It is less than twenty-live years
sine; another vessel whose crew met
its fate in a Spanish jvort in Cuba
was the subject of an intense public
interest as to-day is directed toward
the Maine. The ease of the Virjrinius
bad in it elements of tragedy that
made it more spectacular ami dra
matic than that of the Maine, and
American spirit was worked to an
even higher tension than it is now
before diplomacy and caution avert
ed a war between the United States
and Spain. In the case of the Vir-
giniws the facts of Spanish aggres
sion were in no way denied, but on
the contrary, avowed for a time with
prilt; until the authorities at Madrid
subdued their people, who were
making a sentiment more dillicult by
their talk. The only controversy
was as to whether or not Spain's
action in the matter was within its
rights. But the settlement, how-
ver it may have left the rights of
the vessel still unsolved, was a re
buke to Spain, and for its execution
of American citizens with scarelv a
formality of. law it has never been
orgiven by those who remember
it,
to
whatever diplomacy decided as
being sat islicil.
The Virginius was originally an
Knglish-built side wheel steamer call
ed the irtrm, ami uinnr me war
between tht,i States was one of the
most famous blockade runners until
captured by a vessel of the United
States. In 1 S7i she was sold in
Washington to an agent of the Cuban
Junta at Xew York, her name was
chano-ed to Virginius, and she cleared
for Curacoa 111 the West Indies.
From that time until her unhappy fate
she was never in the United States
waters. At Aspinwall and in the
ports of Venezuela, and the West
Indies she was known for three years
as the most daring and most success
ful of lilibusterers, making repeated
landing on the Cuban coast with
supplies of arms, ammnition, food
and clothes for the insurgents who
were then fighting the ten-year war.
In all her filibustering it was claimed,
however, that the Virginius never
lost her character as an American
ship, though the Cuban flag was kept
at the masthead whenever that
practice served any good purpose.
The vessel sailed on the fatal voyage
from Kingston Jamaica, October 23,
187:$, having cleared at the United
States consulate as a United States
vessel bound for Port Simon, Costa
Kico. The commander was Captain
Joseph Fry, a citizen of the United
Stat-s. The cargo was made up of
munitions of war for the Cuban insur
gents, and the crew was part of
Cuban and part of American citizens.
There were also on board a number
of enlisted men on their way to join
the insurgent army.
It was not until October 31 that
the Virginius approached the coast
of Cuba to make her landing, and
was intercepted by the Spanish gun
boat Tornado. The Tornado had been
built by the same English firm that
constructed the Virginius, also for
blockade running, but in the race
that followed the Virginius was un
able to equal the speed of the Spanish
pursuer. The chase lasted eight
hours, during which the men of the
Virginius threw overboard all the
munitions and guns they carried, to
destroy evidence of their intentions.
Finally at 10 o'clock at night, the
Virginius was stopped and surren
dered in response to the cannon shots
of the Tornado, which had come in
range. The captain protested that
his papers were regular and that the
Virginius was "an American ship,
carrying American colors and papers,
with an American captain and Ameri
can crew." In response he was told
that he was a pirate, his tlag was
lowered and trampled upon and the
Spanish Hag hoisted in its place..
When the Tornado and the Vir
ginius reached Santiago de Cuba the
next day the 155 men captured were
idaced in close con tine men t antl a
court martial was convened at once
The various courts-martial condemn
ed most of them to death, this
summary proceeding being, as it was
alleged, in accordance with Spanish
laws, so far at least as the character
of the court and the nature of the
judicial forms were concerned. The
tirst executions were on the morning
of November 4. when four men were
shot one of them beinsr Brigadier
Washington Hvan, who claimed
British citizenship, as a Canadian,
although he had served in the Union
army during the late war. The
victims were shot in the back, their
bodies were afterwards beheaded, the
heads displayed on spikes and the
trunks trampled by horses. George
W. Sherman, the correspondent of
the Xew York Herald, tried to sketch
the scene, and was imprisoned for
four days for his attempt. A guard
kent the American Consul in his
house, so he could not appear to pro
test.
On November 8. twelve more men
were executed, and November 13
thirty-seven were executed, this last
batch included the oflicers and crew
of the Yiririiiius and most of the
American citizens. At 4 o'clock in
the afternoon the condemned men
were marched to the place of execu
tion, passing and saluting the Amer
ican consulate, where the Hair was
not flying from its staff. Captain
Fry was shot lirst and was the only
man. though the soldiers stood but
! ten feet away, who fell dead at the
tirst volley." The maioritv of the

