SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
Resolutions Adopted at Mass Meeting in
 New York

New York, Nov 26.-The cause of Cu-. ba's patriots was the topic at big mass meeting held in the hall of Cooper Union tonight. The platform was drap- ed with the Cuban flag, the flags of the various South American republics and the stars and stripes. The meeting vas under the auspices of the Jose Marti club, composed of Cubans, and a bust of the famous Cuban leader was placed in front of the Cuban flag. Hon. Chas. A. Dana, who was personal friend of Marti, was introduced as chairman and received an ovation.
 He paid a high tribute to Marti and said the freedom of Cuba. was a cause that interested all mankind. MT. Dana declared he did not share the animosity against Spain which many felt, for Spain had inherited the despotic prac- tices and she had also inherited pover- ty But that did not justify tyranny and the wholesale plunder of Cuba with which Spain supplied her needs. Cuba must be free and Spain must be reduced to a system of forced economy.
 Letters of regret from many proni- nent men, including SV ator Chandler, were read. Congressman William Sul- ger of this city then made speech in which he declared that it was the duty of the United States to recognize the Cuban insurgents as belligerents. Rev. Thomas Dixon, Father Ducey, Samuel Gompers and others also made speech es approving the efforts of the Cubans to achieve their independence. The fol- lowing was adopted:
 Resolved, That we extend our sym- pathy to the Cuban people in their struggle for freedom and independence, and we call on the congress and the president Of the United States and re- quest them to grant belIigerent rights to the Cuban republic.

sENAroR LODGE EMPHATIC.
The First Duty is to Send White Squadron Tn TnrISeY.


 Boston, Nov 26.-A dinner. eompli- mentary to Chairman G. H. Lyman of the republican state committee was held tonight at the American house and in spite of the storm the attend amca was large, while great enthusiasm was aroused by the various speakers. Senator Lodge especially Congress man Samuel w. Mccall was the pre- siding officer and toastmaster. Chair man Lyman was the first speaker and was followed by Governor Greenhalge.
 Then Senator Lodge, who has just returned from a trip abroad, was in troduced receiving a, most flattering reception He compllmented Chairman Lyman upon the game fight he had made under stress of physical suffer- ing during the campaign and congnatu- lated Governor Greenhalge upon his reelection. Then he passed to a con- sideration of national topics. The peo- pie of the United States, he said, do not like the Wilson tariff, but it is very popular in England and in Brad ford he had been told their woolen mills had been saved by the Wilson tariff. He had no grudge against Bradford but he preferred that wool- ems should be made in Massachusetts. He did not think it necessary to dis cuss currency questions, as with a re- publican house there is no danger of bad currency legislation. The first duty of the party is to give the United States a. revenue which shall make a surplus and not a deficit.
 Of our foreign policy he said the true foreign policy while of vast con- sequence is very simple. Beyond the limits of the American hemisphere all | American citizen and the American property, wherever it may happen tc be. (Applause) To exact for the Am erican citizen and the American flag the most absolute respect. It is not for us to take part in saying what shall be ! done with Turkey, whether it shall be 1 divided or partitioned or put under 8 protectorate or what. Let them lay g | hand on an American citizen or ar American missionary and whether wt are one of the treaty powers or not consider it ito be the duty, the frs duty of the American government tC send the White Squadron to Constan tinople. (Applause)

Chairman, that is our foreign pol icy and that is the whole of it, outsid the western hemisphere. Inside thu western hemisphere, the speaker said our policy was outlined in the Monro doctrine.

Ready for Her Voyage.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The cruiser Minneapolis is practically ready to start for Smyrna, Asia Minor, to assist in protecting American interests. It was said at the navy department to- day that if the weather cleared tihe Minneapolis would probably begin her voyage tomorrow. She is now at New port News, Va, The comparative quietude now existing in Turkey has caused concern to be given in official circles to the question whether it would be necessary to send the vessel, par- ticularly as the United States already has two cruisers in Turkish waters, but it is understood that the Minne- apolis will go in any event if only to allay apprehension among citizens os this country in Turkey and theig friends at home.

 HIM AT HIS HOTEL.

