Thomas Estrada Palma. The writer
says:
with us everything goes on very
well, and there is no doubt of our abil-
ity to triumph, If by no other means by
exhausting Spain. If the United States,
observing their own laws. would not in
terfere with the shipments of arms and
ammunition for US. it would be a great
service rendered to Cuba without pro-
voking any complications with Spain,
for, as l understand it, these shipments
would be perfectly legal
Il have been compelled by circum-
stances to resort to extreme measures.
Gen. Wewler, in his desire Of gaining
glory and Of obstructing the recognition
Of our belligerency, went. in his proc
lamations, so far as to promise the plant
ers that they would be able to grind
their sugar cane, while to the govern
ment he gave. the assurance that the
elections could be peaceably held, and
to the country at large he declared that
Pinar del Rio and some other provinces
would be soon pacified. Some of the
planters, showing themselves willing to
believe that the general would keep his
promise, began to get ready for grinding
the cane. Under the circumstances [
made up my mind to invade Pinar del
Rio again, in order to show that we are
fully able to compel obedience to the or
ders Of our government.
II am perfectly satisfied with the sue
cess which has attended all my opera
tions during this second invasion, which
shall last as long as there is anything to
