From Committing Further Assassina
tions."
Cooper Union was packed to the doors,
while the meeting was called to order by
its president, Ethan Allen, descendant of
the general of the same name of revolu-
tionary fame. Mr.. Allen said;
''This immense and enthusiastic audi
ence is proof that the heart of our citizens
still throbs in harmony for any people
struggling to be free. Further than this,
it is proof that the American people do
not breathe the air of towards, although
some of the Government may. We are
assembled tonight to uphold in other
lands the cause for which Washington
and his compatriots contended in this.
If we are not willing to make sacrifices to
extend the heritage of liberty bequeathed
to us from the storms of battle, we are un-
worthy to hold and enjoy it ourselves.
Cuba is now for the second time in the
death grapple with her savage foe. She
is determined to be free, and we are here
to- night to say she shall. The curse of
Spanish rule is no longer to be tolerated.
1t is the government that admits of no re-
ciprocity between the King and subject;
one plays the part of tyrant and all the
rest are slaves. Our people revolt against
this wherever it may exist, and especially
when SO near our own shores.
'Spain by her revolving cruelties has
forfeited the good opinion of mankind
and is no longer to be regarded as factor
among civilized nations.
''We assemble here tonight as Ameri-
cans to declare that the independence of
Cuba shall be recognized now. To delay
is to make ourselves responsible for the
further ruin and slaughter when will fol-
low.- Cuba has resolved upon freedom or
determination, and, applauding her heroic
energy, it is our duty to stay the assassin's
hand. With Spain we have tried argu-
ment long enough. She is not enabled to
reason, so we must resort to some other
force. Tue time has come to stop our
talking and to load our guns. We are
animated with the hope that a brighter
day is to dawn upon these struggling
heroes of the Antilles.
"The Cuban League, which is here in
augurated, will labor on till from the
Mount Sinai of our own invincible repub-
licanism we may thunder our command
SO that Spain shall hear, and hearing
shall obey, Let those Cubans go.'
General Bradley T. Johnson, the next
speaker, criticized the attitude of Presi-
dent Cleveland.
Secretary DIR. de Sayas read letters from
Senators Henry Cabot Lodge, John Cor.
don, Wilkinson Call R. @. Mills, Cullom,
Thomas Dixon Jr. and Governor Morton.
All regretted their inability to be present
and speak for Cuba's cause.
In most part the letters roundIy con-
demned the butchery being conducted by
the Spanish soldiers under Weyler.
Secretary de Sayas read number of let
ters from prominent people giving fnan-
cial aid TO the cause. Among them was
one from w. E. d. Stokes donating $1,000.
Mr.. Stokes spoke briefly, declaring that
our representative in Washington, Olney,

has become manifest and that it is dem
onstrated that her sovereignty is extinct
in Cuba for all purposes of its rightful ex-
istence; and although the President seems
to have a different conception from ours
we believe this to be the actual situation
in Cuba
The regular organization of an insur-
gent government, the introduction of a
constitution and election of President are
alluded to; then military force Sufficient
to battle the exertions of 100000 Spanish
soldiers and the.r civil administration is
given consideration, and the mittee
says: rThe only question that properly
remains for Congress to consider is the
mode which should be adopted for the
step which Congress is pledged next to
take. The Government has none but
friendly feelings for Spain, and there is
no friendly offers which Spain could ask
which the United States within the limits
of their established principles and policy
would not be glad to extend. In the pres
ent instance they are actuated by an
earnest wish to avoid the danger OF seem
ing to provoke conflict"
The report ends with recommending
the joint resolution recognizing the inde-
pendence of Cuba and the offering of
friendly offices to Spain in order to bring
the war to close.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 21.-Sen-
ators Mills of Texas and Morgan of Ala
bama of the Foreign Relations Committee
join in making an additional report on
the Cameron resolution. While they give
the majority report their unqualified ap-
proval, concurring in all that is said in
that report, they deem it well to present
some additional reasons for agreeing to it
and for the passage of the resolution.
