TO LlBERATE CUBA.
Another Revolution said to n. In Prepsr~.
riou


The New York Bord yesterday published an
article declaring that another revolution is on
foot to lberate Cuba. Preparations /, says are in
active progress in this and other cities as well
as upon the island itself. When it will break
forth is as yet unknown, but from all indica-
tons all the plans Of the leaders are now nearly
ripe. The first blow may be struck within a few
DAYS
The movement is stated upon good authority
to be the largest and most completely orgAn-
lied ever inaugurated for Cuban independence.
There are said to be 5000 Cuban patriots in
this country ready TO Join in the war. In Cuba
the revolutionist party is also actively pre-
pairing for the outbreak. and when the word ID
given the forces on Spanish and United states
soil wsl act IN conjunction for the overthrow
OF the Spanish yoke.
The plans have been in progress for several
months. New York has been made the head.
quarters. but SO much secrecy has been MAIN
tanned that the news OF the coute mplated up
rising leaked out only yesterday. Then ID
became known that for several months past
meetings OF Cubans have been held in
Tampa and Key West. Fla, and during the past
six weeks IN New York. for the purpose OF
organizing an army aud raising funds to assist
the residents of Cuba who are dissatisfied with
the Spanish government
In New York three revolutionist clubs have
been formed. Another club will be organized
next Sunday. The names Of the clubs are the
Los Independents. the Jose MART Club named
in honor of its promoter, Senior Jose MART,
the Uruguayan Consul Penos Neuvo. Nexs
Sunday the Porto Ricans of New York viii
form revolutionary association.
Cuban now in New York city, who is one of
the most prominent in the movement, says the
people of Cuba are dissatisfied because the
Spanish government did not carry out the re.
forms which ii promised after the late reyolu.
ton. The clubs in this country, he said, have
been thoroughly organized and their plans
have been mapped out in good shape. The
revolution, he added. would come very soon.
Two coasting vessels left few weeks ago, and
1t was reported that each ore carried q cargo Of
arms for Venezuelan insurrecuonists, but 10
was said in Spanish circles n few days ago rhas
the arms were landed At Key West and were
destined for use in Cuba.
K A. c. Smith, the Wall street broker, has
immense interests In Cuba He recently re-
turned to the United States from extensive
trip in the West Indies. When spoken 10 yes-
terday regarding the probable revolution he
secuted the idea and said the island was never
in q more prosperous condition. The planters,
he said, we're investing their money al home,
and that fact demonstrated to him that thsy
have no idea Of revolution.

that the missing piece had been cut out. But

fore those girls in the endeavor to establish a
reputation for daredevil fun. The Chinaman
eyed him with that stolidity which the race has
accumulated through generations of starva-
ton. Finally my o'er-bright friend tired of
his monkey shines and said:
Just watch me have some fun with that
Chinaman.'
