they were foully murdered by orders from England. Three Of them were shot without even the pretense of a drumhead court-martial, and at least one of them who had been grievously wounded at the battle of Dublin. and who by reason thereof could not stand on his feet. was dragged from his prison cot. propped up by English qhoulS. while the British firing squad riddled his already wounded boiy with a fusillade Of bullets. Thus we behold the dark and bloody deeds of the Turk and the Mexican doubly dis counted in fcrociousness by English tyrants. who gladly feed with Ire lands blood inc cannibal appetite" of their savage and revolting natures.
 We point to Pablo Lopez. one of Villas bandits. who was given a month for his wounds 10 neal by Car ranza before being shot. Not so with Connolly. one of the signers of the Irish Declaration of Independence. who, in his wounded condition, was bolstered up and immediately shot like wild beast by so-called Anglo Saxon civilization.
 As another instance of British Anglo-Saxon civilization. we point to the Revolutionary war of this Amer ican republic. when England hired the savage Indians to massacre and scalp Americans at so much per head, the amount of reward being determined by inc number of American scalps delivered by the rcd men.
 We also point to the War of 1872, when the same despotic power wan tonly and maliciously burned the cap i;ol buildings at Washington, and sought by every possible means to again enslavc the American people until General Andrew Jackson, at the
 Battle Of New Orleans, with his Ken lucky and Tennessee rifemen. deliv- cred this country for all time to come from British aggression and despot- ism.
 Therefore. Be It Resolved. that wc urge all men and women of the Irish
 race to contribute liberally at this crucial time 10 alleviate the distress Of our kindred in the olI land; Resolved further that we are in full accord with the attitude of the Irish race towards the oprrossor of Ireland as expressed at mass meetings re- contly held in New York. Philadelphia. Boston. Baltimore. Washington. Chi cago, San Francisco. Los Angeles. and other places iii the United States. Tn conjunction with our kindred all over the world. we denounce English mis- rule in Ireland as the most dcspotic exercised in this day and age by any civilized power of the earth. We call upon Irishmen and descendants of
 Irisnmen everywhere to arouse and bestir themselves in behalf of pros trate Ireland. and to oppose English tyranny with might and main, to the end that this modern Babylon which ruthlessly shot and killed 16 Irish prisoners of war in the year of our Lord. lol6, may be driven forever from the land of the shamrock. Resolved that copy Of these reso, lutionS be published in the local pa pers, in The Leader of San Francisco, the Los Angeles Examiner, and Irish World. and Gallic American of New
 York; and that a copy thereof be for warded to Hon. Henry F. Ashurs,. U. s. senator, Washington, D. C.
