THE OBJECT.
In opening the meeting. Colonel AL
len read this call:
We the undersigned citizens of this
republic, anxious for the success of all
peoples in obtaining the civil and po-
litical liberty which the nation secured
more than century ago, and still en-
joys, unite in organizing the Cuban
League of the United States of Amer
lea.
The object of this league is to Sc
cure for Cuba, by all lawful, peaceful
and honorable means, the political in
dependence which her patriots are
now endeavoring, by tremendous sac
rifice of treasure and life, to gain: to
encourage them with our sympathy
and moral support and to arouse the
whole nation to demand an end of the
campaign of murder and destruction
in that island.
Mindful of the help which our
fathers received in a similar struggle.
we are constrained by a sense of
gratitude TO return to Cuba the kind
ness which was so effectively given
to us.
1T is apparent TO all thoughtful OBJ
servers that Spain has not the power
therefore, the continuance of the cruel
struggle in Cuba can only serve to pro-
long a sense of abasement and humilia-
ton IN the minds OF all men, who are
confident that this republic has the
power to end it. and is in honor called
upon to do so for the highest good of
all parties directly concerned

Immediately after the receipt of the

ton, and in each case 1t was said the
fee of 81 had been paid without pro-
test. The state will appeal from the
decision of the Blackfoot officials.
