THE WORLD IN GENERAL
CUBA.

MADRID, October 13.-It is reported
here on the best authority that the
American government has notified the
Spanish minister at Washington that
it is necessary for Spain to act promptly
in crushing the Cuban rebellion. This
news has caused profound sensation
here.
CHICAGO, October 13.-An address
has been sent out by the committee
appointed at the mass meetings held to
express sympathy with the Cubans in
their struggle for independence. The
committee appeals to citizens through
out the union to call similar meetings
not later than October 81, and where
ever practicable to be held on that
day, in order that the movement may
derive benefit from such simultaneous
action in adding to its impressiveness.
Says the committee: May we take
the liberty of suggesting to you that
you call on your mayor and confer with
him as to the desirability of inaug-
urating similar movement? A
number of cities have already done
this, and 1t would seem desirable to
have all thus take part"

NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON

Important Plans Announced for the Winter.
WASHINGTON, October 12.-The win
ter plans of the North Atlantic Squad
ron are important and verr significant
in view of the situation IN Cuba and
the attitude this country has assumed
toward British encroachment in Vene-
zuela The North Atlantic Squadron
is to be greatly strengthened. Trans
fers will be made so as to assemble in
that squadron about all the best YES
vessels in the navy, and instead of
ceasing squadron drill for the winter
it will continue in southern waters.
An impressive demonstration of force
will thus be made, but will be under
the guise of practice drills The eX-
cuse for adding vessels to the squadron
and going into these waters will be
that it is desirable that every one of
the new vessels have practice in squad
ron drill and it is necessary to continue
the practice during the winter. These
evolutions without question are to be
carried on for the purpose of having a
powerful fleet in the vicinity of trouble
if it occurs, and should occasion arise,
as it is feared it may, for something
more than display in the Venezuelan
and Cuban matters The powerful
fleet will be within an hours communi
cation of Washington and at the same
time within twenty-four hours sailing
distance of the probable seat of trouble.
It is also said the secretary coptem-
plates holding the South Pacific Squad
ron in the vicinity of Valparaiso,
where, in case of need, it could be
readily communicated with by cable.

General Roderiquez, of Cuba, in a
letter to President Palma, of the

ammunition to assure the triumph of

Ryderiquez, who is chief of staff for
Gen. Roloff, SAYS: Every day hun
dreds of young men from towns and
villages flock to our ranks, but we
have no arms or ammunition for them,
and though full of zeal and patriotism,
they are unable to aid our cause. We
want arms and ammunition badly, and
had we these, we believe the war
would not last very long, and in a very
short time Cuba would achieve her
independence. 1t is only question of
time in any case. Get the United
States to permit our friends under it's
flag to ship us arms and ammunition.
and, before you realize it, there
will be another free republic in
