) 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1897. CUBA LIBRE [Continued from First Page.| strong, of the few against the many; of the oppressed and down-troaden and the tax-rid- den against the oppressor and taxmaster and the taxgatherer. Itisthe old, oid story, found upon count- less pages of the world’s history, sung by bards and repeated by mothers to their children, of all that life holds dear—the sweet song of civil and political liberty, The first proposition thatwe have to con- sider is whether the Cubans have the right to set up housekeeping for themselves and take their piace among the nations. The second, Has the Government of Spain any right to maltreat American citizens? [Cries of “Nol Not”] It seems unnecessary to speak these ques- tions to American people, but after the fact that now for more than two years the Govern- ment of the Nation has stood supinely by and turned a deaf ear to the cry of her cilizens in tne dungeons of Cuba. Itseems unnecessary, but after the fact, well certfied to by the American Consul at Havana, thet the Spanish authorities have been in the habit of seizing American citizens, and in the face of the treaty stipulations with this country throwing them into the dismal dungeons for more than 100 hours—yes for more than three months—it is not unneces- sary. 1t may seem unnecessary to state these facts but for the fact that we cannot forget the many acts of crueity that have been permitied t0 go unpunished. Against the prison-house registers of such as perish@from di-ease and negleet we flud the inscription, “Died from Dneturel causes.” Let me call your attention to the other ques- tion presented.. Snould the Cuban patriots be permitted to set up housekeeping for themse ves and be permijted to take & place among the nations, independen festo, the Declaration of Independence, our ers being about to sever thei- relations British Gove: nt, we find good cause for their action. the Cubans good reason for severing their relations with Spain? The applause that greeted Mr. Jordan's ion showed that his audience thought they had. The remainder of his speech was devoted to showing the good cause by statistical testimony. He demon- strated that the Cubans were taxed with. out proper representation and that the taxes were squandered in paying the in- terest on Spain’s national debt, the sal- aries of useless officials and in many other ways, while lictle was used in lifiing the burden off the isziand. He was heartily applauded at the close of his oratorical effort. At the conclusion of Mr. Jordan’s re- marks Mr. Jones, secreiary of the San Francisco Cuban Leaguae, handed Mayor Poeian the following telegram, which was read to the audience: NEW YORK, March 20, 1897. John H. Jones, ent, Metropolitan Temple, San Francisco: The souls of Washington and + bis compatriots'are marching on. Friends of Cuba rejoice that her independence is near. The people are faithful to the obligations of our revolution, though cowardly officiale hesi- tate. Men shall live and bratal dynas must die. ETHAN ALLEN, President Cuban League of the United States. Henry E. Highton then took the plat- form. He said he was glad such an audi- ence was present, but on such an occa- sion bad expected the very streets would be alive with people. After speaking in the same patriotic strain as the preceding speakers, he offered the resofution nf the evening. It was put to a vote by Mayor Phelan. An upreariovs cry of “Aye” came i sponse, while three personsshouted * The Mayor said he hoped those mis- guiged ones would remain afterward and be convinced of their error. He then in- troduced Hon. Samuel M. Sbortridge, whose appesrance upon the rosirum celled forth a spontaneous burst of ap- plause. Mr. Shortridge spoke as follow: Because I believe in lberty, because I be- iileve in seli-government, I am here, and not sshained to be here [applause], toanswer those " gantlemen who voted in the negative on that resolution. What does that star-spangled benner mean? ([Cries of “Liberty!”] For what did our forefathers bleed and die unless it might be for self-government and freedom 1o worship God as they chose? For what did the foremotbers of this Republic, the wives and the daughters of the Revolutionary period, give their sons, their fathers, their husbands to die unless it was for liberty and for seli- government? [Applause.] In tnese weak and piping times of peace, this timid, this sordid, this slmost cruel and material time of civllization, men torget, men turn away from the holy cause that inspired our fathers in the darx days of the Revolution. [Applause.] The demands of trade, the prices of flour, or tobacco, or potatoes, 00 much en- gage the high thougnts of the people of this age. The esuse of liberty, the cause of sell-gov- ernment, is jusi as important, is just as sacred, is just as holy aswhen it was cham- pioned by Patrick Henry, by Semuel Adams, or when it was defended by the immortal pen of Thomas Jefferson. [Applause.] Is the theory upon Whieh our country is founded correct? Are all men born.free and equal? s man entitled to self-government? Does civil- ization best flourish when men and women +nd children are free? Ifso, if the teachings of statesmen, if the writings of our great