Our recent advices from Havana tell us of
one deplorable riot and an attempt at another
In that city, and Of the active movement of
General Quesada's force Of insurgents and
Count valmaseda's column Of troops toward
the Western Department. where the revolu-
tionists seek to create new scene of opera
tions. Coincident with these advices we have
chronicled the arrival In New York of FIVE
young officers Of the insurgent army Of Cuba.
Publicly 1t is stated that they desire to create
sympathy and obtain aid among our people for
the patriot cause, but privately it is intimated
that they will make this base for new opera
tions in Cuba. They have come too late. The
evident signs from Cuba indicate the wane Of
the revolutionary effort While the Eastern
and Western Departments have been from the
beginning in open disagreement, we are now
informed that General Quesada's aspirations to
the chief command have caused new dissen-
sion in the vicinity of Principe, and that the
leaders there are not in accord with those who
have recently fed from Bayamo. The dissen-
sions do not mark path to victory. AS for
the riots In Havana they are merely the tenn
porary ebullitions of an cxcitable people under
the new order Of things, which confers upon
them greater freedom than they have hereto
fore enjoyed, and which, consequently, they
do not know how to use. The next important
event to be looked for from Cuba is the contest
between the forces Of General Quesada and
those Of Count valmaseda, both Of which at
last accounts were moving on villa Clara, the
insurgents by land and the troops by steamer
and rail-
States, our European kilograms indicate that
Spain thinks II worth while to retain the
''ever faithful isle" and by bleeding II for an
other decade, spur 1t to more successful
revolutionary effort In the future.

IcrpoAr RAoEs.-The aquatic fraternity of

IcRBoAT RAcEs.-The aquatic fraternity Of
Poughkeepsie and thereabouts have had some
rare sport In their iceboat races on the CLASSY
surface Of the frozen Hudson. Under a
spanking norwester these iceboats skim the
river like great gulls on the wing. Mr.. Bergh
would doubtless enjoy the sport for, unlike
sleighriding, IL involves no cruelty to animals.
These iceboats, too, are capable Of being ap-
piled much more extensively than they are to
the practical purposes Of winter transportation
on the Hudson and other Northern rivers--a
hint which we commend to the attention of
practical iceboat men.

thinks that the medallions Of General Grant
proposed to be gotten up at government ex-
pense for distribution among the Indians will
be melted up by them aud used for bullets
to kill white men, or, II might be added, sold
to suffers and sharpers for brass buttons or
other trinkets. The whole proposition is one
Of arrant aunkyism, disgraceful If not dis

A Burgjar and WeuId-Be Murderer Hish.
way Rsbbszs and . Bsardins Hsuse
Thief.
Last Saturday will be memorable in the
criminal calendar of New York for burglary
and an attempted murder on Bond street,
most daring robbery in the Park Bank, on
Broadway. an attempted highway robbery on
Fourth street and the arrest Of boarding
house thief ON East Fifteenth street. Full de-
tails of each case were given yesterday morn
ing In the HERALD.
The Bond street burglar was captured be-
tween four and five o'clock on Saturday morn
ing in Amity street, after swift flight and
desperate struggle, during which he tried to
kill one Of the officers in pursuit of him and
was himself shot through the hand. He was
committed, without bail, to answer at the
Court Of General Sessions upon the double
charge Of burglary In the house of DR.. Beach
and attempting to shoot officer Randall. The
bold robber of the Park Bank, smashing the
large plate glass window in front Of the money
department and grabbing" package Of
SO, 636 in national bank bills, ran out OF the
Ann street entrance Of the bank, and, after
vigorous chase, was arrested in Maiden lane,
about halfpast nine o'clock on Saturday morn
ing. On Saturday evening, at hslf-past six
o'clock, while Mrs. Lynch, keeper Of a diamond
jewelry store under the New York Hotel, on
Broadway, accompanied by her husband, was
going home through Fourth street, with bag
containing fifty thousand dollars worth of valu-
ables, they were waylaid by five Or six high
way robbers. Mr.. Lynch held stontly on to
the precious bag, and the screams Of bis wife
quickly brought to the spot officer Van Zant,
who secured and locked up one Of the gang.
On Saturday evening also suspected board
ing house thief was arrested in East Fifteenth
street, as he was leaving, he said, to visit
certain relatives In Canada. His projected
journey ended for the night at the station
house.
Surely this record of single day should
stimulate citizens to fresh precautions and the
police to renewed vigilance. In justice to the
police 1t must be added that if all the villains
in our midst, from murderers, burglars and
highway robbers to boarding house thieves,
shall be as promptly arrested as in the above
mentioned cases, the organization of vigilance
committee in New York may safely be post
poned for q while.

THE DANISH WEST INDIA ENTANaLEMRNT.- -
With the approach Of the Senate to the con-
sideration Of Mr.. Stewards treaty for the
annexation Of the lovely island of st.
Thomas, the sore disappointment Of the
Danish government at the prospect of no sale
is painful to contemplate We fear that the
confidence Of Mr.. Seward and his zeal in the
negotiations were too much relied upon by
the King Of the Danes. We fear that there
would be no chance for the ratification Of the
treaty were the price Of the island reduced
from two million five hundred thousand dol
lars to million, or even half million; be-
cause we have no money in the Treasury for
any more expensive luxuries Of this sort just
now because the Alaska purchase has been
developed as something OF lobby job, and
because the island Of st. Thomas Is too shaky
for navy yard, coalng station or anything
else, at any price. For these and other
reasons we join our lamentations with the
Danish King over the failure Of bis treaty with
Mr.. Seward, and would recommend him to try
his luck with his rich son-in- law, the Prince Of
Wales. He has money and may want little
more land.

wha. Shall We Do with the Onals


In many of her sanitary arrangements New
York is behind other large American cities,
while from her favorable location, with her two
broad rivers and her splendid bay, as well as
from her superior wealth and commercial i'm
portance, she ought to be ahead of them all.
What to do with the ofal Of populous city is
always question Of Importance with sanitary
officers, and 1t is probably owing to the appa-
rent convenience of the two rivers on our
eastern and western sides as receptacle for
all manner Of refuse that we have hitherto
done nothing with our offal except to dump 1t
into the water and suffer 1t to dispose Of itself
as it best can. This might have been all very
well If the tides would carry all they
their load. But there are incoming as
well as outgoing tides, and tho latter are in the
habit Of returning the foul mass confided to
their keeping back to the city, and as conse-
quence our slips and docks are foul with rot
ting carcasses Of horses, dogs and cattle and
with all manner Of disgusting deposits. At
low water so offensive is the stencil along the
river fronts from this cause that 1t is only sur
prising that the neighborhood of the docks is
not in yet greater degree the hotbed of fever
and disease. It is no unusual thing for pleasure
yacht or an excursion steamer on the point of
starting on summer trip to find the puttid
body of some animal come humping against her
sides, while the thousands of passengers who
daily throng our ferryboats can bear witness to
the fact that at low water they are driven from
the decks by the horrible efluvia stirred up by
the revolving wheels as the boat enters the
slip at low water.
The Boston people have regular receptacle
for the. city offal, where proper chemical appll-
ances destroy all foul smells and where the
refuse Is utilized and made to return q good
profit. We should have the same In New
York, instead Of dumping dead animals and
all manner Of refuse into the rivers, to breed
disease and become filthy nuisance to the
city. If the city authorities have not the
power or disposition to move In the matter the
Albany people should direct their attention to
the subject and give us law for regular
offal department in New York. 1t is reform
imperatively demanded and one that should be
secured before the heated term Of next summer.
Which of our representatives will be the first
to volunteer in this needful and popular move
ment?
