Enthusiastic Cuban Meeting Held In
New York

Jacksonvill, Fla, April 5.--The war
spirit rose very high at an enthusias-

half Of the Cuban cause Many prom
inent Cubans and their sympa thisers
were present. GonZalo de Quesada
secretary Of the Cuban Revolutionary
Society Of New York said "If this
struggle fails II will be the fault Of
you Americans: for why did you teach
us the lesson Of liberty. If We do
not succeed yours will be the great
crime Of not having given succor The
Americans will not fail US. From
every hand comes aid Dollars are
pouring In and with these dollars
rifles and bullets are being bought.
The American public opinion is saying
Let Cuba in her fight have fair play:

pJ RE POLITICS.
Corrupt Practices Being Aired ID the
Chicago Election.

Chicago. April 5.-The Post prints
a sensational story regarding the dis
appearance of 100000 in democratic
campaign funds. The Post states
that the managers of the recent city
campaign in which Wenter, the dem
ocratic nominee was defeated, charge
his defeat 10 lack Of necessary funds
and also charge that an enormous sum
has been appropriated by five or six
men high in the democratic political
circles of the city. The fund, the
Post says. was raised by the ASSESS
ment Of city hall employees and others
and amounted to about 100000. Wen
ter makes claim 70 have positive
proof that Tie fund existed prior 70
the last election but they say that
they were unable 70 get any Of II for
campaign expenses. Reputable men
Of the democratic party are said to
have become 50 thoroughly aroused
over the affair that they will endeasor
to secure an investigation and promise
startling developments.
