BosroN, November 49, 1873
GE~TLEMES--ltI IS not in my power TO lie
with Won at YOUR meeting TO ask for jlstice
in Cuha. Allow me To ado that, longing for
immediate emancipation In this neighbour
ing island where slavery still rear5 its in
famous front, and always insisting that de-

case where civilization has received a
shock.

condemned in damages, can make us
forget that We are dealing with the
Spanish nation, struggling under terrible
difficulties to become sister republic, and
therefore deserving from us present for
bearance aud candOr. Nor can we forget
the noble President, whose eloquent voice
pleading for humanity and invoking our
example, has 50 often charmed the world.
The Spanish republic aud Emilio CASTELAR,
DO not deserve the menace OF war from us.
If watch words are needed now let them be
immediate ancipation and justice in
Cuba, success to TIE Spanish republic,
honur and gratitude to Emilio CASTELAR, and
peace between our two nations.
BeaIing this in mind, there will be no Oc-
Gasiun Tor the belligerent preparations of
the last few days. adding TO our present
burdeu5Ome expenditures several millions
of dollars. and creating d war fever 10 inter
body.
am. gentlemen, y0ur faithful servant.
