A Seizure of the Gunboats to be Hade
To-day Five Spanish Frigates
En Route for New York
The Operations of the
Junta.
VFVotn the K. Y. World of to-day.
f Contrary to the expectations! of the Cuban
Junta and others, tho seizure of the Spanish
gunboats by the civil authorities did not take
place yesterday, In consequence of tho time rc-
; quired for completing the necessary documents).
- A separate libel lias to bo made out for cacli
pin boat, one copy of which Is served on tho
vessel, another Is sent to Washington, another
is deposited with tho United States Marshal, and
tho fourth is retained by the United States Dis
trict Attorney. Thus 1:20 documents are neces
sary for tho simple act of taking possession of
the thirty vessels. These, together with all the
accompanying papers, were to have been com
pleted last evening, and it is expected that the
seizure will be made this morning. At a lata
. hour yesterday Judge l'ierrepont telegraphed to
. Washington for further Instructions, but the
nature of the reply has not transpired.
Thf labelling Affidavit,
nnon which District Attorney Picrrcpout's ac
tion is based, was made by Senor Alfaro, of the
Junta. This gentleman has been closelv watch
ing the vessels from tho day the first keel was
laid until the present time, and through discreet
ngents he has kept himself posted respecting
- every movement made in connection with them.
As soon as tho Spanish Government made the
! ' formal demand for their surrender, he drew up
an ffldavlt,settlng forth thecharactcrof the gun-
: boats, stating that their armament and munitions
had already been conveyed to Havana; that

present in the harbor, and that their evident
purpose was not only to make war upon an es
tablished government in Cuba with which tho
United estates was at peace, but to relievo the
Spanish squadron and enable it to resume hos
tilities against the friendly nation of Peru. This
attldavit having been placed in the hands of
Judge Plerrepont,mcasures were at once adopted
by that ofilccr to execute tho laws relating to
. the subject.
It.bavlng been suggested to Senor Alfaro that
7"accordlng to tho neutrality laws one-half tho
' proceeds from tho sale of vessels condemned
for violation of said laws goes to tho informer,
that gentleman announces that should the gun
boats be condemned and sold he shall present to
. .the treasury of the Junta whatever amount may
accrue to him from the transaction.
The gunboats are still in the hands of tho
naval authorities, some officer from tho Navy
yard being constantly on duty with a tug at the
v "ewharf where the gunboats are lying. A revenue
' cutter is anchored out in the stream, and every
; ' precaution is taken against any ono of the ves
sels stealing away. Tho sum to be paid for
tuem by the Spanish Government has been kept
profound secret, but some idea may be formed
fof their cost from the fact that the sails of each
Vessel were contracted for at $3000, making
vjwu.uw lor mis item alone, as tne sails are
" I . . i . 1 . . .
niau auu iuw m nuinucr. me louii contract price
of the vefse!s,e6tiiiated from these figures, must
r be rather a heavy bill for Bpain to pay in tho
present condition of her finances.
The Cubnu Junta
is in the best of spirits over tho new aspect of
affairs, and the headquarters at No. 71 Broadway
, was crowded yesterday with enthusiastic
' Cubans. Half a dozen officers of the stoamcr
; Cuba, seized at Wilmington, were assembled
about the place most of the day, and notwith
standing their own disappointment in not being
able to carry out their purposes with tho new
j Cuban war steamer, seemed to bo scarcely less
pleased than themselves at the prospect of as
sistance to tho cause from the United States
authorities. The apartments of the Junta were
thrown open, and the secrecy which has usually
eharactcrized business there was wholly dis
rxnsed with.
Only ono or two members of the Junta were
present, and at times the headquarters were left
entirely in the charge of the attendant, who
' busied himself at a desk in tho ante-room while
visitors strolled in and out of the apartments and
spread themselves about as if it were a sort of
movinir day and the occupation of the Junta bad
ceased, uccassionaiiy a member ot tne Junta
would drop in, chat with his acquaintances,
snitKe a cigarette while lie looked over the
capers, and then drift out again, evidently in a
Very comfortable frame of mind.
