbe 15th, but was not
executed until the 18th. In the mean
time negotiations were being carried on
between Judge Pittman and tho Collec
tors about entering the house, the Judge
offering to give up the keys if they would
take only such cigars a* they found un
stamped, and thraColleetor insisting that
he was required to seize everything con
nected with tho cigar business. On the
18th instant the Collector and deputies
proceeded to tho store to force
an entrance. Judge Pittman denied
their authority to break his doors,
the ground that the cigar*
not in his custody but in
that of tho law. Several policemen were
also present. Mr. Fleisch did attempt to
break the door, when Judge Pittman
caught him and told him not to do it.
The revenue officer* then retired, still in
sisting upon their right to make the seix-
nre. During that night tho Collector
had tho premise* guarded by United
States soldiers, oml the next day, after
further negotiation with Judgo Pittman, „„„
in which the two gentlemen again failed L
that State. How it wouhl to reach an understanding, he broke open
the premises under guard of a squad of
soldiers. The cigars were then removed.
pirn* <!• F. Stevens.
In another coluiss will be found the
announcement of the death of this esti
mable lady. From cariy youth a con
sistent and devoted member of the Bap
tist communion, she met death without a
tremor, remaining perfectly sensible,
ealm and triumphant, almtfct to the very
instant which severed the spirit from its
tenement of clay.
Her remains were brought to Macon
by the bereaved husband and a few
friends, and interred on Monday in Boso
Hill Cemetery. Rev. A. W. Clisby offi
ciated at the grave, and some of our best
citizen* acted os pall bjarers.
To Dr. J. P. Steven*, sn old and cherished
friend, and a gentleman mo*t favorably
known in literary and scientific circles,
we extend our heartfelt sympathy and
condolence.
Most truly did he remark that the loss
of children, and all other earthly aSiic-
tioui, are not to be compared to that
overwhelming calamity which, in the
death of a loving wife, roho the house
hold of ita brightest gem, and makee
desolate tho hearthstone of tho surviv
ing partner. The doctor is an elder in
the Presbyterian Church, however, and a
Christian. He can turn for consolation
to soorosa the world wots not of. We
doubt not he can truly exclaim—** Though
lie slay me, yet will I trust in Him.”
" Thy will, O ! Lord, be done.”

Tbe entire amount seized was about 2.900,
of which only two or three boxes had been
stamped. They were appraised at $136.
The Collector thinks that Judge Pittman
is as safe now as he ever was. By simply
filing a claim he can postpono the sole of
the cigars until a competent Court has
passed upon the merits of the cose. The
law question involved is interesting.
Judgo Pittman claims that the lien of his
distress warrant attached to tho cigars
before the lien of the Government under
its confiscation laws, and that as he wo*
innocent of nny fraud, and the goods not
in his possession, the Collector had no
right to break his door*. Tho above
facts, wo believe, are correct.
Tus same paper has the following
timely remarks upon the clamor for war
with Spain:
PsorLE are beginning very sensibly to
inquire, what is the South to gain by a
war, and what is there to warrant such
wild ebullitions of passion, as are appa
rent in some quarters. We still caution
our people to go slow—to take uo stock
in this crusade until they look carefully
into its merits and into tho result*. The
South has certainly seen enough of cor-
pot-hagism and freed negroes to satisfy
them that they ought to observe c ration
in precipitating a war to open np now
fields for carpet-hag glory and freed ne-
groism—a war that will be waged at the
expense of the prostration of the South
and the heaping up of taxation already
buiikfuome.
A two-stokt brick building at Savan
nah used as a negro school, burned
last Saturday. It was valued at 15000,
and insured for $2000.
Tax Roman* are feeling decidedly bet
ter, in view of the tact that gold has been
found on Capt. John Turner’s place, ten
mile* west of Rome. An old California
miner boost* them high up with the re
port that he never saw a finer prospect
in that State than thi* presents.

