Washington, 14. wns The session of the Cabinet coutinneil orer two hours, and the most important which has taken place under The rresident Grant. 8 administration. capluro of the "Virginius" and the perpetrated by the Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba, formed the subject of serious consideration and definite action toward maintaining the dignity of the United Slates io the existing complications, was taken. All the members of the Cabinet are ex:reme)y reticent as to the conclusion reached. One memb. r, when approached on the subject, replied: "As to the nature of I can say the action Agreed upon nothing, but you may rest assured the people of the country will be satisfied." Immediately after the adjournment of the Cabinet, Secretary Robeson repaired to the Navy Department, and first had a long conference with the Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repairs as to the fitting out for sea of several vessels no laid tip, and then with the Chief of the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, relative to furnishing such vessels with a complement of inen.siores, etc. Affairs about the department are conducted with secrecy. Various rumors as to the determare circulated ination of the Cabinet, one of which is that Government will demand of Spain the immediate arrest and punishment of the parties mainly instrumental in conducting the outrage, and if the Castelar government shall be unable to give the required catisfaction, this government will proceed to the extreme measures necessary to obtain it. Though no Cabinet officer admits directly that this is one of tho conclusions arrived at, there is still no positive denial. It is believed that one of the subjects discussed by the Cabinet was that of the Spanish now undergoing repairs at New York, and that it was remarked in the course of consultation that should that vessel by any possibility come into the hand of this government, its possession would more than compensate for the loss of the "Virginius," so far as the coinpar-ntiv- e value of the ships are concerned. The Treasury Department, upon the requisition of the Navy, shipped $30,000 to Norfolk, the headquarters of the North Atlantic fleet, in order that there might bo no delay in fitting out and supplying the vessels now under orders to leave with the least possible letay, for Cuba and other points in the West Indies. Scott, commanding the eiDodition, will sail from .Norfolk en Monday on the "Worceter" his ilagship; for Havana. Specific instructions have ben giveu to him by government to report daily to the de partment by telegraph, from Key 7est, and not upon the Havana cab e, which is under the control of the Spanish authorities. It is ouly ci lit hours' run from Havana to Key West. Should a rupture occur between the two governments it will bo tho policy of the United Stales to land a suthcie.it force on the Island of Cuba. It is mentioned by ptoiiiinent cabinet officers that ten thou-.- i a J men would, in ait probability, be in excels of the number of troops establish, beyond any chance of failure, the authority of the United Xates. In Cuba, the President, while he will guard to the extreme the rights of American citiiens, und defend the policy which has been determined upon, will also make earned recommendations tv Congress in his forthcoming message.

Au incorrect has been circulated that Secretary r'ish has asserted that in case the "Virginius" whs captured in British waters it wauld be necessary for England to hold Spain responsible for a violation of jurisdiction, and that this government would also make such a requirement. The position of Secretary Eish is t hold Spain responsible for the insult to our flag, ito matter whether the act occurred ia British, American or Spanish waters. Nothing is known in official circles out the reported execution of the remainder of the crew of the "Virginius." The item was, it is alleged, based on a telegram from Cuba received in New York, and which was telegraphed to Xk'W York. to-da- y bar-Pariti- es to-da- ht man-of-wa- r, to-da- y, Rear-Admir- al Ha-m- t br San Franoisee, 14, dispatch from San Juan, south, day, says: By the arrival of the stage from New Idria, we learn that there was a sheep herder murdered near New Idria on the 12th inst., by two men, one of them Chaves, a companion of The man was shot six times, and then Chaves cut bis throat.

