ments. The libelling affidavit is
made BY Senior Allaro, of the Cuban,
Junta, who charges that the gunboats
are intended to make war not only
upon an established government in
Cuba, but also IN Peru The gunboats

navy, and will probably be taken pos
session of by the Marshal to-day. 1t
is stated that the Cuban Junta place
great reliance on the action Of Con-
gress, now about to assemble, and is
highly encouraged by the numerous
petitions which are being signed by
che Americas people, praying for the
recognition of Cuba by che United
States, in addition to the memorials
which are being signed by thousands

and other cities throughout the coun-
try. A monster petition has just been

be signed only by ladies. -Four thou.
sand signatures have been obtained In

The Junta state If they can do no
more than secure the detention of
gunboats till Congress meets, they
will be content, as they feel assured
that among the first acts of Congress.
will be formal recognition of Cuba.

Havana, state than five Spanish war
vessels are about to proceed from the
Cuban waters to New York.

participated IN these frauds, which ex
tended through several months during

WE publish in our Supreme Court
report this morning. a very important
opinion pronounced By J udee Ray,
yesterday morning, In which it is held
that the currency of the National
Banks is taxable, and must be listed
with other articles. This decision is
u reversal of one made by Judge Bis
tine, former Auditor Of State under
Democratic ADMINISTRATION, and we
suppose the new departure which
the decision made by this Democratic
Judge. indicates, is to proclaim Ma.
tional Bank notes free from taxation.
IL viii follow, of course, that our
Supreme Court must be condemned
BY the Democracy for reversing this
decision, and requiring that the Cir

share the burdens imposed on other
