Cuban Revolutionary Junta to the edi-
tor of the Tribune: 800
Having observed that you have hith-
erto published the Spanish official IN
telligencs in regard to the revolution
now progressing in Cuba, we beg

having died out, is steadily progressing
and will only die out when Spanish
rule in Cuba shall have expired.