Nabxow Escape.—A Henry county cor
respondent of the Griffin News send* that
paper the following:
A Mr. Bruce Johnson, his family, wife
and two children, three and fire years
old, were living on a place near Arch.
Brown, Esq., and were tenant* of Arch.
Brown’s. Mr. Johnson’s wife and two
children were sleeping in a bed in tbe
northwest corner of the house; right
opposite Mr. Johnson was lying, a fire
place between them. The gush of wind
and noi*e—most remarkable—caused Mr.
J. to rise suddenly. Destruction of fam
ily and everything seemed, as it were,
inevitable. As ha arose frightened, all at
once a large post oak tree, standing some
twenty feet from tho chimney, blew up,
falling directly otst the house and chim-
nev length wise, crushing the whole house
anil chimaeT. Mr. Johnson was stand
ing at the side of tho bed. and wo*
knocked down and stunned and braised,
the tree and side of the house falling di-
rectlv over him. The west end and north
side of tho house feU in, covering up Mrs.
Johnson and the two ehil Iren. Apart of
i the side of th* boose fell directly acres*
Mr.-. Johnson. Fortunately the bedstead
protected or prevented the weight of
house from killing her and the
Smith and Doe Smith were absent. He
harried on and found some kind freed-
men. who repaired with him to tbe d>>-
molishad house; and after much effort,
removed the timbers from off Mr*. John
son and the two children, and to tk* as
tonishment an l joy of Mr. Johnson, his
wife and children were extricated without
any very serious injury.
New Grange Poetry.
Some of the horny-handed politicians
in this State who are so sweet on the
Grangers, have been improving the shin
ing hours since the meeting in this city
daring the State Fair, by wooing the po
etic muse in order to get up something
to sing to the Patrons at the meeting
now In progress at Atlanta. We have
recently come into possess ion of some of
this poetry, and give tbe following os
specimen*. It will be observed that the
effort* of the h. h. p.’s aforesaid in this
line are rather erode. But they’ll im
prove under proper encouragement. The
approach of another election will see them
doing a great deal better:

Oltl Time Reminiscences.
Tbe Columbus Enquirer is publishing
extracts of local and other new* from its
old files, some of which are very inter
esting. It has now reached the year
1S39, and here ore some item* 9! that
date:
Sryfem’er 18.—Married, on Thursday
tho 13th in«t., byRev.SunnelK. Hodge*.
Henry L. Benning, E*q.. to Miss Mary
Howard, only daughter of Colonel Sea
born Jones, of Muscogee county.
October 9.—At on election held Last
Monday. H. S. Smith was elected Sena
tor. and Watson, McDongold and Guerry,
Representatives. For Governor, Dough
erty received 1861 and McDonald 850
votes. The gentlemen elected were Union
Democrat*.
Cotton.—The planter* are beginning to
arrive with their cotton. The crop i*
larger than has been supposed, and the
staple is as fin* a* we have ever seen in
this market. We regret that prices are
dull—ranging from S) to 9 cent*. There
is little hope of an advance. Tho re
ceipts vary from fifty to one hundred and
twenty-five bag* per day.
Dr. J. W. Turner, of this city, sold on
tho 18th of September. $11,700 worth of
Morns Multieaulis mulberry tree*. The
trees were about three and n half feet
high, and were sold at twenty-five cents
pertree.
Tho paper of this date gives notie* of
the opening of tho St. Joseph and lola
Railroad. John D. Gray was contractor.
On the first excursion trip the run be
tween the two points was made in two
hour* and fifteen minutes, the train car
rying upwards of fonr hundred ladie* and
gentlemen. A barbecue, g'ven by Mr.
Snell, signalized the auspicious event.
[Tho above rood has played out long
since.]
iYorender 18.—A correspondent men
tions the Georgia Railroad to Greensboro.
Ga., nnd goes on to say the busiqps* of
one day amounted to $1,500.
