He Says the I nlled StnlrtC Should Re Told After the Census I Token that . Cuba 3ust Have Freedom. HAVANA, Oct. 23. A largely attended meeting was held to-day to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of the movement for Independence. Dr. Cespedes. of the University of Havana, who was cne of the speakers, said the Cubans were not divided. Inasmuch as those who advocated annexation or a protectorate could not be classified as Cubans. Colonel Acea declared his belief that the American government would grant Independence to Cuba. After the census had been taken the Washington government should be told that the time had arrived to make the Island Independent. As for himself, he wanted either independence or death. Colonel Arango. who was hissed at a recent meeting of delegates of the Cuban National League, said: "1 am sad of spirit on account of the want of confidence my fellow-citizens have "shown In me, but I am ready to return love for hate. If It were possible, I would change my black skin for a white on- In a dauldron of boiling water, and I would even embrace Weyler if, by so doing, I could secure independence for Cuba. Believe me, fellow-citizens, our organization a temple with a hundred doors, all flung wide open to patriots." Senor Gonzale Perez said: "The Cuban National party calls upon all, but It will not humble Itself before any. As the Cuban flag has been waved In the faces of 200,000 men and been carried to victory, we can now afford to pardon the wrongs of the ?ast. But we cannot afford to forget them, or this would be degradation." A meeting was held this evening, attended by representative committees of the Cuban National League atifl tho Cuban National party to decide when the delegates of both are to meet for a conference. A petition, numerously signed, asking for a general meeting at an cany date in order to carry on the work, begun several weeks ngo, was the cause of to-night's deliberations. The people are naturally opposed, pays the petition, to any further postponement, especially under such conditions as those now existing, as all Cubans desire to see a revival of business activity, and the sooner a general meeting Is held the better. Iwi Lucha says it la rumored that all the members of the joint committee are about to resign. Civil Governor of Havana. Gen. Ruls Rivera, has Issued a proclamation prohibiting cockfights, on the ground that "such contests are against good morals and good customs." Copies of the proclamation have ben sent to all the mayors in the province, with strict Instructions to refuse any application for a license for sport of this character. Five hundred Syrians, now in the city of Plnar del Rio. were recently notified by the authorities that they must leave the city within five days. Father Delebtant. the Syrian priest there, complained to Governor General Brooke regarding the order and received the hatter's promise to investigate the matter. General Brooke recently received a letter from the Governor of the State of Minnesota, asking that certain inquiries be made In connection with a rumor that the late Gen. Antonio Maceo left an illegitimate son and that the youth was known to Gen. Mayla Rodriguez. Investigation fails to show any definite ground for the rumor. There has been some controversy as to character of certain census Inspectors and the question has been ralf.ed before the Governor General, by General Ludlow, military Governor of Havana. It turns out that among the 300 appointed, almost all were engaged by the authorities on the recommendation of respectable people of Havana, but. in any event, the list will be laid before Mr. Victor H. Olmstead, assistant director of the census, on his arrival here, and the final decision will rest with him. EIGHT NEW CASES. Sadden Spread of Yellow Fever at the .Mississippi Capital. JACKSON.

Fortunately only a dozen or so convicts are within the walls, the others being at work on the various state farms. )r. Haralson, inspector of the state biard. reports two cases of yellow fever at Fora, eighteen miles north of here. Many of the citizens are leaving. A Successful American Venture. CITY OF MEXICO.

An Appeal Taken In the Matter of the Vigo Comity Bridge. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 23.-Judge Stimson, of the Superior Court, to-day overruled the motion for a new trial of the Injunction suit of W. R. McKeen to prevent the County Commissioners from spending $16,000 on a bridge west of the city. The ground for the motion was the alleged fact that the new law, creating the County Council, provided that no expenditure other than those entered upon at the time the council was organized should be made, unless authorized by the County Council. It was maintained by Mr. McKeen's counsel that the law intended that the council should have supervision over all appropriations of county money at once, and not for expenditures after Jan. 1 next, as Is generally assumed. If the council had failed to make an appropriation for the interim, that was a failure on its part to perform its duty. Judge Stimson quoted from a recent opinion of Attorney General Taylor, to the effect that the law did not give the councils authority over expenditures until Jan. 1. and on this opinion based his decision in overruling the motion for a new trial. Mr. McKeen's lawyers at once gave notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court.

ESCAPE OF BANDITS. Stole Homes nnd Fled After Killing? and Wonndlag Four Men. ATCHISON, Kan., Oct. 23. Notwithstanding the fact that fully five hundred armed men surrounded the Island between Atchison and Doniphan all last night, the two bandits who Saturday night killed one man and wounded another at Doniphan and duplicated this crime near here yesterday, while being pursued, escaped before daylight. It seems that the robbers crept through the line of guards some time during' the night, and stealing a team of horses, made good their escape. The body of Policeman Robert Dickerson, who was killed near the log barricade made by the robbers, has been recovered. At the barricade to-day were found a.i empty cartridge box and a vest, but nothing to lead to the identltyof the men. A "?ool of olood showed that one of the robbers had been badly wounded. Hundreds of men are searching for the bandits who apparently are provided with plenty of ammunition. Probably Exenped Convicts. LEAVENWORTH. Kan.. Oct. 23.

Priest, two of the three convicts who escaped from the United States penitentiary Aug. 2. They were sent to the prLson cemetery to dig a grave, and there overpowered the guard andi took hla rifle.
