BosToN. July 17.-William LLOYD Garrison
addressed tonight new organization OF COLI
ored sstlpnle. known as the Boston Colored
Auxiliat ~ the National Anti-Imperialistio
League. Tg,ting by saying how fitting II
was to address meeting Of colored
men on the question OF liberty. as
they were examples OF what freedom had ac-
compshed in n race. he attacked President Mo-
Kinley and the Republican rarty. He referred
to the loyalty Of the colored men since the war
to the party ot Lincoln and Sumner. and to the
great change which had OF recent years come
over the party. which. he said. with all possible
power In its hands permitted the constitutional
amendment to become a dead letter south
OF Mason and DiXons line. and allowed the
lynching of innocent negroes. a crime which
the annals Of barbarism could not surpass.
The party Of william Mckinley. to day" he
said. " resembles far more the party OF James
Buchanan than of Abraham Lincoln"
Passing to the original aggression. as he
termed 1t. in the Philippines. he said the party
which formerly loosened the chains OF an en-
them on the necks OF Agunaldo and
his brave band Of fighting patriots: He

not as readily turn their rifles on the colored
men Of this country should they dare to
stand up for their rights. Tho speaker
referred to the receptions planned for
Admiral Dewey as endeavors to distract
awful crime which was being committed. In
closing Mr.. Garrison told his hearers that II
the imperialists denounced them as traitors to
sling back the epthet and to meet all argu-
ment with denunciation.
DR. Jerome II. Riley Of Washington, Presi-
dent of the National Colored Anti-1mperial-
istic League made an address on the rights OF
colored men in general and those Of the South
in particular. aud denounced the Republican
party for the war in the Philippines.
He became so bitter that the crowd refused to
stand it. and finally Isaac II. Allen. the former
member of the Governors Council. made a
warm defence of the Republican party. Reso-
buttons were finally. passed denouncing lynch
ing and the Philippine war.

where he has presided over a number OF
famous extradition cases He is 80 years old.
but is remarkably active both mentally and
physically. 1t an interview he dwelt
upon the changes that had occurred
since his appointment. the most re-
markable being the increase in the
number OF extraditions. Thirty years ago.
he said. there were no extraditon treaties ex-
cept with France and the United States. Now
Great Britain has such treaties with nearly
every country.
He noted the wonderful decrease in crimes Of
brutality and violence. but said there was an
increase in the number OF crimes for which
brains and ingenuity were required. He as
crbed this to the improved education
given by the board schools. He was
certain that unless means were taken to coun-
teract the effects OF education upon the minds
OF the criminay inclined crimes Of clever
nature would greatly increase.

HAVANA. July 17.-An interesting question
involving the ownership OF copper mine came
to the official notice OF Mayor Hyatt OF Guiana
bacoa to-day. when he was requested to send
police to mine near Las Minas, which was
purchased few months ago by Hugh J. Reilly
and Gustavus Solomon OF New York. and
which IL now being worked by them.
Yesterday three Americans went to the mine
and showed a paper purporting to he claim
to the mine issued In 1891 in favor Of Span
lard named Mufloz. who had signed over his
alleged rights to the men who presented the
paper. The latter were driven of the place by
Reilly and Soomon's men, who displayed re-
volvers Mr.. Hyatt was then requested to send
the police. Reilly maintains that the Muhoz
claim. even II 1t ever had any legal value. has
lapsed. and as he owns the land he intends
going ahead with his mining operations.
The Western Railway OF Havana has bought
land. and will extend It's line nifty kilometres

Dispatches from Puerto Principe indicate
that great dissatisfaction has been caused
there by the order from Washington attaching
Puerto Principe to the province Of Santiago.
The hatred between the two provinces is very
strong. For years cattle raisers in Puerto Prin-
cipe have alleged that raiders from Santiago
have stolen their animals. Meetings are now
being held to protest against the order. and
Government employees threaten to resign II 1t
is not rescnded.
II to-day's registration OF Spaniards in
Havana can be taken as an example only
few OF them will seek to retain their nation
alty under the provisions Of the Treaty Of
Paris. There were only fourteen registered
here. This. however caused no surprise. as 1t
was not Anticipated that many OF them would
appear at the registry office.
