the official paper Of this Government Published In
this City, The report is received ss "semofh@d and
a. you may suppose has given very general sssfac-
ton among tho Creoles and their intimate associatesi
although there are some few Of them, who, without
hesitation express their feeling" that the subject
WAS one about which too great fuss was made
In my humble opinion, no stronger proof could be
sdduced Of the weakness of the present Government
OF snsip than this act snnpling one Of s recent de-
crees upon subject too 80 fraught with al that u
dear 20 Morality and 10 true Religion As you,
LJesume are aware, there are very large number Of
eolored women in this island living in state
OF coDcsbDage with white men, who are the fathers
of their children.
The excuse made by these men for not marrying
their childrens motbers is, tina, TO do so would be
breach Of the law. Tie Archbishop Of Cuba, who ia
represented TO be trly good ard religious man, as
certsinipg this last mentioned circumstance, eIerted