leaders, if the experience of our country can answer those questions—then I say thatitis for the interest not only of this country, but for the patriots who are fighung and dying to-night, that they too should be free. Idonot forget, Mr. Mayor and chairman, I do not forget certain legal principles or rules by whiclz we must be guided. I am aware that there exists & treaty of peace with Spain, &nd I csution you, my countrymen, that the treaty entered 1o Dy this country with any foreign country is the supreme law of the Jand. 1tis assupreme as the constitution of the United States itself. Nordo I forget that upon the statute books there exist certain laws, certain provisions which sre all em- braced under the Idea of the neutrality laws, the purposes of which laws are to prevent the individual citizen from embroiling his own country in trouble with the affairs of the country with which we haye s treaty existing. Nor do I forget the sacred, overshadowing doctrine enunciated by President Mouroe. {Great applause.] What can we, therefore, as citizens, legally do to assist those who are struggling for that which we enjoy? What can we do to give them hope, to give tnem cheer? What may this country or what can this country do nation without violating international law, without violating the treaty? Or what may we do as ciiizens without violating the neu- trality lows 10 assist this country that is strug- g.ing upward into the light of freedom? In spite of the apathy of the last administration, 1o use uo more severe term, I say that i is my judgment and the judgment of the vast ma- Jority of the people that there have been many ‘occatfons within the last two years when the Government of the United States might have recognized the belligerency of the Cuban in- surgents, or revoiutionists, without violating either the treaty or any international rule of law. [Tremendous cheers.] 1say that those men are Dot s mere handful They heve been and they are to-dey revolutionists, asserting the inherent right of revolution, and there has existed in thatisland for nearly or perbaps more thau iwo years an actual, open state of war,and ‘when that ex ceording toevery textbook upon the subject, this Government could rec- ognize the Cubans as belligerents, means a vast doni in & siruggle of U acier.

WHEREAS, For two centuries and a half or thereabouts after the discovery of America both North and South America were dominated by European monarchies and empires; and WHEREAS, Since the declaration of independence and the formation of the Governmentof the United States, by pur- chase, by treaties and by successful revolutions, of which the last and among the most important was that in the vast territory of Brazil, monarchical and imperial rule has been rapidly superseded in America by republican Governments, largely founded on the principles of our own Republic, until towards the close of the nineteenth century, with the exception of the Canadian Con- federation, itself having a recognized autonomy of its own, nearly the whole of the North and South American Continents is occupied by republics; and WHEREAS, By these successive and extending movements, which have acquired a substantial footing in Europe itself through the establishment of the Republic of France and by various modifications in other European Governments, the funda- mental conception of our political institutions and the inherent and growing power of our system have spread and become rooted throughout the civilized world, until the rights of the masses of the people everywhere to protect and control themelves and their property by their own votes and through political organizations founded and perfected by and for themselves, has se- cured widespread recognition, and is fast advancing toward the liberation of humanity from caste, from privilege and from every form of monarchical and imperial despotism; and 4 WHEREAS, In respect to their own history and development and the results flowing therefrom, and already largely crys- tallized into fact, the people of the United States, Amarican in name and character, necessarily have sympathized, and now sympathize with every aspiring community everywhere which has striven or may strive for individual liberty and for politica l independence; and WHEREAS, The monarchy of Spain, withdrawn and driven from every part of the continents of North and South America, still retains nominal possession of the island of Cuba, ‘““the gem of the Antilles,” in close proximity to the southeast- ern portion of the United States, and our own citizens have large commercial and other interests in that island; and WHEREAS, After previous attempts to secure. for themselves personal freedom and political independence, which, al- though unsuccessful, were nevertheless formidable, and, when defeated, were followed by the most arbitrary confiscations and exactions by Spain, the natives of the island of Cuba, for three years or thereabouts, have maintained an armed insurrection, which the Spanish Government, with all its resources of men and money, and exercising continuously the most intolerably ty- ranny, has proved itself impotent to suppress : and WHEREAS, The Cubans have not only organized and maintained, during this period