She eleven knots under steam and ‘pan easily make fourteen under steam and sail. Paring the months of April and May of this year he ran the Spanish blockade four different times uccessfully, and on the evening of the 17th ef May, ‘while attempting to land part of the cargo which she now carries, she was pursued and attacked at bout ten miles from Santiago de Cuba by the Spanish gunboats Mosquito, Celaje and Clara; but, owing to her superior speed, she got clear of them gnd arrived shortly after at this port, where, ‘through some imperfectness in her papers, she had been detained by our Consul until recently. Owing ko the darkness of the night in question, and ‘through some unaccountable blunder on the part ‘pf the commander of the Clara, the Celaje was fred Into and sunk with all on board, while the Mos- ito was so badly damaged that she had to be ywed by the Clara into Santiago. ATTLE BULLETINS AND HOW THEY ARE MADE IN SPANISH. “phis,” General Aguero says, “is one of a thou- yand incidents occurring frequently in and about whe island, of which nothing is known outside of t, as it is impossible to communicate them as they eally occur, and outsiders have to rely (untortu-, tely for us) on reports of strictly Spanish source, being first shaped and moulded to suit their own ponvenience. For instance, when 8 skirmish Jakes place between the two contending parties, ‘and the Spaniards, treble in number, succeed in Alslodging a few Cubans out of their position ® glowing account of a great victory is ven forth to the world in the Spanish rgans; but when @ battle of some consequence place where there are probably four of theirs have to contend with can reach them, which, Iam sorry to say, cannot be done fast enough.” “AS to the Spanish soldiers,” said another intel- ligent and apparently well educated member of the expedition, “let us but once take possession of Santiago de Cuba and be able to hold it, and there will not be one left in their ranks. They are all with us at heart,” he continued, “though com- pelled to fight against us, because they cannot help itat present.’ “Spain,’ said he, “is spending on this war at the rate of nearly half a miilion daily, and how long do you think she will be able to stand it? In not recognizing our belligerency the United States are» doing as much harm to her as they are to us, Were they to grant us this, our right, Cuba would become an independent nation inside of twelve months; but ‘no matter, greater will be our glory when we can proudly proclaim to the world our freedom, gained by hard fighting and through our own exertions.” Struck with the appearance of a tall, raw-boned, powerful looking Irishman, who had kept himself aloof from the reat, puffing away at his pipe, I in- quired of him if he also was a volunteer, “Youn. teer!” said he with great emphasis, “you don’t presume to think. that I look like a man who could be pressed into this kind of service, do you? Indeed, sir, Iam and have: been a vol- unteer since the war commenced. I made up my mind that if I could not fr2e poor old Ireland 1 would dd my best to free Guba from Spanish op- pression. I have always served under General Aguero—as fine a gentleman as ever lived, a sol- dier every inch of him; and,I tell you, a truer patriot cannot be found.’ BRILLIANT HOPES, General Aguero hopes to reach his destination at an early day. Should he be as successful in this as he has been heretofore we may expect to hearsoon of another splendid victory over the Spaniards. He car! ith him the sincere and heartfelt sym- | ‘pathy of every true republican. FRAWN OH.

On the Ist jof September, 1870, General Aguero, accompanied by seven of his faithful followers, crossed over from abana la Mar to the coast of Florida in a canoe #wenty-one feet long, having accomplished this jaring feat in four days to within a few miles of the coast, where he was picked up by @ ‘passing schooner. His second dug-out trip pas made from the coast of Cuba to Port §Maria, in Jamaica; on both occasions on special mission from President Cespedes, ‘ho, 1am assured, has the utmost confidence in 1s patriotism, indomitable courage and determi- ation, apart from the fact that their family con- Snection makes them rely on each other for mutual upport. nea Aguero, I understand, is married to a ‘sister of President Cespedes’ wife, INTERVIEWS WITH THE RECRUITS. 4 Ihave been on board of the Edgar Stuart, and, through the courtesy of the commander, was al- lowed to converse freely with the men, eighteen of frbom arrived in the Henry Chauncey from New ‘York, and I was quite surprised to learn Mhat all had received advances before leav- fing, but not one had attempted to escape. “We are ali volunteers,” said a little fellow who ‘appears to hate the Spaniards in the same propor- ftion that he loves his native land, “and are all e@nxious to arrive at our destination.

