Anxiety for Recognition by the United
States-Thc Peruvian Monitors Not TO be
Used i'm the Cuban Interest.
The State Department has no Official information
concerning the recognition OF the Cubans as belig
erents by the Peruvian government Conceding that
it is So however. the authorities here do not attach
much importance to 1t beyond the mere fact that IL
VIII serve, to a certain extent, to encourage the
Cubans in their resistance to Spain. 1t is not
thought that Peru is in condition to render the
Cubans any material assistance, even If she dis
posed IL is probable that some OF the other
South American States may follow the example of
Peru. What the Cubans are especially anxious for
Is the recognition OF their rights OF
belligerents by the South American States bor-
dering ON the Caribbean Sea. This would give
them naval rendezvous adjacent to their own island
and enable them to issue letters of marque and t out
naval expeditions. The best informed parties in
Official circles do not believe that the Cubans seek
annexation with any OF the South American repub
lies II the latter give them material aid, and the
Cubans should be successful, they will probably
establish an independent government. The Cuban
leaders want the protection OF strong government
and are not anxious for annexation, except to the
United States With regard to the monitors pur
chased from US by the Peruvian government, it Is
not thought they can be made available by Feru
to aid the Cubans. When they were pur
chased from our government the Peruvian
Minister here was required to give bonds
that they should not be used against any
Power with which we were at peace, prior TO their
arrival at Peru. The Spanish Minister was sus
picious, owing TO the unfriendly relations between
Peru and Spain, that they were intended to aid the
Cubans He called the attention OF Secretary Fish
to the fact that they were slow In reaching Peru,
and, at the same time expressed his fears that they
were to be used against Spain and IN the interest OF
the Cubans. The Secretary OF State pointed to the
fact that Peru had given bonds that they would not
be SO used, and expressed the opinion that the fears
Of the Spanish Minister were unfounded. Subse-
quently Mr. Fish called the attention Of the Peruvian
Minister, MIR. Garcia, to the slow progress made
by the monitors in reaching Peru Mr.. Garcia
explained that 1t would be necessary for the
monitors to pass through the Straits OF Magellan in
winter because at other seasons Of the year the
weather is extremely unfavoraple and there would
be danger OF the monitors being lost. On this &C
count they would remain during the summer In the
vicinity Of the West Indies AT last accounts they
were at ST. Thomas, but intended proceeding TO Bar
bados. This was communicated to the Spanish
Minister, and to a certain extent seemed to quiet his
suspicious. He is still suspicious, however that
they will turn up well armed and equipped, IN
Cuban waters. and the late action OF the Peruvian
Continued Unpleasantnesses Among the Coll
ored Radicals.
Another Of those unpleasantnesses which have so
frequently disturbed the capital since the radical
element became imbued with Its colored auxiliary
occurred here this evening. The workingmen OF
the First ward, in sympathy with the citizens
organization had assembled In Green's Hall, on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets, and were proceeding with the
business OF nominating ward officers, when O crowd
OF radicals mostly colored rushed into the hall and
commenced such violent demonstrations that force
OF policemen came to the rescue and finally cleared
the nall ana closed It. The workingmen then re-
paired to slowen's drug store corner OF Pennsyl
vana avenue and Twentieth street. TO complete
their nominations, when crowd OF negroes rushed
to the place and in a few minutes demolished the
windows with stones. A shot was fired from Within
but no one was seriously hurt. The police again
came to the rescue and put stop TO this spirited
pastme, and remained in attendance while the busi
ness OF nominating candidates proceeded, the ne
groes in the meantime crowding the street and side
walk. The contest between the citizens aud radi-
Gals is daily becoming more spirited, and If there
should occur another discussion OF the character
here narrated 1t will not be surprising.
The Negro Equality Ordinance.
The ordinance compelling all licensed places OF
OF color to every part OF such place OF public enter
tanment has passed both branches Of the City Coun-
Gil and will, undoubtedly, be signed by our progress
sivc republican Mayor. The pure and immaculate
Sayles J. Bowen on being asked to-day whether he
intended to give his autograph to the pro-African
bill he smartly responded, "We, sir, see no reason
why should not do So" white man Is, evidently,
as good as O Niger In Mr.. Bowen's estimation.
Spaldirg a Rapey, who own the National theatre
here, intend 10 resist the enforcement OF the
ure and will contest 1t, step by step through all the
winding avenues Of judicial circumlocution. IL Is
the opinion OF some of the ablest lawyers IN the Dis
trct that there warrant in the constitution for
the passage OF such an act.