of three years, an army with able and patriotic leaders, and have been engaged in a contest with Spain, in which they have been successful, in both de- fensive and aggressive warfare, but have also framed a civil Government upon a basis analogous to our own constitutional sys- tem; and & WHEREAS, During the existence of the Civil War, various questions as to the recognition of belligerent rights, and as to the preservation of the lives and the property of our own citizens, have arisen between the Governiment of the United States and the Government of Spain, and it has become evident that, under insufficient pretexts, and by shameful methods, American citizens in Cuba have been imprisoned, executed and deprived of their property ; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, By the citizens of San Francisco in mass-me:ting assembl d: 1. That we extend to the Republic of Cuba, now in process of formation, our earnest sympathy, which voices the prevailing sentiment of the civilized world, and our hope and belief that the revolution- ary movement so long sustained amidst disheartening conditions may be permaneatly successful, and that the tyranny of Spain may give place to an independent and constitutional Government in the Island of Cuba, resting upon and supported by the free cons:nt of the peop e. S 2. That, while fully acknowledging our own primary duty and obligations to the Government of the United States, and the necessity for the just application of the law of natio s to the civil war in Cuba, and to the relations between the United States and Spain in connection therewith, and without desire to embarrass the present administration in dealing with the questions which that civil war has produced, we nevertheless respectfully urge upon President McKinley and his Cabinet the propriety and expedi- ency as promptly as existing conditions of fact may permit, if possible, with the co-operation of other Governments, but, if not, on behalf of the United States, of according to the Cuban Republic belligerent rights and as speedily as justifiable recognizing its independent existence as a Nation. 8. That we heartily indorse the declaration of the present Secretary of State, John Sherman, im- mediately after his accession to that high offic:, fortified by the inaugural message of President McKinley, to the effect that the whole power of the Government should be exercised to preserve the rights and the liberties of American citizens in foreign countries, and that we demand the vigorous application of this policy on behalif of American citizens in the island of Cuba. 4. That in the particulars referred to and the lines of action suggested in the foregoing resolutions we pledge our undivided and energetic support, without distinction of party, to the present adminis- tration. g 5. That in our deliberate judgment as American citizens the entire policy and procedure of the “panish Government, civil and miltary, in the island of Cuba for many years, and especially during the present struggle, have been and are despotic, cruel and in many respects without regard to law or morality, and deserve and should receive the unsparing condemnation of civilized men and women in every part of the globe. 6. That we thank the San Francisco press and other leading journals, the patriotic women and all who have so earnestly contributed toward the success of this meeting. HENRY E. HIGHTON, Charirman. haly cause of freedom when we do nothing to 2id those who are following our glorious ex- ample? Do ‘we Reserv that which we enjoy if we will not hearken to those who are Strug- gling for liberty? Fellow-citizens, the words that we are utter- ing to-night may not outlive the hour they arespoken. The resolutions, so luminous and 50 true, that have been read, may not attract the eye of those who have power to act and to speak. Our united voice may not cause one word to be echoed 10 Washington that will do this cause g0od, but so sure as the sun rises to- | morrow, %o sure as the cause of justice is right, and so sure as the cause of liberty is Just and holy, I believe that the liberty of the | Cubans is in sieht or will come. [Long-con- tinued applause] I do not know what you think now, I do not know what my friends think who voted no, but I want to hear all in favor of the resolution say aye. The applause that followed was deafen- ing. Amid the yell of “aye’” which rose in thunderous tones if there was one per- son who said “no’’ his voice could not be distinguisbed. Mr. Shortriage then stepped from the platform and Mayor Phelan essayed to speak, but the applause rose to snch a pitch and was 80 long-continued that he could notsay aword. At the beckoning hands of those on the platform Mr. Shortriige was obliged to return. Ashe was once more escorted by the Mayor to the front of the platform there was one long cheer and immediatety afterward the ticking of a | clock could have been distinctly heard. | Mr. Chairman, he said, I sm afraid that I will be like Corbelt—go up once top often. [Laugtter and cheers.] Iyieided ina moment of weakness to come again before you. There is one thought thatT would have lodged in your minds and abide in your hearts forever, and that is that the man who is ashamed or afraid