Two Police Justices on Trial—Extraor- ainary Scenes in Court=The Work ot the Famous Grand Jury Rendered Null and Void. ri Police Justices Seymour and Keese were placed on trial in the Court of Quarter Sessions, Jersey City, yesterday, on the charge of appropriating the public moneys in not sending im to the city treasurer the amount collected by them in fines within the time prescribed by law. The prisoners pleaded non ult conten- dere, Judge Randolph, who presided, informed the accused that the Court regarded them as mor- ally guiltless of any offence, although techicaliy guilty, and therefore sentence would be sus- pended. It is necessary to remark here that within four day$ after the indictment was found by the Grand Jury against Justice Seymour he turned over to the City Treasurer the sum o! $1,300 as restitution. District Attorney Garretson, who was almost overwhelmed with astonishment at the issue of the indictment, immediately put Justice Seymour on trial on another indictment, charging him with im- posing a fine on a man without swearing any wit- ness. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, anda jury was empanelled, The District Attorney produced several witnesses who testified that no person was sworn im the case, Officers were produced for the defence to prove that persons were sworn. The District Attorney urged upon the jury that the charge was clearly established, but the Court in charging the jury informed them that the evidence for the State was merely negative, and the prisoner was accordingly acquitted. ‘This announcement created an_ excitement throughout the entire city last evening, and a& meeting of the Citizens’ League ts to be called requesting the District Attorney not to move any more of those cases during the present term of Court.

THE VAN NESS CASE. Why the Previously Acquitted Lady Has Again to Answer. An Apology to Legal-Medico Sci-, ence Necessary. ¥ THE COURT AT ANNAPOLIS. Motions to Quash the Indictment Overruled. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 7, 1873, Although the trial of Mrs. K. G. Wharton for the attempt to murder by poison Eugene Van Ness, her confidential business agent, was set tor yester- day, it was really not begun until to-day. The Court of course met, but there were none of the surroundings of a great criminal trial manifest, as it was well understood that little or nothing was to be done, and such proyed fo be the case, A mo- tion waa only made to quash the indictment, but that was not argued, and the Court adjourned until this morning because there wag not a full bench. There was this morning a far different state of affairs, The little old court room was teeming with life and animation and we were in the very midst of a counterpart of those scenes which were being enacted here just one year ago, which attracted the earnest attention of the whole country. Here were the same three staid and dignified judges—Miller, Hammond and Hay- den—pecping out upon the scene before them over the high eal in front of _fholt_geats, Here were the same abundance of law books, piled high upon the trial table, and gathering close about it were the same learaéd Counsel that sat there one year ago, and behind them the same sorrow-stricken woman that was then on trial for her life, and by her side ner devoted daugh- ter, Nellie, who sat with her then, also heavily clad in the garb-of deepest mourning. By their sides were the same steadfast friends, Mra, nd Miss Neilson, and just beyond them Drs. Williams and Chew and the other medical witnesses who had brought upon this unhappy mother and daughter all of the terrible trouble that had crushed their hearts and wasted their slender fortune, so that the charity of kind relatives had to provide for their wants. Beyond and outside the bar was the same hungry crowd, all as vindictive as ever against this poor woman. Here also were the same witnesses that came to testly in relation to Mrs. Wharton’s acts during the sickness of Geweral Ketchum, nearly all of them relatives of Mr- Van Ness, and beside them sat that individual, the principal witness for the prosecution in this case, and whom it is alleged Mrs. Wharton en- deavored to poison. THE ALLEGED INTENDED VICTIM. He isa young man of neat appearance, rather above the medium ieight, but of slight build. He parts his hair inthe middle and wears a heavy blonde mustache. He is dressed in good taste to-day, wearing an entire suit of dark clothes. He is aclerk at_a limited salary in the banking house of Alexander Brown & Co., an aristocratic bank- ing institution at Baltimore. Be is reported to have been, when this charge was made against Mrs. Wharton, indignant at the suggestion that she had attempted to pofson him, and declared himself her friend, but it is understood that he had been drawn {nto the vortex of public opinion in Baltimore, and is disposed to do his best to convict her whom ke has declared to be his friend. It will bea matter of surprise, ne doubt, to the readers of the HERALD who watched the first case against this lady that we are in the midst of this second trial. It was generally anderstood that when Mrs. Wharton was acquitted of the murder of General Ketchum that there never would be a trial of this case; but irom the day that that trial closed the parties defeated have endeavored to keep alive the ANIMOSITY AGAINST THIS UNFORTUNATE LADY. The Medical College, the ignorance or carcless- ness of whose proivssors and licentiates was so vividly shown not only upon that but upon the Schoeppe trial, rung with the denunciations of the lady, and Dr. Williams, who was the principal witness for the prosecution in the Ketchum case, made it the subject of public lectures and articles rinted in the newspapers and medical journals. it is even stated, upon what authority I cannot say, that those Maryland medical universities urged the further prosecution of this lady with appa- rently great earnestness, and tended by its acts tended greatly to bring about this second perse- eution upon Which we are just entering, It may therefore be said, in view of this and other facts which will be brought out as the trial progresses, that this case would better be known as the Medi- cal College case above named and its professors against Mrs, Wharton, prosecuted in the name of the State.

