Interview with General Zambrana.
Antonio Zambrana, member OF the Cuban Con-
gress, stated to a HERALD reporter yesterday that
the views OF some Americans upon the Cuban ques-
tion were singularly one sided and unjust great
deal was said about 1000 Cubans staying in New
York when they ought to be in the field fighting.
There is garing exaggeration OF the number.
There are no more than 500 Cubans in New York
who are capable OF bearing arms These men are
all ready and willing TO return to the
island at any moment But how are they

struggle, which opportunity he trusted in GOD
would soon come about
