to the American press:
''Insurgtnt Camp ARGOS de Caneei,
''Ft b. ~.
LAS there have been comments in
the American press, il fuenced by the
agents Of the Spanish Government, on
the system Of war followed by the
Cuban patriots, who are represented to
the face Of the world as enemies to the
civil cation and wealth Of this country
l think 1t will be Of interest to your
readers to have a statement of my peg
sOnat experience.
Some years ago I came from the'
| United States to attend to the property
owned by my family in this rich but
unhappy country, and among that
property, especially the important
plantation Santa susanna, il the prov
inCe of Matanzaa.
AS a sy mpathizer with the heroic
efforts Of these people for their freedom
and the estimation Of their republic, I
lned the Cuban army at the begin
ming Of January, fulfilling what l o n
sc~lentiousiy considered my duty, but
with the intention | would Obse Y and
enforce to those under my command
the laws Of war adopted by all civilized
nations. A few days after | had ilined
the Cuban army q column of the Span-
ish army, unGer the. commend of Gen.
er8l Prats, arrived at the plantation
Santa susanna my fathers property,
and an American citizen, and In re
veDget for my having 1ned the patriots,
they destroy ed the buildings of the
plantation and everything that they
found,
This vandalous act may be the OBJ
jnct Of sad comparison if you consider
the conduct observed by General GomeZ
and his men. while they occupied the
plantation 'Eap8na belonging to Mr..
Romeo BObledi, Crown Minister, ana
who is the enemy of Cuban liberties
in the plantation 'Portugalous,' where
Gomez has enCampCd three times,
owned by Manuel CaIvi, leader of the
most retrOgraCe Of the Spanish army
and in the plantation San Antony Of
the Marques Of DavalO, also q of the
greateet enemies of the Cubans, where
the General exacted Of his troops the
greatest OF respect towards the property
and wOrkmen.
Decide now who are the ones who
carry on the war in q c;vlliz d manner
and who are those who fight savagea
