TO THE cUBASs
The hour has finally arrived which has been
appointed by fate for the freedom of Cuba. This
most precious part of the native land of the
CiboBey is unjustly and cruelty prosecuted by
the descendants of the impous murderers OF that
innocent people. Puerto Principe has gwen us
the signal, and shame and dishonor would fall
upon the remainder Of the Cuban population,
should they not adhere to the revolutionary
movement which our brothers Of that proynce
have 80 successfully commenced.
Cubans Five hundred Trntarians, among
whom are numbered those more favorably
known in this capital of the central departments,
by their wealth. education, virtue, and patriotism,
rise, to day, ms single man, to redeem our
country from its opprobrious servitude. Large
numbers of our brave countrymen, who, in skill,
in courage and firmness, are equal to- the uncon-
querable Maneros of South America, are waiting
for us in our fields, anxious to destroy at once
and forever the Spanish thraldom which now
dsgraces our dear fatherland.
Cubans, let us hasten to the battle field,
where victory will attend u.s. and where glory
will crown our brows with its immortal and never
fading laurels. God always stretches his pro
tecting arm over those who defend the cause of
right and justice. A numerous and strong ex-
petition, led by illustrious chiefs, is being fitted
out from the shores of the great American con-
federacy, to come to our aid with the utmost
lpromptitude General Narcsco Lopez, the ia
yorite son Of Mars, who, by his glorious deeds,
as we'll as by his hatred against tyranne, has
struck the Spanish government with panic fear,
will soon spread terror and anazement among
our oppressors, driving them from our shores
with his redeelnnQ sword. Fellow-countrymen
| let us oil Join together from the Point of Mais
to the Cape of San Antonio, and proclaim oui
independence.
Let us conquer our liberty with arms in oul
hands ISIDORO ARMENTlROS,
Colonel in Command.

| To THE SPANISH ARMY
Soldiers. The moment has come when this
beautiful part of the country which you inhabit
has arisen to break forever the chains which OPP
press it. Our brothers of Puerto Principe have
preceded US ia the noble enterprise of delivering
the country; and brilliant exploit has begun
to crown their efforts. The government is IN a
desperate situation; it needs aids withou;
sympathies-- without confidence even in YOU
since many Of your brothers in Puerto Principe
have passed into the files of the patriots. Al
the arrival of the brave Narciso Lopez yeur loss
is sure, and you will be defeated. IL you fol-
low the party of the sanguine and corrupted
government that without any mercy, drew you
from home in the spring of your age, in order
to send you to Cuba for expressing your broth
ers, it will give yon the same reward that il con-
ceded to those who sacrificed themselves in its
defence in all the American continent. If you
escape death almost certain, misery and despair
will be your reward
AS for us, il you come into our ranks TO aid
us to achieve Cuban liberty, We will receive you
like friends--like brothers. We will treat you
as freemen, and will reward your services with
interest Every soldier of you who wants to
come into our ranks, will receive a bounty OF
eleven ounces of gold and a lot of land, as soon
as the country, delivered from its tyrants, will
have recovered its tranquility. During the cam
paign each one will receive daily FIVE reals.
Soldiers Make your choice between those
two prospects. In our ranks you will be free
citizens, struggling for the cause of humanity
and of progress. In those of the adversary, you
will be treated like beasts, without any regard
for your dignity as men.
If, in spite of all, you continue TO lend your
service TO government which keeps You in OPP
preston and degradation--if you are seduced
by its deceitful promises, we will encounter you
on the field, without ranc0r or terror But, we
await you, disposed to pour our last drop OF
blood for the defence of the holy cause of indie.
perdence and liberty for Cubal
