New York, July 1.-The World publishes
an address from Gen. Rafael de Queseda
20 the American people. Among other
things, this statement says:
MANY misstatements regarding the Gu
ban situation have been made. They
should be corrected. I have received word
from Cuba today that Gen. Maeeo is not
prisoner. lie is at the head OF his forces
and confident OF speedy success.
II wish to express gratitude to the
American people for their sympathy. We
arc fighting a system OF iufamy and OPP
preston. We are fighting the Spanish
government. not the Spanish people. I
find American sentiment with M. I have
more than thousand letters from leading
citizens OF the United States expressing
sympathy and offering aid in behalf OF
free Cuba / have told all these gentle
men that We cannot violate the law
They must wait until we are recognized
as beiiigerents by the United States gov
eminent. Then we shall have all the men
and arms we need. and the war VIII end
quickly.
'T may say. however. that Cuba IN prac-
ticaily ours. Victory IL already in sight.
We occupy nearly all the island. The
spanish soldiers have the towns and the
ground they stand on. Despite statements
20 the contrary. the death rate among the
Spanish troops is appalling. The rein
forcelnents asked by Gen. Campos are To
fiji broken regiments The pestilenre is
sweeping away the soldiers with increas-
ing speed
Gen. Campos a few weeks ago had a
total force of 1000 men. We have 10000
armed soldiers In tho field. but we have
10000 men ready to go to the front and
fight as soon as they can get guns and
ammunition.
THE situation I'm Cuba has changed
within a week. The yellow fever destroys
more men In day than are killed IN many
- - W.
and August Gen. Campos win lose 1000
men from yellow fever alone.
I'VE want more arms and ammunition.
We could dispose OF 2oo0.00o cartridges at
once. The men TO use them are ready to
march at an hours notice.
MART was a great organizer. and his
services were OF inestimable value. There
has been delay In filling his place. But by
July ! his successor will be Installed
Meanwhile the yellow fever will have
slain thousands Of the enemy. and we
shall conquer.
I'VE shall soon he recognized as helli-
cerents The republic will be proclaimed
very soon. The first country 90 recognize
our new government will be Chile next
Peru and then Colombia, and next Ar
gentins. The South American countries
are with us. Venezuela has too many seri-
Gus complications just now 10 make any
tests the Spanish government. We have
her entire sympathy. Her wealthy and
influential young men have held many
meetings recently and sent us substantial
aid.
I'm North America the Gulf states are
with us 10 a man. Florida is enthusiast
caIiy for Cuba. So We are confident OF
winning our cause and establishing a sub
stantIal republic NJ an early day. We con-
tr.Ao Fsaxp NnA
compiished.
I'VE wish again 20 thank tho press and
thu people OF America for their sympathy
and letters Of encouragement. Meanwhile
we shall obey the laws and. IN obedience
"a President C7evcsard's proclamation. do
nothing contrary TO the VII OF the gov
eminent"
