those pestential and disease and death causing

The INHABITAsTs OF CUBA AND THE SPANISH
CONTINENTAL effort Is being made, it appears,
in certain quarters, hut where we canrot distinct
ascertain, to create the impre ssion in the minds
Of the people of the United States, that the inhabi-
tsnts Of Cuba are, in the main, loyal to the Spanish
government that they desire continuance of
Spanish authority, and that the great majority Of
them are satisfied with their present political con.
dition, and would resist To the death any assruaa
TO sever their connection with Spain for eiii,ershe

such project would involve great sacrifice of
life, and vast outlay of money. AZ far as the
expenditure of money Is concerned, they know
well that the impetus that Independence would
give to the island would soon bring into produc-
tive state, the large uncultivated tracts Of land
which now remain utterly useless and unprofta-
bic, and that, in few years, the revenue from
that source, wsuld balance the account. As for
The sacrifice Of life, that lis never taken into con-
sderaiion in such cases, for each revolutionist
risks his lite IN the experiment.
We do not how the Cubans can feel other
wire than DESTROYS Of severIng their political
nection with Old Spain. ANY one at all acquainted
with the government that exists in the island of
Cuba, must be aware that i, is despotism of the
most CALLING and tyrannc kind that the liberty,
lives, and properly Of the inhabitants are at the
mercy Of the Governor General, who is vested
with dictstorial powers by the Court of Spain. In
