VOLUME 27. LIFE ASSURANCE. TIME TESTED THE PANIC PROVED TO BE TRUE I 1. During the last throe months business men have been compelled to give nil their time mid energy to save their business from ruin. 2. This proves that tho value of money invested in commercial pursuits is, to a great degree, con tingent upon the life of Its posses sor. Your estate, ns a whole, de prived of your management, must shrink in value from tho moment of your death. 3. Since, therefore, your busi ness, and all your investments, will bo of less value to-morrow If you are dead, than to-day while you arc living,'lt is evident that your life should bo fully insured. Tho hardness of tho times, instead of furnishing an excuse for delay, should add weight to tho argu ments in favor of immediate insur ance, lor If it is hard for YOU to pay a premium NOW, how much harder would it bo for your family to support themselves, In these times, if you wore dead. 4. Discharge at onco this duty which YOU KNOW you owe to your family. Tho feeling that your family is provided tor, no matter what may happen, will af ford you comfort, which an equal amount of money laid out in any other way could not purchase. This question claims your consideration STOW. Weigh it carefully, and decide before the close of the year what action you will take. Before insur ing, examine the EQUITA BLE’S TONTINE SAVINGS FUND POLICY, which offers advantages secured by no other plan of insurance. December I, 1973.

Washington, D. O m Dec. B.—Thoro is a grow ing anxiety apparent with regard to our Spanish complications, notwithstanding tho efforts* of Secretary .Pish 10 instill confidence by denying ugly rumors from Cuba and Spain. Tho opinion seems fast gaining ground that the recent quiet has been but a lull iu tho stoim, and that it will break forth ore long in war. Tho State Depart ment has guarded jealously all that it has received from abroad since tho signing of the protocol, ami that circumstance is taken ns pretty good evidence of the existence of a stato of things not promising for peace, as Mr. Pish has always heretofore appeared only too willing to publish anything that would indicate a peaceful ter mination of tho dillicnlty. Notwithstanding all this, thoro is reason to behove that an adjust ment satisfactory to our people will soon bo bad. WORK OF THE nniTISJI GOVERNMENT. The British Government has been working quiotly in tho cases of alleged British subjects who wore taken on tho Virginias and killed by Burriol, and is convinced that a wrong has boon done her which she only awaits opportunity to avenge. England iu now watching tho chances of a war between tho two republics. If it comes, she will secure her ends without herself being "muclTlnVolved':' if it dooa not come,-and shois compelled to take tbo initiative, tho opportunity then is ours. THE DILEM3IA PRESENTED TO SPAIN. Tlio struggle iu which the Castolar Govern* moot iu engaged is a terrible one, nml has come to bo one to preserve its own existence. It cannot live without making reparation to Groat Britain and carrying out the protocol which fish and Polo drew up, and to which it has agreed 5 and there is, unfortunately, grave reason to believe that it cannot live if it docs proceed to decisive measures. To answer those demands by a declaration of war between Spain ,and Great Britain would bo a popular recourse in Spain, and would speedily uuilo all factions iu favor of the Castolar Bopublic. CONFIDENCE OF THE ANNEXATIONISTS, For tboRO and other reasons, tho advocates of annexation havo of lato grown doubly confident, and profess to boo nob only that their acheuio will bo realized at an early day, but that tho ac quisition of tho island will bo accomplished with but little cost of blood or treasure to tho United States, and will bring us out of tho wholo diiu culty with profit nud honor. SHALL IT HE GREAT BRITAIN OR THE UNITED STATES ? As the matter now stands, tho Government of Great Britain and that of tho United States are each maneuvering to keep out of war, knowing that, without much doubt, one must bccomo in volved; nud tho ono which manages to keep at peace will profit by it, whilo tho ono that goes to war must loco by it. For tho reason that tho United States is tho natural ally of tho sister Republic, and because Great Britain is an enemy against which all Spain will unite, the balance is hi our favor,—so much so that Fish is perfectly confident that tho game is iu ins own bauds. OUR FRIENDS IN CURA. Jovollar has not resigned, and probably will not do so. Tho mass of tho pcoplo in Cuba an our frlomls. They aro downtrodden, op pressed, and maddened; and, should the worst corao, will riso nml oxtorminato tho wealthy slave-holding classes, who strlvo to