are united in local council choosing
one OF the number as the presiding Off
Ger. 1t is the duty Of these councils to
govern the Cuban affairs within their
territory, and the delegate communi-
Gates to them his wishes, and it Is their
part to attend to the execution. They
are without powers in relation to the
delegate, although often called into
consultation with him. AS to the dele
gate himself he is the representative Of
the revolutionists in this country, but
he has no official status by reason OF
that fact in the government Of the in
surgents. He is the amicable ally Of
the organization in Cuba, but nothing
more formally. He sends his help to
them, but he has no voice in their coun-
sells. In the case Of the present dele
gate the insurgent government has ap-
pointed him to be Minister Plenipoten-
tlary, representing the government
here, but that position is in no wise in
herent in the office Of delegate.
The Importance Of the work here is
such and the energy and ability with
which it has been prosecuted are such
that the persons most active in it are
deserving Of particular attention. There
are perhaps nine men engaged in work.
ing for the Cuban cause in this coun-
try who are most distinguished for their
devotion to the cause.
The death of Jose Marie, in May Of

Benjamin J. Guerra, the treasurer, is

the time Of the first revolution Even
at that early age, however, he was of
service to the patriot cause, acting as
dispatch bearer. He came here with
his parents after the war, and entered
into commercial life. He was made
treasurer Of the Spanish-American Lit
erary Society and vice president Of the
Spanish American Benevolent Society.
At the first establishment Of the revo-
lutionists' party here he was elected
treasurer, and has continued in that

class includes those who, in the face Of
the enemy, display their martial Prov
ess, and by strength and valor on the
field OF battle, by the patient toll Of
forced marches, by the grim endurance
Of every physical anguish, win for
themselves the fame Of heroes.
But the other class, perhaps obscure,
perhaps unheralded to the world, Is no
less an eminent factor in the strife. 1t
Is made up of those who furnish the
first essential Of active warfare, the
money for supplies, It Is the duty of
this class to provide for arms and
munitions, to contribute the funds
wherewith the provisioning OF the
troops may be maintained; in fine, to
do all save the actual labors Of the COM
bat. To this class there belongs task
OF difficulty oftentimes, Of dignity al
ways. Where the seat of war is readily
accessible for supplies, the duties of
those who provide are less arduous.
But in the case Of the Cuban patriots
here In the United States all Of the
difficulties are magnified. These men
are few in numbers; they are located
in a foreign country: they must con-
tend against distance and lack Of num-
bers. Small wonder If in the face OF
such obstacles they should become dis
couraged; they at least deserve ad-
mlration for their indomitable purpose
If they persevere without falterlng.
The organization of the Cuban revo-
lutionists In this country has been most
effective. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the insurgents in Cuba must have
already abandoned their cause but
for the effectual aid extended to them
by their sympathizers here. The sue
cess Of the work has not depended upon
the numbers or the wealth Of the Gu

troll of the work in the United States
was In the hands of junta, but 1t Is
not now. Marti was the real promoter
of the plan now followed, and It only
came into being shortly before the out
break Of the contemporary revolution.
His idea was strongly opposed by some
Of the Cubans. but in spite Of opposi-
ton 1t prevailed, and the results would
seem to indicate Marti's wisdom.
In brief, the system is as follows:--
Clubs of Cubans are scattered all over
the country. These clubs elect three
general officers for the government Of
the associated clubs. These officers are
a president, or, as he Is formally desig-
mated, delegate, and treasurer and
secretary. These are the executive
officers OF the clubs. There are no
others to detract from the authority of
the three. BY this means a centraliza-
ton Of power, vital to action In the
emergencies of war, is gained, for the
delegate, no matter how democratic he
may be by nature and aspiration, Is for
the nonce an autocrat. AS for the other
departments of organization 1t may be
said that in any place where there are
three clubs, the presidents of the three

1t is usual to speak Of the Cuban

"Junta," but it is incorrect. The word
1unta means an assembly, and the pres
ent method of management does not de-

are buried carefully and are lightly
covered over, while all traces Of man"
are removed.
All steel traps are provided with
chains, which should be wired to heavy
iron weights, so that the animal that
gets a foot in can drag the whole thing.
He never goes far, and there is less
chance for him to jerk his foot out
than there would be If the trap were
fastened to anything solid and station
airy. The weight is buried when the
trap is set. These are the tactics used
in war against Mr., Coyote. Something

office ever since. His relations with
Marti were intimate, and he has in
every way been pronounced In his der
votlon to the revolutionary cause.
Gonzalo de Quesada, the secretary
was born in Havana In 1868, two
months after the outbreak Of the revo'
luton. When he was eight years OLD
he came to this country with his family,
and was educated here. He entered the
College Of the City OF New York, from
which he was graduated as q bachelor
of science in 1888. He was a member
of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, editor
of the college periodical, and held Vari-
Gus class offices; was president Of the
Chess Club, and vice-commodore In his
senior year. He entered the Columbia
School Of Mines, but left 1t to supply
temporarily professorship in Spanish
in the College of the City Of New York.
He then entered the Law School, and
gained the degree Of bachelor Of laws,
In 1891.
All the arms and cartridges which

slres munitions, not men. There are in
surgents enough to do the fighting, II
properly equipped Three cartridges,
1t Is said, are worth more to them than
soldier. Nevertheless, they receive
scores of letters daily from all sorts and
conditions of men proffering their serv-
ices. Many officers have volunteered
their aid but the Cuban authorities
uniformly refuse all volunteers.
He accompanied the Argentine dele
CATION to the Pan-American Congress,
in Washington, as secretary to the
Honorable Saenz Pena, Minister Of For
egn Affairs, and travelled with him
through England, France and Spain, to
the Argentine confederation, whence he
returned as Consul in Philadelphia.
He resigned from this position when
Martl resigned his position in New
York, because to retain it would have
been to deny his loyalty to Cuba. When
Marti began his operations here Cues
ada became his secretary, which Office
he retained after the formal organiza-
ton. He was associated with Marti in
the editorship Of Patria, the revolu-
tionists' newspaper. When Marti went
to Cuba Quesada was ordered to remain
here in charge, and Gomez reiterated
the command. After Marti's death, un-
til the election of Quesada, he was the
chief in this country. Quesada has
also been a member Of the Executive
Committee of the Spanish-American
Literary Society and secretary of the
Benevolent Society. He has published
three books, the first collection of
short stories, the others Of patriotic
sort-all written in Spanish. Last year
he was one of the counsel in the famous
