isiiye TO the invasilas OF the island of Cuba-the
demonstrations In New Orleans in favor of the
pirates who isii into the hands Of our troops-the
Msut to our Dag in the person Of our Consul, show
ns that which We cannot conceal that war with
fhe I nited States Is inevitable. We will not fix
the time when IL will begin, because it depends on
thousand circumstances which may happen-ve will
not say, either If Is at hand, because it is to
be presumed that the satisfacions of the Washing
eon governments ma avert it; but what We able
20 prognosticate, without fearing mistake, is that
the Cover nment VI the Union, weak in the organ
Szatien OF its citizens will be submitted, by will
or by force, to the almost revolutionary excita-
tons OF the most unteachable portion Of the South
ern States, and that in taking attitude contrary
20 what is required by the rights of the people Of
al nations 1t will orce Us not only to usees reclaim
atioos, but to hostile demonstrations. The reason
Of our prognosication is in the scondition of de-
mocrsGc governments, and especially in the con-
dition Of the Unitrd States government, the impo.
tence Of which has besn offered excuse for the
federation with which they have looked 1T the ex
petitions against the leland % Cuba. IL is the
condition OF deGocraue governments that the
true public opinos, formed by persons of intellect
position and fortune, disappears before that public
opinion which cl sInors and proelains itself In the
streets with cries OF sedition, and arrays itself
against all sentiments oi justice when its tendencies
10 aoarchy and lluLosr had formidable obstacle.
And asfhis false pubic opinion is powerful, because
II threatens governments, We believe that it will
prevail, later or sooner, in the United States and
the goveinment OF mat country will follow the way
thus indicated, although at the end they find
m, abyss INTO waich thev run the risk Of
being precipitatea We fatter ourselves that
there in the ni:el States sen sble persons,
and newspapers Vt tame not associated with the
criminal projects Of the Eioniss, and condemn
lng Gs we do ourselves the ration Of their govern
ment; bat the sentiment Of these persons and the
fame of these papers represent only reason, and
reason not listened TO before the coarse voice OF
the crowds The cIo-ds, wo repeat, viii be VIC
torious, and the var aribtvabe, though We do not be-
Ieve that ths governments OF the Union Will ap-
prove the ideas VI be crowd.
But war does not indmidate Us. How can it
Brighten US, wbeL able 20 gain very much by
II, an have Hothn ~ iosei We DO not apprehend,
either that the provucatton, will be given by US
The only ching to which @e pretend, Is TO give the
alarm, in order that the Spanish government
should at once maze some preparations for the
events which threaten it. Increase our squadron,
especially the steanefs-gve orders FOR the construc
zion OF some arg snipS of war, AID sen !, if it is
opPortue, more sontrs 70 Cuba II Is ior these OBJ
5ects that We would end Preparations. 1t is
possible, however. hat we cannot possess q navy
equal TO that Of the United states; but We shall
not offer formal pasai battles. No; the priyateers
will make the war AMI our vessels will serve to
protect and guard be iorts 81 ports and lsave the
coasts ~hen the tuc;ess o an expedition will be se
In warfare have an immense advantage
over the L. states; III tuch manner that We shall
cEer letters OF marqes, with great profits TO those
who will ask for theln We will find priv ateers, not
only amongst the Ca slans and MayOrqueers, who
are the best in the world, bu: III EIgland and in the
Philippine archipelago, aud II great abundance
amongst the JolvanOs, who, IN consequence OF our
Hast expedition TO tb,r islands, have bcea deprived
OF tee profession cOrs Airs. And thus we Will
encounter the people uf tae Dited otates for the
rivalry fcommerce; covetousne is bad adviser,
and will cause certain sentiments, which Gre mixed
win their interes t0 be forgotten. And then
what will the goversu,e Of the United States dol

try! Its vessels will encounter danger in the In
