rs Spain entitled to consideration at the
hands Of modern, civilized and highly
progressive nation? Does her misrule Of
Cuba for a century commend her to the
lings here to lift up and educate the Cuban
and make his beloved island prosperous?
Under the accursed flag of CASTLE will not
freedoms muff1ed shrieks still be heard on
the American hemisphere? Will not the
continuance of her supremacy in Cuba
mean the perpetuation of medieval insti-
buttons, the downtrodding Of right and
equity and the upholdirg Of all that to men
of the nineteenth century is debased and
bal barrie?
People Of the free and glorious United
States, Cuba appeals to you! She asks that
you raise your voice In her behalf. She
asks that you announce to the world that
at least as against the tyrant she be given
an equal chance. Cuba, the bleeding, ap-
peals to her American sisters. She does it
in the name of God of justice, of civiliza-
ton and of America.

Reaching the road, little hamlets were found

Must We capture Havana and drive
SPANS hirelings across the sea before we
are even given the right as men to fight for

should be universally divided among his

The Republic Established.
THE Cuban republican government of
the island Is a firmly established institu-
ton. Covering considerably over one-half
of the area is the civil branch Of our au-
thority. with regularly appointed governors
Of different sections, prefectos in subdi-
vision and so forth. OF course, Spanish
formalities are still followed to a great
extent in the administration of the local
governments, for complete change of
method in q few months would be too
radical
Here in Cubitas are the head officers
and chief departments of tn, republic.
Here We are able, and most willing to
receive representatives of the United States
or other nations.
"On all grounds Of diplomatic and inter-
national usage the Cuban republic Is enti-
tied not alone to recognition of belligerent
rights for Its armies now in the field, but to
actual Independence. Still we do not ask
that the latter be acc1 rded US at present
All we wish now is to be looked upon by
the government of the United States as men
and soldiers battling for their birthright.

The Former Intends to Make n Photo

graph of the Human Brain.
Thomas Edison, who is making expert
ments with the new method of photography
discovered by Roentgen, intends to photo
graph a mans brain. In talking of his ex-
perments, Mr.. Edison said yesterday:
1.-THE ray that does the work is not the
ordinary cathode ray. IT is an unknown ray.
/ have now penetrated piece of steel one
eighth Of an inch thick, and will try others
a quarter of an inch thick In all my ex-
periments last night / used the same
strength of electric current, but changed
the vacuum each Time.
Il am now preparing to try the light on a
human head. / am having a number Of
tubes made. 1 shall use a battery of five
long tubes. To get the rays into the tubes
shall use strips of aluminium thirty inches
long. The reason j shall use five tubes in
stead Of one is that while one tube the rays
going out toward each side from a common
center would produce an exaggerated pic
ture.
by getting rays from five tubes lying side
by side hope to obviate this difficulty. and
get picture corresponding to the subject in
all its details.
II shall place nay subject on his back on
a large table with a sensitive plate UNDER
meath his head. i shall then place the bat
terry of tubes over his face and turn the light
on. The exposure will last an hour. and
hope to get a good picture OF the skull.
THE tubes that / use differ from the or
binary Crooke tubes in that the glass is very
much thinner. As glass offers great resist
ance to the new rays this is an advantage.
There is a sort of famine in Crooke's tubes
In the country now, owing to so many of
them being broken in experiments but / use
the ordinary incandescent light bulbs, which
probably do not cost more than fifty cents.
"Celluloid is easily penetrated by the new
ray, and am going to use celluloid shut
ter in my tubes"

almost faint to think Of what they might
be after the famous rainy season of Cuba
had set in.
could Spanish artillery be hauled over
this road?" the guide was asked.
NO" replied the fellow. nor Cuban ar
tillery, either"
When about thirty miles from Puerto
Padre the Las Canas ranch was reached.
Here the country was quite rough and
back to the left several high mountains,
chief among them Manibon, reached to-
ward the deep blue sky.
A Change of Horses.
Though Cuban horses are, as a rule, very
hardy little animals, the guide thought a
change woulG be well enough. The pro-
prietors Of the Las Canas ranch were
agreeable to this, very frankly remarking
that their lot of horses was not the best in
the world, as the insurgents had come on
some six weeks before and appropriated
their stock, leaving in its stead fifteen or
twenty steeds with whom long marches had
counted severely. The ranchmen were Gu
bans, and said they were ashamed to be

