Captain General Arsenic Martinez de
Campos has made the following statement
to the New York World from Madrid:
firmly believe that the recognition Of
the belligerency of the Cubans is an as
sault upon international morality, after the
policy of destruction followed by the
Cubans, and when they have neither a
geographical point where we may meet
them nor one that they have preserved
when we have attacked them, and when
they have not made stand against
columns much inferior in numbers, such
as those that pursued them, and when
having been in positions almost impreg-
nable they have always abandoned them to
us.