In an upper room at some distance from these
headquarters a very different scene was pre
sented. If ere the members of the Junta sat in
.council around a long table, and two secretaries
ftt an adjacent desk were busily writing. The
proceedings ot tne council were secret, ana
whenever the meeting was disturbed by callers
(dl business was suspended until the visitor had
leftThe nature of their deliberations will trans
pire in a day or two, however, with important
Jesuits to the Cuban interests involved iu tho
seizure of the gunboats.
I Tho Junta claims that according to established
precedent the Spanish gunboats must bo con
demned, and cites the cose of the privateer
Josufa Scgunda, which in tho year 1820 was
ent out by the colony of Venezuela, while that
Jrolony was in insurrection against Spain, and
Tefore there had been any recognition of tho
belligerency of the insurgents. This privateer
' captured a Spanish merchantman, and brought
her prize into an American port. The Spanish
Government made a demand for tho surrender
of the vessels, and the United States Supreme
Court decided that although Venezuela had not
yet been recognized as a belligerent tho exist
ence of war between her and Spain was every
where knows, and that she was by her mainte
nance of tho war virtually an independent State.
; " I'pon this decision the request of Spain was
f denied, and the vessels were declared to bo the
lawful property of the insurrectionary colony of
J Venezuela. The Junta applies this theory
u the situation in Cuba, aud
vrgucs that on the same principle tho
H'niicd Stales mnst recognize the Uubuu repub
lic hs a State at peico with tha LJuliei States.

tlons against Cuba from An erlcan ports. Tho
Cubans also place grcut reliance upon the action
i of Congress, now about to assemble, and are
ighly gratified and cucouruged by tho nume
rous petitions being signed ' by tho American
people praying for the recognition of Cuba by
y the United States. Iu addition to the memo
! rials which heve been signed by thousands la
Iw York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other
cities throughout the country, a monster petl
! tion has just been started by tho ludies of Bal
I timore, to be signed only by ladies.
Four thousand signatures have already been
1 obtained in that city alone; and it Is intendod to
circulate the petition throughout, tho State, and
I finally to present it through a delegation to visit
JV'UHlilugton for that purpose. The members of
ae Junta state that if they enn do no moro than
-'cure the detention of the gunboats uatil Con-
reus uv;ets they will be content, as they feel
insured that ninoug tho first acts of Congress
U1 be the formal recognition of Cuba.
I Kpunloh Frigates Coming.
I Letters received by tho Junta from Havana
-tatu that five Spanish war vessels are about to
proceed from Cuban waters to New York. These
i vessels are the Iron clad Victoria, the first-class
wooden frigates Ahnanza and Gerona, aud the
veond-rlafc frigate I.ealtad. These are to come
oJSew York together, under the command of
Mhniral Mai Cuinpo, and, with the Pizarro,
now in the harbor, will make quite a formidable
squadron.
Tho ostensible purpose of these vosscls in
visiting New York is to undergo repairs; but
the Junta is of opinion that so largo a fleet could
not come bore at this juncture for such an ob
ject, and claims that the movements of the
squadron arc connected with a game of Spanish
bravado.
Ren I Meaning of the Naval Movement Deli
cate Mature ofthe Diplomatic Relation.
A correspondent of tho N. Y. Tribune writes
from Washington as follows:
In bringing tho wholo question under tho
iurisdictlon of tho United States Court at New
'ork, in order to obtain a decision as to the
right of our (Jovcrdmcnt to hold these gunboats
against the demands of Spain, tho President has
taken a step which assures him legal ground for
his action in any contingency that may
arise. Spain, of course, holds to the position
that, as our Government has permitted her to
build these gunboats and to pay for them, it is a
violation of justice and her rights to prevent
her obtaining possession of them.
It Is probable that the correspondence on this
subject between the two Governments has been
much warmer than has yet appeared, and that
especially within the last few days there have
been some passages of a very determinate char
acter. It is a fact that at Madrid representa
tions have been made to our Minister, which,
beyond doubt, go much further than any of
those that have yet been made by Senor Roberts
at Washington.
