The Black WarriOr-IndicnatiO Meetin,


According 10 previous announcement, a meeting
took place last evening, al 600 Broadway, 10 take
into consideration the late seizure of the Black
Warrior by the Havana authorities The pro-
ceedings commenced by Farnsworth, New York
volunteers, nominating Colonel G.. b. Hall, chair
man, which was unanimously responded to. Col.
Hall, upon taking the chair, expressed his regret
that larger number Of persons We're not in atten-
tendance, as he had anticipated that upon so i'm
portant a question the meeting would have been
numerously attended Nevertheless, entertaining
individually strong feelings upon the matter be-
fore them he would cordially accept his nomina
tion. II would, however, be requisite TO post
pone the meeting, in order that another might
take place, more satisfactory in representation
thanthe present. Senior Toulon zone amongst many
Cubans present rose and explained what had
already transpired, and in the Spanish tongue.
Judge Morton then came forward, and said II
that meeting was TO express the feelings of Ameri-
cans against the act which had recently been per-
petrated by the Havana authorities he was ready TO
Join in IT, This not the first time that an Ameri-
can vessel had been seized, and because the gov
ernment had been forbearing the Havana authori-
ties had had the opportunity OF committing this
outrage upon the American flag. He thought the
officials at Havana had done more than they ever
did, and their arrogance, presumption, and pride
was Fastening the possession OF the island OF
Cuba into the hands of the United States. Cuba
was inviting TO the people of the United States,
and 10 which it should be annexed (Appause)
The people of Cuba complained justly OF the i'm
position indicted upon them by their government
and wished to throw off the yoke, while those
who lived under the protection Of the "stars and
stripes" enjoyed that blessing which the inhabi-
tants of Cuba kew nothing or little OF. But II
those people wanted liberty. he wonld say let
them have il. Lopez was unsuccessful but had
he been otherwise, how general would have been
the eulogistic praises showered upon him. Gap
plause) Cuba was rich and beautiful country,
nd in ~ rpooraphical DOsitiOn highly adj
vantageous. The messenger who had been sent
by the President was authorized TO say that out
RACES of the description perpe,rated by Cuba
must be aoned for by her, and not by the court of
Madrid. That was the reflex ofthe sentiments of
the people of the United States, and he had every
belief that the messenger sent would act upon
them. The endurance of previous outrages COM
mitted by Cuba upon the United States was ex-
tingushed by the Black Warrior outrage. He
trusted in conclusion, that the meeting TO be held
on Monday evening would be made worthy OF the
cause, and that large number Of parties would
be in attendance. During this gentleman's re-
marks, he was greeted with warm applause.
Senior Toulon then addressed the Cubans pre-
sent upon the subject in question, IN the Spanish
language, during which he was frequently chcered.
An adjournment then took place TO Monday even
ing al S O'Clock, at the same place.

TO level social barriers and bring the sons and

San Francisco celebration brings the theatre and
the church into an alliance that, TO our starched
notions, appears at least somewhat unusual. II
