CUBA LIBRE.
AMERICANS WHO PROPOSE TO oP-
POSE SPAIN.
Recruiting Stations Are Apparently
Being Maintained in More Than
One City of the United States-A
Prompt Denial.

NEW YORK, May THE World
says this morning:
1t was reported in Newark last night
that several members of the first reg
iment of the national guard which is
located there, had accepted generous
offers to fight for Cuban independence
and had left the city under orders of
the Cuban junta.
The number of guardsmen who are
going is not definitely known. 1t was
learned, however, that at least a
dozen have already signed an agree
ment with the representatives of the
junta and much larger number are
seriously considering the matter with
the prospect that they will join the
expedition.
On Tuesday night the first detach-
nlent left Newark. The party was in
charge of William L. Edwards and of
the First regiment. They were escort
ed to a rendezvous in this city, where
they are said to be now stationed.
1t was given out that the expedition
in which the Newarkers will take part
was to embark on a steamer at Perth
Amboy. This report was intended to
throw the emissaries of the Spanish
government off the scent. 1t is said
that the men who will make up the
party will board a vessel at sea, being
conveyed from various points in tugs
and saihngs vessels
One volunteer is said to have been
offered bonus of $780, together with
his fare to jacksonville, and monthly
compensation of $50. Another state
ment is that the men are TO receive
a bonus of 500 and S22 a month.
The representative of the junta have
for several weeks past maintained
recruiting station in the city. 1t is
known that a. number of influential
members of Lincoln post of the G. A.
f. have been aiding them. A force of
men recruiting from ali parts of the
country, is said to be in Newark now
waiting a chance to reach Cuba.
The Cuban junta issued a statement
of the law yesterday regarding Cuban
beNigerency, together with a petition
of Tomas Estpade Palma, delegate of
the republic of Cuba, for the recogni-
ton by the United States of the bel
ligerency of the Cubans.
The statement was prepared by Ho-
ratio S. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban
legation in this city, and a copy of
the same today will be in the hands of
every congressman.
1t is pointed out that with the ex-
istence of civil war comes the question
of recognition, and that much of the
existing Misrepresentation on the sub
ject arises from a conclusion of the
various kinds of recognition of insur-
gents-first, the recognition of bellig-
erency. which is the lowest grade; sec
ond, virtual or commercial recognition,
and third, recognition of independence.
That the Cubans are conducting their
army of $4,000 men and Spain of 160,-
00O The present attitude of neutral
fty by the United States, he says.
gives great advantage to Spain.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.
L. E. Holden Dropped as Fourth Vice
President.


President.
BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE National
Municipal league today reelected all
OF its officers for another term, except
l.. r. Holden, of Cleveland, fourth vice
president, for whom Professor Ed
mund j. James, of Chicago university,
was substituted, and Louis D. Brand
ers, of Boston, who was replaced as
executive committeeman by Mayor
George W. Ochs. of Chattanooga. The
names of Judge E. Blandin, of Cleve-
land. and D S. Newman, of Washing
ton, were added to the executive COM
mittee.
Charles Richardson, of Philadelphia,
read paper on municipal ownership
of street railways.
A paper on Public Control of Fran
chises," by Mayor Hazen S. Pingree, of
Detroit, was read
THE question of the control of the cor
porations operating under municipal
franchises is purely a political question"
done is to elect your public representa-
tiyes and they will do the rest"
The trouble in doing this properly the
speaker thought. begins at the primar-
les or party caucuseS, many of which are
captured through bribery by those who
are interested in procuring franchises or
in retaining those they already have. The
present system of regulating the primar-
les in Michigan, the mayor said, is pre-
ferable to the old one under which he
asserted that ''the city paid $50 per
month to aldermen and the corporations
purchased them in blocks when they
were required
Thus he said, the city was practically
governed by the corporations operating
the franchises as the state was, and still
is, dominated by the railroads in all
nertalnS control those
roads. the same as the congress is radi-
cally Influenced by the combined rail-
roads and vessel interests
A franchise to a corporation resembles,
the speaker thought, device by means
of which the governing power is taken
out of the hands of the people and sur
rendered to a class and he did not see
why street car companies, any more
than owners of hacks, coupes, ETC., should
have a charter instead of an annual Ii
cense. For the future control of such
matters, the speaker said the primaries
must be the resort, and for the reforma-
ton of existing abuses, the courts must
be sought.
"The relation of municipality to
quasi public corporations enjoying
municipal franchises" by William
Salter, of Philadelphia, and another on
THE municipal condition of Pitts
burg" by c. w. Guthrie, ended the
morning session.
The afternoon session was devoted
to papers relating to the municipal con-
dition of southern cities. They were
as follows: Richmond Va, by Vir-
ginius Newton; Atlanta, Ca, by H.
Davis; Nashville, Tenn. by A. V. S.
Lindsey, and Memphis, Tenn, by
James H. Malone.
The session closed with rather SEN
sational address by Colonel Arthur D.
Asher, of Macon, Ca, which was re-
ceived with ep thusiastic approval by
the conference.

