President Ethan Allen Denounces Spain’s Proposal of Autonomy. URGES INSURGENTS FRIENDS 10 ACTION Congress Will Be Asked to Extend Rights of Belligerents. SPAIN’S WAR TALK A BLUFF NEW YORK, November 22.—President Ethan Allen of the Cuban League has is- sued the following circular: To the Members of the Cuban League of the Unitea States: The Cuban problem, which so long has rested as a blight upon the conscience of our people, approaches its solution. Inde- pendence for the suffering patriots now within our timely action rounds out their years of trial with deserved recompense. This great consummation the American peopie should forthwith demand from their political representatives. The cowardice of wealth secucing our officials to inaction while murder has been done, the insincer- ity of rulers inventing special pleas to cover their treachery to national duty, the open and ugnecessary interference with the legal commerce of the country as an act of grace to brutal Spain and making us her ally against those following our his- toric teacling, have all run their courses to the wounding of national pride and to our utterly exhavsted patience. But time and the Cuban sword have brought the crisis which foreruns a final cure in Cuban independence. This is the hour of Ameri- ca’s opportunity. Effective work can be done which, if well done, will go far to excuse our past neglect. Congress is the objective point. Cuba shculd be put on equal terms with Spain regarding supplies from our burdened magazines. Fiour, cat- tle, horses and arms from American soil by night and day go in a steady rush to the Cuban shores for the support of the forces of monarchical Spain; none of these cen go hence to feed the starving patriots of republican Cuba. The soldiers we have thus fed use the life we give them to erase from the earth an entire population by Geeds of horror whose recitals freeze the heart of the civilized world. Unmoved, we have so far heard the wail of the victims or have furnished new blades for Spanish hands to insure the work of Cuban deci- mation. Belligerent Rights for Cubn. Belligerent rights to Cuba will quickly change this brutal panorama. The Senate has already ordered its verdict for such rights, and the lower house should respond before the new year comes in. The Cuban League of the United States now calls upon its entire family of five hundred branches to unite as one voice in a demand upon their congressional repre- sentatives to vote this way. All other or- ganized friends, and also individuals, of whom there are hundreds of thousands sympathizing with Cuba, are urged to the same activity. Following belligerent rights, independence is assured. Be not de- ceived by the ignorance or the hypocrisy of those who argue against this remedy. There are other cures, but belligerent rights is now the most available and the most effective. This will enable Cuba to draw support from us, as Spain has done, and on equal terms. Our neutrality laws cover belligerents with the same shield. Cunning sympathizers with Spanish bar- barity affect to see danger to Cuba in this, but the facts and the laws expose their insincerity. With the grant of belligerency from us, American generosity and patriot- ism would crowd Cuba with hillocks of munitions of war for the patriots and for the utter destruction of her oppressors. We are told that this gives to Spain the right to search our ships. Let it be grant- ed; but what damage can result to our commerce, when this search must be lim- ited to the coast of Cuba, and then for the contrabands of war prohibited after Span- ish proclamation of a blockade, which, by the way, has never yet been given? Unrea- sonable or unnecessary search, clearly for the annoyance of American commerce, is us much forbidden after belligerency as be- fore. Let such baseless apprehensions die in the utterance. Since no official notice of war nor of blockade of Cuban ports has been given to this nation, there is not, nor has there been, any legal restriction upon our free commerce with even the insur- gents; yet, as a matter of grace and as a special favor to Spain, our executives have interfered with our peaceful and legal com- merce, to the great injury of our citizens. New Mei dis Necessary. Is it not time to change these methods? With an executive who knows his duty and is willing to do it, all this may be rightly changed as our statutes are now formu- lated. In the absence of any official knowledge of war in Cuba, call home our police of the seas, and permit legitimate trade to run its course. This policy of “doing nothing” with our gunboats to trammel our trade, will set Cuba free, let- ting loose, as it wculd, the floodgates of America. generosity toward the insur- gents. But as this plain road of duty seems too much to expect from American execu- taves, then belligerent rights, when granted by Congress, will surely bring the jetory to Cuba, for which the heart of Christen- dom has prayed. But autonomy is interposed to stay the hand of destiny. Too