MEETING
FOR
CUBA.
BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 20.—The mass meeting at the Maryland Institute last night of citizens who favor free Cuba and national intervention, was the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in Baltimore since the Kossuth reception. Every part of the immense hall was crowded, and hundreds turned away, unable to gain admission. Col. E. M. Yerger presided. Resolutions were adopted by acclamation, condemning the insult to the flag, denouncing the butchery that followed, and declaring it to be the duty of the government to make an immediate demand for the surrender of the survivors, and also the surrender of the Spanish butchers, the surrender of the Virginius, and the occupation of Cuba until reparation is made to the families of the slain, the recognition of the belligerent rights of Cuba and standing by the declaration made to Great Britain in 1812 by the United States, viz: "Once every regularly documented merchant vessel be crew whom sight it will find their protection in the flag that is over them."
