Aneleton Texas, March 3l.--A red ho
Cuban meeting was held in this cit,
| "Wednesday night. The following resolu.
lions were introduced by A. S. Hill, and
passed unanimously:
/ We beg to offer few sentiments cx-
presslye Of our feelings toward Spain and
4 Cuba, to-wit:
| l. we believe Spain is Incapable of self
I government, for the reason that she has
1 paced herself outside Of the pale Of civil
ization and civilized governments.
:. she has through her agencies in Cuba,
/ acting under orders from The home gov-
ernment, collected together thousands of
helpless mothers daughters, sons and In
nocent babes, TO starve. How well they
nave succeeded the reading public knows.
II is an undspnted fact that already ZOO.
00u have died by utter starvation, under
the very eyes OF the rich and opulent OF
SIiain's cruel government
3. That we deplore the situation from the
depths of cur hearts.
T. That nowhere and at no time in the
history OF the world, ancient or modern
past or present has anything like 1t ever
happened, and yet this is all done at our
very doors, under our eyes, so TO speak
Trey have begged us, called and prayed TO
us, as a civilized government for help and
.. That we call upon our representatives
in congress and upon our government to
declare Cuba free and Independent, placing
her where her patriots have striyen for the
past two years to place her.
D. That we depore the idea of Cuba pay
ing anything for her liberties to Spain.
Z. That we believe the Spanish govern
ment and rule should forever cease even
in their own country They should be
wiped OH the face OF the earth as gov
eminent.
s. That we oppose our government taxi
Ing any indemnity whatever from Spain
Tor treachery in destroying the battleshlp
Maine and her lamented crew All tho
money Spain could command at horne or
abroad could not atone or dry the tears OF
the mothers and sisters of that crew. There
are some things that money can not buy
D. That we are ready to avenge the de.
sfruction of that innocent crew who. with.
cut the least warning, was sent into eter-
nifty by the treacherous order of such a
government.
10, That If there is another government
on earth 50 debased and 80 jnhumsn as 10
take the side Of Spain. she ought TO suffer
the humiliation that Spain so richly de-
serves. That we stand ready when called
upon by cur government to maintain our
nonor and compel tyrants to respect our
rights and the rights OF humanity.
IL. That we tender our sympathes and
tears TO the grief-stricken families OF Inc
Names crew. We send cur greetings 10
General Gomez and the patriotic army OF
Cuba in this their hour Of need
