attended, including. many Cubans. The
meeting was called to order by Allen
Curry, who was elected chairman. C. B.
Pendleton stated the object of the meeting.
A motion to adjourn was carried, but on a
vote to reconsider the meeting was held
Resolutions were then put and carried
which might be likened to Sylla's famous
prescription. Mr.. Pendleton said that some
person handed him a list which contained the
names OF seven Objectionable citizens who
were detrimental 60 the peace of the city,
being Cuban outlaws and criminals. These
were publicly read and eleven others added
by those present. A committee of five
Americans and five Cubans was appointed
to investigate the others. Another COM
mittee was named to call on Mayor Malo,
ney and ask him to cause those prescribed
to appear before him and order them TO
leave the island within a week and not re-
turn. The mayor received the committee
and refused TO act saying that as an
executive city officer he would enforce the
laws against violators, but he would never
act arbitrarily, ard that those who passed
the resolution might shoulder the RESPONSE
bility. The committee then apologized to
the mayor. Another meeting will be held
on Monday, whom the citizens may pass
resolutions to act There is no telling what
may happen. The accused parties have
not asked the protection Of the Spanish con-
sui.