Tlio South Carolina Moses.
The Charleston Nows and Courier
mention* a rumor in Columbia that the
banditti were about to impeach Governor
Moses for receiving bribes. That paper
tells a tale which, taken in connection
with tho rich experience of Governor
Scott, show* that tbo Governorship of
South Carolina is better than a California
placer. Says the News:
The salary of tho Governor of South
Carolina is $3,500 a year, and no fee or
; lerquisito is attached to the office. Gov.
dose* has nover even occupied the Ex
ecutive Mansion, on Arsenal Hill, where
Governor Scott was lodged at the ex
pense of the State, nor had he, at the
Jtne of hi* election, any private fortune
beyond an extensive capital of debts.
Nevertheless he lives in royal style. The
Preston mansion, which he has bought,
has cost somebody more than one hun
dred thousand dollars, and is not yet
completely equipped for the accommoda
tion of the Sybaritic Governor. F»st
horses, diamond* and other extravagance*
are freely indulged in, and the only in-
of the luxurious spendthrift,
so far as tho public know, is an official
salary of $3,500 a year. In December
last the General Assembly appropriated
$325,000 to pay the claims of the Credit
Mobilier Republican Printing Comp ray,
and it wo3 openly said, at tho time, that
Governor Moses refused to approve the
joint resolution unless he was paid forty
thousand dollar* for the job. The “boss-
" of the concern complained that very
little was left when they had finishod
paying the various politician* who “help
ed tho claim through.” It is. also, gen
erally believed that no county officer, who
is subject to Executive removal, con keep
his place long unless he periodically steps
up to the captain’s office and settle*.
Such reports are natural enough. They
point to the one way in which tho public
can explain how it is that a public officer
can spend every year thirty or forty
timc3 as much as his visible income.
Governor Moses does not care for criti
cism so long a* he stands, well with his
party, and his party will stick to Gover
nor Moses until it suit* their purpose to
throw him overboard. The impeachment
talk, therefore, is not likely to amount to
much, although this is a healthy time for
convicting and punishing political crim-
TIic Protest ol‘ Capt. Fry. j
The d«vlaratIoa owl pretest of Capt. _
Joseph Fry before the Unit .-1 St*t- ■ rice
consol, after being sentenced to 'death,
was in substance 23 follow*:
That he was the master of the Ameri
can steamer Virginiu*, which had all her
paper* in complete order, especially the
register of the steamer, crew list and ar
ticles, pamenger list, clearance from
Kingston, as also dispatch from Custom
house, etc. Sailed on the 23d of October.
1873, with all his crew and about log
passengers; after s few hours at sea
sprung a talk and put into Port Haytien
for repairsailed from the port of Cul-
mit. of that island, on the 30th day of
October, and. while between the islands
of Cuba and Jamaica, about twenty mile*
or more from Cuba, was chased by a
steamer, and overtaken and captured
about eighteen miles north of Morant
Point east end of tho Island of Jamaica,
about ten o’clock at night, the Spanish
•1 previously firing several shots ewer
the Virginiu* and compelling them to
lurrender. The steamer was then taken
charge of by a boarding officer, who stated
that he did so on his own responsibility,
knowing her to be an American vessel
and under the protection of the Sag of
tbe United states of America. The
master, Joseph Fry, with the crew
and passengers, were placed under guard,
and all brought into the port of Santi
ago de Cuba on the 1st day of November.
On the evening of the same day, after
having delivered over all the papers be
longing to the Virginias, he was refused
permission to apply to his oonsul for aid
and protection, and this was only granted
him after being condemned to death with
the major part of hi* crew, under no
known- public law or pretext; and, as
Capt. Fry was hurried to make his prepar
ation* for death, he could make no further
statement, but declares that the forego
ing is his true declaration, which ho signed
in jail, at 2 o’clock on the 7th November.