Padre is a good place to land at. Nobody
knows anything about your business and
nobody cares. On certain occasions this is
a very agreeable condition.
The main road from Puerto Padre to the
interior runs almost due south, through
q country agreeably billy. and cut up into
cattle ranches of various sizes. They were
cattle ranches not long ago. but in recent
days all manner and description of live stock
upon them went to the rebellion" AS q
consequence the Mills are covered with tall
grass. the majority of the houses are de-
serted, and only few people are encoun-
tered upon tine road
1t was easy to trace the marches Of the
frsurgent cavalry by the strips of barb
wire fences that were cut at intervals The
rebels had evidently never taken the roads
a most commendable exhibition of good
sense. The roads were very muddy on this
occasion. although the rain that fell the
previous night was not copious One would

Cuba's Second Struggle.
''The present is Cuba's second struggle
for liberty. From 1868 to 1S7S--ten long,
suffering years-a little band of patriots
fought calamity on. While the wrongs
then were as great they now are, the
Cuban people did not rise as they have
risen in this war to throw Off the Spanish
yoke. The thirst for liberty which per-
meates the island today was unknown
then except to a small minority of the PEG.
pie, and after ten years of warfare the
end came, but it did not bring success
"But even then Spain made promises to
the Cuban people that she did not propose
to fulfill, and from that time the island
has suffered as no other section of the
earth has in the same period Spain
claims she holds Cuba by divine right.
Such were her pretentions with regard to
all her American possessions, but a Divine
Hand liberated those same possessions, and
today they are free and independent re-
publics OF the new world.
Spanish Misrepresentation.
1.-THE Spaniards have raised the cry
abroad that the Cuban rebellion is merely
an uprising of negroes. There Is no truth
In this, stated. 1t Is not a negro I'D
rising, nor white uprising, but rebellion
or the people of Cuba against a cruel and
unrelenting despot. But even if it were
a negro rebellion, would the people OF the
United States frown upon 1t?
THE answer to that question is told
by the firing upon Fort Sumter, the war
of 1851 to 1865, the million of graves in the
southland and the God-inspired procIama-
ton of Abraham Lincoln. Was not the
freedom of the black man announced in
that undyins language used by the martyr
President? And did not the blood of
million American freemen stain grassy
mounds in the now loyal and patriotic
south, writing in eternal words the enamel
patton of the black man?
The world knows the noble yet fearful
history Spain knows 1t, and when her
representative in the capital of the United
States says the Cuban rebellion Is a negro
movement entirely, he not only falsifies,
put he insults the memory of the grand
army of the dead.
I'VE are proud to have our colored broth
ers with us in this glorious struggle for
freedom; for Cuba, when free will be like
the land OF Washington, where every man
worthy of citizenship will be accorded the
1ull rights of civil and religious liberty

those rights of belliserency to which, &C

We are entitled. Our armies have marched

The steamer Australia arrived at San
Francisco yesterday from Honolulu bring
ing the following correspondence to the AS
ISOLATED Press:
HONOLULU. February 1.-The 18th OF
January having been declared a national
holiday by the republic, Invitations to take
mart were sent in the usual way to the dip
lomatic and consular corps.
Favorable replies were received from all
but the representatives Of the United States,
England, Japan ana France. VI shese lep-
resentatives the last three stated In their
replies to this government that, as their
governments had never recognized the pro-
Visional government, and as the holiday was
given in celebration of the formation OF that
government they did not feel 1t incumbent
upon them to in any way participate Mr.
willis replied, stating that he would lay the
matter before Secretary Olney.
Secession Rumors Denied.
Minister Cooper denies the statements pub
lished in the San Francisco papers regard
ing his recent visit to Hawaii His trip to
Hilo was simply in. conformity with the
nolicy Of the government There was moth
ing in the rumors Of secession Of the people
on the big island to call for visit OF any
member Of the government to Hilo.
The legislature will meet on the 18th in
slant. Under act 60 of the constitution. the
legislature cannot sit more than ninety days,
except by special extension by the president,
and then not for more than thirty days adj
ditional. Many important questions will be
considered, the Asiatic question being one.
Chinese and Japanese were originally
brought here to work on plantations, but at
the expiration of their contracts many of
them drifted into Honolulu and engaged in
public pursuits, directly in competition with
the white merchants and mechanics. This
competition is commencing to be felt very
keenly.
The United States ship Boston arrived on
the Both ultimo, sixteen days from San Fran

then leave for the China station.