infiamo public sentiment ou the island against us. Tho wealth and aristocracy of Cuba hate and oppose ns, but tho numbers aro with us, and may bo relied upon in tho emergency of an attempt by tho Spaniards to provout tho fulfilling of tho protocol. [To the Anocfatcd Warrington, D. C., Doc. C. —Ttio diplomatic branch of our Government is not so houeful now as it was several days ago of tho ability of Spain to carry out its orders. The suggestion of a modification of tho protocol, that tho Virginias may bo delivered to a*third party to await ndjii catlon. does not at present moot with any ofiicial favor. Tho statement, as published to-day, that thoro was not ono United States naval vessel at Havana yesterday, iu accounted for by tho fact that it was part of tho arrangement between Secretary Fish and tho Spanish Minister that thoro should bo no snow or menace whatever on our pari, which could not fall lo in crease the excitement at Havana mid elsewhere iu (Juba, while the plan of release wan intended to be effected ycHtoiday In tltn quietest manner possible. Inquiries Imvo boon made at the Navy Depart ment concerning the United States steamer Kansas. which sailed for Santiago do Cuba about the middle of lust month. Not tho slightest uneninnoHHlß felt by old naval nftlcora regarding that vessel. THEItK IS NO EXCITEMENT in any quarter conoorning the VirginlUß ques tion, although *oniu curiosity in expressed to learn the condition of ulfuirs at Havana, Oliicial advices aro withhold from tho public for pru dential considerations, Tim Cabinet to-day talked over tho situation, but nothing was done to change tho position of affairs, Tho delay in the delivering of tho Virgiulns occasions much disappointment. Tho omlmrrassmouls sur rounding tho Homo Government ■ in tho matter are appreciated, and, therefore, wit hout a formal prolongation of tho time, the Administration will wait until the delivery can ho effected in the way that can give the least rilfnnto to Spanish pride. It is believed, from what has boon privately said in ulUciat quartern, that it was not agreed between Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo {hat the Vlrglniun should ho surrendered at tho*i)ort of Havana, hut that THE VESSEL SHOULD HE TAKEN EHOM TUB IIAUCOII and oonvovod beyond its inrisdioiion. and then delivered to such United mates vcsi-ol as might ho sent to receive it, preparation being madn to give timely notice of l ran a Cop. It is considered that this course would give less occasion for offense than If one or more of unr ship* should So directly to Havana for that purpose. Our ovornmont loaves to Spain the fulilllmout of Its obligation, bur if this should prove Itnpracti* cable, the facts will bo reported to Congress for Ua action. NEW YORK GOSSIP AND OPINION. Sveeial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, TUB EXCITEMENT REAWAKENED. New York, Deo. D.—Tho receipt to-day of tho nows tlmt Capt.-Gcn. Jorcllar had resigned rath er than oxoouto tlio orders of tliollomo Govern ment, and that tho Volunteers would not givo up tho Vlrginius until compelled to do so by force of arms, has reawakened tho war excitement, and Increased tho interest in the Cuban ques tion. There is but little doubt but that the ma jority of Ibo Spaniards in this city oppose tho surrender of tho Virginias, on the ground tlmt by bor ornmd sho forfeited her nationality. WHAT SPANIARDS IN AMERICA SAV. Sonor Conla, editor of El Cranista, tho Span ish organ in this city, said to-day that ho had conversed with many Spaniards in Now York, and had received letters from prominent Span iards in dliTcront parts of tho Union on tho tmb joct, and ail had expressed tho hopo that tho Yirginius would not bo given up. None of his correspondents favored tho acknowledgment of tno independence of Cuba, or her annexation by the United States. They declared that tlio tVhlciar Government would bo overthrown if it persisted in conceding the demands of tho United Stales Government. CUBAN SENTIMENT. All Cubans bhunu Mr, Fish for not tailing a stronger stand and more actlvo measures, and say ho ought to bo impeached, Gen. MuuuM Qnosuda thinks it highly probahlo that the re port that Jovollnr and Solor ’y I’ia have resigned is true, and behoves that tho Volunteers will not give up tlio Virginias until compelled to do so by force of anus. Hu says ho is expecting in telligence of tho highest importance, but at present declines to hint at Ur nature. A PETITION roil ANNEXATION. Tho fact was made Known to-dav by promi nent lawyers that a certain United States Sena tor* is in possession of a petition from tho Cuban P.opuhlio for tho annexation of tho Island to the United Stales. This he expects to piouout to Congress, and while somo members are un derstood to counsel it?) instant presentation, others advise further delay. SPANIARDS GETTING HEADY FOR WAR. It is said by many prominent persons who nro in a position to know that a largo unmoor of Spaniards have ordered thou* agents in this city dispose of iheirUnitcdatalesbonds. Somo think Jovellar is insincere, and that his reported resig nation ia only a blind by which the Spanish Gov ernment expects to delay any active demonstra tion on tho part of the united States. [To the Associated Prcio.) ARMS AND AMMUNITION FOR CODA. New York, Deo. s.