THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
AN APPEAL BY GEN. JORDAN TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.

their sympathy for the people OF CuDa Ill lhe strug
gle for freedom and nationality OF ther own,
American and republican in its character / am
satisfied that this sympathy only needs direction to
take practical material shape for the immediate
benefit of sorely oppressed people; therefoie /
shall not hesitate appeal directly to them Tor ub-
stantal aid, and in manner that does not Vlaate
any laws of their country. Cuba does not need men
although of course the aid of some veteran soldiers
would be of great service at this immediate juno
ture-but she does need shoes, clothing and msdi-
cines, for none are in the country. Hundreds OF
brave men are standing in my sight almost naked,
many quite So and few with shoes of any sort but
all manifestng delight that at last they havearms
and ammunition in their hands with which to meet
an enemy whose atrocous habit it is, as can teify
to butcher the wounded and prisoners. Men more
willing TO become soldiers never saw. There but
one sentiment among them-the inextinguislable
resolution to be rid of Spain and Spaniards AID at
every sacrifice to be free. People of the Tilted
States out of the great abundance of your sores
send these struggling, brave men, who woult be
your brothers. clothing. shoes, medicines-at hast
some bread as also some clothing, for their women
and children. OF meat there is quite enough, ant an
exhaustess supply of vegetables but bread wUld
be of infinite advantage to the sodiery. AT very
little cost to individuals, all that ask may be dOe
Let the matter DO undertaken with method md
organization, and incaculabe and timely benGts
may be heaped upon the people OF Cuba-bendts
little short of the value of arms and ammunition.

EXCITEMENT IN MADRID OVER THE SICKLE
TCH-RE-ENFoRCEMENrs URGED.
LONDON Sept 1.-THE Madrid correspondent
The London Times writes follows Hitherto the
Spanish Government and the press have nm
wisely adopted the plan of conceallng unfayorablt
Cuban news. But the Epood has now broken the
silence and startled Spaniards by making state
ment of the actual facts AMI by vehemently urging
parties so that the Government may be left free to
save Cuba. The news of Gen Sickless proposal TO
recognize the Cuban insurgents rs belligeronts has
caused "A much excitement as il no threatened 10
take the part of the Cubans. IL had the effect 90
make funds fall to the lowest point which they have
touched for the past 10 years. The dispatch OF Gen
Siclles has not yet been published. Whatever It's
moral effect may be, the remonstrance of the Uniteu
States has unquestionably terrified the spanlaId'
amazingly.
A FLEET OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OPINION
PARIS. Sept l4.-Letters from Madrid assert that
feet OF iron-cads will be sent to Cuba In November
IN case the United States recognize tho insurgents
The Spanish Government stops all kilograms which
il does not approve especially those concerning
| Cuba. The Barcelona Didiio hopes that, notwith'
standing the action Of the United States Spain will
know how TO maintain her flag and her dignity.
THE LONDON TIMES on CUBA-sPAIN PLAYING
HER LAST CARD.
| LONDON, Sept. l4.-1he Times, in an editorial on
the Cuban question: says; IL the American negotia-
tions for the cession Of Cuba have failed, 1t must
he becanse the sum rendered was deemed insufficient
| or the Washington Government breads the opposi-
ton of those who feel confident that Cuba must fall
into the hands Of the United States, and deem 1t
| folly 10 incur liability The Spanish Government
has been admOnished TO put an end to the lnsurrec
1
| circumstances have prompted the Madrid Govern
| ment to play its last card for the Antilles, and
| stake all Oh it, it cannot be congratulated on
| its resolution The subugation of Cuba cannot be
achieved by soldiers nor will it result from series
of victories Troops may hold the seaports, but the
inland regions will be against them. Armed columns
NAV traverse the island. but can nowhere establish
| a permanent footing. With the exception OF few
Traders Spain has no friends III the island PTlm and
Serrano have often told the COrtes that the loss OF
| Cuba is merely question Of time For four months
| thew have been devsing the most advantageous
| terms. II is to be hoped that wisdom and consis
tency will enable them to that it is good to be
rid of the island on any terms, and cause them to
| consider, before wasting men and money which they
| cannot spare in the furtherance of an enterprise
which will never yield hundredth part Of what II
! has already rreparably cost.
