THE FILIBUsrERs


NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 1862.
THE FILIBUsrERs
have made up their minds to annex Cuba to the
United States. The Office OF the United States
Marshal is bristling with horror and the bas-
tions of Fort Lafayette with guns. The Spanish
Consul has nothing to say in the matter. His
doors are open but his mouth is shut, so that
reporters get very little satisfaction.
Marshal Murray resembles him in both these
particulars. The position of a reporter or of
any newspaper man seeking news is no sinecure
just now. No people can bear being bluffed off
80 bandly as the gentlemen of the Press-"God
bless 'em, every one."
In consequence of the excitement the price OF
Spanish fies has risen. aud no such thing as
mud Havana is to be had.
In const quence of the peiilous nature of the
interviews which they are obliged to seek, IN the
interests of their respective ne wspapers, special
prayers are put up in st. Adams Chapel for the
reporters of sensation newspapers, commencing
with the World.
Three thousand men are to leave for Cuba in
fifteen days, or, If that is impossible, fifteen
thousand men are to leave in three days.
So great has been the run upon Colonel
Gibbons and General de Pallakoff that the
respective lAndades OF these gentlemen raisel
their terms Immediately, and sent in their bills
at twenty.tbree minutes after five this morning.
1t is thought that they will repudiate.
SUSAN THE SENSIBLE
took the chair on Wednesday evening, at No.
6S East Broad way, Botanic Hall.
The business of the hour was the permanent
organization of the Workingwomen's Associa-
tion.
The names of ESQ city workiDgwo were
enrolled.
ANY workingwomau NAV become a member
by signing the articles of the constitution, aud
contributing one ten cent postage currency per
month.
The objects are the establishment of a sister,
hood of working women, the institution of stated
meetings for social intercourse, the discussion
of humanitarian and progressive ideas, the
adoption of a CO operating and ameliorating
plan, the forming of a fund for the benefit
of members in sickness or misfortune, etc.
nice little word war was threatened between
the workingwomen and a number of Sorosisters
who were present.
Miss Anthony, the head and front of the
Working omep's Association, is the Great North
American Female suftagist. Nobody can beat
her in that line.
Now the Sorosisters are anything but Suffra-
gists. What they go in for is tea and toast AZ
Delmonicos, and if there is any quail" ON the
toast, why the resemblance to pigs foot, with
a chicken. wing served Oh to it, is SO much the
more approved.
Quite number of withering glances there
fore ensued between the Suiiragists and the
Sorosisters.
No one was struck With palsy, however. and
the result of the vote was that Susan was
oil tnd IN nffi of
enthusiastic admrer made motion, which was
not seconded, that $25 should be given her as
recognition of her services.
In fact, the Working women's Association is
Progressive and the Sorosis is Digressive. The
one may sometimes awaken suspicion of Blue
Stocking; the other aTakens a suspicion of open
worked silk stockings.
MADAME oLYMPE AUDoUARD
is genuine Countess, and on that account,
more than any other, is great success here.
She appeared for the first time in this city on
Wednesday night at the private theatre of the
Union League Club House.

order that she may be completely ineligible to
the expectancy and rose OF Fifth avenue and
Murray Hill.
Her dark eyes are full of two good things -
passion and intellect She rolls them together
inte one (osssIon and intellect-not her eyes,
when she looks at you.
Her subjects .were "Victor Hugo" and the
"First Napoleon" She eXtoled the one and
satirized the other, and was very warmly ap-
plauded.