1873—two hours previous to hi* execu
tion. This protest was approved by sev
eral of the foreign consul* with whom
Mr. Szhmitt advised. But Gov. Burriel
was highly incensed at the consul’s action,
and informed him he had demanded the
revocation of his exequatur. Another in
sult was put upon the consul, for just
previous to the moment on which the
prisoners left the jail, three soldiers ns
guard* were stationed at the consul’s res
idence-one at each corner and one in
front of his door. It happened that the
French consul, his chancellor and several
other persons were at the time with Mr.
Schmitt, and as the time was too short to
demand an explanation nnd have the sol
diers removed— as every one stopped to
taqnire if the United States consul was
under guard—joined in making a process
verbal of tho circumstance.
lY TELEGRAPH.
Defalcation in the Freedmen’s Sav
ings Bank at Washington City.
Under date of November 21st, the Cin
cinnati Commercial’s Washington cor
respondent telegraphs the following:
A new case of the prevailing epidemic
ha* just been discovered. William J.
Wil*on, cashier of tho Freedmen’s Sav
ing* Bank in thi* city, is to-night re
ported to be a defaulter. Nobody seems
to know tbe extent of hi* peculation, and
while some person* are of the opinion
that it cannot be large, there is reason to
believe that it may prove to he in the
neighborhood of one hundred thousand
dollar*—possibly twice that amount.
Wilson is a mulatto, as in fact are all the
employes of the honk, and he is said to
be intelligent and a good business man.
The diaoovery seem* to have been made
day or two ago that Wilson's accounts
were irregular, and the matter has been
kept quiet in order to secure any property
he might
This is the way the Cincinnati Com
mercial put* the case:
While we are talking about that peace
ful merchantman, the “ Virgin: us.” that
wa* under the Star Spangled
Banner on an errand of international
mercy and love, bearing some of our
honored fellow-citizens, a telegram comas
from Kingston, saying:
“ There was no concealment made of
the actual errand of the Virginias while
she wa3 here. It was notorious. The
officers had dancing parties on board,
and public meetings were held in honor
of Cuban Independence, at which a con
signee of the Virginiu* occupied the
chair. The steamer was repaired while
in pert And coaled at the expense of Cu
ban refagees.” ,
The fact is, the Virginias was insult
ing the American flag by carrying it. and
the gjp.ui.rrl. knew Key as well os we
knew the Alabama or the Florida Confed-
fedcrate cruisers. We have been en-
araging filibustering in this country,
thoughtlessly, and the danger of war in
which we find ourselves is one of the
fruits of this policy. The Spaniards are
lortoroos fools to murder their priso-
childreu. Mr. Johnson, perfectly bewil-1 ners, hut that is not our affair.
An Escape from the Tombs.
Tho New York Herald, of Thursday,
says: “Yesterday afternoon, at about
half-past one o’clock, William J. Sharkey,
tho condemned murderer of Bob Dunn,
escaped from the Tombs. In this age,
when a wreath of romance is woven for
the brow of almost every crime, it is af
fecting to discover that picturesqneness
is not wanting to the environment of a
felon awaiting death upon tho gallows.
Yesterday morning at ten, a girl named
Maggie Jonrdnn called to soe Sharkey,
and was admitted, going out again at one.
At half-past twelve a woman, calling her
self the wife of Wes’ Allen, was admit
ted for the 3ame purpose, and on attempt
ing to come out, two hours after, was de
tained because she claimed to have lost
the pass which it would have been nec
essary for her to give up before stepping
outside. Meanwhile, at half-past one—half
on hoar after Maggie Jourdan had left,
and half an hour before the other wo-
man attempted to do so—a person dressed
in the guise of a woman, and wearing
a green veil, passed through the four doors
and tho long corridor which intervened
between Sharkey’s cell and liberty, and,
making rapid progress toward Elm street,
entered a car belonging to the Bieccker
street line. This individual was Wi’.V-.*i
J. Sharkey. The fonr doors through
which ho had to pass were locked, and at
the hour when the escape was made the
long corridor was traversed by many peo
ple. Mrs. Allen’s attempt to go out with
out a pas* was the occasion (so runs the
tale) of suspicion being awakened and of
search being made. It wa3 then that
Sharkey's cell was found vacant, and hu
mustache, freshly shaved off. lying with
the lather on it on a shelf. The fact that
tho door of tho cell in which Sharkey was
confined was always kept locked, except
when temporarily opened to allow of tho
passago of food, and that all communica
tion between him and his visitors took
•lace through xha moveless bars, only
Leightons the suspicion of collnsion.
