lence-2ecruiting for the Cuban Army
or Occupation at Sing Sing.
The defiant attitude OF Spain since the barbarous
massacre at Santiago de Cuba, together with the
studied insolence OF her minions towards the
diplomatic and consular agents OF our government.
have aroused throughout Westchester county an
intense feeling OF hostility towards that blood
thirsty nation. At all places OF common resort.
wherever two or more citizens may meet, the prob
ability OF war with Spain is eagerly discussed.
While eyerish anxiety to learn the 'Iatest news'
Is observable even among those more staid citizens
who are not wont to take any special interest
IN passing events. The apparent hardness OF the
state Department at Washington In not having,
ere this time, made the inhuman butchers in Cuba

by our outraged nag. comes IN for it's share OF
denuneiation, and the pertinent question 'Is
peace so desirable to be purchased at the price
OF national disnonors' meets with such unani-
nous response az can only proceed from the lips
OF a patriotic, high-minded and brave people. The
local newspapers, where they have any views
urge that the national honor and dig.

power. II that condition Is not soon accepted,
then let voice be for war and annexation.
Hallway measures no more. Free Cnbal ana

Especially among the young men Is the war
fever almost at IT'S height, causing the results or
the recent money panic in rendering employ

while American citizens werc dragged from

all that they desire now is speedy opportunity Of
meeting the mongrel miScreants on Cuban soil.
In the matter OF recruiting Sing Sing village has
taken the lead. At tnat place Captain A. w. Jen-
nlngs, practical, sOldierly Teuton who has seen
service in the Schleswig H0lsteIn war, and who
for some years held captains commission in the
National Guard OF this State, is organizing COM
pany to be known as the ''Sing Sing First United
Artillery" Already SO members have been en-
rolled. while numerous applications being
hourly rejected, as none but picked men, and
those who have seen active service, will be
accepted 1t is confidently expected that the
requisite number will be completed by the middle
Of this week, when the company will parade the
village with music and banners. Captain Jennings
assured HERALD representative yesterday that
he "meant buslness,n and expressed an earnest
hope that the government Of the United StareS
would declare war against Spain, in which event
himself ana his command Will be ready to set our
for Cuba Oh short nOtlce.
