THE cuBAN's CASH.
Why the Letter Was Written TO
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OIney.


Waco, Texas. June 21.-John P Mas
sey, cashier of the Farmers & Mer
chants National bank, of this city,
when asked of the circumstances which
led up to his letter to Attorney Gen
eral Olney, published with the latter's
reply in the Associated Press dis
patches told the story of the incident
as follows:
About two weeks ago a couple of
dark compleXioned men, presumably
Cubans, called at the residence of Mr.
Massey about midnight, and stated
that they desired to make a business
proposition with regard to the deposit
of funds for the assistance of Cuban
insurrectionists. They claimed to be
representatives of the insurgents. but
declined to give their names. stating
that they realized they occupied
more or less perilous position. They
introduced themselves by mentioning
the names Of two young men, resi-
dents of Cuba, with whom Mr.. Massey
is we'll acquainted. On this account,
he listened to their proposition. They
desired to get some reputable bank
to act as a depository for the fund.
and stating that the bank so consent
ing would be advertised by circulars
distributed throughout the United
States, setting forth that sympathiz-
ers with the insurgents would forward
all contributions TO it. Mr.. Massey
agreed to consider their proposition,
but told them that he must first cor
respond with the United States At
torney-general as to the legal ques-
lions involved. They readily appre-
ciated MI Masseys position and
stated that ne would hear from them
again if a favorable reply was re-
ceived to his letter TO the attorney
general. If an unfavorable reply was
received, however, and was pub
lished, they stated they would call
the negotiation at an end.

QUESEDA AT WORK.
Has Raised Many Troops in the
Gulf States.

Gulf States.
New York, June 21.-The World says
General Quesada is moving vigorously
towards Cuba. His first expedition of
go men, chiefly enlisted in Brooklyn,
Jersey City, Coney Island and Port
Amboy, has gone in two companies
for the south. The main body went
by the Pennsylvania railroad to Nor
folk, Va, and from there We're tick
eted to Tampa, Fla. These points
will be temporary base of operations,
until the recruits are conveyed to the
place of final departure and embark
for Cuba.
The purpose of General Quesada's
recent mission in the south is now
more fully revealed. Besides extend
ing the Cuban system of raising troops
through the Gulf states, General
Quesada made a careful investigation
of the reported violations of the new
neutrality laws. The result is several
petitions destined for the United
States government protesting against
the wholesale usurpation of the Ameri-
can rights inside the three mile shore
limit.
The most formidable protest, it is
said, has been sent to the State de-
partment and embodies the facts con-
corning the alleged illegal boarding OF
vessels and yachts on the Florida
coast.

the work inaugurated today on the

At today's ceremony the young sons

THE MORA CLAIM.
News Creates Considerable Talk in
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, June 21.-The news
that Secretary Olney had instructed
the American minister at Madrid to
notify the Spanish government. that
the money due on the Mora claim
would have to be promptly paid over,
has caused the profoundest gratifica-
ton to the Cuban colony in this city.
One of the leaders said today:
I'VE accepted the order of the state
department that no overt act against
Spain must be committed by Ameri-
cans or others upon American soil
very complacently, as we have alway
endeavored to so conduct ourselves as
to dlsarm complaint on that score.
1t has been our care to avoid antan-
Cling the United States, the home of
our adoption, with Spain, and the fact
that we have been very circumSpect
is best shown by the fact that with all
the watchfulness of her agents in this
country, there have been SO few COM
plants with any substantial basis
made against US in this particular, and
Secretary Olney's demand that Spain
shall pay over the million and a half
dollars is one that Spain cannot con-
strue into an act that is done to favor
us, though it is most timely in our IN
terest''
How do you people expect to profit
by the order?" he was asked.
Because" was the reply, Spain is
already pressed to the utmost finan-
cially, and every dollar she is forced
to take or withhold from the suppress
sion of the fight in Cuba would directly
help us in any case, but there is
ground for the belief that Spain will
play her dilatory game again, and in
that case the government will seize
Havana, as she would be justified in
doing, and hold it until she pays her
self the amount due In that case
the moral effect in Cuba would be such
that Spain can never again resume
control of the island
The revolution from the start has
been a winning one for us. You dc
not get half the truth here. Even SC
apparently we'll settled a thing as the
death of Jose Marti, our president, is
not an absolute truth On the con
trary, he is on his way to this coun-
try, alive and we'll. In fact many o.
the best informed leaders here will b.
deeply disappointed if Jose Marti does
not in person address his fellow coun-
trymen in this vicinity in the course
of the next week or ten days"

from lengthy stay in Cuba, states
that he has no doubt that the Cubans
will be granted home rule as an out
come of the present instruction. Mr..
McDonough also states that he was
informed that $1O,0O0.0O0 of American
money is now at stake at Santiago

he knew MART was dead beyond
shadow of doubt. He was killed on
the west bank of the river at Ranau-
ganunos, a point bet Yeen Santiago de
Cuba and Bayamo.

ton in Cuba.
Tampa, Fla. June 21.-The follow
ing is said to be an appeal by Ameri-
cans in Cuba:
CAS- we are without any American
consul here, the government officials
say that Sanguilly and Aguierrre,
American citizens, will rot in the dun
geons, for they will keep trumping up
charges of imaginary crimes to keep
them in their cells The truth is that
for the dignity of the American gov
eminent, these two subjects ought to
be released, as there is nothing that
can stand cross-examination against
these two unfortunate victims of
Spanish and American red tape. Citi-
zens of the United States, send US a
man to act as consul that will not be
afraid to look at the Spanish captain
generals false face. We are without
protection. Today additional news of
Marti's death caused the hosting of
Cuban flags at half mast
