Government allowed the Virginias to aid a party of outlaws twice. The commander of th Virginias knew the consequences if they were caught and they havo sullered them. That is the worst I have said. I nm a citizen citi-zen of the United States, why should not havo the same right as others who call government olFicials thieves and liars and fools? I never did thnt." "Do you eommunicato with Cuba by telegraph?" "Xo, only by letter." "When did you li car from there?" "I received a large pack-ago pack-ago of letters last night." "What was their import?" "Well, every one is for war. Tho United States have made too severe a demand, and tho Spaniards, having all along felt that they were injured instead of the injurers, will as one man resist the Home Government if it tries to 'enforce 'en-force the unreasonable demand which Castellar has acccedcd to. There is no excitement in Havana. That is nil false, but the papers, officials and people are determined to fight, or at any rate to maintain their dignity by a refusal to acknowledge themselves in the wrong."

Spain will sympathize with him, and j that when he declares war, at he will 1 if Castellar does not restrict ins present pres-ent action, the Spaniards will throw the latter from tho balconies of his residence. |
