| Spain and Her Gunboats In Now York.
HERALD of the action the federal authorities
have resolved to take this forenoon against
Spain and her gunboats in our harbor will
be found of absorbing interest 1t appears
that the Spanish Minister at Washington has
at last made formal demand for their release,
which the President found it impossible under
the circumstances to comply with. The object
of the sudden visit of Judge Pierrepont to
the capital is now explained, and the seizure
Of the gunboats under libels filed by the gov
feature, and the one calculated to attract uni
versal attention in this country as we'll as in
Europe, is the fact that one Of the grounds of
the seizure preferred by the government is
that these vessels are to be used by ''foreign
State" (Spain) ''to cruise and commit hostilities
against the citizens and property" of a "colony
or people'-the colony or people OF Cuba
with which the United States are at peace.
This being urged by the legal representative of
the government, and under the direction of the
administration, is fifty called s'quasi recog-
milton" of the Cubans as belligerents, for in 1t
lies embodied the idea that, for the purposes
of our neutrality laws, Spain and the people OF
Cuba are two distinct communities, and that
neither must trample upon the rights of the
other while enjoying the hospitality Of the
United States. What will Spain do about it3
Has she sent the war steamer Pizarro, scarry-
ing six guns, to New York to back up her
Minister'S demand with an awe-inspiring
demonstration? Will she consider this pro-
ceeding on the part Of our government
cdsus 6eli and send the Numancia to
blockade our ports from Brazos Santiago to
the Aroostook-on paper? viii she buster
and blubber and kick up a dust cloud like q
maddened bull in the arena at Madrid? By
far the best thing for Spain would be, now that
her costly and much cherished gunboats have
at last 'got into chancery," to employ cute
lawyers, Of whom we have a plenty, fee them
well and let them Eight it out on this line" of
the laws proverbal delay, if it takes even all Of
next summer. BY the time the case will have
reached its final determination in the appellate
court the idle boats in the river may have
rotted their keels, and the Cuban unpleasant
ness" will probably have been settled in the
recognition by Spain of the independence Of
the island, without the slightest remonstrance
from the United States

Tho Founding Hospifnl.

This institution, which has just been estab-
lished by the Sisters Of Charity in Twelfth
street. commends itself strongly to the charity
Of the public. AT present it appears that while
their works Of mercy are great in saving and
taking care of the poor infant waits whom
inhuman or criminal parents have abandoned,
the means to carry out the charitable objects
Of the institution are very small indeed, and
are, in fact, confined to private contributions.
An institution Of this kind should be taken care
of by the State. IL will not do to leave II to
the chances Of individual charity. The police
reports show that since this Founding Hospital
was established the shocking crime Of infanti-
eide, which has disgraced the records Of our
city, has greatly decreased, and the Infamous
trade of that most abhorred Of all, our mock
medical professionals, has considerably dimn-
ishsd. We had an example Of this kind OF

The Late Rescue by ROugl,s.

The thieves Of the city are becoming more
daring Nearly every day we are called upon
to chronicle some new act of desperation.
They stop at nothing. The fact of one Of them
being arrested amounts to little when the
gangs with which these fellows are associated
will rescue their comrade from the hands Of
the police. Of late escapes and rescues have
become SO numerous that the subject requires
to be attentively looked into. Some days ago
notorious thief Of the Fourth ward was SEN
fenced by Judge Bedford to Blackwell's Island
Penitentiary for six months, but while on his
way to the island in the boat from the foot of
East Fifty-eighth street he was rescued by
party of roughs, fully armed, who came
alongside in small boat and took the prisoner
away. This is one of the most daring acts
which have come under our notice for many
day, and it is time the authorities should see
into the matter. The subject requires the
closest scrutiny. If the thieves, rowdies and
unframed, the passage of sentence on often
ders by our judges is mere mockery. The
criminals get off scot free, Notwithstanding
that the judges fully discharge the duty which
they owe to the people. The frequency Of
these escapes and rescues suggests the thought
that there is a screw loose somewhere and the
public should know where that screw is. The
necessity of vigilance has for so long time
been enjoined on the police, and without any
evidences Of Improvement, that the public is
almost disheartened. The time has come that
searching inquiry should be made in the
matter and that it should be ascertained where
the responsibility rests for the loose manner in
which this department Of tae public service is
conducted

The Brooklyn Mnntrap.

