NO COMPROMISE WITH SPANIARDS Tho Cuban Patriots Propose to Carry on the War Until Spain is Forced to Acknowledge the Absolute In dependence of the Island. New YoKK,Aprll23. T. Estrada Palmn, president of tho Cuban revolutionary junta, last night gavp out tha following auuross to tho people of the United States: Tne persistency with which the Amerl- oan press has during the last few days been treating of supposed admlnlstrntlvo reforms to bo introduced in Cuba by tho govornmont or bpaln compels me to re quest tho publication of tho following declarations which I make In behalf of my govornmont, of the urmy of liberation of Cuba and of the Cuban revolutionary party: The question of the supposod reforms is not a matter which at all concerns thoso who have already established an Indepen dent government in Cuba, and havo re solved to shrink from no sacrifice of prop erty or life in order to omancipato the whole island from tho Spanish yoke. If tho Spaniards resident in tho island, who aro favorod by tho Spanish government with all sorts of privileges and monopo lies, and if tho handful of Cubans too pusllanlmous or too proud to acknowledge tholr error, or a few foreigners, guided only by selfish Interest, aro satisfied thot Cuba shouldromaln under Spanish abomi nation, we, who mllitato undor the flag of tho solitary star, we, who already consti tute tho ropubllo of Cuba and belonging to a free peoplo, with Its own government nnd Its own laws, aro firmly resolved to listen to no compromise and to troat with bpaln only on tho basis of absolute lndo- pondeuee for Cuba. If bpaln has power to exterminate us thon let her convert tho Island Into a vast cemetery. If she has not, and wishes to terminate tho war boforo the whole coun try Is roduced to ashes, thon let her adopt the only mcasuro that will put an end to It and recognize our Independence Spain must know by this time that whllo tnoro Is a single living Cuban with dignity and thero aro many thousands of thein thoro will not be peace in Cuba, nor oven hope of It. All good causes must finally triumph, and ours is a good cause. It Is tho cause of justico treated with contempt, of right suppressed by forco, and of tho dignity of a peoplo offended to tho last degree. We luivo thrown ourselves into tho strugglo advisedly and tlollbcratcly. We know what wo would havo to face, ond wo decided unflinchingly to persevere until wo should emancipate ourselves from tho Spanish government. And wo know thut wo aro ablo to do It, as wo know that wo aro competent to govern ourselves. Ex perience has taught us that as a peoplo wo havo nothing to envy in tho Spaniards. In fact, wo feel oursolvos superior to them, and from them wo can oxpoct no Improve ment, no hotter education. With regard to tho knowledgo of mod ern institutions and to democratic sent! monts wo aro far moro advanced than tho Spaniards. In that rospoct and In many others wo have nothing in common with tho Spanish people. Wo are Americans. Wo broatho tho puro air of froo institu tions, and wo contemplate with onvy tho govornment of tho peoplo, by tho pooplo and for the people. Colonel Nuuez Surrenders. Philadelphia, April S3. Colonol Km lllo Nunez, tho well known Cuban leador In this city, for whom n warrant was is sued last week In connoctlon with tho al leged filibustering expedition of tho Ber muda, surrendered himself to United Statos Commissioner Hell yostorday.