The Feeling in Wall Street.
Wall street yesterday, says the World
of the 22d, was much disturbed by the
rumored warlike aspect of Cuban affairs.
It was universally scouted that tho Uni
ted States had demanded of Spain the
unconditional abolition of slavery in the
Island of Cuba, as sensationally reported,
and various opinions were expressed re
garding tho effect upon the stock market
of an absolute declaration of war, and the
policy of the Government wa3 condemned
vacillating. A prominent’and repre
sentative stock-broker remarked that tho
present Administration, having lost the
respect and confidence of the financial
and commercial portion of the commu
nity, was now frantically struggling to
regain lost ground by plunging the
country into a war, hoping that it will be
popular. This plan, ho thought, would
not meet the views of responsible men,
who had something to lose and nothing
to gain by a war. The prevailing tone of
feeling, however, seemed to be that, un
less reports had greatly exaggerated, the
Government had put itself in a position
from which it could now extricate itself
only by very prompt and decisive action.
A similar sentiment also prevailed at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening.
Spanish Fleet In Cuban Waters
The captain of the Arapiles, the Span
ish war steamer now undergoing repairs
at the Brooklyn navy yard, informed a
reporter at New York, Wednesday, that
he had received orders from the homo
government to get ready far sea at tho
earliest possible moment, and proceed to
Cabo. He expects his vessel to be ont of
the dry dock in twenty days, when noth
ing further will remain to be done except
to take on board her powder and arma
ment. Her powder is now in the yard
magazine, and her guns, which ore of the
Armstrong pattern, and much praised by
yard officials, are at Cobb dock. The ex
ecutive officer of the Arapiles believed
that in addition to the fleet now in the
West India squadron there could be put
fa the Cuban waters within the time spe
cified at least ten first-class frigates, each
of about eight thousand tons register,
and carrying about twenty-four guns.
Aside from these the Spanish-Cuban fleet
will, within a month, consist of the Arap
iles, 3000 ton* register and seventeen
guns; Pizarro, 2000 tons register and
five guns; Biosco, Vasco Mencz, Hernan
dez Cortez, St. Lucia. Andalusia. Isabel,
Frcneica and Amineza, all of the samo
size and armament as the Pixarro, and
the Gerona, of 5000 tons_ register and
fifty-one guns. In addition to these
there should be mentioned thirty gun
boats built in New York city in 1859,
each of which carries a hundred-pound
gun and fifty men.
Foster lilodgett.
The persistent appetite of Foster Blod
gett for fiduciary positions 13 illustrated
by the Charleston News and Courier in
correcting an account of a little personal
difficulty last week between one Neaglo
and Governor Moses. Says that paper:
It is said, besides, that the considera
tion for the endorsement was the prom
ise of Moses, which he did not keep, to
appoint the notorious Foster Blodgett to
be treasurer of one of the upper counties.
That is tho version of the story which
has come to Charleston-
It is lucky for “one of the upper
counties” that Moses did not keep his
promise. True, all the treasurers in
South Carolina are said to steal, but we
reckon none can show such a facile hand
as Blodgett.

WisniNaroN. November 25.—The first

War Preparations in Havana.
