Governor Morton. All regretted their in
ability to be present and speak for Gu
ba's cause.
In most part the letters roundly con-
demned the butchery being conducted by
the Spanish soldiers under Weyler.
Secretary De Sayas read a number of
letters from prominent people giving
financial aid to the cause Among them
was one from w. e. d. Stokes, donating
$1,000 When this was announced the
crowd called loudly for Stokes Finally
Mr.. Stokes responded: t"'.ts1
Il am convinced that our representa-
tive in Washington, Secretary Olney, is
doing what every American citizen knows
to be wrong. Here is nation knocking
at our door and asking for freedom and
liberty Shall we help them? | say we
are not true Americans unless we do so.
1t is a great and grand cause that these
Cuban patriots are fighting for, and they
deserve the help of the greatest of all civ
ilized nations, the United States.'
DR.. Verona spoke in Spanish and DR..
Sayas and Louis S. Vincent and others
followed with stirring addresses.
Delegate T. Estrada Palma, the Cuban
representative to this country, was Wild
ly cheered as he stepped to the platform
Mr.. Palma said that he was sorry that q
severe cold prevented his speaking.

THE Cuban league, which Is here in
augurated, will labor on till from the

mission is accomplished. And in further
