yesterday decided to purchase the English
transport steamer Prince of Wales in
order to expedite the transportation of
troops to Manila, and it was also decided
to purchase a complete equipment of
rifles for the troops.
Additional advices from Manila say that
the natives of the island Of Mindanao
have revolted and the insurgents have
been joined by numbers of deserters from
the native troops. The insurgents, who
are numerous around Manila, are becom-
ing very bold, often approaching near
enough to the town to fire Iuto it.
The situation is admitted to be very
grave at Manila and is equally bad at
Cavite, where $50 prisoners revolted,
killed six soldiers, seized quantity of
arms and tried to incite the native inhab-
itants to attack the garrison. The revolt
ers were frustrated, however. and the gar
rison shot the rebels down in the streets.
During the night there was general mas
sacre of rebels and on the following morn
ing many of the revolving prisoners were
recaptured and shot.

BOSTON, MASS, Dec. 15.-Eighty-five
men, strong fellows. intelligent and well
up in military drilling, have left Boston
bound for Cuba, where they will fight in
the army of the insurgents. They were
in command of Louis Marshall OF East
Boston. who has seen service in actual
warfare. He was corporal in tbss Union
army during the Rebellion. Since the
outbreak OF the war in Cuba his sympa-
thies have been with the insurgents and
he has in many ways, assisted them ma
terially.
The men volunteered their services to
the cause over month ago and since that
time they have been drilling persistently
each day and anxiously awaiting the time
for their departure. They received no
promises in the way of a return for their
services from the Cuban Junta in this city,
but they persisted in their requests to be
enlisted as volunteers and said they were
willing to die if necessary for the cause OF
Cuba. They then paid their own expenses
and when they boarded the cars last even
ing each man carried in his pocket the
latest revised military manual of military
tactics and enough money to purchase
supplies for many days.
They will buy their own rifles and side
arms. if necessary, before they sail. Their
commander. Marshall, will be given a
captains commission in the insurgent
army when they arrive at Cuba. When
they arrive in New York the men will be
marched to one of The suburbs, where they
will be drilled with other recruits for a
few days, after which they will all EN- bark
for the seat of war.

J. II. Seward & Co. of this city, which is
threatened with violence if she attempts
to enter the port of Valencia, Spain. be-
cause she is alleged to have been engaged
in fiibustering operations some time ago,
promises to develop an international con-

R. A Tucker of Seward & Co. went to
Washington to-day to see Secretary Olney
and supplement letter he sent to the
Secretary last night by a personal appeal
for protection for the steamer. In his
letter TO the Secretary Mr.. Tucker ex-
planned his firms connection with the
Laurada, and stated that she had been or

mission and not to create disturbance.

CuDans? What we should do at once is to
petition Congress to act.
Every citizen should forward his earnest
protest against such outrages as have been
committed there by Spain, as well as to show
Congress that the people of this country are
ready to uphold them in any action they may
take.
The American friends OF Cuba appeal TO
you in this matter and urge every citizen to
do his duty and join with us in our petition to
Congress that these outrages may cease at
once. FRANZ MAYER, President.
