BOUND TO 60 TO CUBA,
Meeting of the Irish Volunteer Erec,
tire COmmfttee.

Meeting of the Irish Volunteer Erecu-
tice Committee.
The company of patriotic Irishmen or
ganized last Monday night for the purpose
of fighting in Cuba's cause is bound to go
to the Spanish island.
These proceedings so far have been car
ried on with secrecy. 1t was deemed ad-
visable by Captain P. T. Robinson and
other members of the company to keep
their plans from the public until they
were perfected.
The company has been in correspond
ence with similar companies in New York,
Delaware, New Jersey and other States in
the East for some time, and at the meet
ing last night number of letters from
the East were read. Though the execu-
tive committee held a secret session,
enough was learned to verify the inten-
tions of the company to go to Cuba at the
first opportunity offered.
They are bound to go to Cuba. The
principal question at present is relative to
funds. 1t is understood that plenty of
money is back of the organization, but
everything is contingent on the action
taken by the military clubs of the East.
AAO iOblCiS 1IOlu hOCnSSIeT,
n. Y, and cities in New Jersey
and Delaware were of an enthusiastic
character. There was patriotic ardor
in every line, and each sentence was an
urgent appeal for heart-and-soul co-opera-
ton. The reading of the letters aroused
great enthusiasm, and if Cuba had been
on the other side of the street and an
arsenal conveniently located in the hall,
the Spanish forces would have been
whipped on the spot.
Captain Robinson said: "We intend to
strike a blow that will be felt If the
patriotic Irishmen are in earnest in their
declarations let them prove it when there
is chance. Here is country that is
struggling for independence and freedom,
the same as our own dear land, and if they
are in earnest let them prove it and show
England what there is in them"
There was great enthusiasm manifested
among the members of the executive com
mlttee, and it is generally understood
among the members of the company that
the start will be made for Cuba as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be made.
+. b. Lorrigan, the lieutenant, and officers
Parker and Cody are capable organizers
and have proved of valuable assistance TO
Captain Robinson. They are anxious to
fight and their talk sounds like the click of
musket lock.

politely but firmly declined to-day to dis.
cuss it. He said he had no information
with reference to Great Britain's action.
and refused to discuss its effect either in
its relation to Brazil or to this country.
There is, however. presumptive proof that
the report is true, and if this be so Great
Britain's action will create greater ex-
element in Brazil than has existed there
for years.
There is the strongest documentary evil
dence that Brazil's claim to Trinidad is
unassailable.
Should any difficulty arise between the
two countries it is not thought that the
United States will become involved. Bra
zil, it is believed, is competent to manage
her own affairs without the assistance of
this country.

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 22.-Secretarv of
State Olney returned to his home to-day.
His visit is on private business, and he
will leave for Washington tomorrow and
will visit the Atlanta Exposition. When
seen by THE CALL correspondent tonight
he stated that it was impossible to give ont
anything new on the two vital questions of
the day-that of the Cuban rebellion and
the Venezuela difficulty. In regard to the
former he said:
81 am frightened that there are too
many people who wish to be hastv. OF
course there is a state of war in Cuba. but
it Is something which the United States
should leave entirely alone until proper
time shall come, when, if in the bounds
of propriety in regard to the neutrality
laws she may do so she can recognize the
rights of the Cubans as belligerents. I'm
til that time, 1t would be only effecting an
untimely insult to friendly power.
In regard to the Venezuelan question
there is nothing to give out, as the official
correspondence is naturally withheld.

am perfectly sure that all will be settled
amlcably. Matters are now at standstill
until thorough investigation is made.

This being the case, THE CALL is in favor
OF making vigoro 8 efsoss . secure tho
holding of the Republican National Con-a
vention in this City in July. 1896. We
should be glad to have the Union League
and other Republican clubs of this City un-

will cost money, and in order to defray the
expense THE CALL promises to bear due
share of the expenditures for preliminary
canvass and arrangements, and, in addi-
ton to that, if the Republican National

COMING OUR WAY.

lfrom "The CALI of February 10, 1896 ]
1t Is evident that the proposal of The
CALL to make a serious effort to bring the
next Republican National Convention to
this City will find plenty of support both
here and in the East. The telegram from
General Clarkson and the interviews with
leading men in this City make that mani
fest beyond a doubt. Let an energetic
committee be put in charge of the work
and the task will be half accomplished.
That is the first step to be taken, and it
should be taken at once.
While the earnest support promised by
our own citizens is encouraging the tele.
gram is particularly so. In him we have
not only an Eastern ally, but an ally in a
position to be of great service to us in the

contest. 1t is pleasing, therefore, to find
that he is so heartily in accord with the
proposition, and to learn from him that
there has been much favora BILE talk among
the members of the National Committee in
regard to holding the convention here.
With this full expression of public senti-
ment in favor of the proposal it ought not
to be difficult to get the work started with
the right men in charge of it. The first
step to be taken is organization, so that
the matter can be laid before the country
as definite proposition. General Clark
son says: ''1f arrangements can be made
l think that discussion of it in the public
press would show the proposition to be so
popular that the National Committee at
its next meeting in November or Decem-
Der would respond to the popular will and
choose San Francisco as the seat for the
convention This practically outlines
the course for US to pursue. We must
make arrangements early for low fares and
quick special trains, and then enter at
once upon the campaign of education.
1t will be clearly perceived from all this
that the outlook is bright and all pros
poets are favorable to the enterprise. Men
of ability and influence stand ready to
support it with money and energy; and,
as we stated yesterday, THE CALL is will
ing to contribute to the sum required tor
the preliminary canvass, and also $4,000
toward defraying the cost if the conven-
ton comes here. Equally liberal contri-
buttons will come from other quarters
when necessary.

WILL ARREST HIS WIFE.
London Manufacturer after Some
Stolen MoneH.

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 22.-Fontana Bes-
son, musical instrument manufacturer
of this city, New York, Paris and St.
Petersburg, has obtained warrant for the
arrest of his wife, who is now in Seville,
Spain, on the charge of stealing $1,000 from
him. Mrs. Besson left London last Au-
gust, taking her daughter and the money
with her. An English detective has gone
to Seville to arrest her, when proceed ngs
for her extradition will be taken. 1t is
understood she denies having stolen the
money, claiming that the manufacturing
business conducted under the firm name
OF F. Besson & Co. is really hers, and that
the money is the proceeds of that business

It's largely a matter of health. The
bloom and glow of health go far toward
bringing beauty. A clear skin, bright
eyes, red lips and the vivacity which
bodily good feeling brings, will make

AnAb.urd,. r,umor.

Some foolish European mind has con-
celved the Idea Of an alliance Of Great
Britain, France, Spain and Holland to
protect their American possessions
against the United States. We have no
sort OF designs on anything owned by
any Of them. Cuba excepted. This they
all know. Cuba comes very close TO U.S.,
and some dry VIC mny admit her to the