The entire evidence in the case Of the late
disaster on Furman street, Brooklyn, goes to
present some very urgent reasons why the
whole Of these mantraps on this street should
be pulled down, even at the sacrifice Of the
beautiful gardens attached to the fine mansions
On the Heights, which now form the roofs of the
doomed factories below, where nearly every
year for the past decade human holocaust has
been regularly offered up. These stores and
factories on Furman street lean against the
Heights, and furnish pleasant portion of the
real estate on the fashionable quarter of Column
bia street by supplying some elegant gardens,
which lie upon their roofs. But it happens
that no outlet is provided for the unfortunate
jewellers within these buildings, and, as in the
case of the Wallace family, they must either
leap from four story window or perish in the
flames when fire surrounds them from below
intensified, as it was in this instance, by the
presence Of numerous barrels of oil and nfla m
mable oil barrels. This condition of things is
horrible to contemplate. Disasters like this
are, unhappily, not matters of yesterday
Year after year similar calamities have
occurred in these buildings. Fremen, in the
discharge Of their duty, have been precipitated
into the burning ruins and died horrible
death. Workmen have been crushed amid
falling walls while rebuilding the structure.
There seems to be fate pursuing that whole
locality. The only remedy which suggests
itself is to pull the whole concern down and be
done with 1t, as all precaution in building and
roofing these stores appears to be of no avail
in obvating frightful catastrophes

business within two days in the case Of the
man Moran and the strong minded female doc
tor, Mrs. Lozier. Here conscience and a
decent respect for morality consigned tho
tempter and would-be criminal to the station
house. But how many strong minded female
doctors have we so conscientious as this ladyf
Not many we fear. Institutions like the
Founding Hospital should be objects of public
support. The Legislature ought to provide
something towards their maintenance. As in
struments Of good and sources of prevention
against crime they are entitled to legislative
recognition and support.

The Health Officer.

The name of DR.. Carnochan in connection
with the place of Health Officer of the Port has
been received with universal satisfaction. The
qualifications of DR.. Carnochan are, of course,
unexceptionable. His reputation as physi-
clan and surgeon stands higher than that of any
other man in the profession throughout the
country. His entire freedom from politics also
commends him as the fit man for the position,
because politics has nothing to do with the
position of Health Officer and never should
have. That it has been made a political Office
under the present regime is no reason why
that kind Of thing should continue. The public
health and tho interests of commerce have
both suffered for long time. Since the
present system was established, for instance,
the public health has been imperilled by the
negligence, or, we might more correctly say,
the avarice Of the management in permitting
crews and passengers from vessels held in
quarantine to approach the city upon the pay
ment of certain fees, and the interests of COM
merce have been hurt by obstructing in various
ways the business Of our merchants. These
facts were made matters Of consideration by
the Legislature Of last year, and they will no
doubt occupy the attention Of that body when
it assemblies in January next. The Governor
is undoubtedly aware Of the public desire that
a competent and Independent Health Officer
should be appointed, and he need not go be-
yond DR.. Carnochan to find the most acceptable
man for the place.

A STORMY AUTUMN, 'the oldest inhabi-
tant" says, may be followed by comparatively
mild winter. However this may be, we have
certainly since the middle of September had a
remarkably stormy autumn-the most destruc-
tive in its floods and winds throughout the
States, from Maine to Texas and from Connec-
ticut to California, Of any on record. We
think, too, that the elements having thus ex-
pended their wrath in September, October
and November, there is some reason for the
theory that the winter months will be com.

