The Cuban Horror Mew the Virginia
was Captured.
The "Time" special from Havana, of
the 10th, gives the following account of the
capture of the Virgjuius : The Tornado,
which made the capttwo, was cruising on
the 81st of Ootober, about eighteen miles
from the Cuban coast. Iu the afternoon
she sighted a steamer about nix miles dis
tant,headed towards her. The Captain
at once ordered steam te be got up, and
soon saw that the steamer bad altered her
course, and Leaded for the coast of Jamai
ca, distant about one hundred miles.
The Spanish Captain at once suspected
from this that the steamer was the Virgin-
ins. He ordered the engineer to get up all
the steam possible, even if they burst the
boilers, and drive the engines at their ut
most speed. The Tornado, under full
headway, showed such speed that it was
clear In a long chase she would overhaul
the stronger. But as night was coming
the Spanish Captain feared ho should lose
sight of the vessel. The moon rising,
however, he was enabled by keeping all
bands on deck, at the masthead and In the
rigging, to keep a sharp lookout. The
steamer was kept iu sight until the corvette
bad neared sufficiently to bring bcr guns
to bear on ber. The scene on the deck of
the Spaniard was one of intense excite
ment. The fugitive steamer, it was now
' quite evident, for whatever reason, was
very anxious to escape. She was observed
to throw her cargo overboard, and empty
boxes and other material floated past the
Spaniard.
A shot was fired, but the stranger made
no reply and four others were fired in suc
cession. The lost shot was fired at ten P.
M., and immediately the steamer which
led the corvette a chose of nearly eight
hours hove to. Two boats ware launched
and manned and pulled along side. They
mot no resistance in boarding the steamer,
which they had discovered beyond doubt to
be the Virgiuius. They took possession of
her by hauling down the American flag,
which the Virginius had displayed through
out the chase, and hoisted the Spanish flag
instead. Captain Fry, of the Virginius, in
the usual manner, banded over the stcam-J
er's papersjfor examination by the ofilcro in
command of the boarding party, and that
officer at once took charge of them, and
both vessels headed for Santiago de Cuba.
On the first of November, at five o'clock
in the afternoon, they arrived at Santiago
de Cuba. Proceedings were immediately
begun against the captives as pirates, and
notwithstanding the protest of the United
States Vice Consul at the port, were con
demned, and on the morning of the fourth
of November four were shot. A naval
court martial was then organized for the
trial of Captain Fry and crew of the Vir
ginius. They were, of course, condemned
after a most expeditious trial, and on the
seventh the Captain, first mate, second
mate, and thirty-four seamen were shot.
On the eighth, twelve of the so-called ex
- peditionists were shot, and on the tenth
fifty seven more were put to death. Latest
reports from Santiago de Cuba are tbat
only eighteen of the entire ship's company,
consisting originally of 109, will be saved.
Some of these are engineers, and it is as
sumed that they were trot aware of the
nature oi the voyage, and the others are
boys. Only four, it is now stated, will es
cape without some form of punishmenand
the remainder of those not shot will be
condemned to the chain gang.
1 Careful Tornado.
The neatest achievement of a tornado
which passed over Sullivan County, Vt.,
some days ago was the removal of the house
of Mr. Betiway, of East Unity. The
bouse was a heavy one, forty by twenty
eight feet. It was instantaneously taken
from Its foundation and moved forty feet,
as if it had. slid on ice. Scarcely an under
pinning stone was displaced ; not a thing
was drqpped into the cellar, which was
deep and of the size of the whole bouse ;
nor was the grouad where it stopped but
little d isturbed. Mr. Benway was pumping
water in the back room, and bis wife was
in the front room ; both were carried along
only being aware that some terrible blow
bad fallen upon their dwelling, but having
no suspicion that it bad been moved, and
neither of them was hurt. Many of the
windows were dashed out ; every article of
crockery or glass was broken to pieces ;
clothe that were banging about, and other
things were scattered rods away. The
bock side of the bouse coming in contact
with the front door-step, and perhaps the
underpinning, the latter was handsomely
laid upon the gronnd inside down, and, al
though badly racked, the bouse stood,
while the shed, about thirty feet in length,
at the end, was entirely demolished.
t37 A case of considerable interest to
parents has just been decided in the Il
linois courts. A girl was expelled from
the public schools, with force, because ber
parents did not want ber to study book
keeping. Tho School Committee of the
town sustainod the teaolier, the parent ap
pealed to the courts, and the Circuit Court
La just decided for the plaintiff, ruling
that, while School Director may adopt
reasonable resolutions and oourse of study,
parent and guardian have the right, hon-
enstly and in good faith, to select the stud'
ie they dps) re their children or ward to
pursue,