— Tlio Jfopresn says : “Tho Albert W. Smith, a largo two-masted schooner, sailed from EUzabothport, N. J., mi Thursday, with, it was reported, coal for the fleet, but it’is now ascertained that she really carried arms and ammunition for Cuba." NO FURTHER I'ARUSY. A Cuban gentleman who returned from Wash ington thin morning states that, ho conversed with Secretary Fiuii aud eevtial Senators, and thov assured him that any fuilhor diplomacy with Spain on tho Virginias question would bo declined. They believed tho Spanish author)- ties iu Cuba would refuse to accede to tho propo sitions of tho protocol, and that war would probably bo tho consequence. NO NEWS FROM HAVANA. New York, Dae. s.—Mo dispatches have been received for the Associated Bromi during the night from Havana. Too usual markets are missing. THE AMERICAN NAVY. special Dispatch to Tin Chicago 3Vi6uh«. THE SPANISH SHIP ARAPILES. New York, Deo. s.—Tho Swatara still Hob at tho Stewart dry-dock in tho Brooklyn Navy ' Yard, wherein tho Spanish ship-of-wur Arapiloa has been undergoing ropniis. Those repairs have been completed two or three days, but tho position of tho Swatara has prevented them from getting her out. Tho officers of tho vessel grumble a great deal, and claim that there is a broach of faith ou tho part of tho yard oillcials. Tho report that tho Government had devised a pretext for detaining tho Arapilos until after tho sailing of tho Colorado is understood to he untrue. When the Arapilos leaves tho dry dock, it will take at least four days to got her battery and supply of coal ou board, lilvouif iilio was to got oht to-morrow, tbo Colorado would bo far ou her way to tho Gulf Squadron Leforo the Arapilos could leave port. Tho Col orado is likely to sail to-morrow. I.A» tba Associated Treat.] VESSEL!* AT THE LIIUOKLVN YARDS.

SPANISH’SENTIMENT IN NEW YORK. From the ,Veic York Timer, Fee. 4. A call was freely circulated among the Snanlnb residents of tho city, yesterday, calling upon all who were in favor of “ maintaining ih'o* honor and dignity of tho Homo Government,” “and who were opposed to tho protocol recently agreed to by Secretary Pish, on tbo part of tho United Beales Government, and Admiral Polo, ilia representative of Spain, on the pare of (ho Spanish Itepublic, to assemble »t tho remilonco of Purror Do Conto, editor of Kl Cronhla, to give expression to their viows, and to take some action on tho uublnot." Accordingly, at tbo ap pointed hour, 8 o’clock lust evening, u mooting was hold at Mr, Como's residence on Tweniy-ilfth street, at which some thirty or mam Spanish citizens were in utiondanoo, among the mmihor Mohbvb, Verca, Miranda, Carrio, Garrotta, Yoga, ami others well known in this city. Mr. J. l-’crrer do Conto called tho meeting to order, and made the principal address of tho evening, lie said it had boon deemed ad visable, inviow of tho recent action of tho repre sentatives of tho United Stiles and Spanish Governments in tho settlement of tho difficulties wining out of tho eapinro of tho Yirgimus, for tho Spanish residents of tho city—the chief Metropolitan City In tho United States--to como together ami doeido whether they indorsed Ad miral Polo’s action or not. iWono. and as a Spaniard, ho protested against Admiral Polo’s action, and would venture to say that his views would bo seconded by every loading Span iard orr this side of thp Atlantic. Ho wished tho mooting to decide whether the Virginias capture was right; whether the United Stums had any right to interfere. Ho thought not. Tho terms of the protocol did not moot with tho views of tho Spanish citizens lion, nor did (ho Spaniards in other cities feel satisfied to have It go abroad limb they acceded to tho agree mont. Mr. Conto said ho hud letters from'had ing Spanish oUleeua, who resided in Hovoi alla'go NUMBER 107 citloß in tho United Slates, who denounced Ad miralPolo'si action, and it was tho duty of the mooting to inform the Homo Government that thin fooling existed hero. Others addressed tha mcollng, and tlio tenor of their romurkfl wan (o tho ofTcet that the United HtatoH liad no right to interfere with tho execution of tho prisoners ou board tho Virginias.