to plead the cause of this country in | season or out of season is in my judgment not a true citizen. [Great applause.] I wish, since you have done me the great hovor, which I very fully appreciate, of wishing to be detained a moment longer by | me, I wish to enforce this thought also # little more clearly, perhaps, as to the right of belligerents in & case such as this. Issy that, according .to the books that have been written upon the subject ot law, I say, accord- | ing to the construction that has been placed | upon the treaties and the duties of | one State or one nation mnot to- inter- | fere wita the affairs of another, that the | occasion is now, wnen this country, with- out violating our treaty, could recogmze a state of belligerency and accord to both sides of the controversy equal privileges to purchase arms and munitions of war, equal | privileges to fit out cruisers, equal priviieges | to purchase whatsoever may be essential to the carrying on of the conflict, Remember that so far Spain has treated | these men as simply Insurgents—has treated them with the brutality so ably portrayed by the talented and honorable gentlemsn 1o whom you have already listened, and the point is whetber the United States, recogniz- ing her treaty with Spaiu—keeping her hands off—may now under international law accord to these patriois the privilege ot Dbelligerents engaged in revolution. And if the books were here, though I would fnvite those who have the interests of this matter deeply at heart to consuit a work in_three volumes termed “The Constituuional War of the United States,” containiug the messages of Presidents, con- taining the instructions of Secretaries of State to our foreign Ministers and Embassadors, the construction placed upon this question of belligerency; and I repeat it not dogmati- | cally, but as the humble opinion of an humble | man; I repeat it that if Thomes Jefferson were in the Presidential chair, if Monroe, if Clay, if | Webster (unfortunately he never was, but he | should have been there) they would have seen smple opportunities to recognize a state of | war existing jn Cuba. And that isall thatis Lecessary, an actual open state of war, to en- title a people to be recognized as belligerents. 1 am not now speaking of recognizing them | as a sovereignty, 85 a free people; they have notyet fought their battle to success, but i hope and believe, if it is not too late, axd I do not wish to criticize those who have passed, as Iwill not eriticize those now in power, that the time s now when Willlam McKinley has the constitutional rignt and ‘will have the courage and the Americanism to recognize the belligerency of the Cuban patriots. [Uproarious appiause.] We can do no more to-night. Liberty has had & hard struggle in this world. Man hes enslaved his brother, white and black, and we would have owned the island of Cub in 1852 if it nad not been for the un- fortunate and, as it proved to be, sad fact of negro slavery in this country. We would have owned Cuba then, but tHe fear was that slavery would be perpetuated and the siave power would be strengthened. Thank Goa, slavery in our country is dead forevermore. The Cuban slave has risen to burst his chains asunder. May heaven smile upon and bless his sacred | cause, the hollest cause that ever nerved the arm or fired the heart of man—the sublime and glorious of Freedom. Colonel T. V. Eddy in response to the call of the chairman, then monnted the platform amid prolonged applause: Inotice, he began, that the hour is getting late an 1 we have listened to about all that can be said, in my jndgment, slthough we have a very greatquestion to discuss. When invited, something like two weexs ago, to come here to say & few words to-night, I did not know that g0 Iarge & umber of distinguished gen- tlemen were to talk to you and it has been a matter of the greatest gratification to me to be permitted to sit as an auditor and listen to the burning words of eloquence that have issued from the almost inspired lips of the dis- tinguished gentlemen who have preceded me. [Appiause.] : It would be useless, and I deem it unneces- sary, for me to say, being the son, as I am, of & man who went down once into the valley of the shadow of deatn and bared his bosom to the bullet of the enemy ot this great Natfon that that flag might still float in the sky that when I was requested to come here to-night and to say whatI might be able tosayin my NEW TO-DAY — CLOTHING.

It seems impossible to me, and I was abso- lutely shocked to know that there could | gather in such an audience as tnis, even three young men—and I saw them; they sat imme- Qiately before me—who, when that resolution was put as to whether or not the people of San Francisco snould extend their sympathy and. word of good cheer to those strug- gling patriots, that men—young men— enjoying all the advantages of this grand Government of ours, based upon the principle of individual liberty and uni- versal freedom, could in those stentorien tones voice the word “No.” [Applause.[ And-I am not surprised that one of them, after giving utterance to that word, seemed to feel that he was in & position where shame should be his portion, and that he hid his face behind the back of tife chair.
