New York. Dec. 17.-Colonel Ethan
Allen. president of the Cuban League
of the United States. which was or
ganized the other evening by a num-
Der of prominent New Workers at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. issued an address
TO the public today. in which he sets
forth the principles and purposes of
the organization. The address after
reviewing the struggle in Cuba from
ITS inception TO the present time, says:
We are charged before the world
with lmootency in not protecting our
own citizens against Spanish violence
on the Cuban soil. and in hushinE our
Indignation at unnumbered oruelties in
CUBA while millions of American cap
ital there invested is gradually diSaD-
pearins. which would be saved by the
Intervention of this government
Fellow citizens. il is due TO our
selves. as well as to Cuba, that this
record should be reversed. This has
not been our record hitherto and we
are persuaded will not remain so now,
when an appeal is made to the human
ity, as we'll as to the material interests
of our people. We do not propose, nor
is 1t necessary. to violate our
laws But if the laws stand in the
way. then change the laws.
We, the people, are the source of
power. and NAV dictate what the law
shall be and, therefore. cannot shield
ourselves behind statutory phraseol-
ogy from the odium of not fulfilling our
natural obligations toward a people
struggling to be free.
Let US SO speak that the executive
of this nation and our representatives
in congress shall recognize Cuban indie
pendence. and all will be well. We are
not required to raise battalions of men.
nor to furnish ships of war; but we
are called upon to declare that the
heart of this nation is with the op-
pressed Cubans, and then. with her in
dependence acknowledged, her I'M
armed heroes NAV obtain from us as
required. the equipments of war. as
Spain has done heretofore. and thus
we clear the way for final victory

THE GIRLS REJOICED.
They Were En- Route Home to Have
Their Hosiery Filled.

Newport, r. l., Dec. 1T.-Yesterday was
a day of rejoicing IN Wellesley college,
the leading female college in America.
1t was the day set for the commence
ment of the Christmas holidays.
There was a terrible blizzard at Welles-
ley, but the students, 800 or more, had
their hearts set upon seeing their friends
at home and partaking of the festivities
of Christmas. Snow ploughs were at
tached 10 the trains at the Wellesley
station on the Boston & Albany railroad
bearing the jolly Wellesley girls from
their alma mater. Although low spirited
on account of the terrible storm they
sang their college songs and tried TO be
merry.
Upon arriving at Fall River where they
boarded the steamer for New York they
were told that the storm might prevent
the boat from venturing out. This an
nouncement did not prevent the 200 or
more girls from reverting to a repetition
OF the college songs that they sung when
they left Wellesley, and these songs they
sang with will. The boat arrived at
Newport at midnight the storm having
abated sufficiently to warrant her de-
parture from Fall River for Newport.
The girls upon arriving at Newport were
as jolly as ever but as the storm was
abating and being assured that the
steamer would start for New York before
daylight. they reluctantly repaired to
their staterooms. =
The steamer remained here until all
danger had passed, and at 1886 left for
New York

Cabinet.

New York, Dec. IA Sun special
from Montgomery. Ala, says.
Booker t. Washington, the negro
principal of the State Normal and In

kegee, is being vigorously pushed nv
his negro friends in Georgia and Ala
bama for a place in Mr. McKinIey's
CABINET Mr. Washington has been in

the purpose of raising funds for the
betterment of his school. A.press dis
patch Tuesday brought the news that
he had raised some S3O, 900 in Boston
1t is limited, however, that.while he is
putting in some good work for the
school, he is also looking over the field
and investigating his chances for a.
cabinet place.
The white people here who know
Washington best are very confident
that he has no aspira tions to a cabinet
portfolio. They believe the scheme
has been gotten up without his knoyvI-
edge or consent. and that he will dis
courage it upon his return to Ala
bama. Referring to the matter the
Tuscaloosa Chronicle. the negro organ
OF the state. has this to- say:

$4,000. to be given by Dan Stuart The
place for the battle is TO be announced
before February II. Stuart is to post
forfeit of $1,000 in the hands of Rich
ard K. Fox or AL Smith, and Corbett
and Fitzsimmons must each post $1,000
as guarantee of good faith. George
Siler of Chicago is named as referee
Corbett signed the articles before he
noticed that they reserved all privilege
for Stuart, and he became somewhat
excited when he thought of the kineto-
scope privileges. After some reflection
he finally said: Il would not change
the articles for $1,000 600. but If 1 find
out Julian or Fitzsimmons get anv
share of the privileges money 1 will
kick for my share
Corbett also said that he would like
to have an additional clause inserted
calling for a $4,000 side bet. in order
that he might put himself right before
the public on Fitzsimmons statements,
but he stated that as fas as he was
concerned himself, he was ready to
fight the Australian for a dime or for
nothing.
Fitzsimmons was not represented at
the meeting
