Mr. Kilburn replied thatit was not a question whether the Lonsdale Company had cut down more than any other mills, but it was @ ques- tion whether the Lonsdale Company could continue to run and pay the wages that they had been paying in the past, He then was asked what report they should convey tothe meeting this morning and he referred them to the the letter of the Goddard Brothers, pub- hisbed in the H¥naupy where it was said that their decision was fina He did mot think that if they remained out three months the company would alter their decision, but said that it cloth ad- vanced the company would be willing to give them the Deneut of the rise. He concluded by wishing to be | distinctly understood that he had no hard feelings | against any of the operatives and tbat the ringleaders would be received the same as the others. THE QUESTION OF WORK OR NO WORK. Henry Lewis, the chairman, here put in an appear- ance. He stated, now that the coinmittee had been | heara from, it’ was the duty of operatives to accept or reject the proposition to go to | work, He advised them to consider well the | 4mportant question before deciding.

He counselled them mot to be too hasty. Mr. Mooney said he was instructed by the committee to say .that as a comiuittee they did not wish to advise one way or the other, but it was tor the 0 ves to take the pext step, If they did advise them it would be said that & ‘ow men were leading the whole crowd. Whatever is to be done must be done by the whole party. otion was then made that the operatives do not ac- pt the reduced wages, which means to con- nue the strike, which was passed by an alinost wnani- how of hands, amid the greatest enthusiasm, there was but one band visible on the call for contrary minded. Mr. Mooney hoped the reporters would put this down as itoccurred. “This ts nota menting of boys and girls,” said be, “but of men and Women, nor can it be said either that two or three are leading the rest.” Mr. Ramsden advised every one to go home quietly, and thus keep the respecs of our nd let everybody know nsdale are civilized beings, NO CHANGE AT THX MILLA ‘The meeting then adjourned till to-morrow morning at ten o'cloex, and the crowd dispersed.

