! IS ('VISA’S STRUIliU; FOR F EElllH!.
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 21 .—
The Rev. Jonathan S. Willis con¬
,
gressman-at-I.arge-Klect of Dela¬
ware, has written a letter to a friend
here outlining his views upon the
question of the independence of
the island of Cuba. These views,
he declares, he will support upon
the floor of the house of represent¬
atives in the new congress.
Congressman Willis’ letter is the
outcome of an invitation to be
present at a mass meeting of Cu¬
ban sympathizers last Saturday
night. He says in part :
I regard the cause of the Cubans
as a kindred life-throb with the
cause of the American colonists
in 1776; as a renewed pulsation of
the same spirit of liberty ; a lin¬
gering echo of the same voice of
truth, and say to them, further¬
more, that Delaware has never
failed to respond to that spirit and
hearken to that voice.
CENTURIES OF OPPRESSION.
If the fight of the original thir¬
teen colonies against British in¬
justice was a cause for patrioticen
thusiasm, much more is the battle
of these neighbors of the < 4 Ever
Faithful Isle’’ against three centu
r ' es of oppression which finds no
paraliel except in the annals of
Spanish domination.
“From the days of Liego Velas¬
quez to the days of Martinez Cam¬
pos these unfortunate people have
writhed under an ever-recurring
1 and continued course of cruelty.
No wonder the old native chief,
Hatuei, looked up from his tortures
and declared that if there were
vApcitllcXl VACY Ht UVttNCU lie picivtl ACYl UJ
go to hell. And no wonder that
in these days when the outlying
provinces of even heathen nations
enjoy a measure of toleration, the
undertone of every section of this
island paradise should be a bitter
and undying hatred of the Spanish
name.
NO relief from despotism.
4 4 In 1812, a constitution was
formed for Spain, which was equal¬
ly to apply to her ultamarine
provinces, including Cuba. It was
the remnant of chartered liberty,
which had never died out from the
days of the Aragonian kings, but
the ink with which it was written
was hardly dry when that stupid
and cruel bourbon, Ferdinand VII.,
recovered the family throne, threw
the constitution into the waste¬
basket and relapsed as far back to¬
ward barbarism as was possible in
a world that had witnessed the
American revolution. That con
stitution was partly resusciated in
1836, and applied to the home gov
ernment, but by special decree of
the courts it was denied to Cuba.
There was no relief for her. Her
j chains were as heavy and her dun
geons as cheerless as those which
j marked the despotism of the Dark
Ages.
PLAYTHING OF TYRANTS.
< 1 She has been restricted iti lib¬
erty, repressed in education, rob¬
bed of her revenues, and made the
vassal and plaything of the petty
tyrants who have ruled her with
unrestrained authority. But she
i is not subdued nor conquered.
From 1868 to 1878 she wrnged un
I ceasing war against her oppressors,
| and at last was w heedled into sub¬
mission by promises that were
i never kept. She is in arms again,
i and, I believe, for final success and
1 "/of
free and mighty government
for the recognition of her belliger
ent rights ; and here is one hand
i that will go up in her favor.
4 4 By the rights denied her since
| her first settlement, by the suffer
! ings and w'rongs she has endured
in every blood-stained page 0 f
Spanish history, and by every in
stinet of liberty that burns and
glows in the American heart, she
appeals 7 th to us for friendship, for
justice . and , for r recognition. ...

1 'Why The Train Stopped.
A resident of Yonkers called at
the office of the superintendent of
the New York Central in this city
one day, and sending in his card,
was promptly admitted to the pri¬
vate room of that official. As he
ships considerable freight over the
Central’s tracks, his reception by
the superintendent was a cordial
one.
“I am about to take my family
up to Saratoga Saturday morning. ’ ’
he said, “and have come to ask
you as a favor to have the 8.30
train flagged at Yonkers, so we can
get to Saratoga early in the after¬
noon. It would lie extremely in¬
convenient for us to be compelled
to go down to the Central station
in order to board the train,, and 1
think 1 can safely ask the favor of
having it stopped for me at Yon¬
kers. ’ ’
The superintendent picked up a
time table from his desk, glanced
it over and said:
“Well, the rules of the road are
very strict on the subject of flag¬
ging trains to take on passengers
at stations not designated as stops
on the train schedule. We seldom
grant such requests, even to impor¬
tant officials of the road. If we
were to comply with one-quarter of
the requests of this sort that we
receive, our express trains would
be able to make no better time than
the ordinary way trains. But we
appreciate the fact that we receive
a good share of your shipping bus¬
iness, and for that reason are dis¬
posed to accommodate you. You
can depend upon the 8.30 train
stopping at Yonkers next Saturday
morning. Have your family ready
to get on board, as the train must
not be delayed. } *
The caller expressed his grateful
At J___*
departed. At 8.20 the following
Saturday morning he and his fami¬
ly were driven up to the station in
great haste in two coaches, while
an express wagon unloadad several
trunks. Having purchased tickets
for the party the gentleman bustled
out upon the platform, and ap¬
proaching the station agent with
the haughtiness of a railroad mag¬
nate said :
1 . I suppose you receiyed orders
from the superintendent to flag the
8.30 train for me ?”
The agent looked at him meekly
and replied:
4 4 No, sir. I received no orders
whatever.”
“Why, that’s strange,” he said.
4 4 The superintendent told me posi
tively that the train would be stop¬
ped here for me. )»
The smile that spread over the
station agent’s face was interpret¬
ed by the gentleman to indicate a
doubt as to his veracity, and hebe
cam e properly indignant. The
agent still persisted that no orders
regarding the flagging of the train
had been received.
4 4 Well, the order must certainly
have been sent out and may have
been miscarried,” said the gentle
man. • 1 Can’t you flag the train,
anyhow' ?”
4 4 No, sir. That would be out of
the question. 1 wouldn’t flag that
train for Chauncey Depew himself
unless I had orders from head¬
quarters to do so. It w'ould cost
tne my job if 1 did. »>
At that moment the train was
sighted in the distance and the
gentleman began to prance around
the platform in a state of great ex
eitement. He pleaded, begged and
entreated the agent to flag the
train, and finally threatened to re¬
port him to the superintendent,
but all in vain. As the train drew
near the station its speed sbdten
e< R an d h finally stopped. The
waiting family was finally bundled
011 board in a hurry, ant. as the
j ■ gentleman ust dw climbed train started on he the looked steps
j 3 as
back at the station agent triumph
antly a,1( i shouted in a \oice
I that was audible to every one on
i die station platform :
“Didn t I tell you this train was
ordered to stop here for me. 11
The station agent grinned and
retorted 111 stentorian tones:
, “\yhy, this train has been stop
I ping here every morning for the
I last 15 years.”—New York Sun.
