HELP FOR THE CUBANS.
Americans Aroused to the ExiEcncies
of the Grave situation

OF the Grave SITUATION.
Cuba's cry of anguish is being re-
echoed throughout the land. The Amer
lean people, now thoroughly aroused TO
the shocking conditions that prevail in
the island, are rising in their might and
their compassion to assist the valorous
people in a struggle for freedom that
stands almost unparalleled in the annals
of the world. From the coast of Maine
to the Gulf, from the Southern Atlantic
States TO the western slopes of the
Sierra Nevadas. news comes that men
and money are being raised to lend time
~ assistance to the valorous insurgents.
Even hospital stores are being secured
and prepared TO send TO the men who may
fall before the bullets of the Spanish
monarchists.
The remarkable thing in all this show
of love for Cuba and of hatred for Spain
is the fact that the Cuban junta say
they do not need men, that they have suf-
ficient forces on the island to meet and
conquer the battaions of Weyler and Of
his generals. Nevertheless, the American
people seem determined to swell the army
of liberation. In various cities recruit
ing is going on brskly. Companies OF
from fifty to 100 men are being raised,
many of them including veterans who
fought on the blood-stained fields of the
South during the war of the rebellion.
These are both Federal and Confederates
Having long ago Joined hands as a united
American nation. they are now preparing
TO lend their valued aid in driving from
the Gem of the Antilles the brutal Span
ish oppressor.

sinated citizens quicken the pulse and
make us pray for the time when the
reign of blood shall end. The Cuban
representatives here say that this end
can Se accomplished by the intervention
OF the United States in Cuba's behalf
Our statesmen agree in this and senti-
ment and sympathy advise such a course.
Intervention may lead the Government
into serious complications and conserva-
tive statesmen feel that their first duty is
TO their own Government. Nevertheless
there is manifest a strong sentiment for
interference unless there be change in
Cuban affairs within reasonable time.
The position of the administration, as
made plain by President Cleveland's
message, has the commentator of the
conservative element. Maj. Mckinley
is reported to be in sympathy with Mr.,
Cleveland's attitude and to be particular
ly pleased with the paragraph which fore
shadows Intervention. The implication

The Value Of Rye.
