day he attended jai alai, or Spanish basket
ball game.
The arrival Of the fnancier has caused quite
a commotion in Havana, where he visits lot
the first time. He is the topic Of the day, and
many guesses are made as to his mission mere.
One story is to the effect that he contemplates
the purchase Of a steamship line, which has
color of truth from the fact that Mr.. Morgan
is guest at the home Of Sefior Herrera, owner
of the Herrera line of steamships. Another re-
port has it that Mr.. Morgan intends buying all
the railroads in Cuba. among them that or the
Cuba Company, Havana to Santiago. just COM
pleted by an American syndicate. Mr.. Morgan
will make a trip the line in the first Pull
man special car that ever left Havana. He will
probably meet Jacob Schiff. now in Santiago,
who is also Interested in the Cuba Company
road. II am here simply for rest and to see
the island" said Mr.. Morgan. in relation to the
many rumors to his plans.

SAYS IRELAND MUST BE A REPUBLIC.

James Rcdy secretary Of the New-York COM

a declaration of principles which will be ofncialy

held in all the principal cities of the country in
commemoratiOn of the birth of Robert Emmet, the
125th anniversary of which is on March T.
After reiteratinG th6 belief that Ireland is des-
tined be independent nation and that to gain
this end she is justified in recourse TO the sword
the declaration continues i'll part:
We ass"rt that the S"ttlement of the land 9ucs-
tiun promised by the British Government will be
attempted only because England fears In her COM
ing troubles tile hostility of the race in and out or
Ireland and hopes secure peace and loyalty ny
huvint ella 3 at the expense of the entire people
We further that nothing or this kind can
or will prevent the from keeping up the nght
the establishment of an irish republic
There is evidence OF ? revival OF the militant
spirit in Ireland and this spirit has been aroused
in the Irish race IN America to greater extent
than ever. England's mask Of friendship Is put on
to enable her to fil1h American territory and de-
stroy the Monroe Doctrine while pretending TO
uphold II. 49,, -,
We firmly believe that the British Empire has
entered on the downward path leading TO final dis
membcrmPnt and that wise ana resoIute use or