New York, November 25.—A letter
from Havana, dated November 20th, says
there is much talk of war with the United
States. Tho Captain General and his
military chiefs have had several meetings,
but the result of their deliberations is not
known. One tiling is certain, however,
thnt preparations for a defence are being
actively made. Guns are being mounted
on all the forts around the city. Who
they will get to man them is another
matter, a3 they have no artillerymen.
Powder is also being supplied and a gen
eral bustle is noticeable around the ar
senals. Fooplo talk warlike and express
their determination to make no conces
sion. They say they will fight to tho
last before they will give up the Virgin
ias. or any of the persons who took part
in tho execution of her crew.
Conservative journals publish articles
to excite tho people and Republican pa
pers join in for fear they will not bo con
sidered patriotic.
The statement that the Tornado was a
blockade runner is incorrect. She was
built in England for the Chilian Govern
ment at tile time of the war with Spain,
and was captured by the Spanish man-of-
war Gerona, and taken into Cadiz, where
she wa3 condemned and sold. She is a
fine vessel.

Preparing for War.
Washington, November 25.—A Cabi-
inet session of two hours’ duration was
held to-day. All were present except
Robeson, who is in Philadelphia. The
Virgtaiu8 affair only received considera
tion. It is stated that Secretary Robe
son will issue an order for a battalion of
marines to accompany tho Franklin to
Key West, 800 strong, and the command
of tbo same will be tendered to Lieut.
Col. James Forney, a son of Col. John W.
Forney.
The War Cloud Diminishing—Better
Prospect for Peace.
The Cabinet was in session only about
two hoars to-day. All the members were
present, except Secretary Robeson, who is
in Philadelphia, in connection with naval
preparations.
The Spanish question wa* debated, but
no additional facts were presented by the
Secretary of State, nor was any new ac
tion taken relative to tho subject.
Nothing has occurred since the capture
of tho Virginias and the executions
which followed, to show that the Spanish
government is influenced by any but a
friendly desire to preserve peace between
the two nations, and if possible, to culti
vate stronger relations of friendship.
This Government will act towards Spain
as toward all other countries in cases of
controversy, and await with proper re
spect, replies to our complaint.
There is, however, anxiety e:
tor Intelligence from Spain of a
character, in order that Congress may, in
the President’s message, be made ac
quainted with all the fact*.
There are indications that dispatches
were received to-night by both Secretary
Fish and Admiral Polo, the Spanish min
ister bom Madrid, of a character which
gives more than heretofore promised of a
peaceful solution of present complications,
and it is known that these gentlemen
were in private conference for several
hours to-night, at the residence ot Mr.
Fish, comparing dispatches anddiseusstag
gen erally the relation of affairs.
It seems to be the impression that in
stead of our Government having to wait
for reports from Minister Sickles con
cerning the Spanish Cabinet’s view*, the
Spanish Cabinet has conferred extraor
dinary powers on Admiral Polo to com
municate directly with our Government
through the Secretary of State. _ At all
events, the Spanish Minister is now
brought into more intimate communica
tion with Secretary Fish than at any
time since the present trouble began.
It was remarked to-night, by a gentle
man prominently connected with this
Government, that things look far more
hopeful now than ever.

What a Spanish Newspaper lias to Say.
Havana, November 23.—The Diario
de la Marina has an editorial to-day, of
which the following is an extract: “ The
Washington Government knows to-day,
and tho United States Congress will
know to-morrow, the justice with which
tho Spanish authorities have acted. *They
will take care of tho national honor with
out suffering themselves to be influ
enced by tho cries of tho masses,
who know not what these Cuban patriots
are. Far from our minds ho the feelin g of
arrogance; farther, still, the feeling of
debility. From our hearts wo neither
seek nor shun the peril. If the Ameri
cans oblige us to fight we will. If the
mother country oan aid us wo will thank
her, but if wo must contend alone there
are enough Spaniard* in Cuba to keep
our banner safe. We will sell very dearly
that which was once the most brilliant
flower of the Crown of Castile."
