ment of bright sunny weather.
(«. W. Morgan is receiving bids for

" Go away from home to hear the

it and has engaged a first class Ameri

to boarders.
Insanity and Suicide.
Tlie re are as many degrees of insan
ity as there are varieties of suicides.
There are moral, financial, political,
and social qualities belonging as an
Innate right to every citizen* und any
act calculated to weaken or destroy
either of these qualities, may be termed
suicidal.
The degree of insanity under which
the individual is laboring may be de
termined by the act committed.
Those who are afflicted with the
most desparate degree of insanity,
which we will designate as the first
degree, generally make an attempt
upon their life. Those of the second
degree are sure to destroy their moral
life. And those of the third, their
politicaliHe, and so on. If we are not
mistaken, the present legislators, now
in Sacramento, will furnish many ex
amples of politicians suffering in tbe
third degree of insanity.
It is a fact generally conceded that
if Gov. Booth's election to the U. S.
Senate was placed before the people of
California, he would receive two
thirds of the votes of the people with
these facts before them. Those legis
lators who suffer themselves to be
led off, or in any way barter their votes
against him. will as certainly end
their political career in California as
they now breathe. A Democrat.

Alexander H. Stephens, Represent

The London Times publishes the of
ficial list ofthe British subjects taken
prisoners on the Virginius, and after
wards executed at Santiago de Cuba.
The Times, in commenting on the act,
says the British government while
demanding the surrender of the survi
vors, must carefully avoid committing
itself to the position that the seizure
was illegal.
The Department of State has no in
formation to communicate concerning
the arrangement for the surrender of
the Virginius and her surviving pas
sengers and crew to the United States
naval forces. Nothing was received
up to a late hour this evening to cause
the impression that any part of the
protocol will not be carried into effect.

Havana, Dec. 4.
Captain-General Jovellar telegraph
ed to the Madrid government to-night
to the following effect: "The Madrid
government peremptorily orders the
Captain-General to deliver up the
Virginius." General Jovellar respect
fully resigns his position, and demands
that another person be sent to take his
place Mho can carry out the orders of
the government. Considering the ex
cited state of public opinion and the
impossibility of overcoming tlie exist
ing diticulties, General Jovellar sub
mits that his manifesto was prepared,
asking for delay, during which an op
portunity might be given for reflec
tion, ana time gained to allay the fiery,
patriotic spirit of the great national
party in Cuba ; the order from Madrid,
immediately to be executed, deprives
him of the new resource which ho
hoped to have for upholding the au
thority and interest of the country.
In order that the Madrid government
may comprehend the difficulties of tlie
situation and do justice to the order
and perseverance with which he began
his labors, and which had already be
gun to produce fruit. The Captain-
General describes the situation on the
Island and declares that the impres
sion produced by the news of the ar
rangement which had been made be
tween Spain and the United States
can be compared with that produced
in Spain by the treaty at Bayonne,
which led to the war of Independence
against Napoleon. He begs to assure
the government that the immediate
execution of the order will cause a
frightful commotion throughout the
Island which would be sure to result
in a catastrophe. The Spanish are un
willing to surrender the Virginius di
rectly to the United States, but will
surrender her to some neutral power.

