der of the Sartorius brothers has been
received from the Spanish authori-
ties. A meeting to discuss the stu

which for magnitude and display Of
enthusiasm. has never been surpassed.
Joseph Marti was the principal speak
er. He admitted that there were
chances for the failure of the present
movement, and explained the causes
that may lead to its early abandon
ment, but at the same time he set
forth the fact that such a result can
have no serious effect on the Cuban
revolutionary party, which will work
until Cuba is free. He was greeted
with great applause, and was followed
by other prominent local orators.
There was not standing room in the
hall. All the addresses were deliv-
cred in Spanish. Those in the audi
ence representing the workmen in all
cigar factories on this island, yolun-
tarily assessed themselves so each to

between S20,0 600 and $50, ZOO will be
paid into the treasury within three

COLLECTING FUNDS STEADILY
and vigorously for two wears. One
hundred thousand dollars, which has
been held here in their clubs, was
shipped Wednesday night to the cen
trail cOmmitte in New York. News
of their new SO assessment was
cabled today TO all other Cuban col

some Americans, have promised TO GO

FL Yara, the Cuban paper published
at Key West, says: THE notices OF
the revolutionary movements in Hol-
gum, published in Havana papers,
are vague, confused and contradic-
tory. On one side they make the
movement of great Importance, on
the other they place the number of the
insurgent forces at $50. While these
~tiattering notices appeal to Spanish
enthusiasm, the Province of Santi-
ago continues in a state of siege
and the governor general continues
sending ships and troops with all
haste to Gen. Zachambre in Orient.
Comparing these actions any one can
see the truth is hidden in a
MASS OF CONTRADICTION.
The steamer Mascot has just sailed
for New York, having on board a
Spanish spy. He was given to under.
stand that this climate did not agree
with him, and was escorted to the
steamer by from so to 100 Cubans,
who stood guard at the gangway To
ensure his safe departure. He had
been under suspicion, and last night
created a sensation in San Carlos,
densely packed as it was, by inter.
rupting Marti with the announce.
ment that four men were on their
way thither TO assassinate Marti.
The spy was forced TO sit down, but
afterwards arose, tiourishing a pistol.
1t was wrenched from his hand. II
is thought he intended creating O
panic, and that it was the intention
to Kill Marti and others during the
confusion so that no one could be
held responsible. Cubans set spies on
the man and found that his actions
justified their suspicious. 1t is said
he has disclosed the Cubans' methods
OF smuggling arms and ammunition
into Cuba. besides other things which
they prefer to remain unknown. The
spy was non-cemmittal when asked
the reason for his sudden DEPARTURE
