CUBAN REBELS APPEAL
TELL AMERICANS THEY WANT AN
OPEN FIELD.
SETTLE THEIR own FIGHT
Present Their Case to Americans,
"Who Believe in the Liberties
of All Peoples"

Havana-A correspondent with the
insurgents in Santa Clara province
has received by courier from General
Guzman the following:
Headquarters in the Field, Central
Andrieta Plantation, Scar Cruces, San
ia Clara Province.-To the American
People: Difficulties have arisen among
among dispositions of lierty and law,
OF of peace. We do not ask for SYM
pathy; We ask only an open field, that
we may settle with Cubans and for
Cubans the issues that we have Joined.
There has come a time in the his
tory of this republic when the only
way to secure a permanent and right
eous peace and safe guaranteed con-
stitutional liberty is by war. Under the
empty name of a republic the shackles
of the overthrown Spanish dominion
have again been imposed upon us. Our
constitution has been cast aside with
contemptuous egotism, the royal laws
Of the ancient regime have been re-
viyed and issued to us with the very
forms and words of the royal Spanish
decree. Absolutism was again fasten-
ing itself upon Cuba, and in the more
dangerous guise of formulas of a re-
publican system that was but the shell
Of democratic ideals.
ut has become necessary to resort
to arms-not for war if it can possibly
be avoided, but as a demonstration be-
fore the court of last resort that the
spirit that for a century has fought
against royal oppression still endures
and will suffer again the hardships of
campaigns rather than yield the fruits
of hard won liberties. By a vast ma
jority Cuba is with us.
"If the present administration in
Havana so chooses it will be war no
longer.
Shall we be tricked by commission
ers from Palma and armistices whose
authority and validity he then denies?
"The intervention by the United
States we do not wish. This is our
own Cuban question; a question of our
liSuIo anu liDCIllS6 lldI we ~OuISGlVGS
must settle. And in considering the
question we ask consideration of the
fact that it is one fraught with more
consequences to Cuba than of momen-
tary commercial loss or gain.
"The rights and properties of Ameri-
cans will be respected by u forces.
THAT all in Cuba will suffer as a
result of the depression due to war
is unfortunate and inevitable, but it
Is the Cubans, Jul countrymen, who
will suffer most, and with their pat
riotism they are gladly accepting the
sacrifice; for out of it will emerge the
former rights and liberties of consti-
tutional government.
ITO those Americans who believe in
the liberties of all peoples and that
right and justice should triumph, even
over peace, we present our case and
ask their sympathy"

TO ACCOUNT
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
AMERICAN MISSION TO
FEE.
SULTAN OF MOROCCO
Must Pay American Claims and Mete
Out Punishment for Offenses
Against American
Citizens.

London.-A dispatch from Tangier
to the Times says:
There is a tendency to underes-
innate the Importance of the Ameri-
can mission to Fee. Minister Gum.
mers will not only present his creden-
tials, but also will lay before the sui
tan his governments views of the ex.
listing state of anarchy in Morocco, and
demand the payment of American
claims, and punishment for offenses
against American citizens.
THE maghesen also will doubtless
be reminded of the sultan's promise to
speedily punish Raisuli for the seiz-
ure and detention of Mr.. Perdicaris."
Americas Hands Not Tied.
THE dispatch says that the position
of America renders her action in these
matters easier than in the case OF
European powers, the hands Of whose
representatives are tied by the polit.
ical situation in Europe.
Americas relations with Morocco
outside the Algeciras protocol are
clearly defined by treaty, and the sui
tan's intrigues with other powers will
certainly not be accepted as an excuse
for infringement of these treaty rights.
Only by firm action can the sultan
and maghesen be made to realize their
real position and responsibility"
IT." the dispatch adds, "the Amerl.
can minister succeeds in bringing
about this, he will deserve the thanks
and congratulations of all who are
at present suffering from the inca.
pacity and arrogance of the existing
regime at Fez."

DR.. Wheeler, president of the Amer.
lean Institute of Electrical Engineers,
in a speech at It's twenty-third annual
convention. set up a high ideal for his
profession. He maintained that the
engineer, handling great forces of ma
ture, is as much under obligation to
his client as the clergyman, the doctor
and the lawyer, and ought therefore to
heed the words of Francis Bacon: 81
hold every man a debtor to his profes.
sion; from the which, as men of course
do seek to receive countenance and
profit, so ought they Of duty to en-.
deavor themselves by way Of amends
to be a help and ornament thereto"
