CUBA. A Spanish Threat to the United Statcs— The Volunteers of Havana Propose Ap- plying the Incendiary Torch—Piratical Craft in Course of Construction. A large number of the following notices were received in this city on Saturday, by the principal merchants in the Cuban trade, by the Havana ge see! we which great a — distric! led; and pe a of eR ser Se fie] oon anes ican the tan sanitary distric have learned that Spain is a republic, and that all the members of the Cabinet are pledged .to the Annexed is the notice referred to above :— To THE SPANISH NATION :— The Spaniards of Cuba—proud sons of that Spain who was former mistress of the world, and never allowed any loreign intervention—are sorrowlully impressed with the sad spectacle of the interter- ence of England and the United States in matters pertaining to Cuba, and see in the diplomatic docu- ments lately published the prospective ruin of the Velarde. The prejudiced reforms in question are to apply to Porto Rico, but are doubtless premedi. tated to extend to Cuba. We protest with all our ene against this de- grading and anti-national policy, and we unite ourselves to the National League and national manifesto published by the Ultramine Ciub, of Madrid; and we swear to act as the inhabitants of Numantino and Saguntino did before we will stoop to the ineffable shame of being dominated and influenced by toreign Powers. We are Spaniards always, and we desire that Spain shall reign over Cuba and Porto Rico in our generation, in our children’s time, and of our children’s children, Incendiary torches are being prepared and corsair craft are being prepared to prey upon the commerce of any ioreign nation who shall attempt to impose their will upon us in case that our government does not,remember its duty of being Spanish before aught else. Let all be on the watci and brave, and let our | Motto be the honor of Spain, never humiliated or | subject—or death. Long live Spain, without traitors or cowards! Daoiz and Velarde were two Spanish patriots who were kilied at Madrid, May 2, 1808, deiend- ing the city against the French. They perished at the artillery barracks, Saguntino and Numan- tino, Sagunte, the f@iodern Murviedo, is where Hannibal was defeated by the Iberians, and the inhabitants swore, as did those of Numantino, to Editor of El Cronista.

It is hardly possible to form a fair estimate of the amount of suffering which the intense cold and the cessation of many industries have produced during the Winter in New York. At no time since that when hunger and death sealed the season of financial disaster in 1867 has so much misery been distilled in the cup of bitterness which the poor are always compelled to drink, From causes painful even in their simple enumeration thousands of artisan’s families have fallen from one step of Gestitation to another, till it seems as though the great arm of some popular impulse of charity must be extended to save them from the last resource of the Potter's Fieid, In the Fitth and Eighth wards such a charity has, ever since the first chills of Winter, been battling for these unfortunate ones, but though its sphere of action has been so circumscribed 1t has already in ita exertions to ameUorate the severity of the suffering which has sprung to light on every hand, exhausted its resources, ‘The scenes of horror which have been witnessed by the members of this association are almost beyond description. Some of them would draw tears from stone. In In Thompson street a young woman was turned ont of doors, her furniture thrown into the street (non-payment of rent was the cause), she was found with her baby dying at her breast, where she fathered it, not for nourish- ment, but to’keep its little: limbs and heart warm by the contact. In Walker street a girl of thirteen, whore mother was dead, was found sick with fever in a cellar that was flooded from the sewers each time the tide set up the river, Allof these cases received prompt aid from that noble charity of which we have spoken—St. John’s Guild. The lit- tle girl last mentioned was constantly attended by aphy ian, but died in a few days. One more case of singular destitution has come to the knowledge ofthe HERALD, It was that of a lady, whose son was the partner of a famous New York banker and ex-United States official. The indy had formerly lived in affiuence in ‘wenty- third ‘street, near Fifth avenue, in, a house built for her, but reverses came, and allher fortune was swept away. She never appealed for aid, but was found by the visitors of the Guild, who at once recognized her as a lady who had been well known for her many charities. She was found emaciated and feeble in an attic in Chariton street. This was some time ago, She was removed to a reom up town, where old friends came in carriges tosee her, and never knew how destitute she had been or that she was relieved by ae apsring workers of the Fifth and Eighth ds, St, John’s Guild is now itselfin extreme embarras- ment for want of money and necessaries to carry on its work. Every effort has been strained to meet the requirement of midwinter nights and days, Sickness has been widespread, and drugs and medical attendance are always expen- sive. Fuel, too, ate into the scant treasury, and warm cloths had some times to be Purchased, The suffermg has not died out with the expiring Winter, In fact it is hard}: diminished. The 150 visitors have contributed ‘ill they can give from their slender means no longer. A8 every une knows, the ofticials are never paid. Now they are calling to the. kind hearted in the great city for aid, and the “city of charity’ will not turn a deaf ear to the appeal of this non-sectarian char- ity. They ask for money, for food, for medicine, cast-oif clothes, They can use a thousand things of trivial value, and even a three-cent bunch of kindling wood will bring a moment’s warmth and cheer to the cellar or attic of the sick and dying. Such money as may be contributed may be sent to C. V. B. Ostrander, President of the Merchants’ Fire insurance ere 149 Broadway; G. J. N. Zabriskie, Cashier of the People's Bank, corner of Canal and Thompson streets; J. L. Davis, of Shel- don & Co., 677 Broadway; N. P. Hosack, 15 West Twenty-first street, and Rev. Alvan Wiswall, Mas- ter of St. John’s Guild, St. John’s chapel, Varick Street, Packages may be sent to St. John’s chapel. THE SOUTH BROOKLYN HIGHWAY ROBBERY, Two More Men Arrested as Accomplices, Yesterday the police of the Third precinct ar- rested two more parties on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of Thomas O'Brien, near the corner of Van Brunt and Sackett streets, South Brooklyn, on Saturday night. The accused gave their names as John McNally and John Cagen. It Was stated by the police that Mr, O’Brien, who is a stevedore, was paying off his men in the liquor saloon of Moses Bulger, at the corner of Van Brunt and Degraw streets, and soreported in the HERALD of yesterday. Mr. Bulger appears to think this a refiection on his place of business, and desires it to be understood that Mr. O’Brien was not in his saloon on Saturday night.
