ELOQUENT LETTER or THE CUBAN SECRETARY
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Secretary of Foreign Relations Of the Cuban
Republic writes from Sibanica, at date of Oct %,
declaring that the resolution of the American Gov
erument to observe vigorously what called the
laws of neutrality is Of material service TO Spain.
1.-THE people of Cuba he says, who askfor nothing
but arms with which to throw off the most Oppres-
sive of tyrannies think, without doubt, that they
have a right to demand them, when especially, they
see every day the arsenas of their oppressors grow
ing richer in warlike material and arms, taken from
the best manufactures of the United States, aud
shipped out of their ports. In truth it seems to be
but a sarcasm to talk Of neutrality when
ships are detained that carry ont no re-
sources, while all the Spanish army, including
the volunteers were provided with the best Of fire.
yilrns we'll artillery Notwithstanding all this,
and thonqh we are without resources affairs 40 nvt
go well with the enemy. He only holds the ground
that bis foot presses Rivers Of blood may fertlize
the soil of Cuba and the flames of its burning fields
may for long time illumine the country. Our lnte-
Nor resources may be exhausted and we may be
abandoned to our lot. HecatOmbs Of innocent and
inoffpnsiye victims nav sanctify the cause of our
independence. thus throwing back upon Spain the
eX eCratiOn Of generations yet UNBORN, ana casunS
disgrace upon the people who shall look passlyeiy
on. Every calamity that can be imagined may tall
upon ms but never. never will the eXecntiOncrs of
Cuba be able again to Imprint upon her the seal OF
Slavery aud lguomlny"

as has been the case nearly always, may truly say
we came out conquerors. We have only few effects
of war, but shall endeavor to remedy this deficiency
As to the organization Of government among us no
one can form an opiuion Of tins who IS not mere

contend We have an established Government, a
mail service beside manufactures and workshops