Mr. J. H. Themas, Mr. A. B. Hagner and rr, Harmon Stump, counsel for the prisoner, then came in, took their seats and began preparation for their opening. They were soon followed by Attorney General Syester and Mr. Revell, State Attorney for this county, who were to conduct the prosecution, Mr. Syester was just up from the trial of Mr. Platter for the murder of his wife by ison on the Eastern Shore, which accounted for i8 non-appearance yesterday.

Two Swedes named Lars Larson, @ young man, twenty-five years old, and Charles Isaacson, a boy fifteen years old, were quietly passing the locality mentioned, when the latter was seized by a num- ber of roughs assembled on the corner and wantonly buffeted about and thrown off the side- walk. Larson went to his companion’s assistance and caught one of his tormontors, when the villain drew » knife and stabbed Larson to the heart. Larson expired in a few minutes. The locality where the murder was committed is one of the worst in the city, and so far the officers are unable to get any certain clue to the assassin, who ts Probably hidden by the villains who iniest the neighborhood. FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7, 1873, This evening a fire broke out in James Cooper's seat, not more than six fect in front of me, when on trial for her life. Her step seems lighter and she doeg not sit with the lisel listnessness that she did then, but is more active and attentive to what joes on about her. Her friends say she 1s in much etter health than then, and that the association of friends among the scenes of her youth at Norris- town, Pa., during the jt Summer has done heg much good, pie PES Yee > iii MISS NELLIE, the devoted daughter, aiso seems much improved. Her dress and manners are more in keeping with her youth, and the same look of utter desolation that had settled down upon her face so severely seemed to have been partialy lifted, although there Were still traces left of the fearful sorrow tl jad come upon her so heavily, and she showed the same evidence of painful emotion that characterized her last year When the counsel for the prosecution spoke harshly of her mother. There were several prominent lawyers and naval officera present within the bar this morning, and juite @ number of ladies, whose rich attire denoted that y Were from the ranks of Maryland’s best society, were among the ence. Mr. Steele, who was senior counsel for Mrs. Wharton in her triai for the murder of General Ketchum, will not appear in this cause. MOTION TO QUASH THE INDICTMENT. After the usual preliminaries, Chief Justice Miller directed the counsel to proceed with the case, and Mr. Hagner upon the following motion proceeded to address the Court :— State of Maryland vs. Wharton, indicted for attempt ing to. poi 4c.—Elien ©. Wharton, who is indicted in this case by the name’ of Eliza. beth G.

Mr. Revel, for the prosecution, took up the ar- gument on that side and spoke for about forty Minutes. He contended against the motion, to quash with @ great deal of earnestness, and spoke more bitterly of the accused than on the first trial, and seemed to enter into the case with a deter- ee a earnestness that were not manifest Attorney General SyesreR followed Mr. Revel, but seemed to have little interest’ in the case. He spoke but a few moments, and, in what he said, gus little evidence of the powerful ability he is ‘nown to possess in argument, and impressed upon my mind the conclusion that the rumor was true that reported him as decidedly against the trial of this Second case. Mr. Thomas, the senio Counsel for the defence, closed the argument a Sralt-past two in a poweriul appeal for the mot! made, and the Court then took the matter bkucr advisement. i THE COURT PROIDE AGAINST THR MOTION. After & moment's Consultation Chiet Justice Mille Said that this question had often been raised an ¥ often decided, and the opinion of the Court was, hat While the several counts of the indictment Pe ee Several offences, and they were separate Del 1708 they all tended to one eT ose. Ifat soem er stage of the case a question should arise - rosecution electing upon which count they . vine go to trial, that would be anotner question ; ut on the motion to quash the Court would hol that the position of the defence was not well taken, and the case should proceed as the indictment stood. The opinion was elaborate and able, review- img ail the different authorities.

