been offered the use of TIE city hall for
their mass meetings.
Ex-Assem blyman TumuIty of this city
is one of the foremost sympathizers of
the Cubans. He has great financial inter-
ests in the island, and is we'll aqualnted
with the country. To a reporter the ax-
assemblyman said:
1.-THE natives of the island are more
oppressed than we're our forefathers un-
der the tyranny of Great Britain. Why,
even in times of peace the collectors who
are sent from Spain to extort additional
taxes from the already over buydened peo.
pie may take possession of Cuban's
house and make it their headquarters.
Even the wives and daughters of these
so-Called insurgents are not safe in the
presence of the Spaish mobiles and hidal-
goes. In Cuba there is absolutely no
punishment for Spaniard. He may do
what he likes.
Here. almost within a stones throw
of us, fguratively speaking, are weak
people, downtrcdden under the heel of a
rotten, tottering monarchy, few in num-
bers, 1T is true, but brave as lions TO, all
that.

rather see it burned thousand times
than furnish an ounce of food for Span

According to Mr.. Tumulty, m ovement
has been started to form stock con, pany
to have for its object the fitting out of
Cuban waters. Another object of this
company will be to furnish Cuban pat
riots with arms and ammunition. Mr..
Tumulty thinks congress will take some
action in the Cuban matter when it
meets. Already. he says. members in
the western states are being instructed to
secure the passage of measures Of relief
for the patriots.
Reports from Cuba. he said. ARE

impossible to Judge exactly of the true

In his opinion the patriots are making
good headway.
