TAMPA GREATLY EXCITED.
The Proposition for an armis;icc Il
Resented.

Tampa, Fla, March 29-Not since the
firing on Fort Sumter has this city and
State been so agitated as ii is today over
the position of President Mckinley on the
Spanish-American question. Word that
the President favored an armistice meas
IRE met with unqualified disapproval
Republicans who have Endorsed every act
and policy Of the Administration hold up
their hands in establishment at the idea.
kilograms have been pouring into Tampa
from all parts Of South Florida to this ef-
feet.
The Cuban colonies which occupy Ybor
City and West Tampa were particularly
excited over the report, and the hope
which had heretofore buoyed them up
gave place to despera ton. and after vio-
lent speeches they would shout in chorus.
cuba librer' The Cubans consider that
their cause has been sacrificed either 10
the interest of Wall Street or through
fear Of the result of a war. They cannot
understand why they should cease fight
ing on the eve Of an early victory to al
low the Spaniards time to recuperate.
one Of the best-known Cuban leaders
said:
If we submit to such compromise and
do no lighting until the weather is Of an
agreeable temperature 10 the Spanish
troops our cause is lost. What we asked
for and what we want is aid, not inter-
ference. If our armies are prevented
from lighting for an existence by force
from another nation which has pretended
friendship they, too Will fll the country
with bleached bones. for we will never
submit to such an outrageous injustice
The effect OF such a policy would be ex-
actly the reverse of what the American
people and Congress have intended In
stead Of pacifying the Cubans il will
goad them on TO fight with greater fierce
ness, and the suffering and starvation
thus far endured is but a foretaste Of
what must follow.
The Spaniards in turn will become
more inhuman than they have thus far
been. for they have the assurance Of the
President Of his cooperation in their en-
deayor to crush the Cubans out of ex-
iStCnCp."
All the Cubans express the hope that
Congress viii fail to sustain the Presi-
dent if he persists, and that the people
fore the chance TO strike the blow for
Cuban independence is lost The Ameri-
can citizens here are Chagrined on ac-
count Of the apparent efforts TO smother
the Maine outrage. and IL will cost his
future political aspirations for any MEM
Der of the Florida delegation in Congress
to vote to sustain what is reported to be
the Presidents course in the matter.

the metropolitan district. Over 1900
stone cutters are now idle.
Forty-one yards in New York, one in
Brooklyn and eight in As,otia are con-
trolled by the Master Stone Cutters As

a demand made by the machine stone
workers about a month ago for the
eight-hour workday and a new schedule
of wages.
The board of walking delegates yester-
day Endorsed the stand taken by the
machine stone workers and stone cut
tiers. and strikes will be ordered on every
building where non-union settlers are
employed.
