cleared the province Of Pinar del Rio of

of actual independence for Cuba This dis
patch then continues:

If Spain were better informed on for
eign opinion, they would see that their
cruelhes raise the strongest prejudice
against them in the United States. Rial,
executed at Manila, may do his captors
more harm dead than alive.
