SINTOMAS

tos trigos mas de cuatro cosas
por todo extreme interesantes.
Decfa con gran candor, no re-
cordamos 81 un peri6dico de esta
isla 6 de la Peninsula, que Mar
tfnez Campos no SO ha retirado,
como al principle Sc dijo, de la
polftica aotiva.
Ahora tenemos que, pues no
sofoco Weyler en- dos meses IL
revoluci6n cubana, va no sir
viendo este candiilo.
Y parece como q1e Martinez
Campos empieza q alzarse en- la
opinion.
Par6cenos ESQ perfectamente
racional.
Y es curioso YER como hay en-
tire nosotros quien acaricia la
idea de que MARTINEZ Campos
vendra de nuevo q sellar la psz
en- Cuba.
No nos a7enturamos q decir
tanto.
Lo que 81 juzgamos que pode-
mos afrmar es que ell criterio
del caudillo del Zapj6n ha de
ejercer infujo podefos1simo en-
el desenvolvlmiento de los pro-
blemas antillanos
En- Espana habra de sonar
mGffcho todaT1a 81 nom0re DEL
ilustre general.
No decimos que Sc rehabilita-
ra, porqus no cay6, sino en- O.
sentido de la vocinglerfa que,
desconociendo por comp eto el
caracter de la guerra de Cuba y
la manera de ser de las antillas,
juzga que puede traerse este q
golpes, como 81 estuvi6ramos en
Africa.
Empiezan a notarse va sfnto-
mas evidentes de reacci6n en-
esos mismos elementos, y vale la
pena ponerse desde ahora en-
acecho de los sucesos que ven
dram.
Podrfan deducirse de semeian-
to observation, provechos1simas
lecciones.
I1o primero que sacar1amos en-
limpio ser1a la va clasica verdaa
de que don Quijote SO perpetda
entire nosotros de edad en- edad,
sin que logren los progresses de
los tiempos disipar jamas ese
eterno prototype
Recu6I desc, 81 no, que clio es
reciente a1n, como SO trasfundi6
Espana en- la persona de Weyler
para acabar en- un instante con
la revuelta cubana.
Pero lego a cuba el general
w.. ahUra mlsmo suena en-
los perl6 1lcos que la tuaci6n de
la guerra es peor que cuando dl-
rigia Martfhez Campos la cam
pima.
Tambi6n es l6gico.
Martinez Iampos representa-
en- Cuba la 1alca idea possible
para ha1monizar la dig idad de
los cubanos con el reposo de la
metr6poli
Estan cdmpletamente desacre-
ditados los procedimientos mo
hosos a que SO afurran todavfa