' Chicago, Dec. 5.
A New York special says the officers
of the Morning Star, tho vessel which
arrived in New York yesterday morn
ing from Santiago de Cuba, in which
port she was lying when the Virginius
was brought in, give graphic accounts
of the massacre of the prisoners. Mr.
Coffin, second mate of the Morning
Star, wituessed the -execution of the
victims. The first lot, consisting of
Captain Frey and 38 of his crew, were
led out at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon.
They were ranged facing the wall, and
at sufficient distance from it to give
them room to fall forward. Captain
Frey having asked for a glass of water,
one was handed him by Charles Bell,
steward of the Morning Star. Frey
then walked from the end of the line
to the center, and calmly awaited his
fate. He was the only man that fell
dead at the first volley, notwithstand
ing the fact that the firing party were
only 10 feet distant. Then ensued a
horrible scene. The Spanish butchers
advanced to where the wounded men
lay writhing and groaning in agony,
and placing the muzzles of their guns
in some instances to the mouths of
their victims, pulled the triggers,shat
tering their heads into fragmbnts.
Other dying men grasped the weapons
thrust at them, with despairing grip,
and shot after shot was put into their
bodies before death quieted them. All
the bodies were tumbled into carts
and taken at once to the cemetery.
Mr. Coffin says that this batch of
victims, at least, seemed to have no
notion of the fate that awaited them.
They walked along quietly, singing,
chatting, laughing and smoking, as if
on a pleasure trip.
On thi' ibllowitHv worn log twelve Cu
bans were led to the slaughter, and
similar disgusting scenes were re-en-
ROted. The moment the preliminary
ordeY was given, the twelve turned
their heads as if in obedience to a pre
concerted agreement, and throwing
their hands aloft shouted, "Viva Cu
ba's Libertad." This finished" the ex
ecutions that day.
Tli* British war vessel Niobe, and
her commander Lorraine, left Jamaica
in such haste that several of her crew
who were ashore on leave were left
behind. He hardly stopped to cast
atichor at Santiago tie Cuba, before he
hastened ashore and protested against
the killing of any more of the Virgin
ius crew. General Burriel answered
him saucily in a letter, saying that
all the executions that had been or
dered would be immediately proceeded
with. Commander Lorraine instantly
returned reply that in the absence of
an American man-of-war he would
protect not only the interest of his own
country, but those of the United States,
and that if Burriel harmed a hair of
another prisoner, he would bombard
the city, lt was generally believed
at Santiago de Cuba,that this action of
the British Commander saved the
lives of the rest ofthe Virginius crew.
Commander Lorraine, afterwards ob
tained five copies of the process of the
Court Martial, condemning them to
death, two of which he intended to
transmit to our government, aud two
others to his own. Varano Cespedas
del Sol and .'{van were shot early in
the morning. Tlie latter showing ex
traordinary coolness and courage. He
marched along as gaily as if going to
his wedding. A priest advanced to
his side when the place of slaughter
was reached, and ofl'ered the religious
services of his office, but Hyan waived
him off, The officers of tlie Morning
Star say it is not true that the inhab
itant/! of Santiago de Cuba were wild
with joy, but on the contrary, they
were exceedingly silent, and made no
demonstrations Whatever.

THE MESSAGE ON THE VIRGINIUS.
The steamer Virginius was, on the
25th day of September, 1870, duly reg
istered at the port of New York as a
part of tlie commercial marine of the
United States. On the4th of October,
1870. having her certificate in the
usual form, she sailed from the port of
New York and has not since been
within the territorial jurisdiction of
the United States. On the 31st of Oc
tober last, while sailing under tlie
American Hag on the high seas, she
was forcibly seized by a Spanish gun
boat,the Tornado,and was carried into
the port of Santiago de Cuba, where
many of her passengers and crew were
inhumanly snot, and so, at least as re
lated to those who were citizens of the
United States, were without due pro
cess of law put to death, lt is a well
asserted principle, asserted by the
United States from the beginning of
our national independence, and recog
nized by Great Britain and other ma
ritime Towers, and stated by tho Sen
ate in a resolution passed unanimously
on the 16th of June, 1858, that Ameri
can vessels on the high seas in time of
peace, bearing the American flag, re
main under the jurisdiction of the
country to which they belong, and
therefore any visitation, molestation
or interference which such vessels, by
force, on the part of a foreign Power,
may sustain, is in derogation of the
sovereignty of the United States. In
accordance with this principle, the re
storation of the Virginius, and the sur
render of the survivors of her passen
gers and crew, nnd due reparation to
the honor of tlie flag and the punish
ment of the authorities who had been
guilty of the illegal act of violence,
were demanded. The Spanish Gov
ernment has recognized tne justice of
tiie demand, and has arranged for the
immediate delivery of the vessel and
for the surrender of the survivors of,
the passengers and Crew, and for a sa
lute to the flag, and for proceedings
looking to Ihe punishment of these
who may be proved to have been guilty
of illegal acts of violence toward citi
zens of the United Slates; and also to
wards indemnifying those who um
bo shown to be entitled to indemnity.
A copy of the protocol of conference
Hetween tbe Secretary of State and the
Spanish Minister, in which the terms
ot this arrangement was agreed to, will
be transmitted herewith, together
with the correspondence on this sub
ject with the Legation of the United
States in cipher and by cable, and
which need the verification of the act
ual text of tlie correspondence. It has
seemed to me to be due to tlie import
ance of the case not to submit the
correspondence until the actual text
can be received by mail. It is expect
ed shortly, and will be submitted when
received. In taking leave of this sub
ject for the present, I wish to renew
the expression of my conviction that
the existence of African slavery in
Cuba is a principal cause of the la
mentable condition of the Island. I
do not doubt that Congress shares
with me the hope that it will soon bo
made to disappear, and that peace and
prosperity may follow its abolition.
The embargoing of American estates
in Cuba; cruelty to American citizens
who have been detected in no act of
hostility to the Spanish Government;
the murdering of prisoners taken with
out arms in their hands; and, finally,
the capture upon the high seas of a
vessel sailing under the United States
Hag, and having a United States regis
try, has culminated in an outburst of
indignation that"has seemed for a time
to tnreaton war. fending negotia
tions between tho United States and
the Government of Spain on the sub
ject of this capture, I have authorized
the Secretary ofthe Navy to put our
navy upon a war footing to the extent
at least of the entire annual npproprl*
ation of that branch of the service,
{rusting to Congress and the public
opinion of the American people to
justify my action.

