PACKED TO THE DOORS.
Cooper Union was packed to the doors
when the meeting of the CUBAN league
was called TO order by lts preslee NJ
Ethan Allen, lineal descendant OF the
general of the same name OF reVolu-
| tionary fame. Mr.. Allen said;
This immense and enthusiastic audi
ence rs proof that the heart of our
citizens still throbs in harmony Tor any
people struggling to be free. turther
: than this. il is proof that the American
neople do not breathe the air OF
towards. although some of the govern
ment NAV. We are assembled tonight
/ 10 UNFOLD in other lands the cause for
which Washington and his compatrlots
contended in this. Ii we are not wiling
to make sacrifices TO extend the herlt-
age of liberty, bequeatned 10 US from
/ the storms of battle, we are unworthy
to hold and enjoy it ourselves
Cuba is now, for the second time,
in the death grapple with her savage
foe. She is resolved to be free ana we
are here tonight to say she snail Inc
curse of Spanish rule is no longer to be
tolerated. 1t is the government that
/ between the
king and subject; it is one part tyrant
and all the rest slave. The instincts OF
orr people revolt against this wherever
lit NAV exist, and especially when so
near our own shores.
.-Spain. by her revolving crueltleS,
has forfeited the good opinion OF man
kind and is no longer to be regarded
as a factor among civilized nations.
I'VE assemble here tonight as Amerl-
cans TO declare that the independence
of Cuba shall be recognized now 70
DELAY is to make ourselves responsible
for the further ruin and slau-nter
which will follow. Cuba has resolved
upon freedom or eXtermlnatlon' anu,
applauding our heroic neighbor, 1t is
orr duty to stay the assassin's hand
with Spain we have tried argument
long enough She is not amenable to
reason, so we must resort to some other
force. The 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
horoes of the Antilles.
LET THE CUBANS GO.
..The Cuban League, which is here in
augurated, will labor on, till from the
Mount Sinai of our invincible repub-
Iicanism we may thunder our COM
mand. so that Spain shall hear. and
