bravura. Nuestra .brillante historis
militar es Ia que ha inspirado 4 S. II
ya su Gobierno la fnndada esperanzs
de que 81 ej9rcito, de Cuba, emulo de
los lauros del ejercito de Ia Penlnsu-
la, no tArdara en- restablecer la paz de
esta terra, aunque tenga que sopor-
tar las mas rudas fatigas J las mas
penosas privaciones, aunque tenga que
luchar con el china y con los elemen-
tOs.
La palabra impossible no ha existido
nunca en- ell diccionario de Ia guerra
para soldados espanoles. Impossible
parecfa que los montafleses de Pelayo
reconstituyeran la monarquia, y la
reconstituyeron: impossible parecfa
que los soldados del Gran Captain
conquistaran Ia mayor parte de la
Italia, y Ia conquistaron: impossible
parecia que los compaf1eros de Cortes
y de Pizarro Sc cnse1orearan en- Me
jico J en- el Peru, y realizaron tan
alta emprcsa impossible parec'a que
Ia Espaha de Carlos ~ resistiera al
Captain del siglo, y 10 despen6 de su
trono. La palabra impossible, 10 rePe-
timos con orgullo, no ha existido nun
ca en- el diccionario de la guerra para
soldados espaflolcs porque han sabi-
do sustituirla con la breve Erase no
Smporta.
tAparecera por primera vez esta
fatidica palabra con aplicacion q la
isla de Cubaf ] Impossible! excla-
mamos nosotros desde Ell fondo de
nuestra alma. Ell ejercito que pelea
bajo ell ardiente sol de los tr6picos, en-
los campos de Ia isla de Cuba, Sc
distingue por su abnegacion, por su
constancia y su bravura, y esta deci-
dido & llevar ell sacri6cio hasta el
extreme. Despreciapdo siempre la
muerte, el sufrimiento no lie espanta,
y reconoce 10 nucho que hay de no
bic y grande en- el encargo de man
tener la integridad de la nacion, que
torpemente han atacado los rebeldes.
Ell ejercito de Cuba sabe que 10 con-
templan los cuatro siglos que han me-
diado desde que Crist6bal Colon clav6
en- esta terra la cruz de Cristo y la
bandera de Castillo.
Ell ejercito de Cuba sabe que, en-
determinadas circumstances, no bas-
tan la abnegacion, la perseverance, y
el valor, que es indispensable el entu-
siasmo, que alegra ell Amino y duplica
las fuerzas fIsicas, y no ha de faltarle
entusiasmo para poder decir maflana
al ejercito de la Peninsula: "Tu ci-
fies los laureles de Aragon, Valencia,
Navarro y las Provincias Vasconga-
das, yo ciilo los laure'es de Cuba tn
has puesto terlnino a la guerra civil.
yo he conservado Ia integridad del
territorio nacional." Ell ejercito de
Cuba sabe que sobre la nobleza indi-
vidual 8 de familia esta la gran no
bleza colectiva que lleva consigo la
honrosa profession de las armas con
esta persuasion lidiara siempre, no ol-
vidando que<noblcza obliga.