The Spanish Legation has developed lately quite a, feverish activity, Dom Merry y Colon hoids almost | daily conferences with Baron Bllow, Secretary of State | for Foreign Affaire, As at this moment no differences exist between Spain and Germany, it 1s beheved these | occupying the attention of European governments. Some four weeks ago the American Chargé d’affaires, | Mr. Nicholas Fish, in the absence of the Minister, 1n- | formed the Foreign Office of a note from his govern- ment on the Cuban affair, without, however, leaving ‘an official copy of the same. This note, simultancously cominunicated to all the leading European Cabinets, signifies the Spanigh government is unable to quell the insurrection in Cuba; shows the necessity in the in- terests of all nations entertaining comfnercial relations acquainted the Spanish government with their inten- tions and propositions, Instead of convincing them- | possession of their colony. General Jovellar was sent | to Cuba with aconsiderable number of troops and | mull power to act, Not satisfled with this, on the 23d of | December the Madrid government addressed a sort of reply to the American note to all foreign Powers, THs NOTR, delivered by Don Merry y Colon to Baron Bilow at | the Foreign Office to-day, states that the Spanish government is endeavoring to settle with great readi- ness all reclamations made in consequence of the in- | | eurrection. Different cases are cited, as, for instance, | the claims of a German subject, imtediately acceded | to, The asturance is given that only a few reclam: | tions of ceveral English and French have not been di | charged, but solely because the examinations have not | yet terminated. Joveliar, the new Governor General of Caba, according to the hote, has received particular | instractions to do everything possible to protect the in- | terests of foreigners and avoid abusea. As a proof that with the islind of putting an end to it, and asks whether it were not practicable to make a Joint friendly remonstrance with Spain, The | Washington Cabinet, in very loyal terms, BOARD OF EDUCATION. igataspanmat GERMAN AND FRENCH IN THE SCHOOLS—RE- PORT ON TRUANCY—STANDING COMMIT~ TEES, The usual meeting of the Board was held yesterday, President Wood tn the chair, On motion, the consia- eration of the minutes of the last meeting was post- | poned. Mr. Lawrence D, Kiernan was unanimously re- | elected Clerk of the Board and Mr. John Davenport A | negotiations refer to the Cuban question, at present | auditor. Superintendent Kiddle’s report set forth that there | are at present in operation 307 public schools; 45 male | grammar schools; 46 female grammar schools; 13 | mixed schools for boys and girls; 65 primary depart ments; 46 primary schools; 8 schools for colored children; 85 evening schools; 43 corporate schools; 1 nautical school; 1 normal training school The ag- gregate attendance for the last day of last year was 120,853 against 117,239 on the last day of the preceding year, The number of scholars on the lists of the schools during the year was 254,722 against 251,545 the | preceding year. | On motion of Mr. Dowd the Comptroller was re- | quested to deposit the sum of $300,000—the amount | appropriated for public instruction—subject to the drafts of the Board, tion at the Centennial Exhibition of the educational operations, its style of architecture and other distin- gaishing elements of the system. Commissioner Klam- roth, chairman of the committee, earnestly advocated such representation, He reminded the Board that im_ mediate action was necessary, and offered resolutions ‘to the effect that the Board take part in the Centennial the objects relating to the educational system of the city recommended by the committee; that an appro- priation not exceeding $2,000 be made for the purpose mentioned, and also that a committee, consisting of five members, with executive powers, be authorized to audit the bills. Commissioner Wood, who had temporarily left the chair, submitted that such an exbibition as that men- the insurrection has not damaged commercial relations with foreign countries, the note quotes the constant | increase of exports and imports. The Spanish govern. | ment Gnally declares that it is now making great efforts | to suppress the revolt—an undertaking of no small | diMculties, owing to the whole insurgent corps, which | is estimated in Madrid at 6,000 mulattoes and negroes, | European troops are exposed to deadly and contagious diseases. | BISMARCK’S POLICY. Nothing decisive can at present be said of the eventual resolution of the German government relative | to a suppression of the revolt in Cuba. I can neverthe- Jess assure you that Prince Bismarck was much disposed toward concurring in the proposition of the Washing- ton Cabinet, Germany, having drawn a greater part | of the export and import trade with Cuba to her- | | self, suffers much by the present unsettled state | of ‘affairs. As proof of this, we can only refer to | | | | a petition of German merchants iu Havana, | } who made their grievances known to the Reichstag and asked for assistance. The in- surrection in Cuba, devastating since 1968 this | beautiful island, tending toward its final ruin, deserves the attention of ctvilized Powers in just as high « degree as the revolt in the Herzegovina, 1n the same manner as the three Northern Empires are combining to restore peace and tranquillity in the Ballthan Penin- sula, America offers Spaiu her good offices of a triend!y mediation, which certainly do not merit contemptible rejection.’ If European ‘governments repadiate tho proposition of President Grant to put anend to the atrocities in Cuba, it ts a sign of great shortsightedness, While the German press approvingly discusses tho American plan, that of Russia criticises it very sharply. Foremost stands the Journal de Saint Peters- burg, the recognized organ of Prince Gortschakoff and the Russian Foreign Office, which writes as follows:— “Europe sympathizes too highly with the exer- tions made by the young King of Spain and his government this lust year to restore permanent order in his country not to wish his being spared from for- | eign complications, which would only promote the in- | terests of the enemies of the present constitutional | monarchy.”” It seems as though im St, Petersburg the | opportunity will be embraced to give vent to the ro- | pressed anger against the United States Since the Catacazy affair, the refusal of the United States to take | part in the International Congress ip Brussels respect- ing war usages proposed by the Emperor Alexander and Schuyler’s despatch ‘on Central Asia, Russian | otticial circles are so embittered against the United States that for some time it was even doubtful if Rus- sian merchants and manufacturers would recelve per- mission to participate in the Philadelphia Exhibition, CASTELAR’S ADDRESS TO HIS CON. STITUENTS. | WHAT HE THINKS OF THE WAR IN CUBA. Sefior Castelar, in addressing the electors of Barce- Jona and Valencia, expresses his views upon the war | now raging in Cuba as follows:— | Spain ts engaged in two wars at the present mo- | ment—the war in Cuba and thai in the North of Spain. If we give our attention to the war in Cuba it will bo atonce evident that reform and not arms alone are | necessary to end it, One of our most glorious polttical | acts was the abolition of slavery in Porto Rico It was | passed unanimously by that glorious Assembly, whose memory will uever fade gn the remembrance of good | men and whose example will serve asa lesson for future generations, The abolition of slavery in Porto Rico implies its abolition in Cuba To prepare the way for | ‘this our Minister of Foreign Affairs has set out for that | distant territory; and since the same Captain General, who was sent out by our government and who an- nounced in obedience to his orders that servile labor could no longer exist, is now about to take the com- mand, the coming Legislature must prepare a project for emancipation, Sores, like slavery, cannot be treated except by entire removal; and as long as we delay to remove this osre, 80 long will the war con- tinue; ang with slavery the present indefensible mil tary absolutism and really absolute and irresponsible administration must also be removed. Ali Rurope and America will ro{use us the moral support necessary to maintain our territory in the New World as long as they see tt stained by the worst crime and most odious institutions that past centuries have bequeathed to our age Ascheme of reform is indispensable and urgent if wedo not wish to find ourselves soon in the pres- ence of an irreparable catastrophe, BRITISH SHIPS AND CARLIST BAT- TERIES.

A short time alterward it floated close to Her Majesty's ship Mutine, and as we wore very short of coal we thought of picking it up; fortunately, as you will see m the resuit, we did no such thing. The United States gunboat Wateree, being close to us atthe time, seat her boats and secured it, losing no time in transferring |ts contents to her coal bunkers, but when about to use ft in the furnace the lamps wre, luckily, too large, and on being broken disclosed smal! shell inside some and bottles of explosive stuff inside re from an officer of the W: wi informed me that {t was not a pleasant sensation, at they might have been “‘Gring up with tor- I remain, sir, your obedient servant, RB.