were wounded and killed as they lay

was among those executed, ne naa
made a declaration to the Spanish
that he had tampered with the
engines and cut down the speed of the
vessel, so that he could be captured,
aud was marched with the rest to
prevent his comrades from knowing
what he was to be spared for. He
was shot by mistake, while making
frantic protests and explanations,
but, as he was a traitor in one way
or the other, his death was the only
one of all that was never regretted.
During ajl this time the consuls
at Santiago were not idle, but they
were helping E. G. Schmidt, the
American Vice Counsul andThoedorc
Brooks, the British Vice Consul, who
made all sorts of protests that were
unavailing. Schmidt was not per
mitted to see the prisoners before or
after the court martail until the very
end, when he reached Captain Fry
and signed his protest with him. He
was not permitted the use of the
telegraph in order to communicate
with the Government at Washington
by way of Kingston, Jamaica. He
wrote repeated notes to General Bur
riel, the Spanish commander at San
tiago, getting no answers to them,
until at last an answer came that was
more irritating than silence. Burriel
told him that he should have known
the previous day was a day of relig
ious festival, during which he and all
his officers were engaged in "medita
tion of the divine mysteries' and
could not consider temporary affairs.
He also informed the Consul that he
might be expelled from the island
for trying to embroil the United
States "and Spain in difficulties if he
were not careful.
Then came the only bright spot in
the whole affair. News of what was
going on reached Jamaica, and the
British gunboat Niobe, Captain Sir
Lambton Lorraine, left for the scene
of massacre, sailing in such a
great
hurry that he left some of the crew
ashore. The Captain lauded at San
tiago before his ship was anchored
and demanded that the slaughter be
stopped instantly. He declared that
he represented the United States as
well as England, and that he would
bombared the city if there were
another American citizen executed.
Ninety-three men were under sen
tence "to death, many of whom were
Americans, but the sentence was im
mediately suspended and their lives
were saved. The Spanish afterwards

declared that the executions were
stopped because of orders received
from Madrid. The next time Sir
Lambton was in New York he was
offered a reception, which he de
clined. He was presented, however,
which were engraved the words:
"Blood is thicker than water.11 A
resolution of thanks to him was laid
on the table in the House of Rep
resentatives and never passed.
When the news of all this reached
the United States public indignation
rose rapidly. Mass meetings were
held demanding vengeance on Spain.
President Grant sent special mes
sages to Congress, and the State De
partment began diplomatic negotia
tions. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of
State, declared that the Virginius,
having been registered as an Ameri
can vessel carrying official docu
ments regular upon their face, and
hearing the United States tlag, was
entirely beyond the jurisdiction of
anv other nower on the hiirh seas in
time of peace; that if she had secur
ed fraudulent entry or committed
any other fraud against the laws of
of the United States, it was for her
to be turned over to the United
States courts for punishment by
some other power. The Spanish
Minister of Foreign Affairs at that
time was Admiral Tolo de Bernabe,
father of the new Spanish Minister,
who succeeds Dupuy de Lome. He
wanteil to submit the matter to
arbitration, and Secretary Fish re
plied to him "that the United States
ws ready to refer to arbitration all
questions of proper subject for refer
ence, but that the question of an in
dignity to the flag of the nation and
the capture in time of peace on the
high seas, of a vessel bearing that
flag and having also the register and
O t
papers of the American ship, is not
deemed to be referable to other
powers to determine. A nation must
be the judge aud custodian of its
honor.'1
Most of the men were executed
after protests to Madrid began to be
made. Madrid mobs made a de
monstration against the American
Minister, General Sickles, November
4, Secretary Fish cabled Sickles: "In
case of refusal of satisfactory repara
tion witlfin twelve days from this
date close your legation and leave
Madrid." Teu days later, when the
executions were over, he telegraph
ed: "If Spain cannot redress these
outrages, the United States will."
Ten days after that he wired: "If no
settlement is reached by to-morrow,
leave.1' Next day Spain became
the present season

ward that the latter influence be
came dominant, and that his recall
from that post was the result of their
work to punish him for his energy
that was not always diplomatic in its
forms.
The terms of the settlement of the
trouble were that the Virginius
should be surrendered to an Ameri
can warship with survivors of those
who had been captured with her,
and that on December 25, the United
States flag should be saluted by the
Tornado. The surrender was made
in the obscure harbor of Bahia
Honda, December 16, the Spanish
having taken the Virginius there to
avoid the humiliation of a surrender
in Santiago or Havana, where it
should have been made. Captain W.
I). Whiting, the chief of staff of the
North Atlantic squadron, was ap
jKiinted to receive the surrender of
the Virginius, and the gunboat Dis
patch was sent to Bahia Honda with
him for that purpose. Lieut. Adolpli
Marix was the flag lieutenant of the
Dispatch, the same who is now the
advocate judge of the Court of In
quiry on the Maine disaster. The
Virginius was delivered with the
flag flying, but she was unseaworthy,
ami, struck by a storm off Cape Hat
teras: was sunk on her way to New
York. The salute to the flag that
had been arranged was waived by
the United States because the Attor
ney General gave an opinion that
the Virginius had no right to fly the
American flag when she was cap
tured. No idemnity was paid for the
lives of the American citizens who
had been executed, and the incident
was declared to be closed.

