shot. We are glad to notice that the
course OF the Cubans appears to be hu-
name, and we take this opportunity of
congratu ating them upon the remark

practicable, on being so requested by
competent Cubans, in accordance with
international laws Such action of our
government we deem due to the Cubans
and to the cause of universal liberty.

government have done much to de-
spoilS we respectfully urge our fello Y

deepen, the sympathy of our whole peo

and freedom which are the great high
ways to happiness and prosperity.

also with voice and prayer, to con-
tinue the help to the righteous men who
are brave in fighting for home and active
land We respectfully, but urgently,
appeal to the citizens of all the republics
in the three Americas to give emphatic
expression to their sympathy with the
struggling people who are making fight
for their independence from the Euro
