during the march of eight DAYS and is nov
not far from 400 strong. According To

Spanish interests In Cuba.
These organs state he was the direct cause
of the great insurrectiOn Of 1869, for it was
he that as Ultramar Minister submitted
the 18th of November, 1856 10
Queen Isabella the report the
object OF which was to assemble
to make an investigation upon
the condition of Cuba and Porto Rico.
The investigation was made nut under the
pressure of Canovas del CASTILLO who de-
clared in his report
THE AMERICAN COLONIES
ought not TO enjoy the liberal code OF
1872 which was applied in the peninsula.
He also claimed the maintenance OF al
administration as necessary for
Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t was then. say
these journals, the long insurrectiOn broke
out and they now fear the same condition
of affairs will come about since Aguero'S
return to Cuba has followed so close upon
the return TO power of Canoyas del CASTILLO,
