SIR: I have the honor to forward herewith a copy of a note this day passed to the minister of state, in which, in obedience to your instruction of the 12th inst. by cable, I have protested against the summary execution of the captain and thirty-six of the crew of the Virginius and sixteen others, by order of the Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba.
