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.

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

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

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

Detective Amour's Work May Break up

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. Crushano was committed