If General Sickles has not been assured of the
precise contingencies in which Spain will de
al are war, he has assuredly been given to under
stand by Senor Bccerra that our refusal to
deliver up tho Spanish gunboats on their com
pletion, or our recognition of the belligerent
rights of tho Cuban republic, would bo accepted
by the Spanish Government as cause of hostili
ties. When Spain began to indulge in these me
naces, some three months ago, our Government
was unprepared, even if it had been desirous, to
meet them. Spain has a respectable naval force,
and a number of very effective iron-clad vessels,
while the condition of our own navy had become
so bad that even Admiral Porter declared it
would bo out of our power to raise a Spanish
blockade of New York, or niuke any respect
able naval demonstration.
But all this has been changed within tho last
ninety days. During that time business has been
driven with tho greatest activity in our Navy
Yards here and elsewhere. A large number of
our vessels have been altered, repaired, and put
in older for service; guns have been mounted,
new engines put in, many of them raised to full
steam, and our navy is at this time in bettor
condition than it has been at any pclud for
years past.
Our fleet in Cuban waters has been strength
ened; our West India squadron has ben''in
creased in force; and some of our best iroh-cladsy-including
tho Dictator, the most powerful in tho
service, have been sent to Key West. In all
this there is no menace to the Spanish authority,
and no intention to Intimidate Spain; but there
is a very distinct intimation that our Govern
ment will not permit its policy, cither in regard
to Cuba or any other matter, to bo affected by
any threats that Spain may choose to make.
YAXDERBILT IN JAIL.
Ilornee Greeley anil OthcrN Victimized Sue.
ef'HHtut liullntloiiM of tli u WatcriiiK oi Stock.
tVota the if. Y. Hun of this rn.gr ning.
It was said yesterday that Cornelius Vanderbllt,
Jr., the son of Commodore Vanderbllt. had been
arrested for ottering a check on a bunk where he had
no money. Attention whs at once ilireeted to Cor
nelius Vanderbllt, Jr., who Is the Treasurer of the
Harlem Railroad. He, however, is not the son hut
the grandson of the bronzed mariner. The story got
abroad nnder the following circumstances:
Young Vanderbilt'a Fraudulent Check.
Some time ago younst Vanderbllt gave a check to
Melton T. Cady, in payment for a quantity of Rents'
furnishing goods. The check was drawn on a batik
In Hartford, Conn., ami when It was presented was
rejected and sent back protested. Mr. Cody there
upon Instituted a civil action. This dragged along
until llnully a Judgment against the young man was
entered. But the olllcurs of tho law could not Hud
any pi operty which he possessed, and they there
fore made return accordingly. The next proceeding
on the part rf Mr. Cady was to get an execution
against the body of the offending sclou 3f the house
of Vanderbllt.
An Fxrlllnsr Clinxe.
One of the Sherltrs deputies set about Undine: the
body. But the body was another Irishman's Ilea
one day it was In one hotel, and then on the follow
ing day in another pluce. The chase became ex
citing. It terminated, however, by tho deputy
finding young Vanderbllt In tho upper part of the
city, on the second floor of an elegantly furnished
house.
From tho Pnlnee to the I'rlson.
Thereupon the body of young Vanlerbllt was
lodged iu (he famous debtors' Jail in Ludlow street
Tho youngster's tituatlon was rendered exceedingly
disngieeubie by the fact that his venerable father
wouid not tolerate the mention of the festive scape
grace's name in his presence. Briefly, the governor
wouldn't pay a ceut of tho wavward youth's indebt
edness uuless the youth would repent aud become a
li. ember of the Church.
The young man found it inconvenient to do this
and therefore he lay fourteen days in jail. At the
expliation of this time a friend with whom young
Vanderbllt had been on draw-poker terms of Inti
macy, aud who is in that department of the Sheriff s
otllce in which the Judgments in civil actions are en
tered, saw ono Clmdwick In Vanderbilt's behalf.