Yerger ment square presided, and resolutions in favor of granting belligerent's rights to Cuba were passed. New York, 14. Excitement over the Cuban affair continues; but opinions differ as to the proper or probable action. Government work in fitting out the "Juniata" is progressing rapidiy. This afternoon she shipped her armament and powder and to join tne will probably sail North Atlantic squadron. Nothing yet which has been done to the "Roanoke, is still lying in the river. No further orders have been received at the Navy Yard, officers say; but work continnes with unusual activity, and the assertions of the officers are disbelieved by some, because it is said movements are constantly being made for which orders must have come from tho Secretary of the Navy. The opinion is expressed at the Yard that the U. S. Government will be jus ified in seizing the Spanish frigate "Arapides," now lying there for repairs. There is nothing new at the Cuban Junta's headquarters. A dispatch via Jamaica, says on the 10th all the remaining "Virginius ' prisoners were marched out and ten detailed for execution at a time. When these ten were murdered another ten were marched up, and their dead bodies fell across those of their companions. St. Louis, 14. There is a great deal excitement here over Cuban affairs. Prominent influential citizens, believing that the American honor requires, as common humanity urges, prompt and vigorous action on the part of our Government, have signed for a public meeting at call the Court House to morrow evening, te discuss the matter. Boston, 14. Orders have been received at the Navy Yard, here, to fit out the United States frigate "Brooklyn," so that she can sail o the 15th of December. It is stated that tho "Franklin" is also to be got ready for sea. Two hundred sailors leave the receiving ship "Ohio" tomorrow for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A a. Vas-que- z. to-da- y. ht FOREIGN. St. Johns, N. B., 14. A fire broke out this morning in the Allen Foundry at Carlton,' on the west side of tho harbor, and continued to burn fiercely until the foundry, with gome twenty other buildings, were entirely consumed, leaving thirty families homeless. Steam fire engines have been sent for from Su Johns to assist in subduing the flames. A strong westerly wind is blowing. The tide is falling and fears are entertained that the water will leave the slips before the fire is got. under control. The loss will be heavy. Havana, 14. The trials of all the prisoners taken on board the "Virginius" are concluded. Only eighteen will be saved from death. Of these several engineers or firemen who were ignorant of the destination of the expedition, and four or five will be set at liberty. The others will probably be condemned to the chain gang. Madrid, 14. The Imperial has a long article on the execution at Santiago and endeavors to show that it is not possible for the United States government to make any demand whatever on Spain in consequence of those proceedings. It argues that the majority of the American people want to see the Spanish republic united and successful. President Grant and his advisors see this, and are not likely to imperil the hopes of republicanism in Spain by preaiptating complications abroad when 'internal troubles demand all her strength. Havana, via Key West, 15. The following account of the events at Santiago de Cuba, received hero on Friof day morning the 7ih : Thirty-seve- n the crew of the "Virginius", were bro't on shore and taken to prison to remain thereuntil their execution, which was ordered for that p. m. Captain Fry, a old man, fully a head tallg er than the rest of the crew, when he met his men on the wharf, previous to the march to prison, Baluted them all The salute was returned with affection. At 4.45 Capt. Fry and thirty-simen and officers were publicly shot, despite the protest of all competent foreign authorities. The marines were seven minutes killing the wretched prisoners. It seemed that they would never finish. At last the sailors were marched off, and the troops filed past the long row of corpses. Then the dead carts were hur . to-da- noble-lookin- x y ried up and loaded indiscriminately with the mangled remains. The American Consul has done all that could have been done; indeed, it was threatened that his exequatur would be withdrawn for his exertions in behalf of the prisoners. In an interview with Gen. Barriel, that officer yelled at him otherwise treated him disrespectfully. The British Consul also made an ineffectual protest against the execution. It is reported that sixtecn.of the victims were British subjects. Rome, 15. The Italian parliament was opened today by the King in person. In a speech from the throne the King said he hoped for a continuance of the work of internal organization, that thus Italy might her prosperity, amid order and condisafety, which were indispensable tions of industry and progress.

"If anybody wants to believe in tho spirituality of womanhood, let him not visit between 12 and 2,noon, any of the down twno restaurants. His belief will be sadly shaken. Woman have a right to cat, no doubt. Nature has given them stomaeh3 and digestive organs whose demands are just as clamorous as the same apparatus in men. We think none the less of women going to the table with a good appetite. Amorys, who would have us believe they subsist on air, but who take private lunches on the sly, and trifle in public with a plate of soup or a bit of pastry, conscious that the demands of nature were more than satisfied a couple of hours ago. Only, there is a point beyond which a good appetite ceases to be a virtue, and this point is daily passed by the women who frequent public restaurants.' You will ask us why we do not attBck the men. Bless you, the men are not worth attacking. We gave theni up, so far as eating and drinking are concerned, long ago. For their gormandizing we expect no cure until the women have set them a better example. "We defy Tennyson and Longfellow to take a lunch at Currier's, for instance, and then write an ode in praise of womanhood, deduct their inspiration from the scene from whence they have just come. The thing cannot be done. It is impossible to adore the woman who smacks her lips over a juicy chop and orders a fresh relay ot steak after she has had quite sufficient. Observe the happy medium, ladies as Charles II. Foster would say were he writing the present article. Dont't eat too much. Use your digestive organs as though you ought to use your tongue and find out when to stop. A woman never looks beautiful to anybody but a restaurant keeper when her face is flushed with a bottle of Scotch ale and roast beef ad libitum. Recollect that Cornaro, that model of temperance, said three hundred years ago, and keep in your mind, especially when you swallow a repast' before a room full of male observers, that what wo leave after having eaten heartily does us more good than what we have eaten.
