President Palma also has imprisoned
without judicial proceedings members
of the Liberal party because they
voiced their protests against his dicta,
torial conduct.
"The Liberals have made continued
peaceful appeals that this injustice be
righted, but to all these the govern
nent turned deaf ear. Denied the
constitutional rights for which the Gu
bans fought, bled and died for nearly
half a century, we decided that our
one recourse was again to take up
arms. We now ask only one thing
and that is that the illegal and fraudu-
lent election of last December be an
nulled and new election held, at

ing, the proclamation says, that

GRIEVANCE OF THE REBELS
As Stated by the Revolutionary Junta
at New York.

New York, Sept. IS. - The Cuban
revolutionary junta here has issued a
proclamation giving the Liberal or in
surgent reasons for taking up arms
against the Palma government. The
proclamation says: in the first place
this movement must not be confound-
ed with the internecine strife that so
often disturbs the peace of the repub-
lies Of South and Central America.
In these latter movements the one OBJ
Ject Of the leader is to gain control
of the presidency. With us it is not
so. We have been careful not to over
draw the seriousness Of the political
situation in Cuba, and have made no
charges that cannot be fully substanti-
ated by unbiased investigators.
I'VE charge that President Palma
obtained his election to Office through
fraud and intimidation and by the de-
NAL to the Liberals to their right of
suffrage.
eve charge that the government Of
PRESIDENT Palma was directly RESPONSE
bic for the killing Of Colonel Enrique
Villuendas, member of the house of
representatives. at Cienfuegos, on Sept.
%, 1905.
I'VE charge that President Palma
has usurped the powers and functions
Of the governing bodies of the munich
palities and has annulled, arbitrarily
and without warrant of law, the cleo
tons of Liberal officials, displacing
them with members of his own politi-
cal party. the Moderates
I'VE charge that he has in like man
ner removed from the bench judges
who refused to act in their judicial
capacity according to his dictation.
