On Havana"

white squadron opens fire on Havana,
Maxine Gomez will begin an attack by

Havana surrenders or nothing is left
but a heap of ruins"
These words were used in Tampa,
Fla, to World correspondent, by
Emilio Nunez of New York, who COM
manded the filibr-tering expedition
which has been Ianded in Cuba from
the steamer Daunrless.
Captain Dynamite" Jack O'Brien
has returned to Tampa with Colonel
Nunez. They left for New York last
night.
Il am just back from Cuba" Colonel
Nunez said, Cuba, which is now al
most free.
Our little steamer carried two allot-

we left a large quantity of rifles and
dynamite, for Calixto Garcia's COM
mand.
Then we put about and steamed along
the entire length of the Cuban coast
to Pinar del Rio province. where We
placed the remainder of our cargo in
the hands of General Diaz, who COM
mands our forces in that part of the
island.
Trouble with Spaniards? OF course,
but Spaniards are not clever enough to
stop an expedition if they tried, and it
never seemed to me they tried very
hard.

Everyone in Cuba knew of the Maine

underground railway is almost as quick
as the telegraph. Garcia is now besieg-

Whereas. Monsieur lola has been aided
by H. Perreux in boldly printing what NJ
lola wrote, and who is now sustaining
such expression by his own course.
Resolved That the press club of Chi
cago. the gathering ground and recognized
center of the journalists and authors of
Chicago, in a republic which has been
close TO France in many things, declares
its profound regard and sentiment of
helpfulness to both the great novelist and
to the editor who published his letter. de-
clares. too, its belief in the justice Of the
cause advanced, so far as il demanded
the free expression of thought for the
good of humanity and its demand that all
trials of all men should be spoken to the
world
Furthermore. the press club of Chicago
wishes to express its confidence in the
ultimate verdict of great people whs an
there comes further reflection upon wrong
som times done by the patriotic but too
impetuous upper current.
The press club of Chicago congratu-
lates II. lola and Nj. Perreux.

Philadelphia. Feb. 2S.-Asked as to what
would be the probable result if the report
of the board of inquiry should show that
the Spanish government officials were
implicated in plot to destroy the Maine.
eX-United States Senator George F. Ed

assumption was too horrible to think
about. unless it was finally shown to be
necessary.
Spain could not afford to do any such
thing" he said, she would forever lose
all honor among the nations of the earth.
The strained relations which have ex-
listed between the United States and Spain
made 1t incumbent upon Srain to take
the greatest precautions at% nst accident
to our shiDs when they VI: Vi the port
of Havana, and it is only faf to assume
that Spain did her duty. Until more facts
are Obtainable from an unquestionahle
