That the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents by the United States will
soon be recognized, there is scarcely
any reason to doubt. Such recognition
will necessarily irritate Spain and may
lead to serious complications If not to
war itself. If such we're to be the case 1t
would be chiefly war upon the ocean,
though expeditions to Cuba would be
undertaken, but their success would
very largely depend upon the naval
strength of the two countries. In view

The difficulties into which the steam
or John Sylvester has fallen reached an
acute stage yesterday. The boat has
been in charge of the United States
marshal since Friday and yesterday an
apprehension arose that the crew might
take possession of her in spite of Depu-
ty Marshal Cusick and carry her per-
manently beyond thejurisdictiou OF this
court, so several of her crew were
sworn in as deputy warshals.
Mrs. Hopkins, of Anacostia, who
made an attempt to end her life Sun
day afternoon, by leaping from the
Aqueduct bridge, again caused some

at the bridge, looked very much that
way. Shortly after 2 o'clock she put
10 an appearance at the Georgetown en-
trance to the bridge and was accom-
panied by her son, John. Both had
been drinking, and as soon as they came
in sight they attracted the attention of
those in the immediate neighborhood,
and q policeman was sailed. They
were driven off by police officer.
