In its issue Of the Gath Of June 1t says:-
Up to this time the government has been unable TO
form It's cavalry forces which are so necessary IN
our campaign, but the arrival OF the armament for
this branch OF the service and the well known repu-
tation OF the Camagueyans good riders, with such
officers as lgnico Agramonte LoivaZ and the
Mexican Colonel citizen Cantrl, assure US Of new
and brilliant triumphs.
The same paper says
Mexico, Chile and Peru have recognized us as
begerents according to Olllcial information re-
ceived by our republican government.
Touching the question Of annexation TO the United
States Ell Mdnsbi speaks as follows:-
France and England are not ignorant OF the fact
that the United States are strong and powerful That
they have all the elements to carry on war against
these two Powers, and II, IN their wise polcy, they
have determined TO annex the Island OF cuba they
will annex IT, they did Texas, in spite OF the Eng
lsh notes.
And again.
The Island OF Cuba is as necessary as useful
10 the United States, and Is OF as great polltl-
cal as OF commercial convenience and its acQulsi-
ton Is determined upon by their policy. il unto this
day they have not shown the desire, 1t Is because
they counted acquiring 1t when the necessity
should exist. This moment has arrived, and they do
not wish to see the renewal OF an0ther'nvasOn, as
that OF Mexico by France. England and Spain.
