Fort Worth Gazette: ga call
has been issued for public meet

the 31st OF October, to express
sympathy with the war for Cuban
independence. Texas, which is
separated from Cuba only by a
narrow stretch of water, should
take an earnest and active part
in this movement. We suggest
that Cuban sympathizers in every
city and town in Texas should
publish this call and endorse it by
their presence and outspoken ut

in vigorous moral sentiment in
the United States to free Cuba
from the medieval and disastrous
rule of Spain"

humanities Of the Sepoy war arose
from an idea on the part OF the
native Indian soldiery that they
were being betrayed into desecra,
tion Of their religion by the Brit,
ish officers, hence the revolt, and
fanaticism of religion was added
to the natural savagery of a dis
position aroused to the fiercest
hate. The same is true of the pres
ent massacres in China. Those
people are exclusive. They only
opened their posts to commerce
upon compulsion. In the effort
to convert them to Christianity
they see only an unwarranted
movement to subjugate them to
foreign domination and compel
them to accept ideas that are to
them horribly repugnant. 1t is
not because the Chinese are SO
bloodthirsty that these inhumani.
ties have been committed, but
because they have been stirred uE
to the hottest pitch of passion
and hate OF their invaders.
