THE QUESTION OF C BAN RECOGNITION
AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

FTONt tHe NJ 7, Herald
According to the Washington corresuon-
dents, Mr.. Secretary Fish has been ventilating
llt'le the question OF recognizing the bellige-
out, 1t seems, by the report that the British
Government contemplated such recognition as
good stroke OF policy for the purpose OF
establishing British influence and promoting
commeree with Cuba and, in a measure. TO
head of the United States there. Mr.. Fish
has no information to confirm such report.
and thinks such action on the part Of England

POLICE couRr.-Fhe gathering of ga

POLICE CoURT.@The gathering of ga
loots, bummers, plain drunks and the like
before the Mayor yesterday. was very good,
not to say respectable. -
Ohma Morris, John Quirk, Daniel Mytch-
ell and Albert Martin were enjoying the
pleasures of plain drunk. They paid 81
aud costs each.
James Bouton was caught making sleeps
eyes and love to the fair, lovely and an
gelic Amanda Turpin. James, as short
road to his dearie's affections, commenced
supplying himself and her with good,
square-toed, calamity water. Failing to
pay So and costs, he hammereth.
AS weremarked the other day, so certain
as the month slips by. so certain is it that
either Amanda Turpin, Elizabeth Garner,
or Mary Blizzard take up their line of
march for Castle Gaver. Bright as the sun,
beautiful as the moon, and lovely as night
set with stars, rose Sister Amanda Turpin
when the Mayor called her name yester-
day morning. We have so many times
described the Sister, that our readers know
her as well as if photographed by Elliott.
For being drunk che was provided with
residence in Castle Gaver for thirty DAYS.
Hardly had the shadow caused by the.
removal OF SO much brightness fallen on
the Mayors office before it was lifted again
by the appearance of the regal and ma
iestic form of the greatest of the great trio
of female galoots, Elizabeth Garner. The
queenly sister Garner had but few dav.
since quilted the castle, where she passes
most of her time, and by quaffing deep the
ruby" with her retainers, was seized
by the naughty minions of her foes, and
ruthlessly taken in triumph, captive, be-
fore the Mayor. To save her from further
trouble she was sent to Castle Gaver for
thirty days. 80 .issl.i .1I4ssasi

The New WARDs.-The talk in regard
to the formation of two new Wards, one at
the South and the other at the North end
of this city, still continues. Go to work
sndsdraw your lines, friends, at once. We
have had talk enough about it. The people
want the wards. Draw up your petitions
and present them to the Council and have
them formed at once. The time is getting
short, and the matter must be fixed in time
for the spring election. The Democratic
party of the city demand that the wishes
OF the people should be attended 10, and
we would like to see who dare oppose the
we'll expressed wish of the party in this
city. Give us the new Wards, and at once.
Givethe Republicans the majority we have
in the city, and they would SO change and
twist ward boundaries, that it would be
hard for us to get a Councilman even in
the Sixth ward. Let us feed them with
their own porridge. s

F LARCENY AT THE HIGH SCHooL.-On
Friday of last week circular cloak be-
longing to the daughter of Colonel Geary,
pupil at the High school, was stolen from
that building. The cloak was nearly new,
of a dark grey water-p roof cloth, hood
lined with silk, and could not possibly have
been mistaken for the small, well worn
garment left in its place, and which is now
in the school. This matter should be in
quired into for the credit of the institution.
We have heard it stated that the party who
took the cloak is known, and that its
prompt return may prevent an exposure,

the rebels offered q more determined

and acknowledges that the Spaniards
lost colonel, and captain, and six

claims that the rebel loss was heavy,
but does not give the numbers. The
insurgents have burned the village of
