This was stoutly denied by the other and they came to blows. The police, hearing the racket, came into the place and arrested bcth of the parties and took
 them to the jail. Now, everybody in the room knew what had happened and as the principals came Of prominent families, the matter was common talk.

LITTLE HELP TO THE CUBANS,

The programme rendered at a bene-
mt entertainment given at Mozart hall
yeste1 day afternoon in behalf of tho
starving Cubans' was a good one and
Well worth the price of admission
The audience present numbered less
than 100, and one of the committee
stated that only one-ffth Of that
number were paid admissions. All of
the numbers on the programme were
contributed. and yet the committee
was obliged to so down in their peck
cts for hail rent and incidental ex-
penSes.
Louis Nash, one of the committee.
announced that he had sent notices of
the benefit to ifty-one ministers in
the city with the request that the an
nouncement be made in the churches
yesterday morning.
Mayor Doran, who presided, said the
cause was worthy one, and that the
Cubans were sadly in need of relief.
The day was not far distant when the
Cubans would get their independence.
and he hoped it would soon come.
Judge John w. Willis, in a scholarly
address. traced the history of the ISL
and from the time it was discovered
by Columbus. So fertile was the soil
that the sugar cane in the lOWlands
furnished at least three crops eacn
year. The mineral resources of the
island were vast and varied. The eli
mate was admirably adapted for the
health and happiness of human OccU-
pants, yet its history had been marked
by signs grOanS, and blC0dshed.
From the first hour of Spanish rule
Cuba had the greatest misfortune. mis-
government. No part of the period OF
| Spanish rule had been under a liberal.
enlightened or progressive policy. Sew
enty years after the date of discovery
100000 natives had been eXterminated.
Columbus found them happy. His
cOuntrymen reduced them to slavery,
and slavery ended in death. Deter
mined to maintain slavery, the Span
iards had imported large numbers OF
negroes to the island, and One-third
of the population of the island was of
African descent.
In February, 1895, began the insur-
rection now in progress. The war had
| cost the Spanish government $4OO,OOO
600, and Spain was in sore straits. The
suffering in Cuba had now reached Sc
| rious proportions. If public sentiment
| was aroused and backed by public
opinion the war would be brought to
speedy close. Public opinion was
stronger than armies or naVies, and IL
the United States would say to Spain
that which was a farce when it began
and which is now tragedy must end,
1t would.
The recognition Of the belligerency
of Cuba was a question of law, and 1t
was a good thing for the cause that 1t
had not been recognized. Americans
wanted to see Cuba free.
