points out that the Cuban problem ia
approaching its solution and demands
that the American people should insist
upon their political representatives taking
action in behalf of the Cuban insurgents,
The cowardice of wealth." the address
continues, reducing our officials to in
action while murder has been done, the

This is the hour of American opportu-

If well done, will go far to excuse our

point. Cuba should be put on equal
terms with Spain regarding supplies from
our burdened magazines"
The address then calls upon it's mem
hers throughout the country to unite in
demanding that their congressional rep.

GERALD'S ARM AMPUTATED.

The Negro Bystander May Die,

80 " ny Niuy DIes
Waco. Tex, Nov. Observation-Disclosures
consultation late this afternoon physi-
cans DECIDED to amputate Judge Gerald's
arm. The member was dreadfully
shattered, the bullet having divided into
fragments after hitting the bone, each
separate piece becoming a missile, plow-
ing in three directions through the bones,
iacerating muscles and causing the arm
to hang limp and helpless. He got the
bullet in his arm at the opening of the
combat and in the hand-to-hand fight,
while he and w. A. Harris struggled to-
gether, the broken arm was roughly
used. Chloroform was administered by
the surgeons, and in trice the arm was
taken off. leaving only short stub. Col.
Gerald rallied from the operation. After
fully recovering he called for cigar and
smoked it with evident enjoyment. The
most serious aspect of Col. Gerald's case
is the bullet in his side, which went
through from the rear to the front be-
tween his lower rib and hip, and causes
danger of inflammation internally.
The colored man, Sheppard Jasper.
who was wounded in the tragedy yester,
day by two stray shots, coming from two
directions at the same time, has most of
the chances for life in his favor, but he
may die of the wounds.
