In New York.

New York, Sept. 13.-At a meeting of
representatives Cubans held at No. 81
West Twenty-fifth street. on September
TO- manifesto was read reviewing the
antecedents of the present situation in
the island and setting forth the neces-
sity of constituting a new party, which,
without reference to previous political af-
filiations, should unite the valuable ele
ments of the population of the island,
interested in the well-being of it's people,
for the purpose of reconstructing the
country, in conformity with the spirit of
the resolutions passed by the Congress
of the United States on April 10.
After referring to the military occupa-
explaining It's natural consequences, and
showing that the condition is only transit
tory, the manifesto proceeds:
"Laboring now for peace and order
With the same ardor and constancy with
which we engaged in war, we shall dem
onstrate that we were worthy of the
sacrifices made by the American nation
in our behalf, and we shall dispel all sus-
picion as to our being unprepared for
the political liberty which we have OBJ
tanned. We shall thus fifty return the
once relieve our benefactors OF all anx-
iety, showing that their generous act
will neither be injurious to them, nor
even the source of serious care
The manifesto then outlines the conduct
which should be followed by those who
wish TO see the people of Cuba prosperous
and happy and calls upon all who are ami
mated by that feeling, whether Cubans or
Spaniards, to join hands In the further
ance OF that noble purpose.
The manifesto was received with great
applause. and Immediately the following
resolutions were submitted and approved:
Whereas the present situation in Cub /
imposes the necessity OF uniting the po-
litical elements OF the country for the
purpose of supporting the principles and
OF achieving the object which inspired tn >
war for independence; and,
Whereas it Is both necessary and con
venient that we should conform our con-
duct and proceedings to the spirit of the
resolutions passed by the Congress OF the
United States on April 10. 1885,
Resolved That for the purpose of con-
stituting in Cuba the Cuban nationalist
party we invite the cooperation of all the
revolutionary elements, and also OF all the
other elements of the Cuban population
which sympathize with the object above
stated without regard to their previous
afiiliation; and,
Resolved. That a committee be ap-
pointed, whose duty shall be 10 publish
and distribute a manifesto wherein the
purpose and object of the proposed party
are set forth at length, and 10 take all
such other steps as may be necessary in
order 10 convene in Cuba, al the proper
time, a convention of the delegates from
all parts of the island for the purpose OF
perfecting the organiZa ton of the party
In conformity with the resolutions. a
