rying out the law on the subject. Similar
proolamati0ns have, believe, been here
tofore issued at times OF Cuban insurreo-
tions and az the time the Texans were en-
deayoring TO throw off tho authority of
Mexico one was issued warning oitizons of
the United States from aiding thom.
Senator cali Does Not Like II.
Senator Cali OF Florida sald tho proola-
nation did not intend to accord to the
insurgents the rights Of bolligerents and
undoubtedly did not do SO. 1t would,
however, no said, have no effect IN pre-
venting tho departure Of those who were
willing TO aid the Cuban cause. because it
was utterly impossible to guard the ooast
of the United States, for tho government
had not tho force at hand TO do so.
What, he asked, is to prevent for
eign ship from sailing from any United
States port, ostenslbly for Europe or any
other place, with assistance for the insur
gents, and then transferring its cargo or
sailing from some other port for Cubag
Tho presidents proclamation, said the
senator. was rather stronger than / liked.
I am, he said, IN favor OF the independ-
enoe Of Cuba, for 1t Is a foregone oonolu-
sion that the island will throw off the
Spanish yoke. In my Judgment, II is
wild idea to suppose that tho government
can support the tottoring government Of
Spain"
Tho proclamation Is as follows:
Whereas, The island Of Cuba is now
the seat OF serious civil disturbances, ac-
companied by armed resistance to the au-
thority Of the established government of
Spain, a power with which tho United
States are and desire to remain on terms
OF peace and amity; and
"Whoreas, The laws Of the United States
prohibit their citizens as well as all 9TH
ers being within and subject to their jur-
isdiotion, from taking part in such disturb
anres adversely to such established gov
eminent by accepting or exercising COM
missions for warike service against it, by
enlistment or procuring others to enlist
for such service, by fitting out or procur-
ing to be fitted out armed ships Of war for
such service, BY augmenting the force Of
any ship Of war engaged in such service
and arriving in a port Of the United
States, and by setting on foot or provid.
ing or preparing the means for military
enterprises 70 DO carried on from tho Unit
ed States against the territory Of such
governments
Now, therefore, In recognition Of the
laws aforesaid, and in discharge Of the OBJ
legations Of the United states toward a
friendly power and as a measure Of pre-
caution, and TO the end that oitizens Of the
United States and all others within its
jurisdiction may be dotorred from subject
ing themselves to legal forieitures and
penalties
All Citizens Admonished.
