JUNTO NEEDS MONEY.
Tomas Estrada Palma Appeals for Pc
cuniary Aid for the Cuban Cause.

NEW YORK, June 49, - Tomas Estrada
Palma has just issued an appeal for pc
cuniary aid for the Cuban cause. The ap-
peal follows:
In view of the enormous expenditure of
money necessary to hit out and land a vol
unteer contingent of Cubans from this coun-
Try, ana the added assurance which we
nave received from the different Cuban
generals in the field commanding the va
rious divisions, particularly in the Orient
ana CamaJuerl, that there are several
thousand men in those parts who are anX-
lous to join the army of liberation, but are
unproVided with arms and ammunition with
which to fight, the delegation has felt jusri-
fled in the action which it has taken not to
call for additional Cuban volunteers at
present, at least. The cost is too great for
the funds at our disposal, and we find that
Cubans on the island can be equipped at
less expense. 1t is possible that at some
later time IT may be opportune to ask for
further volunteers but we already have
fully four hundred Cubans now in camp
at Tampa ready to form a second division
In the meantime we will continue to do all
in our power to aid those who have already
gone and remain united and helping each
other in the grand struggle which is being
mistake, which is liable to result in serious
consequences, for our Cuban brethren in
this and other foreign countries to believe
that because the United States has de-
clared war against Spain and has joined
with us to free Cuba from Spanish rule
that Cuba has now been recognized as in
of Cubans contributing funds for the sup
port of the cause and the delegation.
During the brief time which has elapsed
since the declaration of war We have had
many necessary extraordinary expenses,
and these have all had to be met promptly.
The extra expenses will in all ability
continue to arise from time to time, and
we are unable to anticipate them. The Gu
ban republic has been declared free and
independent and if it is desired that it
should always remain so it is necessary for
Cuban patriots to lend. their aid to it and
support and provide for it. 1t is still of the
utmost Importance that we should have
funds to carry on our work. If we have
not money with which to meet our obliga-
lions we expose ourselves to diScredt and
dishonor among our brethren of the United
States, who have joined with us to fight
for us, and the impression which we would
convey would be an unfavorable one, and
that beautiful example of abnegation, union
and discipline, which the Cuban patriots
have given to all the world should appeal
to the patriotism of every Cuban in this
and other countries. l trust that they will
all harken to the call of duty and continue
to contribute their pecuniary aid to the
cause of Cuban independence and liberty,
each in proportion to his means and ability
that we may complete our mission in good
faith and in good standing"

Those who are misled by those papers aid
politicians who still insist that the govern
ment is doing nothing of any Importance
should take time to consider the proportions
of the fleet which has sailed from Tampa
for Santiago. If they do they will be sur
prised to find that the expedition is one of
the largest which has been sent by water
TO war in the history OF warfare. More
than thirty transport ships have been in a
single fleet, but the tonnage of the ships
the number of men carried, the armament.
the horses and the general outfit of war
was not equaled during the late war and it
may be questioned if in modern wars such
body of troops, so fully equipped, has
been sent to the field in one body by water
When the sixteen war ships, cruisers and
gunboats are added to the thirty troop
carriers It may safely be said that an equal
aggregate of tonnage was never afloat in
q single expedition.

Most people will be surprised to learn"that
Mr.. Letter, who has been reported as hav-
ing cleared 100000 by his wheat transac-
ton, is practically in the hands of a re-
ceiver. He may pay out in the end, but he
will have made no millions. Mr.. Letter was
all right so long as all the wheat that
could be counted on was the crop of 1897.
The supply was scarcely equal to the de-
mand. 1t was the law of supply and de-
mand that helped Mr.. Letter make the price
of wheat. When the reports from all
wheat-growirg countries showed a good
yield and the report of the condition of the
crop in the United States indicated phe-
nomenal yield Mr.. Letters efforts to keep
up the prices were as futile as would be
his efforts to resist the oceanIs incoming
tide with broom. Wheat Will be lower
now because of the promise of an abundant
crop

Secretary Gage has lost no time in putting
the popular loan upon the market. For one
month no order for bonds in excess of $500
by one person will be accepted. This gives
the holders of small amounts of money who
wish to invest all the advantage that could
be asked. They can have the bonds at
par. which will insure them per cent on
their investment, which is exempt from all
taxation. The bonds are of two classes
the coupon and the registered. The coupon
bonds are more readily handled than the
registered. but the registered are regarded
as the safer. as they stand in the name of

A number of Democratic papers in Indi-
ana could profit by needing the words of
the Democratic Cincinnati Enquirer in re-
gard to supporting the President in the con-
duct of the war, which are as follows:
The President of the United States is
not at the head of restless mob. He is
the chief executive of an intelligent, pro-
gressive, humane people, whose patri-
otto purpose will not waver either in vic
tory or defeat. The people will stand by
the government. The best sentiment of
the country will recognize the fact that
there must be a head to affairs. and that
the methods of the constituted authorities
must be respected and sustained 1t is the
true American spirit that will be with the
government. steadfast and true, in tri-
umph or disaster. The constitutional fault
finders and paper fighters will be only fair
weather patriots.
The people of the United States believe
that the President has called to the COM
mand of the armies and fleets the most ex-
perienced men in those branches of the pub
lie service, and upon their judgment and
discretion they will rely.

During the last war the men of new regi-
ments in camp complained of not getting
enough to eat when they were receiving
full rations. This is explained on the
ground that the entire change of life sharp

Ice, in which the men become accustomed
to the life of soldier, there will be no
complaints of inadequacy of such food as
the government furnishes troops in camp.
