LIBERTY OR DEATH,
The Flag Of Cuba L!brs Ia Nailed to tho
Mast Head,

The Cuban juuta, through its coun-
sci, Horatio s. Rubens, made an i'm
portant statement Wednesday. II de-
clared in the most unequivocal Ian
guage that the Cubsn provisional gov
ernment and the Cuban army would
reject absolutely Intervention by the
United States unless it should be pre-.
ceded by q recognition of the inde.
pendence Of the Cuban republic; that
if the United States persisted in inter
vening without recognizing Cuban in
dependence, the Cuban government
and military forces would refuse to
cooperate; and that if United States
troops should be sent to Cuba upon
the basis of intervention without re-
ccgnition, the Cuban army would in
tbs last resort turn its arms against the
United States, MIR. Horatio S. Ru.
bens, counsel to the Cuban junta,
supplemented his utterances with this
written statement over his signature:
The statement appearing over my
name in the evening papers was based
On the indications appearing, that the
object of the United States in refusing
to recognize the independence OF Cuba
was to annex the island to the United
States. It was in view of this fac!
that I expressed the determination of
the Cuban army to resist. We would, OF
course, welcome the American army

heated speeches made.
Mr.. Tawney. OF Minnesota, who
has been especially vigorous for Cuba
made very pointed speech against the
alleged policy of the president and
wa 1ted action which would be i'm

Mr.. Colsop, OF Kentucky, left the

strongly against empowering the pres

it had been presented and to meet
again at Thursday evening.

NEW COUNTY WINS.
The Governor Orders IN Election for Pee
Doe County

The prolonged and bitter fight over
the formation of Pee Dee county en-.
ded Wednesday afternoon in victory
for the advocates of the new county
scheme. As will be remembered the
only objection that could be presented
to stay the order Of election by the
governor was The claim set up by the
opponents of the new county that the
constitutional requirement OF 400
square miles could not be fulfilled if
the county was formed according 10
the proposed lines Governor Elleroe
referred to Gen Barber the question
as to whether he should order the
election upon the prima facie showing
on this point, and Gen. Barber this
afternoon fled with the governor his
opinion in favor OF the new county.
This is the conclusion reached by the
ctficial opinion: For the reasons
stated and with the utmost Difference
to the contrary views urged, l am OF
the opinion that when q properly
signed petition is presented, setting
forth compliance with the constitu
tio1al requirements, the governor
should 30. inq lire into the truth Of
the statements therein made, but
should order the election upon the
prima facie showing, and leave the

A special to the Times Union ard

report that the MascotIe brought 96
passengers from Havana to Key West
Wednesday night was erroneous. As
matter Of fact, she brought 920, and
after landing them in Key West she
returned Immediately to Havana for
another load. It is rumored here that
sne left Havana Thursday with eighty
passengers but no credence is given
this, as it IS expected that she will
bring over as many as Wednesday.
The Mascotte will continue to make
flying trips between KY West and
Havana until General Lee is ready to
leave, which will probably not be be
fore Saturday. The Oligeste did not
ssil for Havana Thursday night, as
intended, not being ready. Sae sailed
