yilfully blind. You must know the people OF Cuba
are far from satisfied with the present form of gov
eminent that has obtained power here in Cuba, and

paid for her return to your peninsuar home eat your
garlic and drink your Catalan wine Laugh and
grow fat-for mark me, as certain as you and now
live in the same city, Cuba will pass out of the hands
of Spain ere FIVE years more have passed over our
heads. This assertion is not made ghtly as will be
seen by perusal of the previous portions of this

On the lst prox., new civil code is TO go into
operation in this Island, which-although it is admit
ted has had much care bestowed upon it's never
theless, represented to be little adapted to Cuba.
am promised perusal of this new code, and SHALL in
all probability, be in position to express in my next
letter an unbiased opinion respecting it.