He Working His Clerk and Stenographery
 Extra Time-About One Hundred Repub-
 lican Members of the Next Congress Arc
 Already at Washington.
 Washington, Nov. 26-If Hon. Thom- as B. Reed had doubts about his unani- nous nomination for speaker by the re- publican caucus next Saturday they would speedily be dispelled by the amount and character of the mail that weighs down the postman whose tour includes the Shoreham hotel. All of the 244 republican members-elect appear to have called on their friends to pre- sent their qualifications for committee is working his clerk and his steno- grapher extra time trying to return simple acknowledgements of the num- erous suggestions. Several hundred oft these letters which anticipate no deci- sive action. have gone out over the country to-day, and the correspondence promises to retain it's present dimen- sions until the complete committee list l is announced sometime before Christi mas.
 l About 100 republican members, most | of them living west of New York, are here and half of them paid their re- spects to Mr. Reed last might. The ex- 1 speaker was cordial, but he confidedl to no one his intentions regarding conn., mittees. This morning he walked up to the capitol and went up to the station cry room and ordered a wholesale sup ply of paper and envelopes. He stayed away from the hotel until dinner, when! he walked back. This evening his re- ception room was uncomfortably crowd- ed until bed time. Congressman Cam non remained a good part of the even- l ing assisting the host in entertaining his visitors.
 Congressman Henderson of Dubuque. Ia, did not call but the knowing ones were certain he would be the next chairman of the appropriations commits tee, and Cannon would have to be so- laced with something else "as good" x
 Congressman Serene Payn and Dal- Zell of Pittsburg, both warmly endorsed .by protectionists throughout the coun-
 try, for the ways and means chairman-
 ship, have visited MT. Reed, but have
 not secured any intelligence as to tkeir lchances. It is said Mr. Reed is al- |ready working away at his principal
 committees.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Next week will be a great week for our musical world. Paderewski's re- cttal comes on Tuesday afternoon fol- lowed by the first symphony concert on Thursday afternoon. Tha sale of seats for the series is progressing stead fly at Steinert's and those who have neglected to buy their tickets should make haste to do so. There have been more seats sold than Alumni hall con- tains, so 1t is fortunate that the college has obtained the College street church property since the auditorium there will hold "a. great many more on the main floor than the former, to say nothing of the extra gallery room. These gallery seats are very nice for musical affairs and people seem to prefer them to the others. At the Marsick concert there was difficulty about seeing the performers, because they stood so low. Another time they would use the pulpit platform and then there would be no trouble. For the symphony concert the platform will have to be considerably enlarged and will necessitate the removal of a few of the side seats. The orchestra are working very hard under Professor Parker's direction and the men will un- doubtedly do credit to themselves and their conductor. The directors of the society are quite pleased with the sue cessful progress of the organization and they feel confident that the af- fair is to be a permanent feature. The seats are sold for the course for s an6 there are to be four concerts.

Will be Well Laid Out.

Washington, Nov. 26-That the Mica necessary to enlarge the estimate cost of building the canal has not changed Senator Morgan's views. He to-day said: Should the canal cost the people three hundred millions it would be money well laid out, and even upon a Oasis Of such an expenditure the in- vestment would bring us a handsome profit in the shape of reductions in tolls and the fostering of our commerce on the seas. The canal should be con structed under the protecting wing of the United States and its cost should be a secondary consideration.

Yamagata Will Supersede Ito in
Foreign Affairs.

The Greater Portion of the Iapnuesc
Army win Return From China
This Month.

San Francisco, June 1.-The steamer
Belgic arrived today bringing the fol-
lowing advices:
Toxic, May 25.-The popular expecta-
ton of ministerial changes in Japan
grows stronger every day. Although
nothing has yet happened to prove that
Count Ito contemplates immediate re-
tirement, his early disappearance from
the political stage is regarded as GER
tainty, and the attention of the official
class is chiefly directed to questions
bearing on the succession. Reports are
received from Kioto that Count Yama-
gaia will be requested TO form o. cabi-
net, and that the position now held by
Viscount Matsu will be rendered to Wis
count AoH, the present envoy to Ger
many, or to Count OKuma. AS regards
the heads of other departments, no Gu
riosity is displayed. Everyone feels
that the interests Of the nation will for
some time mainly depend upon the
management Of foreign affairs, and that
the selection of a competent minister
for this branch of the administration is
of first Importance.
The emperor's return to Toxic is ex-
pected before the end of May. The cab
met ministers now absent will accom-
pany him. Until they are back in the
capital, no decisive movement will be
made in any direction.
The greater part of the Japanese ar
my will return from China early in
June. Portions of the Second and
Fourth grand divisions will remain on
the Lao Tung peninsula for garrison
service, and a brigade of the Sixth di-
vision will occupy Liu Kung island in
Wei-Hai-Wei harbor. These troops are
to retain the positions specified until
China shall fulfill the conditions of the
treaty.

Hawaiians Who Believe That Is
the Only Hope.
SOME R0YALISTS AMONG THEM
Contemplates the Prospect
Of Acquisition.

Omaha, Neb., June 2.-Major Morti-
mer Higley of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. is
her en- route from Hawaii. Higley is
an intimate friend nf President Dole
and has been in the republic some time,
and asserts that the life of the pres
ent administration is limited unless
some of the powers come to it's rescue.
He says:
'They have a thoroughly organized
republic, but the more intelligent class
realizes that it is a provisional one,
necessarily. Sentiment in favor of an
nexation is strong. Inc most kindly
feelings are cherished toward the
United States among the natives as
we'll as the rest of the population.
II predict that if the United States
does not annex the islands Japan Will.
You know what the effect of the late
war was on Japan. 1t made her jubi-
liant and self-confident She has 49, GOO
citizens Ia the islands who have set
tied there. Besides, the Japanese are
restless under the Hawaiian govern
ment because the government does not
allow Orientals to participate in public
affairs. The balance of the population.
however, is allowed to vote, with some
property and educational limits. Pres
ident Dole told me he was in favor Of
annexation in order to give the repub-
lie the support of a strong power, and
many of the most prominent royalists
are also, including Cummings, the lead
er of the rebellion, who is now under
$4,000 bonds, and the English guardian
of Princess Kaiulani, who has express
ed himself to the effect that annexation
is the only salvation for the islands.
In the United States we have many
Hawaiian exiles. They are unanimous
ly in favor of annexation, as it would
result in the restoration of their rights. "