late! Too late! Spain, by pertidious diplomacy, now tries to win the triumph her sword has failed to gain. It is an impudent attempt to repeat his- tory. Twenty years ago practically this same offer of autonomy was made, and, yielding to the tempter, the insurgents then laid down their arms. How basely that promise was betrayed by Spain the world knows and the present revolution certifies. This scheme of iniquity surely cannot succeed the second time. Spain ex- tends the hand of pretended kindness be- cause she Is compelled to do so; and, grant- ing as little as possible, she will fulfill even that under compulsion only. When this compulsion is dissolved by peace, then wiil come the betrayal, and then again another revolution. Spain is on her knees; why not keep her there, powerless for future mis- chief to mankind. Over the past she seeks to spread a garment spangled with pledges of repentance; but with this she cannot give back the lives she has needlessly d stroyed, nor blot from memory the unut- terable horrors which crimson her record. The viper is known to exist still beneath the cloth of tinsel. It would be the most wicked chapter of the century to permit rehabilitation to Spain in Cuba. The bur- glar foiled in his villainy is not the man to place in charge of the bank he would have rufned. And the American, whether an official or a private citizen, who lends his aid to this scheme of Spanish perfidy, jeop- ardizes his reputation as an honest man. Autonomy is only another name for impo- sition and fraud. 80 say those who have the best claim to speak for Cuban. inter- ests. The statesmen of Cuba repudiate it. Independence or Death. Her commanders in the field say “Inde- pendence or death.” And lately the extles of Cuba, who together represent more than half of the property values of the entire island, merchants, bankers and planters who today bear the burdens of the war by their contributions to its treasury, at a mass meeting held in this city, in very de- cided language declared that no offer from Spain will be considered short of absolute independence. The threat of war is put forth at times to check the generous impulses of our peo- ple. Here the insincere craven is betrayed again by the absurdity of the proposition. There cannot be any war with Spain be- cause we grant belligerent rights, since in all history this has never been considered as a casus belli between nations. Spain granted belligerent rights to the confed- erate states, but our nation did not treat it even as a grievance. We are a peaceful people, and do not want war. No man who is above the brute in feeling does. But there are some things worse than war, and among them is a cowardly subserviency to such national crimes as enacts in Cuba. But even if cause for war existed Spain cannot war on us, and will not. From her nature she will bully, from her necessity she will threaten, but strike she never will. Her vessels must cross the ocean to assail us. With a coaling capaci- ty for an ocean voyage only, what can they The new styles of ’98 are here from the eminent makers of the world.

ETHAN ALLEN, President of the Cuban League of the U. S. ' - JUDGE F Alleged Brutal Treatment of a Marine —Noted Officer Arraigned. The police-trial court, with Judge Pugh on the bench, held a large session Saturday, several cases being detailed, with members of the force figuring as defendants. The most important hearing was that re- sulting from the arrest November 2 last, on 8th street southeast, of Thomas Geary, a private in the United States Marine Corps. Policemen William L. Santmyer, L. A. Smoot, W. T. Clinton, J. B. Smith, Charles F. Osterman and G. W. Mason were charged with brutally and unneces- sarily clubbing Geary. Capt. Frank H. Harrington acted as prosecuting attorney, while John Moss of Hillsdale appeared in the capacity of attorney for the policemen. It was admitted that Geary was very drunk and disorderly on 8th street near the marine barracks about 7 o'clock the evening of November 2, and he was sent to jail and fined the following day in the Po- lice Court. According to the testimony offered before Judge Pugh, Geary was taken in charge by several marines, who were holding him down when Policemen Santmyer, Osterman and another officer ed the scene. rethey shoved aside the marines and took charge of the drunken man, dragging him across the street on nis breast. On reaching the middle of the street, Geary, it was testified, was struck on the head with a club. Wher ne reached the other side of the str-et, with a stalwart policeman at each ar’n, said more than one witness, Geary was again clubbed unmer- cifully. ae Policeman Santmyer’s ciub slipped from bis hand once, it was said, and the blow he had aimed for Géary’s leg was of such force that the club was propelled some distance away. 9. 9 svaccoraine to Erigpie Wiack of the Marine Corps, while Geary was lying on his back and held in that $csitfon, he was clubbed al it constant oy ‘ten minutes by cer- he policemen. :i!