(Geo. U. Uepworth, in N. Y. Herald.)
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew, vl, 34.
Here is a bit of philosophy too pro
found to be appreciated without care
ful and continuous study. It also
contains a stern injunction not to
worry over what cannot be heljed.
but, on the other hand to make the
best of our circumstances. You are
commanded to let the past go its
way into the land of forgetfulness,
and not to borrow from the future
the troubles which you fear it may
contain, but to live in the present as
far as possible. It is a command
very difficult to obey, and yet obedi
ence, is absolutely necessary if you
would get out of life all that God has
put into it.
The man who has a vivid remem
brance of his past troubles and who
cherishes that memory deliberately
throws a gloom over his present. If
he will confine himself to the duty of
the moment he will generally find
that he is quite equal to it, but if he
collects all the miseries of yesterday
and of the day before aud adds them
to the burdens of to-day he becomes
isheartened, and his discouragement
saps his moral strength and produces
moral weakness. iou have enough
to do to face what is immediately be
fore you, and if von conjure up the
hosts of misdeeds and of trials which I
ave been outlived vou do vourselt a
. . r . r
serious injury and interfere with !
our spiritual or business success.
In like manner, if you think vou
can master to-day's work, but dampen
our ardor bv wondering how vou
ml r .
are going to get through to-morrow,
ou produce a nervous tention which
debilitates and brings about the very
failure that you dread. o man can
carry more than one day at a time.
When Jesus asks you not to attempt
to do so lie gives you wise counsel,
and you had better follow the advice.
..ife is not so smooth that you can
afford to make it rougher bv recall-
ng the bad roads over which you
have already passed or anticipating
the bad roads over which you will
have to pass before the end of the
ourney is reached. You mav be
cheerful, and therefore strong, if you
will forget the things that are behind
and let the future take care of itself;
but if you propose to add yesterday
and to-morrow to to-day you will do
what God warns you against doing.
and will certainly make a great mis
take.
If the sun shines now, be grateful
and contented. Suppose it did rain
yesterday or suppose we are to have
blizzard to-morrow, iou have got
beyond the rain on the one hand, and.
on the other, the time has not come
to meet the blizzard. It is foolish to
make yourself miserable now because
you were miserable a few days ago or
because you may bo miserable a lew
days hence. One duty, one labor at
a time is quite enough. If there is
any enjoyment to be had, take it with
an eager grasp for if you sit in the
warm sunshine five minutes it helps
you to bear the cold of the next five
minutes. It is poor policy to spoil
those five minutes.
Let me illustrate. There is noth
ing in connection witn death more
wearing than the regret that you did
not do more for the one who has
gone. This is a universal experience
with those who have anv heart. The
fact of separation seems to have
magic in it, for it is suddedly reveal
ed to you that there were many little
attentions which you failed to render.
and the remembrance pierces like
knife. No one ever parted with
loved-one without self-blame of that
kind.
But as a general thing it is all an
illusion conjured up by overwrought
nerves. In very truth you did what
ever the circumstances suggested.
you did as much as human nature is
capable of doing, but in the presence
of death you accuse yoursell of things
of which you are quite innocent, an
in doing so you make the parting
harder to bear. It mav be well for
the dear one that he has gone. He
has sweet sleep for the first time in
many months. He is glad that the
bonds of mortality are broken, that
he is at last released, and in th
lower depths of your own heart you
are also glad lor his sake. But ther
comes this thorny thought, that you
may have been remiss, and your sou
is wrung by it.
You do yourself a wrong. You did
what you could. You wen; loving,
tender, gentle and more than kind.
You have real burdens enough with
out adding imaginary ones. Your
tears must not be embittered by an
accusation which has no basis in fact.
Life is too precious and too short to
be wasted in regrets of that kind.
The duties of the future demand your
close attention, and vou have no
right to think of the dead except to
recall a sweet relationship and to
dream of a reunion.
Live your life as quitely and as
peacefully as possible. Live in each
day as it comes. Other days, whether
past or future, must not be allowed
to press on your heart. This is the
noblest policy you can adopt, the
policy which comes to you as a divine
injunction. Let neither regret nor
anticipation intrude upon you to
make you weak.
It is evident that there is a plan
according to which your life is ar
ranging itself, and equally evident
that if you are reposeful and trustful,
doing the duty of the present hour
and not fretting over the duty of the
next hour, you are in a mental con
dition which keeps all your powers
at their best.
