Cuban sympathy Meeting in Phil
adelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. %.
An immense mass meeting is being held
tonight in Independence Square, to ex-
press Indignation at the barbaritics com
mit,ed by the Spanish authorities in shoot
ing the American prisoners. Twelve or
fifteen thousand persons are present. Col.
John Swift was chosen President. with
forty Vice Presidents and twelve Sccrcta-
RES:
Col Swift spoke at some length, con
dcmning the course of the Spanish govern
nent, and urging the interference ofthe u.
States.
John Cadwallader introduced rcsolu-
tons justifying the course of the patriots,
and recommending the purchase of Cuba
by the United States, and war in the event
of SPANS refusal to sell.
A repeal of laws prohibiting the armed
intervention of American citizens for the
relief of those oppressed by tyranny. was
also recommended. The rules Of civilized
warfare were also urged in the treatment
of prisoners, and atoncment demanded OF
Spain for her recent atrocities

invoking liberty and annexation FOR Cuba.
When Mr.. c. Shahcr had concluded
Judge Read Of Cincinnati, was introduced
and spoke briefly. We have no space to
sketch his remarks. nor do we deem il ne
ccssary, since all the speeches were Of the
same tenor, and that Of Mr.. Rynders may
be reasonably taken as type ofall others.
Samuel c. Reid Of New Orleans, next
spoke TO the purport Of the following reso-
buttons. which he offered, and which were
adopted.
Resolved, That A. r. Owen, Of Geor-
gia, the American Consul at Havana, who
was called upon by the American residents
in that city, to make an effort in behalf of his
countrymen, the American Martyrs Of Lib !
erty, in denying to them his aid and inter-
ference, has proved himself unworthy of
the name of American, or Christian, and
he should oe held up to the opprobium
and scorn Of his fellow men.
Resolved, That the course pursued by
A. +. Owen, the American Consul at Ha-
vana, in relation to those gallant and noble
spirits who were so brutally butchered and
mastered by the Spanish tyrants. was
dastardly and Infamous, and has shown him
to be lost to all the feelings of humanity
and the generous impulses which should
nctuate the noble soul Of man.
Resolved, That the conduct Of A. f.
Owen. the American Consul at Havana.
towards his fellow countrymen, in this re-
gard, has shown his utter incapacity to
ill the Office he holds, and that bis removal
by the Government is unanimously called
for.
Mr.. ]. w. Brice of Kentucky. Mr.. E.
Blankman Of New York, Mr. O'Conner Of
New \ ork, Mr.. Thomas n. Carr of New
York, and Mr.. Myers of Pennsylvania,
followed in very short speeches of the same
general character. Nearly all the speak
ers were decidedly in favor, iniheir speech
es, Of the immediate Annexation Of Cuba
To this Union as a new State.
A branch meeting was organized on one
wing of the main body, and Mr.. George
w. Jaques, of YorkviIlc, made an address.
Mr.. Il. +. Purdy, the chairman, then an
nounced that another meeting would be
held this evening, and declared the present
orSuuIatioh ADJOURNED uhtii that tifne.
After the adjournment, number ofper
sons paraded the streets. with music, in
high state of enthusiasm and until very
late hour little crowds were gathered here
and there discussing he engrossing topic Of
public attention.
With one or two trihing exceptions,
good order was maintained, and with the
exception Of hundred or so Of well known
friends of the movement, there was very
little evidence of enthusiasm among the
crowd.

New YORK, August 29th.-Another ire
mcndous gathering of the Cuban sympa-
thisers was held in the Park tonight. AT
least 10000 persons were present. Ed
ward Blockman presided, and the meeting
was addressed by Enoch Camp, Thomas
n. Carr. Capt. Rynders and others. The
language ofthc speakers was more violent
and exciting than on the previous evening,
and as consequences the mob were raised
to the highest state ofenthusiasm. Banners
with bloody notices were distributed a
mong the crowd, and every means used to
increase the feeling of resentment against
the Cuban authorities.
Cheers, screams and groans were heard
on all sides, aud the latter especially pre-
dominated, when the Courier Express,
and Tribune papers were alluded TO. One
of the speakers, in the midst of a violent
harangue, begged the listeners to do moth
ing rashly, and especially deprecated the
attempt TO modest the Spanish Consul, as
had been threatened. "His Office" said
he, lis at 10 Leonard street, but don't, my
friends, do anything unlawful"
Alter hls speech, the sympathsers form-
ed procession, headed by band of music,
aad proceeded up Broadway, in the drcc-
ton Of Leonard street, shouting, yelling,
and threatening vengeance. The Spanish
Consul kept out Of the way, understanding
that a coat of tarand feathers had been pre-
pared for him. la consequence Of threats
directed against La Chronlca, the Spanish
paper, an extra police force of 800 men
had been stationed there.