Chadwick saw others and effected a release.
Balled by his Victim.
Mr. CPdy having become cenvlnced that he was
not likely to recover any ready money, and as ho
could not dispose of the body of Vanderbllt except
by keeping it in prison, he became Vanderbllt ' ball
as a matter of economy, and hence the youth is ut
large, subject to be rearrested at any moment.
Vanderbllt' Dealing with UauglMVout.
The consignment of the millionaire's child to the
dungeons of Ludlow street led to tho disclosure of a
truusuction with Messrs. K. V. Huughwout & Co.,
the extensive Importers of silverware, to whom he
hail given another worthless check. Tho cheek
which young Viinderbilt foisted upon them was in
paymeut for a set of magnificent crockery.
The lion. Ilornee Greeley Mulcted In 815,000.
Recently young Vanderbllt attempted to go Into
bankruptcy. He stated his debts at over $30i),uoi).
Among others to whom he owed various sums of
money was the Hon. Horace Greeley. The philoso
pher was visited by young Vanderbllt just when ho
was busily writing one of those pleaiaut little
articles on political economy.
"I have come to get your endorsement on a note,
Mr. Greeley," said Vanderbllt.
The philosopher heard the request with compo
sure. His niiud, however, was eugrosacd with his
work.
Mechanically ho took the chock which was pre
sented to him aud endorse! it. Youux Vanderbllt
went direct to a bank uud undertook to get the
cnecK canned.
Greeley' Klnnlure Attain.
No ono could decipher the endorsement. Young
vanderbllt said it was ing uara i or iiora :e (Jreeley.
Kvery person In the bank attempted to decipher it.
Then an aged and trustworthy clerk was despatched
to the Tribune olllce with the check.
"Mv God. iron, what do you want ?'' lnaulred tho
politico-economic philosopher, greatly annoyed when
tno cici K uiierrupiou mm.
"Is thut your signature V
"1 think it is," replied the philosopher, without
looklug up.
"Are vou sure It Is?"
"1 can't say for certain," replied the philosopher,
still bending over his work.
"I must kuow for certain whether it Is or not."
Mr. (Jreeley took the check in his hand, scrutinized
it, und huuded It hack, saying, "It U all rlght that
Is mv endorsement."
Young Vanderbllt received the money fromhe
uank,aud wnen tne chuck uecame uuo it wa.i uoi
paid, auu Mr. ureeiey nan to pay iu
The Urouzed Alarlner' Vinlt to the PbIIomo
ulier.
This came to the knowledge of tho elder Vander
bllt, and forthwith he posted to tne TriiiiiM omce.
He found the philosopher, as his son had found
him, busily writing, but this time he was preparing a
tenure.
"I am come to sav. Mr. Greeley." said the old
Commodore, "that J will not pay a cent of that
unecK."

Dttpatch to Tht Evening Telegraph,
Namiville, Nov. 34. The sentiment of tho
Legislature on the Chinese question was devel
oped yesterday on tho passage of a bill incor
porating tho Mississippi Valley Importation
Company. An amendment forbidding tho im

in the House by a vote of 53 to 15.
The Convention Uurxilon.
The convention question is exciting a good
deal of attention throughout the State, and there
is no lack of candidates. While there are no very
defined issues as yet enunciated in connection
with tho election of delegates, it is well under
stood that there is an undercurrent of feeling on
two points, especially repudiation of tho State
debt and negro suffrage. It Is broadly asserted
that Andrew Johnson, who will be a delegate,
will represent the repudiation and anti-negro
suffrage ideas, and that ho will press them on the
attention of tho convention. There will be a
few of the same stylo of thinking, but it Is ro
llably certain that tho political personnel of tho
convention will bo such thut the Stato credit
will not bo tampered with, nor Is thore any
doubt that the negro will have political rights
extended to him by constitutional provision.
Tho Legislature is rushing through business
pretty lively. It will probably adjourn about
tho middle of December.
