IS CUBA’S STRUGGLE FOR FREED! M
Says Congressman-elect Willis of Delaware
—He Will Speak in Congress Favor
ing the Recognition of Her
Belligerent Kights.
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 21. —The Rev.
Jonathan S. Willis, Congressman-at-
Large-Elect of Delaware, has written
a letter to a friend here outlining bis
views upon the question of the inde
pendence of the island of Cuba. 'These
views, he declares, he will support upon
the floor of the house of representa
tives in the new congress.
Congressman Willis’ letter is the
outcome of an invitation to be present
at a mass meeting of Cuban sympathi
zers 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 lingering echo of the
same voice of truth, and say to them,
furthermore, that Delaware has never
failed to respond to that spirit and
and hearken to that voice.
CENTURIES OF OPPRESSION.
If the fight of the original thirteen
colonies against British injustice was
a cause for patriotic enthusiasm, much
more is the battle of these neighbors
of the “Ever Faithful Isle” against
three centuries of oppression which
.finds no parallel except in the annals
of Spanish domination.
“From the days of Liego Velasquez
to the days'of Martinez Campos these
unfortunate people have writhed under
an ever-recurringand continued course
of cruelty. No wonder the old native 1
chief, Hatuei, looked up from his tor
tures and declared that if there were
Spaniards in heaven he preferred to go
to hell. And no we n ter that in these
days when the outlying provinces of
even heathen nations enjoy a measure
of toleration, the underto'-n of every
section of this island paradise should
be a bitter and undying hatred of the
Spanish name.
NO RELIEF FROM DESPOTISM.
“In 1812 a constitution was formed
for Spain which was equally to apply
to her ultramarine 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 v ’ 1
s' '>-■**-*•■ -*—* ■
bourbon, Ferdinand VIE, recovered’
the family t.irone, threw the constitu
tion into the waste-basket and relapsed
as far back toward barbarism as was
possible in a world that had witnessed
the American revolution. That con
stitution was partially resuscitated in
1836 and applied to the home govern
ment, but by special decree of the
courts it was denied to Cuba. There
was no relief for her. Her chains were
as heavy and her dungeons as cheer
less as those which marked the des
potism of the Dark Ages.
PLAYTHING OF TYRANTS.
“She has been restricted in liberty,
repressed in education, robbed of her
revenues and made the vassal and
plaything of the petty tyrants who
have ruled her with unrestrained au
thority. But she is not subdued nor
conquered, from 1868 to 1878 she
waged unceasing war against her
oppressors, and at last was wheedled
into submission by promises that
were never kept. She is in
arms again, and, I believe, for
final success and independence, and
presently she will be knocking at the
doors of this free and mighty Govern
ment for the recognition of her bel
ligerent rights; and here is one hand
that will go up in her favof.
“By the rights denied her since her
first settlement, by the sufferings and
wrongs she has endured in every gen
eration, by every blood-stained page of
Spanish history, and by every instinct
of liberty that burns and glows in the
American heart, she appeals to us for
friendship, for justice and for recogni
tion.

building and from there will march
around the plank roadway to the re

Fierce Gale on Lak* Ontario.
Watertown, N. Y., October 21.—A ;
gale is raging on Lake Ontario, and
lake craft is in peril. A three-masted ■
schooner has struck on the boulders on
the Lime Barre! shoal, about four:
miles from Sackett’s harbor. She can
not be reached until the gale ceases ,
and the waves subside sufficiently to
allow a boat to live in the heavy seas.
The vessel lies in a safe position, so far
up on the rocks that she will probably I
not slide off into deep water and foun-'
der. A boat will try to reach her from ;
Sackett’s harbor tomorrow.. Her crew 1

The petition to extend the hours of

Hope for Ilia <..11 out*
At 10O’clock this morning tho mo
tion for a new trial in the M yers case
was heard 1 y the sup.-eme court.
Meyers’attorney, ffr.Moyers, alleged
unfair rulings amt an unfair chargeon
the part, of Judge Hart, who presided
nt the last trial in the superior coprt.
Colonel AV. c. Glenn and Solicitor
Hill spoke forcibly and ably for ■ the
state, denying all that was alleged.
Although the 'occasion was a very
wious one much inno< >nt amusement
] was p.ovoked when Colonel Glonn
stated : “Why, may yum honor phase,
these Brown Allens nro even worse ■
than the Richmonds that were on the
field of Bosworth slain. We have killed
abnv. nine of them already.”
SMALL HOPE FOR MEYERS.
There is very little probability of a
new trial. Seated upon the bench and
addressing himself to Mr. Mov-ra,
■Judge Lumpkin said: “My impression
is tliat this was tho most atrocious aiul
best proved murder of which I liavo
ever heard. Unless you succeed in
changing my mind 1 will not favor a
new trial.”
This remarkable expression of opin
ion, coining as it did froirr so conserva
tive a man as Judgo Lumpkin, crea
ted n<. liftle suppressed excitement in'
the court room. A flutter extended all I
the way across’ tlie room, from Tax'
Commercial reporter on the one sido I
te Mr. Moyers on the other. A sudden |
change of color was perceptiWe upon ‘
the face of the latter, and he stood for ,
an instant dumbfounded. Then he.;
stated : “1 believe your honor will gi
me a fair hearing, and 1 think I oai«
convince you that you are wrong.”
It was easy to see from tbit and other
incidents that tbo burden of proof rested I
upon the defendant and It was Mr. Moy
er- who had the convflliciug work to do. ,
REVIEW OF THE CASE.
An interesting review of the whole
tragedy was tnado and the technical le
gal points were discussed at length.
Before next Monday tho court’s decis
ion will not ‘probably be handed down,
but it is likely that it will be Linda
known on that day. «-
At present it seems that chances are
very strongly against. Meyers. It imw
seems almost a surety that he will »ay
