SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
Chicago Mass Meetings Adopt Radical
Resolutions.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-THE first protest
of free-born Americans against Spanish
tyranny in Cuba was heard in Chicago
last night. 1t was as fervid and as de-
faint as if it had been voiced by men
and women who had suffered personally
the wrongs that have kept Cuba in
state of ferment for a century. There
speeches delivered at the two monster
mass meetings. They differed widely
as to the proper course of this govern
ment. But whether the speaker dwelt
upon the necessity of conforming to in
Jernational law, as Mr.. Bryan did, or
whether like Mr.. Hynes and Mr.. Ma
son, he spoke out squarely for Cuban in
dependence, the undertone was the same.
The meetings cried for freedom, and it
was noticeable that no sentiment was
received with greater applause than Gov.
Altgeld's blunt declaration in telegram
to the chairman that Cuba should be
annexed to the United States.

expense is for safety only, and will not
