| WANT CUBAN REBELS RECOGNIZED.
! ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-The Baptist Asso-
! citation of this city recently passed resolu-
tious favorlng the recognition OF the
/ Cuban rebels by the United States Gov
ernment Since then many of the lead
ing clergymen OF the city have taken the
same stand. An evening paper prints
the following opinions on the subject:
Rev. John Snyder of the Church Of the
| Messiah: Cuba is ground down by an
outrageous system of taxation and op-
preston. and L think that the people OF
| the United States should employ their
full power of moral suasion 10 have our
| Government interfere in her behalf. Our
time honored policy is non-interference,
| but the time may come, and that in the
near future, when the United States
must say to the bully, Stop; go no fur
therp A repetition oI the ten-years' war
must not be permitted. People in this
country have no idea Of the extent of tie
Spanish exactions. Cubans hold no
places of trust Even the policemen and
! the letter-carriers are inporl led from
| Spain. The Cubans have shown them
selves to be of superior merit in every
thing they undertake. They have uni
versity older than Harvard, and their
island nome. in its fertility, its size and
it's location, has all the marks or a ma
ton"
Rev. James f. Lee. pastor of ST. Johns
Southern Methodist Church: "rhey are
taxed and harrassed beyond endurance,
and they deserve not only the moral sup
port OF the American people but the
active assistance of the United States
Government. Cuba has been crushed
and oppressed until forbearance not only
ceased to be virtue. but became actual
cowardice."
Rev. Dr. 8. J. Nichols, Second Presby-
terian Church: III it be true that the
majority OF the Cuban people want free
dom, then as soon as they make a display
of strength they should be recognized as
a bellgerent nation by the United
States"