Commissioner Baker moved to take from the table the report of the Committee on Studies on the subject of teaching the German and French languages in the publie schools, The report suggested the propriety of contining the instruction in these languages to the three higher grades in the sch Commissioner Klamroth strenuously urged the necessity of allowing the question to remain where it was until the new members of the Board should be- come thoroughly acquainted with its details, He sub- mitted that too much care could not be exercised tn the. disposition of @ matter of so great importance, and concluded by moving to lay Commissioner Baker’s mo- tion on the table, This motion was declared ont of order by a yote of the Board, and, the original motion having been adopted, Commissioner Baker proceeded to give a brief his- tory of the question as formerly presented. In 1873 it was discovered that attempts were made to introduce | the German language into the schools to the detriment ofthe English. The matter had frequently come before the Board, and it was necessary that some decided ac- tuon should be taken in the premises, Commissioner Klamroth again submitted that too much haste was shown in the matter and thought that it required more serious consideration before any de- cided action should be taken. Commissioner West, in the course of a lengthened address, stated that efforts had been made to introduce the German in the Normal School to the exclusion of the French language. He contended that the majority of the Board had Soeae expressed disapprobation at the introdnction of one ea ar ad to the detriment of another, and the Board should be entirely opposed to Swine Prominence and privileges to one nationality which another had no right to expect. Commissioner Kiamroth denied that any jempt had been made against the introduction of the French language in the Normal School, After some discussion the question, on motion of Commissioner ES Kane, was postponed for furthor consideration, TRUANCY, Mr. Alexander M. Stanton, Superintendent of Truancy, that:— During the month of June six police officors were detailed to the department to act as Agents of Truancy. Five were placed in the Seventh district, and one, Roundsman Sher- wood, was attached to the office of the Superintendent for svecial duty, ‘This arrangement continued only during the mouth, sh the ion an het who was continued in the position to which he had. een pre’ sly assigned. The duties performed by this officer are, making arrests where warrants aro issued and convey- tng children onder sentence of the Court to Randal)’s Island. ‘Phe great delay that arose in having warrants served by the court officers, as well as thas occurring in taking the children to Randall's Isiand made it ni that there should be some otlicer introsted with that duty.

Each of the democratic members of the Board of Aldermen yesterday received an anonymous communi- cation in opposition to the confirmation of Mr, Allan Campbell, the Mayor’s nominee for Commissioner of Public Works, Energetic efforts have been made during the past weck to this end, It is probable, how- ever, that the effort will be fruitless, The Board of Aldermen hold their regular meeting this afternoon, when the subject will be brought up. The Board con: sists of twenty-two members, A majority is all that is required for confirmation. Seven republican membe: have already declared for Mr. Campbell. Five add tional votes are all that will then be required. Thi only difficulty that now seems to be in the way 18 the statement that the gentleman has acted, until very re- cently, with the republican party, and has only paid $1 25 per day to his own laborers. The following isa copy of the letter above alluded to:— New Yor, Jan. 18, 1876, Dear Sin—The object of this communication is to brin | to Your notice certain facts relating to the confirmation of M ‘Allan Campbell, which the writer considers of sufficient im* ortance to tho democratic party to communicate, Who To's.

DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS. The Commissioners of the Department of Docks met yesterday afiernoon, President Salem H. Wales in the | chair, all the members being present. | D. D, Smith, the lessee of pier No. 34 North River, | appeared before the Board to press his claims for | $3,400 for the widen ng of the said pier under a special | resolution passed by the Common Council. It seems | that before the Dock Commissioners came into power | Mr, Smith loased the said pier for aterm of yours, and | the Street Commissioner at that time was authorized | to have the work done on pier No, i4 by the Common Council, The Street Commissioner gave the job to Mr. Smith, but that gentieman has never been reim- bursed by phe city. He therefore appeais to the Com- missioners of Docks for the amount, Commissiquer Dimock stated to the gentieman that the Boardcould do nothing In the matter, that it was out of their power; his only redress was to pay his romt wader pro- test and sue the city for the amount, Charles E. Hill, President of the American Pier and Column Company, appeared before the Commissioners and presented plans for the building of piers and buik- heads of stone and steel. His plans were referred to the engineer in chief of the department. On a motion of President Wales it was resolved to insure the mammoth derrick used by the department for $75,000. A. HL Gallier asked to be allowed to place on one of the piers a new patent light. ‘The rer reported that the expenditures for the past week had been $5, 65, and receipts $2,407 93, Amount op hand, $353,572 11. AN ILLEGAL APPOINTMENT. Mayor Wickham yesterday recetved from ex-Judge Spencer a copy of an opinion delivered by him as referee in the case of Jacob A. Burton, an ex-Inspector | successor in office. ality of the appointment of any of those inspectors. Hie contends that bat two inspectors should have been | appointed, and th not as in: noe at large. Should this opinion be confirmed the Courts the presont Inspectors of Weights and Measures will be ousted, and the Mayor and Board of Aldermen must appoint their successors. JUSTICES’ RETURNS. The books in the Comptroller's office show the total fines received from the Police Courts throughout the city tor the year 1875 to be $72,498 05, while the total for 1874 was only $71,287 25. The appropriations made for thi 1874, $171,880 40; for 1875, $171,880 40; and for 1876 ary While the expenses have beem reduced by $11, 40, the receipts have imecreased $1,210 30.
