NOBLE CAUSE OF

SECRET MEETING ioF THE JUNTA
the Purpose of the Extended and
Serious Conferences.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The members
Of the Cuban junta were in secret ses-
sion from 8 O'Clock a. m. until 4:30 p.
m. today. The proceedings were car
ried on behind closed doors and it has
been impossible to ascertain what the
cause of the hurried conference was.
t. Estrada Palma. the president of the
interview with Premier Canovas, IN
which he declared the insurrection
would surely be quelled:
Canovas may say what he pleases,
but he knows that the Cubans have
taken up arms for the purpose of dis
lodging the Spanish hand of tyranny,
and that they will not enter into any
arrangement whatever that falls short
OF the absolute freedom of Cuba. They
have absolute confidence in the out
come of the war For the Cubans free
dom has already been achieved. They
nave perfect government and 10000
well armed men in the field who obey
the government 1t is ridiculous to
hear from the lips Of the prime minis
ter OF Spain that negroes compose the
rebels OF Cuba, when the prisons Of
cuba and the penal colonies Of Africa
are full of Cubans belonging to the
highest class
A meeting in memory Of the late
Gen. Antonio Maceo was held in Chick
ering hall tonight, under the auspices
of the fifteen Cuban societies of New
York, about 500 persons being pres
ent. The greatest excitement prevail
ed. When the collection boxes were
passed, women, who composed nearly
ore-half of the audience, tore off theil
rings and other articles of jewelry an6
threw them in. The stage was deco
rated with flags Of the United States
| Cuba and other American republics
| The colors of the Philippine islands
were also in evidence. A portrait O
| Gen. Maceo occupied a prominent place
! in the center of the stage. Beneath
! it were four flaming nachetes, bount
I together with bit of blue ribbon
Beside 1t was wreath of laurel.
Senator Juan Fragua, president o
| Los Indepentes club, presided. In call
| ing the meeting to order, he said: CIV
do not meet here to weep over tn.
death Of Maceo. He was a brave man
and met a warriors death. Happily W
have other leaders who will be hear
| from in time. Spain considers tn
| death Of MaceO equivalent to the dealt
| Of the revolution. Such is the an
nouncement that has been proclaime
from Madrid to the legations of Europ
and America. 1t is not my purpose t
inveigh against Cuba's Spanish captai
| general Our business is to arouse an
keep alive public sentiment in favo
OF free Cuba"

Durance Vile.


Two more important arrests in con-
Eection with the series of burgIaries
which have kept the police busy dur
ing the past few weeks were made by
Detective DAILY yesterday, when George
GreenVille and Frank Stephanie were
locked up at the central station on the
charge of burglary. The arrests were
made on warrants sworn out by A.
Johnson, whose music store at 40 West
Exchange street was robbed of instru-
ments valued at 500 the night of De-
cember 6. When the men were safely
behind the bars, John st. Aubin, who
has been under arrest since Thursday,
was also formally served with a war
rant charging him with being con-
cerned in the same robbery. st. Aubin
is also the man accused of burglariz-
ing the residence of Dr. Smith, in COM
pany with Peter Shank, last Wednes-
day night
Including the gang which broke into
the Rudawsky residence on Canada
street, eight alleged burglars are now
in custody and the police claim to have
evidene of a convicting nature against
all but possibly one of them. Just how
the recent arrests have come about has
not been given out, but all Of the ac-
cused men have been subjected to the
sweat box process at various times
since their arrest, and it is the gen.
eral conclusion that some of them have
given up" information duplicating

| in addition to their other depredations,
SO boldly robbed the hardware store of

night that Johnson's music store was

"A meeting Of the American residents
here was held to-day, and it was de-
cided to telegraph to Secretary Of State
Olney that in view of the arrests Of
American citizens and the fact that
their property was jeopardized, he was
requested that a diplomatic agent might
be sent TO arrange matters with view
to any eXigencies that might arise. At
the same time it was to be represented
that Americans here. while preserving
a friendly attitude toward the Trans
vaal government desired that their
grievances should be Tedressed. They
had embarked considerable capital and
had devoted energy and talent TO the
development of the country. They agl-
tated constiWtionaly for their rights,
and though some had taken up arms to
show their determination, not a shot
had been fired. They, therefore, urg-
ed that attention should be paid TO
their complaints
They recognized the magnanimity
of the Transyaal government during
the recent crisis, but they claimed that
the rights OF citizenship should be ac-
corded them.

Dixie Land.

One of the most promising produe- tions of the current season will be that of the Southern comedy drama. "Dixie Land,n which will be pre- sented at the opera house Tuesday night, October 27th. An exception ally strong east of dramatic players has been engaged, and those prime favorites, Mcintyre & Heath, and the well known soubrette, Lizzie Evans, will head the bill. While the story of the play is strictly of South ern life, it must not be eonfounded with another play of a similar title, nor let the idea become general that t is in any way a minstrel organi- zation.