State Lenders ltequct llllii tci Itetalu tho CliatrinitiiHlilp. jiAimlsiwnj, April 2J. Tho state P.o- publloan couvontlon tomorrow will bo a distinctively Quay gathoilng. Tho sen ator's Ir.end will bo ohoion for all tho of fleos to bu filled, and tho senator himself will bo strongly lndorsod for proildont. Tho opposition will boa hopeless minority In thd convention, and at tho meeting of tho Btatocommlttoo. Its loaders will prob nbly mako no attempt to upiot tho plans of Senator Quay and his friends. Thoro is no sentlinont among any of tho dolegotos or politicians now on tho sceno forMo Klnloy. If, as has boon assortod by his friends, thoro Is a strong sontlment through tho state for tho Ohloan, It has not made Itself felt hero. Tho reform plank of tho platform will bo a strong one, and tho essential features of four acts of assembly designed to carry out Senator Quay's ideas in opposition to tho use of money in politics" and in favor of improved civil servleo and better municipal govern ment will be incorporated in tho platform. Thoso measures go further and are more radical than anything of tho kind over nsked for by reformers. Tho fight lor chairman is exciting interest. Frank Willing Leach Is confident of success. and so ll General Klkln. If thero is any thing in the talk tho latter Is a winner hands down, llothatasit may, all of tho Pcnu sylvanla Congressmen, with several excep tions, aro for Mr. Leach, and so aro such men as S. A. Davenport, of Krio ; Representa tive J. C. Harvey, 'of Luzerne : Senator W. U. llromer, of Franklin : Jas. B. Holland, of Montgomery, and I). D. Phillips, of bchuyl kill. Theso leaders aro Quay men from too word go, and it serves to show what has already been stated that Senator Quay is keeping his hands off. In fact, tho Iieaver man reiterated to-day : "I am not taking a hand in the fight," raid ho. A conference of stato leaders was held last evenltig for tho purposo of coming to an agreement on the state chairmanship contest. A committee was appointed for tho purposo of requesting Senator Quay to retain tho ofllco in tho interest of harmony, They will call on Leach and Klkin and ask them to withdraw. It is tho impression that they will both give way to the iieaver statesman. Tho result of tho state committee meeting to-day will remove all doubt as to tho out come of Uio convention.

Detective Amour's Work May Break up a Bad Gang. MONEY GAINED SPENT FOR BEER. They Halted an Italian Last Sunday and Compelled Him to Concede to Tholr Wishes by Threats of Violence-One Committed In Default of Ball. Dctectlvo Amour was busy yesterday work ing up a caso of highway robbery against a number of young men of town who make tho vicinity of tho Pennsylvania railroad depot a loafing rendezvous. Tho complain ant In tho caso was Sperto Jcnoso, an Italian, recently of Shamoklu and now of 1 urkey Itun. Jenoso spent last Sunday afternoon In town and when on his way homo between 5 and 0 o'clock in tho evening was stopped near tho Pennsylvania depot by 10 or 12 young fellows who were lounging about tho place and who asked him for tobacco. At first Jenoso said ho had none, but when several of tho fellows caught hold of him with the evident inten tion of doing 1 li tn harm ho gave them all tho tobacco ho had. As ho did so one of tho crowd grabbed his watch and chain and ran away. From information gleaned by Detective Amour it was learned that the watch had been sold for $1.50 and with tho proceeds tho crowd got drunk Sunday night. Yesterday n warrant was sworn out for tho arrest of Thomas Crusliane and Michael Stanton. Amour arrested the latter at the corner of Main and Centre streets in the afternoon. Stanton denied all knowledge of the theft, but admitted that ho was with tho crowd at tho time. Ho was held under $300 ball for trial at court, bis mother furnishing tho security. Crushano bad been apprehended previously, but not arrested, as it was feared such a step would cause others apparently more implicated to take flight. Dctectlvo Amour did not stop with tho arrest of Stanton, but kept working on the case until ho got Crusliane and another Polo in custody, Tho latter was a youth of about 18 years of ago and the watch was found on his person, Ho claimed ho bought it for a $1.30 from a youth working with him as a slatepicker in Indian Ridge breaker ami known as Frank Seanlan. A young man named Michael Dolan was also taken into custody and all wero put under bail for hearing at (1:30 this morning, when it was arranged that the Italian would appear and seo if ho could identify any of the accused. At the appointed hour tho accused pre sented themselves beforo Justico Williams and Jenoso, tho victim of tho robbery, identi fied all of them, IIo was in attendance with his counsel, M. M. ISurke, Esq., who has been retained to press the case and it is probable that tho suit will break up tho gang that has infested tho place whero tho robbery took place. It is said Crushano plans depreda tions and gets others to commit them. Ho seldom gets Into a position whero the law can reach him. Chowonitz testified at tho hearing this morning that Frank Scranton brought tho watch to him and Michael Stanton was present and received tho money for it. Scranton lias not been arrested. Tho watch chain lias not been recovered. It is moro valuable than the watch, being of Italian manufacture, solid silver and very heavy. All tho accused except Crushano futuished $300 ball for trial.