PROTOCOL.
Protocol of conference held tit the
Department of State, at Washington,
on the 28th of November, 1873, bet ween
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State-and
Rear-Admiral Don Jose Polo do Ber
nahe, Envoy Extraordinary and Min
ister of Spain: The undersigned, hav
ing met for the purpose of entering
into a definite agreemeent respecting
the case of the steamer Virginius,
which, while under the # flag of the
United States, was, on the Jilwt of Oc
tober last, captured on the high sea by
the Spanish man-of-war Tornado, hav
ing reached the following conclusions:
Spain on her part 9tapulates to restore
forthwith the vessel referred to, and
the survivors of her passengers and
crew, and oh the 25th day of Decem
ber next, to salute the flag of the Unit
ed States. If, however, before that
date, Spain should prove, to the satis
faction of the Government of the Unit
ed States, that tho Virginius was not
entitled to carry the flag of the United
States, and was carrying it at tlie
time of her capture without
right and improperly, the sa
lute will be simultaneously dis
pensed with, as, in such case, not
being a necessary requirement. But
the United States will expect, in such
ease, a disclaimer of intent of indigni
ty to its flag by the act which wat) com
mitted. Further, if, on or before the
25th of December, 1873, it shall be
made to appear to the satisfaction of
tlie United States thaU the Virginius
did not rightfully carry the American
flag, ami was not entitled to Ameri
can papers, the United States will in
stitute inquiry and adopt legal pro
ceedings against any or the persons
who may appear to have been guilty
of illegalities in connection therewith.
It being understood that Spain will
proceed according to tbe second pro
position made to General Sickles and
communicated in his telegram to
Admiral Polo on the 29th inst.,
to investigation the conduct of
those authorities who have infri
nged Spanish laws aud honorary
obligations, and will arraign them
before competent courts and inflict
punishment on those who may have
offended. All other reciprocal recla
mations to be subject to considerations
ana" arrangement between the two
governments, and iv case of no agree
ment, to be subject of arbitration, If
the constitutional assent ofthe Senate
of the United States ho given thereto.
It is further stipulated that the time,
manner and place for tlie surrednder
ofthe Virginius and the survivors of
those who were on board of her at tho
time of her capture, and also (lie time,
manner and place for tlie salute to tho
flag of the United .States, if there
should be occasion for such salute,
shall be subject to agreement between
the undersigned within the next two
days.

Having just returneil with a very
large stock of California nnd Eastern Jewelry

G nrha m A COS solid silver ware, and Rogers
& Bros', silver plated ware, for whom we nre
authorised Rgcnt) lor Southern California and
get our goods direr' from them. The public
should bo sine lo see tha} all sliver ware Is
stamped Rogers & Hro., as there Is a quantity
of goods in the market bearing similar trade
marks, using the name Rogers in various
ways, and so appearing so nearly genuine
ihat unless by paying particular attention
they are liable to be deceived. There is no
ware manufactured by Hop era A Bro. except
that which bears their trade mark to the let
ter. But there are several companies manu
facturing Roger*' ware, and by close inspec
tion you will sen that the trade mark reads
differently, nnd Is not made by Rogers 4 Bro.,
Which Is the acknowledged standard plate
ware, and as we have handled the same for
ten years we can recommend if. We are also
