adopted resolutions uttering its defiance of
the elections bill passed at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature. Tammany an
nounces its intention not to recognize the

Congress. that we would free Cuba and that
we did not want it ourselves. Now, if we
arrive the Spanish from CUBA and leave ner
without any torclble interference. 1t Will
