To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
DEAR SIR-Allow us the use OF your columns for
the purpose OF informing the public that we, the
undersigned, are the only officially authorized
agents and representatives OF the republican gov.
ernment OF Cuba abroad. This statement has be-
come necessary, not only In answer to numerous
daily inquiries rom all quarters, but also in view
OF the fact that various persons, some OF them un-
doubtedly with the best motives, have undertaken
the task OF collecting funds In aid or the
suffering Cubans, not only withous any authority
from but even against tile express directions Of
our government. This general agepcy processes
no desire, even II 1t had the power, to restrain
individual action, but deems it proper that there
should be no misapprehension In the matter With
regard to the repeated offers Of "volunteersn for
Cuba, while duly appreciating the generous spirit
which prompts them, we feel constrained 20 de-
clare that they will not be accepted at present,
under any circumstances, and beg to add, further.
more, that, as the represen tatives OF govern
ment, we positively condemn oil attempts TO
recruit or enlist men, as being in direct violation
OF the laws OF the land, which II first duty
respect. Very respectfully, your obedient SER
wants, M. QUESADA,