A Long Struggle, But Little Accom-
plished.
WASHINGTON, May THE net re-
suit of a three and a half hours session
of the house today was the passage of
a bill to amend the act creating the
court of appeals SO as to allow appeals
from the supreme courts of the terri
tories ito the court of appeals. Mr..
Picker (Rep.), of South Dakota, att
tempted ito secure his revenge for the
defeat he suffered last night, when the
house refused to remain in session to
pass private pension bills, by blocking
legislation today He made the point
of no quorum at every opportunity, and
finally the house losing patience, adj
journed. Mr.. Picker threatens to keep
UP his tactics until he accomplishes
his object, which he says is to secure
further consideration for private pen
sion bills.

and these the patriots in the United
States are determined to supply with
out stint. Large orders have been
placed and SO large quantity is now
ready that it has been determined to
send out an expedition of three yes
sells. One has just been bought for
the purpose. 1t is said she is the fast
steamer Magnetic, which arrived in
this port from st. Kits, April II. The
price paid for her by her present
owner. whose name is kept secret,
was $4,000 1t is alleged that she has
cargoes on Cuban soil.
One thing which will greatly lessen
the danger to the Magnetic is the fact
that she will be accompanied by two
other steamers, both of which will be
we'll armed and prepared to fight. 1t
is thought the two vessels chosen are
the Bermuda and her sister ship, the
Muriel. Both are strongly built and
are well suited for the intended SER

NEW YORK, May 1.-The following
report from the interior of Turkey as
to the present situation and needs has
just been received by the National Ar
menian Relief association:
Just at the present we are passing
very blue days. as the funds for relief
are beginning to fall off while the dis
tress all about us is day by day grow
ing deeper and deeper. The state of
the case is this: The Turkish govern
ment, evidently to restore quiet and
keep order, is very anxious to have the
villagers return 20 their homes and
lands, and to have the city people open
their shops and return to business. But
it refuses the arrest of the Kurdish
chiefs who have robbed and killed Ar
menians, nor will it do more towards
restoration than to politely require the
Kurds to give back anything they may
have no particular use for.
THE WHOLE QUESTION
hangs on the arrest or non-arrest of
these Kurds: and so long as they are
unpublished, neither the villagers nor
the city people will have any safety.
AS the arrest of ten or even fewer
Kurds would secure these great results,
Is IL 10 De wondered DIT that the Al
menians Look aSkance at reforms that
do not begin with so obvious and SIM
pie a measure.
Meanwhile, Lord Salisbury tries to
cover his defeat by talking of civil
war This is gross falsification, it's only
show of truth being found in the lei
toum incident. The Armenians are and
have always been absolutely helpless.
But if things go on as they are now
going, it is more than probable that
the revolutionists will, perhaps before
this reaches you, rise up in sheer de-
spair and not make war but simply
MAKE A DEATH STRUGGLE
that will probably end the administra-
ton question for the next century
by determination and proselytizing
The danger is seen and, 1 believe,
equally feared and deplored by both
Armenians and Turks, but matters
have passed beyond the control of so
weak and corrupt government.
Meanwhile. there is nothing to stand
between the vast mass of the people
and starvation, save this relief work.
Hence it makes us feel desperate to
see our funds falling off already"
