Cuban refugees and their friends were
permitted 70 hold a public meeting in
New York in which sympathy was OPEN

IL does not appear that anything In vio-
lation OF the neutrality Of our govern
ment was done, or hat the meeting was
more h similar gatherings sympa-
thizing with home rule in ireland or
Hebrew protection in Russia.
England understands better than
Spain what free speech in this
country, and the indignant protests That
Spanish papers are now making would
never be made by Great Britain In a
similar case. 1t nay not be in good
taste for American citizens TO meet pub
licly and denounce a government with
which our own is at peace. but 50 long
as no overt act Is committed that vio-
lates the good faith Of the government
there IL nothing for which the govern
ment can be called 10 account.
So far the United States government
has meinta med a strict neutrality In
Cuban affairs, as il was bound 70 do in
good faith. but when Spain asks the
government TO stop Cuban sympathiZ-
ers from talking or holding public meet
ings il asks the government 10 do some
thing IL a no authority 70 do. and also
10 undertake as big a job as putting
down the insurrection in Cuba.

New York Child Of Eighteen Months

Bertha Wurr, the 1S-months- old
daughter of August Wurr, who livs
In the rear house at A Morton street,
says the New York Sun, was bitten on
the arm by mosquito on Thursday Of
last week. The bite made the child
restless and she scratched II contin.
ually. The next day the arm awelled
until it was twice the normal size,
and the child became very ILL., DR..
Cole. of the Northwestern diSpensary,
who was called in, found Bertha in
great pain and suffering from a high
fever.
The child also had great difficulty in
breathing He prescribed for her, but,
in spite Of his care. the little girl died
on Monday. AS the case was a pecu-
liar one it was reported at the COZ
oner's office, and yesterday Deputy
Coroner Huber made an investigation.
After describing the symptoms Dir.
Cole said he thought the chi!d's death
was caused by the mosquito bite. Or.
Huber gave a certificate that death
was due to cellulitis which is an in
tlammation Of the tissue Immediately
beneath the skin.
