The Cause of Cuba.
To the Editor of the News.
On last Friday night the Cuban Junta resolved to have a public meeting on the night of April the 4th, to be held in the most conspicuous place in this city. The cause of our struggling is the cause of the world - the independence of Cuba. We do not doubt to find in this city thousands of sympathizers who will be willing to aid us not only to get our independence, but to assist thousands and thousands of unfortunate women and children who had to leave their huts and run into the country imploring clemency, from the barbarities of the Spaniards. We do not doubt to find in the civilized City of Charleston many good-hearted people, who will do all that is in their power; for we not only defend the independence of our country, but we also sustain the grand doctrine of Monroe, and the great American principles of Liberty. We hereby invite those who sympathize with our cause, and any who desire to speak in our public meeting, to direct us a letter to 'E. T.,' P. O. Charleston, or see the president of our Junta, No. 118 East Bay. And you, Mr. Editor, will please help us in this affair. Thanking you for your good wishes and kindness, we are respectfully yours,
The Officers and Members of Cuban Junta.