They quote the report of the Com mittee
on Foreign Relations in 1859 when that
committee was considering the Senate bill
making appropriations to facilitate the
acquisition of Cuba by negotiations, and
make this comment on that reports:
"That report covers period of fifty mine
years and sets forth the political condi-
tions and the disastrous effects of Spanish
rule during that time. They are the same
in their leading characteristics that .ex-
listed at the beginning of the insurrection
that was set on foot by the native popula-
tion in 1868 in the outbreak at Yarra.
which was followed by ten years of inter-
necine warfare attended with horrible
butcheries. The causes that provoked the
uprising OF the native Cubans are the
same that are stated in the report of the
COMMITTEES made ten years previously, in
1858"
The sum ming up of that reportis quoted
as follows: There can be no doubt that
an immense majority of the people OF
Cuba are not only in favor of but ardently
desire annexation TO the United States.
1t would be strange indeed if they were
not so, deprived of all influence even in
the local affairs of the island, unrepre-
sc nted in the Cortes. governed by sue
cessive hordes of hungry. officials sent
from the mother country to acquire
fortunes to be enjoyed at home, having
no sympathy with the people, among
whom they are mere sojourners and upon
whom they look as interiors, liable to be
arrested at any moment on the most
trifing charges; tried by military courts
or submissive justices, removable at
pleasure; punished at the discretion OF
the Captain would be less
than men if they were contented with
their yoke. Spain is country of coup
d. etat and pronunciamento. The alI-pow-
erfui Minister of War of to-day may be a
fugitive tomorrow. With the forms of q
representative government, it is in fact a
despotism sustained by the bayonet. a
depotism tempered only by frequent, vio-
lent and bloody revolutions. Her financial
condition is one of extreme embarrass-
ment."
Senators Morgan and Mills continue
"Spain is not the mother country OF
Cuba, even in the sense of having sup
piled that island with large part OF the
ancestors OF the present population. she
is cruel stepmother whose introduction
into the Cuban family has been the i'm

State. All the papers are uniform in their
statements of the wrongs and grievances
of the Cuban people and of the wrongful
and tyrannical cause of Spain toward
them. In none of them is any bad pur-
pose imputed. No one has contradicred
these statements or any material part of
them on the authority of the Spanish
Government or upon any official or other
credible authority
''Fhe tenor of the message of the Presi-
dent to this session of Congress is re-
affirmation of all this history, stated in all
these papers. In the part of the message
relating to Cuba he mas laid them before
Congress without any special recommend
alton and has left to Congress the duty OF
making provision for the security of the
rights, the property and the lives of our
citizens residing In Cuba and of enforcing
the right of indemnity on behalf of the
legal successors of those who have been
killed there. He has intimated that delay
is the wisest policy but he has refrained
from saying that delay is required by our
National honor or by the interests of hu-
manity. A com parison of this message
will show that 1t agrees with the state
ments of every President who has alluded
to the subject, and it further shows that
the same spirit of tyrannical domination
now prevails in Cuba that has kept the
people of that island in despairing servi-
tude during the entire century.
''The message of Mr.. Cleveland, who has
no aversion to Spanish rule in Cuba, con-
firms in all i'm portant statements the truth
of the charges made and communicated by
Estrada Palma against Spain in the expo
sition of the case of Cuba, which he pre-
sented to our Secretary of State. The only
difference in the situation in Cuba and as
it is described IN the report of the Senate
committee in 1859 and as it is described in
the Presidents message in 1896 -thirty-six
years later-is that as time has progressed
the wrongs of Cuba have been aggravated
and the means of repression employed by
Spain have grown into war against hu-
manity. q war of determination of the ma
tive population. If the firm purpose of
our predecessors to put an end to this con-
dition of affairs in Cuba in the compare
lively mild form of ty ranny that existed
fifty years ago has degenerated into
doubts and misgiving as to our duty to our
own people and the demands of Christian
tian civilization, let the responsibility for
this lapse from the true spirit of the
American liberty and our love of home
rule and independence rest where it justly
belongs and not upon the people, through
the indifference to their will on the part
of their representatives. in Congress-