The Suex Canal is now completed. Those
who believed and hoped against hope are
jubilant. Those who, like Thomas, wanted
proof before they could believe have been COM
! PEELED to admit that they arc fully satisfied.
The canal has been traversed from end to end
with wonderful ease, and the Empress
Eugene, with bravery worthy of woman and
worthy of her high position, has resolved to
make the homeward course not with the help
OF the English railroad, bat by the canal and
in her own ship L'Aigle. All that the most
enthusiastic friends of the canal ever dreamed
of has been realized, and it promises to pro-
duce fruit. The canal unites two great, oceans
and in particular sense four great continents
The decentralization of the globe, SO long
deemed impossible, so long fruitful source of
enterprise, 80 long, too, an accomplished fact,
but so long so slow, is now reduced to weeks
in place of years. Formerly Turkish, Greek,
Austrian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
Dutch or British ship had to round the Cape of
Good Hope. We cannot say more in favor
Of the Suez Canal than this-that the
sea voyage from Gibraltar ia lessened
by six thousand miles. Some few days ago
we showed that the canal would be glory to
France, but benefit to Great Britain In the
HERALD Of yesterday we gave some facts
which amply justify that assertion. On Sat-
urday, the 9th of this month, the Great East
ern sailed from Portsmouth with q deep sea
cable on board; her companion ships contained
so much more; altogether there was of cable
some four thousand statute miles. The object
of the expedition is to complete the Malta and
Alexandria line, which already connects Lon
don with Suez and Alden, by continuing the
line from Alden to Bombay and Calcutta and
the other Indian centres. When this line is
completed according to the existing plan it
will not be possible, except through the neg
lect Of officials, for London not to know every
day what has happened in Calcutta, Bombay
and Madras. What London knows the world
will know. But London, rather than Paris,
will profit by the result. The work, however,
is not completed by this canal and by this
cable. We must have more cables. Particu-
larly we must have canal across the Isthmus
of Darien. Until this is done we must not
say our work is done.

CONGRESS. Members of both houses are
dropping into Washington in increasing num-
bers with every succeeding day. All the signs
Of the times indicate session of commanding
interest and great Importance, and the gather
ing of the most powerful lobby in numbers and
money ever known. 1t will be drawn together
on the tariff on whiskey, on internal revenue
changes generally, on railroad jobs, land
schemes, Indian jobs and all sorts of grand
schemes for spoils and plumber. We expect,
however, that wet blanket will be thrown
over all these grand schemes in the Presidents
message, and that the jobbers will be disap-
pointed in their harvest.

ALASKA is likely to prove profitable, If to no
one else at least to those who make a trade OF
smuggling. What is just now reported to have
happened in San Francisco indicates what is
possible. IL is said there that q cargo of
smugged whiskey came from Alaska by con
nivance Of officials; but where there is a line
of coast so extensive that it cannot be watched
and within easy reach of foreign territory the
connivance Of the officials is not necessary.

Interesting Movements In the italian Gov.
ernment.


From various accounts received from Flor
ence it really would appear that King Victor
Emanuel has anything but an easy time of it.
His people are generally disconnected; his
personal health has been bad, and now his
Ministry has resigned. Considering his habits,
it is not to be wondered at if he should wish to
abdicate The mere fact of the bureaus being
filed by members of the opposition proves that
new era is dawning in Italy as well as in
France. The people are awaking to a proper
sense of their position, and all potentates must
discover that revolution must sooner or
later take place as we progress in this age Of
enlightenment. One great step has been
gained lately, and especially in France, which
may serve as a guide to the Italians and that is,
to effect moral revolution, based on the public
will, without seeking redress by Offering armed
resistance to the authorities in power. The
causes of dissatisfaction between the govern
ment and the people are not so much on the part
of the King as on the part Of the officials, many
Of whom proved themselves too ready to act in
concert, to the prejudice Of the interests of the
country. Some recent cases, brought before
the High Court Of Florence, have exposed
some Of these workings and most probably
will give rise to radical changes.

which things are done by the Island authorities
and the activity Of the police In the city.