The opinions as to the result of the trial are various, but the general conclusion seems to be that a very weak case will be developed by the prosecution.

The Latest Novelty In Trade Combinations. a Celestial Mongolians on Their Dignity. PITTSBURG CUTLERS IN A FIX. Joss Wants More “Payee” or No “Workee,” ’ Prrrseure, Pa., Jan. 7, 1873. About seventy of the newly imported Chinamor employed at the Beaver Falls Cutlery Works are at the present moment on strike for higher wages. It is amusing to reflect that these heathen have been but three months in learning the trick of combining to get the real worth of their labor. There was great indignation mant- fested in working circles some six months ago over the transportation of coolies by this manu- facturing firm, which employs several hundred hands. On June 9 of last year seventy-five China- men reached Beaver Falis and at once took the places ot that number of white men. The press an@ the public were unanimous in their condempation ef the movement, but the opposition accom- plished nought, for the managers of the concerm were determined to introduce such labor and the re- sult was THE COOLIES went quietly to work, and, their white brothere tn due course of time securing other employment, the difficulty was soon forgotten. The ‘services of this gang of Orientals was secured for a considera- tion of seventy-five cents per day in gold, each. They were industrious and performed the work allotted to them in a most skilful manner, and the company were so thoroughly satisfied with the result that they resolved to import another batch. The second instalment of cheap labor, sixty-nine in number, arrived on the 1st day of December, 1872, and thego, though not less clever workmem than the former, werd paid but sixty cents per day in gold, This last invoice of %. ALMOND-EYED GENTLEMEN soon learned that there was a diiference in wage@ Bald to respective gangs, and, considering that one Joss worshipper was as good 88 another, a delega- tion called upon the superintendent and requested that he would give them a lift in thelr wages. The superintendent informed them that he would lay the matter before the proper parties, and, with the assurance that the increase they asked for would be granted, they returned and resumed their work, abiding their time. The matter subsequently was brought to the attention of the Board of Managers, and after some deliberation it was re- fused, It was feared that if the company would knuckle in this instance, John Chinaman might put on airs and covet a further increase of wages The celestials were notified that their demand could not be complied with, and thereupon they congregated, big, little, young and old, and RESOLVED TO KNOCK OFF until, like their American brother, they would get something like a fair day’s wages for a fair day’ work, They wander now about the neighborhood of the works with their hands in their loose trou- ser’s pockets, turning @ deaf ear to the arguments of their happy, higher priced countrymen, ang equally indifferent to threats or expostulations, They want more “payee’’ and won’t returo te work again until the company signify their wilt- ingness to comply with their demands. It is am amusing strike, but an instructive one. Having lost the white skilled laborers, the company aré now at the MERCY OF THE MONGOLIANS, who, it is but fair to presume, will not be slow te discover and improve the situation, The strike te @ lesson which workingmen will not neglect to learn, for it strikingly illustrates the absurdity of their fears that they are to be ruined by an im- undation of Chinese cheap labor. This labor, lke any other labor, will, te some extent at least, find- its level and demand its comparative worth. It ie also an evidence that the Chinaman ts fast dis covering that his work is almost as valuable ae that of the white man, and in consequence he ie entitled to demand nearly as much for it. THE LESSON will not be lost on iron mill owners here, who ha@ in contemplation the importation of cheap labor from Asia, and who must be satisfied to work with the labor material they already have. It is reported this evening that the managers of the Beaver Fale! Works will accede to the ultimatum of the Chimay men, though it will go against their grain with @ vengeance. That portion of the works, however, in which the Celestials were employed is standing idle, and as the company have no disposition that such @ state of affairs should centinue for any length of time they will abide by the consequences of acceding te the demands of their imported eu» ployés. , 4 MAILS FOR EUROPE.
