the Government is taking active measures 10

How will Il affect Cuba 80 IS the first question
which will present itself to the mind OF Americans
on their reading news about an alleged Repuo-
lcan movement in Spain This Is the case to re-
salI the saying History repeats Itself. and 10
see that it has application in the present IN
stance Indeed. in 1868. the first rumblings OF the
great Cuban insurrection which lasted for ten
years were heard after the overthrow OF the mon
archy at Madrid and the flight OF Queen Isabella;
and they might have been considered as the echo
OF liberal principles, proclaimed by the Repuohcan
Government OF Prim, Serrano and lopete. Inc
Cubans thought that the Spanish Repubhcahs
would be like those OF Hancey. who in 1882 asserted
themselves also and applied the motto Perish
the Republic rather than its principles. and let
the colonies go 10 ruin. or 10 independence. as
consequence OF the abolition OF slavery decreeu
by the National Assemblies OF the metropolis. pu'
the Cubans had forgotten that the intensely de-
veloped patriotism OF the Spaniards would ever pre-
