Free Cuba From Foreign Control—Amer­

ican Citizens Called on to Express Their

Views of the .Subject. JACKSONVILLE Fla., April 5.—The

spirit of war rose high here last night at the big Cuban umssmeeting in' behalf of the Cuban cause. The meeting was held in the Metropolitan. Light Infantry armory. Cubitus from far and •wide \vei*e there and on the stage were a number of prominent eitizens of Jacksonville, while in. tile body of the audience were many ladies. The chief Cubans present were Femandino FiKueredo of Tampa, Dr. Ferniin Saldes Dominguez and Gonnulo De Quesada of New York., and R. J. Martinez, E. M. Delgarto and J. P. Cancio of Jacksonville.

John G. Christopher, who is one of the best known business men in Florida, presided, and said that they met in the cause of freedom. He introduced Gonisalo de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban Revolutionary society of New York. Quesada lifted his audience into a state of enthusiasm. "I do not come here to rehearse the failure of the revolution of 18(58," he said. "I come to say that men of that revolution are in Cuba today with rifles in their hands. The new revolution lias begun. It must end in the freedom of the island or else the belligerents and their children must go to the scaffold. "Spain has already 82,000 soldiers in the island. Do you think the crown •would send an army to overcome laO "bandits, which is declared to be all that is at the bottom of the disturbance? '•If this struggle fails it will be the fault of jou Americans, for why did you teach us the lesson of lioerry. If «\ve do not succeed your's will ie the $?reat mine of not having given succor. Jilit Americans will not fail us. From every hand come aid. Dollars are pouring in and with these dollars rifles and bullets have een bought. American public Q-pmion is saying 'Let Cuba in her li'.rht have fair play: we hold the stakes.

The speaker paused here for a moment and men said impressively: "Ladies and gentlemen. I thank you for this reception. It may be the last time I shall nee you. The fortunes of my country may take me to the field. My death I may meet there, but I shall take to my country messages of encouragement and love from our friends in America."

Demonstrations of wild delight greeted Quesada's last words. This enthusiasm was increased when ex-State Superintendent of Schools A. J. Russell was introduced, and after a few words yroliniinary, said: "I am greatly impressed to see so many women here tonight. Let me tell you Cubans that when God and the •women of the United States are on your side hell itself can not prevail against you. But above all I ask the blessing of Almighty God on your •cause. You shall ask Him to aid you, ,euid then you should use your powder and ball."

The band played "Yankee Doodle," and the meeting sent up a cheer. Fernandino Figueredo explained the situation in these words: "The old mother country, after tryiug*to secure a loan from England and France, has failed. She says she will Bend 100.000 men against Cuba, but Cubans know that she can not get the money to send them. She has sent Oeneral Campos, her ablest statesman, to Cuba, and when that fails what then V"

A committee of five, appointed by the chairman and composed of Americans prominent in Florida aii'airs. presented the following resolutions, winch were adopted with great, enthusiasm:

LSOI.V ). That it" is the SENSE of the 1 American citizens here assembled: First—That, iliey most heartily s.vnipa- I thize with the (Julian patriots in their !ojdres and efforts to live Cuba Ironi to renin I .control and obtain lor the people of that island liie right of self government as much pn/.ed by us.

REBELLION IN COLOMBIA.

Detiiiltf of the Last llattlo Fought on March 15. COLON, March 2i.—Special correspondence of the Associated Press.—The following are the details of the battle fought on March 15, in the. department of Santander, and which, according to the official reports, is said to have terminated the rebellion in the republic of Colombia: "MANGANQUE, March 2 2 —From Feb. 251, on which date our forces started from Porto Nacional. up to the loth inst., the date on which the battle at Enciso took place, they had to march on foot and half naked, about 800 miles through the mountains, the temperature being so low that our soldiers could scarcely endure its severity. Consequently, with rifle in hand, and with thoughts of our country uppermost, many of our men breathed their last breath. Of the '5,000 soldiers who started from Porto National, only 1,500 arrived at Enciso, the missing-oiie.s haying abandoned their arms and ammunition. "The rebels had 2,500 men in good positions, and General Reyes, the commander of the government forces, knowing that they would shortly be reinforced by 2,000 men, determined to attack them before the reinforcements arrived. Consequently he opened fire upon the enemy at 5 a. m., on March 15, and by 7 o'clock the government troops had taken the enemy's position and immediately afterward captured the town of Enciso. The rebels started toward the mountains, and from ambush caused terrible havoc among our forces. By .'i o'clock in the afternoon, after a desperate struggle oil both sides, the revolutionists were completely routed. "Among the dead were Colonel Vieco ana Regulo Garcia Herreros and the brave Captain Ordonez, as well as about 5300 soldiers, and

-}00

wounded. The

enemy's loss was heavier, and they had large number of wounded. General Reyes says that after the battle only NO!) of his troops remained. The enemy was well armed with rifles. "Wln-n the battle was over General Guttierez appeared with 2.000 men, and threatened an attack on the governmentforces. General Reyes took up a position and awaited the onslaught, but in the meai!tii.:e General Mateu's forces appeared, and compelled the rebels to surrender, as communicated to me by the minister of war. "Undoubtedly this triumph has" secured the peace of the republic."

brought into Hennessey late last night by one of the posse pursuing the Rock Island train robbers of a fight bet ween the robbers and deputy sheriffs on the Cimarron river.
