Havana, Sept. 1S.-The Cuban National
League. in combination with the Cuban
National party, will issue tomorrow a
proclamation along the following lines:
Fellow Patriots: Union and concord
| are absolutely necessary. II Is most i'm
portant to remember that there is some
one watching carefully what we do. II is
most important to remember that there
are elements among us perpetually striv-
ing to bring to life whatever could injure
Cuban prestige and weaken the argu-
ments of those who contend that the Gu
! bans are able 10 govern themselves. New
| er forget that it is the aim of such enc
mics of our national life to prove that
we need a master.
| THE time mas arrived for action, for
the action of party willing to be judged
| by results. Honor, dignity, decorum and
! eXpedency demand that passion should he
drowned. and all forms of self-seeking put
aside. THE time has arrived when every
man should occupy the position he is best
fitted for by capacity or experience. The
basis Of our party is to realize the purpose
of the revolution by obtaining absolute in
| dependence and the constitution of a re-
public under democratic government with
| ample decentralization with respect to the
provinces. leaving to them the manage
ment of their own affairs, subject TO a cen
trail control.
| 1T is above all. necessary 10 keep alive
the personality of Cuba until these ends
are attained and the best means is the
/ union of Cubans in an endeaVOr, with the
| help of the intervening government, 10
| recognize the country and 10 secure the
PRONUNCIATION of laws needed to put an end
to the existing confusion and the anarchy
that is now devouring Cuba. Our pro-
posals would leave an associated with us
at liberty to join any political party whose
programme is not hostile to the fOregoine
| declaration of principles and to the efforts
of our combined organization
The executive committee dominates the
| following ticket 20 be elected al the next
general meeting as provincial officers;
| President, Salvador Cisneros; vice pres
idents, Gems. Mayia Rodriguez, Lacret and
Pierra; secretaries, Seniors Geodezo and
Coronado, and treasurer, Senior BernaL
| AT a memorial meeting held last nlght
| in Bejucal, after the eXhumation of the
| remains of Gen. Antonio Maceo and Fran
cisco Gomez, several members of the rev.
dictionary party spoke strongly in favor OF
| Gen. Maxine Gomez as the leader OF the
Cubans in recognizing the country.
Gen. Pierra, however, said the Cuban
National League would not recognize any
particular individual, being fully convinc-
ed that there was no one now before the
public who represented the feelings and
aspirations of the whole population. These
feelings and aspirations, he declared,
could only be focused in a collection of
individuals representing various sections
and interests. He made a strong appeal
to the women of Cuba to make their po-
| Htical opinions felt
