THE ORIGIN OF THE CUBAN
QUESTION.
LA Liberte-Paris, Nov. 2

L LIN dl!SG llISuIlCCLlOU WHICH Has
just covered Spain in blood is, for the
present, stlfed but other grave preoccu-
patlons are arising now for the Govern
ment of the Regency first, the choice of
a king, then, IN particular, the Cuban
question.
To properly estimate the events which
have been happening in Cuba for a year
past, we must 60 back to their origin.
After the death of Ferdinand VII. of
Bourbon in 1887, Spain, by a measure as
impolitic as unjust, deprived the Cuban
delegates of the rigt of sitting in the Con-
@stituent COrtes. Since then the island of
Cuba has had no representative in the
Spanish Chambers to defend its interests.
The Constitution of 1897 declared in an
additional article that "the provinces be-
yond sea should be governed by special
laws" and for thirty-two years they have
been waiting for these laws. 1t was in
vain that the rich landowners, the most
illustrious patriots in Cuba, raised their
voice and addressed their petitions to the
mother country it remained deaf both to
the supplications and demands Of public
opinion. "Give us seif-government; let
US participate in your rights, as we make
your fortune. Every year we pour into
your treasury 80 millions of douros U3O
millions of %francs) to pay Spanish officials
we could well do without if you let US

When the magnitude of the evil occa-
stoned disturbances, when the cries of
public opinion necessarily increased, the
Ministry of the Union desired that the
Cubans should come and explain their
grievances. The delegates arrived and
were received by sections, in secret, by a
moderate Ministry, which dis missed them
without any hope of Improvement. Fresh
taxes imposed increased the discomfort of
the delegates, who returned to their coun-
try convinced that they could only obtain
justice by force.
All the places in the Administration, as
we'll as in the army and navy and civil
service, were given to Spaniards, more or
less honest, who went there to make their
fortune, not merely by their pay, but by
the illicit profits Of their positions !; and
they took care to leave these offices to
other Spaniards who, like them, enriched
themselves at the expense of the tax
payers. Nothing was left to the Cubans
but working in the fields and paying the
excessive taxes divided amongst the of

The fall Of Isabella suddenly happened.
Generals Serrano, Prim, and Topete were
excited by the cries for justice and liber-
ty. Don Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, a
lawyer of Bagamo Gn Cuba), raised the
standard Of revolt. The Government of
the Spanish revolution, instead of imme-

Cuban patriots demanded with so much

the end of that time they sent a captain
general, Don Domingo Dulce, to nourish
their hopes OF a change. But the Cubans
understood the new stratagem, and, with
out waiting any longer, raised the standard
OF revolt to the cry of independence.
Then the national struggle began, which
has been spreading for a year. Neither
the numerous troops sent by Spain-who
are decimated by the vomito negro, nor the
efforts of the volunteers, recruited for the
most part from the lowest class,~nor the
threatening articles Of the Spanish press,
nor conhScation, exile, fusilIades,, &c.
nothing has been able 10 calm the ~revolu-

formidable proportions.
The Cubans do not content themselves
with struggling in their native land TO
conquer their autonomy; they are sending

Cuba what Piedmont and Cavour did with
