The suspicious telegram proved TO be a communi

Hong Kong and one in Canton. The packages sent
proved to be FIVE barrels Of pistols and ammunition
labelled "celneut.'

in part:
The Turk is old offender but is it not the
religion of Mahomet which causes the trouble in

Mahometan to make the Christian the victim of
his hatred. In all the history Of the Roman En-

Emperor of Germany and the Car of Russia want
reform. bu; the Sultan is oppressive

let us earnestly hope she will succeed"
After the speaking a large number Of contrlbu-

the begcrency OF Cuba will soon follow the Presl-
dents Message, and think that action Will be fol-
lowed later by the formal recognition OF her indie
pendence." was the confident expression OF Don NJ.
Dickinson last evening. while speaking of the senti-
ment expressed by President Cleveland in the few
paragraphs OF his message devoted to the situation
in the reboous and down-trodden island. Mr..
Dickinson is of the opinion that the President said
all he cgitimately could say about Cuba In his mes
sage.
'It would have beer out OF place for him to make
anv recommendation to Congress In the matter, -
continued Mr. Dickinson. but his strong words
easily express his feeling for Cuba. He practically
SAYS cuba is in Il state of bcgerency. and has led
the English journals to say that his sentiment IL a
clear encouragemcnt to iilibustering He speaks OF
.Drcveutng the territory of the United States from
being abused as a vantage ground from which TO aid
those in arms against Spanish sovereignty That
commits him to the opinion of belligercncy. The
message goes to speak Of an insurrcctOn in some
respects more active than the last preceding re-
volt Besides these. he uses several other express
sions any one Of which shows a condition existing
which would. under international law, be regarded
as sufficient ground for formal action In the way OF
a recognition of bellieerency.'
In conclusion, Mr.. Dickinson said: II sure
that Cuba is destined to gain her freedom, and
think American sentiment should be directed tow

TON of Washington. is president. TO undertake
relief work in Turkey as an international or

II Is believed that this humane organization
being international in its character. is the only
one which can successfully administer Americas
relief contributions in Turkey a relief ship
under its auspices would be allowed to enter
where the fears Of the Turkish Government
would allow no European warship. While the
Red Cross treaty, in itself recognizes only relief
in war Vet America in making up It's own ma
tional body asked the power TO work in great
national and international calamites the same
as in war and the privilege was given her to do
90. Thus America has the right TO act in such
q state Of things as now exists in Turkey. ana
European countries may. = they Wlsh. distribute
their relief through the United States Red cross
organization.
The fact that Turkey belongs to the Red Cross
organization will favor its relief Work IN me
